I've been working here for fifteen years! I have benefits!

Not that **Miller **needs my help here, but that’s how I see it too.

Cue sports chant music
Whooo leetttt the coonts out!!!

coont coont…coont coont

Whooo lettttt the coonts out!!!

coont coont…coon coont
Just enjoying it while I can, cause eventually I coont.

True story: I “worked” in one of The Gord’s first stores.

This thread has turned positively surreal.

I’m trying to imagine the mindset of someone who works as a temp worker slagging off someone who has a full time job with benefits and a retirement package.

Not that there’s anything wrong with either - you need to do what you need to do, but it’s a bit like a garbage man slagging off Justin Timberlake 'cus Timberlake’s job isn’t glamourous enough. Uh, ok.

Of course you care. Why else would you tell your story? If you didn’t give a fuck what people think, you wouldn’t tell anyone anything.

He’s just driving around with his windows down and his system up.

You’re a real piece of shit.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one because the post linked to above (where we find out he has a temp job in a grocery store) makes it clear he lives in the UK where “coon” is not a common word, but the Scottish pronounce “cunt” as “coont”.

But insulting someone within earshot and then blaming them for overhearing it and daring defend themselves? Nope, no benefit of the doubt on that one!

I’m picturing Stan Shmenge standing in a Barnes & Noble, trying to shoot himself in the head with a bow & arrow. Probably the kind of arrow with a suction cup on the tip.

Ooooooooooh! :slight_smile:

So where’s the prick?
ETA: If you’re ashamed because you’ve realized that you’re the asshole of the situation, half-a-dozen white roses and an apology would unexpectedly brighten someone’s day.

Hey, nice. I like that SoulFrost. :slight_smile:

Where do you get that? He talks about working in a grocery store that’s expanding in California and other Western U.S. states. So considering that, and the lovely sentiments he expressed here, there’s no reason to think he’s turned Scottish all of a sudden.

So, he is not a true Scottsman? :slight_smile:

Shows that I should learn better how to read! I just saw “Tesco” (I didn’t even realised they’d started moving into the US).

So - yeah, benefit of the doubt withdrawn! :slight_smile:

Am I the only one imagining Fred Derry knocking Stan through a glass display case while Homer Parish picks up a flag pin off the floor & puts it into his lapel?

“Yeah, I know, ‘The Customer Is Always Right’ and I’m canned. But this customer wasn’t right, brother…”

Will the real Stan Shmenge please stand up?

There’s a character in the Hindu epic Mahabharata who shoots himself in the head with a bow and arrow, sort of. His arrowhead ricochets from the wall of a building and penetrates his eye.

And if he’s not Scottish, he’s CRAP!

I’m thinking more this.

I don’t think (my Irish is very poor) that there is a direct translation of cunt, but that is how Cork people say it. And some Dublin knackers.

They are trying to speak English, their accents just mangle it :smiley:

Oh, and tbh - I never got the coon thing.

I’ve seen a picture of a raccoon - they have a dark band around their eyes, but aside from that they don’t look black.

Is the joke that they steal?

And finally, how bad an insult is coon?
