This is one of my favorite stories. I only observed the events or was told firsthand by those involved. This is a true story.

Working in a crappy thrift store chain. Coworkers are cool as shit though. Befriend all the ones remotely close to my age. Customers are still terrible though. Especially the ones with the shitty kids that just terrorize the store while they absent-mindedly browse and shop.

One day this little shit is just running around the store and just making extra work for everybody for no good reason. Opening sealed bags of random toys. Etc.

After finally having enough of his bullshit, a coworker friend goes over to the kid and tells him, very sternly, he needs to go back to his mom. Little shit runs back and complains to his mom whom happens to be a total bitch; like when I hear the term “Karen” being used, she’s a textbook example of one.

Karen escalates, fast forward to outside the managers office, there stands Karen, my Friend, Manager and Little Shit.

While Karen is bitching to the Manager about how “Friend can’t talk to her kid like that” & “he’s not his father,” etc. The Little Shit looks at Friend and with a taunting edge stated: "You’re gonna get fired!" Without missing a beat Friend looks Little Shit in the eye and replies with a simple Fuck You. A 34 year old man saying that to some 10 year old brat? Hilarious. Everybody just fell silent with their jaw on the ground. Karen, Manager and Little Shit all silent for a moment. The rage building in Karen was written all across her face though. When she could finally utter words Manager started with "Friend, go home." “Okay!” He left with a great big smile on his face… he did get fired because of that though. He said it was worth it.

Egads, I long for those days.

Going in completely dark like that can be so damn good. That was how I watched From Dusk till Dawn for the first time. Also Barbarian another great one to go in totally blind.

Oh I’m sorry, I thought you were into history.

Lol definitely me in middle school and onward. Never got in trouble for it though which was neat after reading through this thread.

Sheeeeit I’ll do your brakes for you. Brakes is easy and satisfying.

Thank you. That’s one of my little pet peeves I see online; that and when people are trying to say lose but type loose.

Maaan, I had so many different skins for my Winamp player. Was such a great time to be on the internet. It was open and anonymous and had yet to be fully commercially exploited.

Thank you. This is just a reaction shitty people can have regardless of gender. If their fragile ego can’t handle a rejection they go to anger and insults immediately. So bizarre.

Lmao yeah that’s exactly what I meant to say. That’s what I get for hastily trying to browse my phone at work XD

Wasn’t that the opening scene to Inception Tenet?

Yeah, I bought a JBL Clip after having borrowed one from my at the time gf’s dad. The sound quality was a lot better than what I was expecting especially for such a small speaker; along with the added benefit of being waterproof it was worth the investment to me personally.

Yes my bathroom shower routine is long enough I will justify putting on music. Even if it’s a 5 minute drive to the store I’m going to want music. If I can have music playing I’m usually going to be listening. I don’t understand those people who have broken radios in their car and just drive in silence, or the people who have blown out speakers but don’t care about the quality. I can’t do it lol

Linguo dead?
