I'll set you forever free

1- No, my priest guy, brother Markus, is not a pedophile. Can we stop with that joke already? It was funny the first time, the accusations are getting a little old now...

2- Yes, I'm a girl who plays guys most of the time. Yes, I've played ONE dude who passed himself off as a girl. One, in around ten years of tabletop gaming. No, ALL my characters are NOT sexual deviants. The crossdresser was actually completely straight, he even got married at the end of the game! Can we, again, stop with the jokes already? My own sexual orientation has nothing to do with who my characters lust for. I am not my character.

3- On that subject, I'd appreciate if you found another expression for "this is bad" than "gayyyy". What are we, twelve? Real life homosexual here, I know you don't mean anything bad by it on purpose, but it does get on my nerves. Besides, some people might be less tolerant than me by the name-calling, and you might end up hurting someone for real. Be more careful.

I actually like (most of!) these guys a lot, it's just minor annoyances. I know they're teasing me, but there are other subjects to tease me about than this one.

Well, this is second-hand, but I had to share.

We have a courtesy booth at my grocery store and we offer check-cashing. Our check-cashing fee is $1 per every hundred dollars, given out in store script. So if you cash a $600 check, we will give you $595 in real cash and $5 in our store script, which can be used at our registers if you spend $10 for each script you would like to use.

Follow me so far? If you would like to use all 5 of your script at once, you would need to spend $50, then you could give us $45 cash and 5 script. Basically, we are charging about 1% and giving you something you can use at the register if you shop with us. If not, throw the script away and eat the fee, which is less than any regular check-cashing business would be charging you.

So, Sunday morning, the manager L, gets called up front for customer service. There is an irate lady at checkstand one, who wants to use all 5 of her script on an $11 order. L explains that that is not how it works. "Where does it say that?!" L shows her where it is printed on the script itself, and points to the sign right next to the check-cashing window, that explains the script. ( I am also dead-sure that whoever cashed her check explained to her how script work, since it was apparently her first time.)

Irate lady begins screaming insults and calling "bullshit" and just generally making a huge ass out of herself. We are ripping her off, and out to scam her and yadda yadda yadda. She starts walking out the door, and L is standing to the side, continuing to listen to her hurl abuse, and she stops in the doorway, turns, and SPITS IN HIS FACE. Then she walks away.

L told me when I came in for my shift that he was just so stunned, he didn't even know what to do. Every person he talked to ( me included ) said he should have detained her in the security office and called the cops on her for assault. But I totally get it, I think I would have been too stunned to do anything too.

The kicker is, this lady came back to the store a few days later, to complain to the store manager about the "bullshit" she had to put up with at our store. And our awesome store manager politely told her she wouldn't have to put up with it any longer, because she was never to shop at our store again, that he would not stand for anyone abusing his employees like that. I wish I could have seen it.

We get that you can't let anything go, but harassing players on a board you stormed away from is only showing how immature you are and driving players away from your new board. They're comparing notes and figuring out you're complaining about them to the each other. How about you think of other people for a change? It would totally surprise everyone if you acted like a grownup and got yourself a different attitude. Play and let play.

Trolling a board you left so you can complain to the people still on it about what they're doing is sad. Play your sparkly slut alteregos with your little group of sex starved associates and create all the self absorbed plots you want to your heart's content. Nobody you left behind cares that you've moved on. Why do you still care about what they do?

Ireland still rainy, things still going smoothly though my nerves haven't really gone away. I want to come home, even though it's nice to be with family. I think I just want to be at home where I can write. I miss it and its hard to write much in my sketch pad.

Going to wake Dani up in a minute because I'm a bad brother XD; Though I'm sure the little sis would wake her up anyway if I didn't.

Mewm, missing you all!

Jobless right now but was out shopping with my room mate today at a Family Dollar store.


Dear confused older woman,
You passed me no less than 4 times while I was talking to my room mate, as we discussed everything under the sun (INCLUDING making fun of some of the merchandise!). Based on my attire, I obviously DO NOT work here. So why are you asking?

Love,
PsychoTwinkie




Note: Disturbed hoodies are not attire for most places of business.

p.s. i think this actually tops the time i was asked if i worked at Office Depot while wearing a Gundam Wing shirt!

 

 

Fail or Win?

(FYI: My store is open until 11pm and it's 9:45pm. I am done at 10pm but I had a last break and my manager and co-worker okay-ed me simply leaving 15 minutes early.)

I'm just getting ready to leave when a customer stops me on my way to the check-out.  I have my jacket on over my uniform and a bag on my arm and everything. To be honest, I don't mind getting stopped if people are asking where an item is or what time the store is closed but this guy just kept talking and complaining to me about.....the soup being all gone in the Hot Deli. 

Of course the soup is all gone- that department is closed at 10pm and the store itself is closed at 11pm. At a certain point during the night, if the soup runs out, they don't refill the pots because it's wasteful. It takes a while for the soup to even melt because it comes in frozen. 

I explained all this. Cue "This store only caters to people who work the 9-5 shifts!' rant. (Which makes me laugh because I obviously am not working the 9-5 shift or having any trouble shopping.)

We're even open an hour later than every other grocery store in the area. We offer a sushi bar, a salad bar, a cold deli, a hot deli and a bakery until 10pm. We can only stay open for as long as our Store Manager tells us. If it's going to cost more to pay two people to work for that extra hour than we'll make by staying open then we lose.  

Customer: There's nothing here for me to eat! I want you to tell me what I'm supposed to do!
Me: *points out all the pre-made sandwiches, the chicken wings, the whole chickens (I've seen one person eat a whole chicken by himself), the wedges, the salads- both leafy and not- the mashed potatoes, the sushi and the pizza buns in the bakery* There's plenty here, sir.
Customer: I want SOUP.

I barely held back from chucking a can of Campbell's at his head. I just pointed him in the direction of the hot deli's manager.

>_> This reminds me of all the people who complain when we open for 24 hours during the holidays. They're shopping at 2am and they're complaining that we're open?!

Can it be January now?

I should start out by first saying that I live in Santa Fe, which is not completely populated by a certain race.
I also should say that the customer that pulled the big no on me is totally annoying. The list of sucks perpetrated by this woman is miles long. She comes in at the last minute (I mean, right as we are locking up for the day), she never has any of her paperwork filled out, etc.
I was doing a simple deposit for her last week when she started talking about the economy. I hear it a lot, I work at a bank so no big deal. And then she started ranting about Mexicans. Her song went something like this:

Irritating customer: "I think they should just stick to mopping floors and cleaning toilets or whatever, instead of taking all of the good jobs."
Me: 0_0
IC: "And why can't they learn to speak English? Is it so hard? I can't understand what any of them say. They come to this country and live off of welfare, basically all of them do."
Me: ?!?#?$%#?$%

...And she kept going on and on about her hard earned money going to taxes to feed those wetbacks and I threw up in my mouth a little, because I myself am Mexican. Light skinned and with a valley-girl accent, but I speak Spanish fluently. I also pay my taxes and I went to college. I spend a lot of time shocked at how many stupid things are said to me on a daily basis about my ethnicity, because people have no clue.

Not sure if this counts as a customer suck... but it was too f'ed up.

my grandmother works in a charity shop and they found a box of clothes left there for them.

With a dildo buried in the middle. A used dildo.

Drugstore photo tech. Nuf said.

I had already punched out after my shift AND removed my blue uniform polo shirt. I'd left my shirt in my very full shopping cart while I went to get an item from a nearby aisle. So why did you feel the need to ask me -- in khakis and an "Aussie Surf Co." t-shirt of a very different shade of blue than my uniform, staring at Mom's shopping list no less -- if I work here?? Next time ask someone who is *on* the clock, please.

I can understand if I still had my polo on. But c'mon! (FWIW, I remained courteous and directed her to the item.)

I'm working on a new RP board. It's branching into canon which I've decided to break into since I normally avoid it like the plague. I'm curious if I can get some feedback from members of this site since I trust a lot of your judgments on things. This is the first attempt I've made in a while for a Forum RP and I'm extremely nervous about it.

http://deathnotesr.proboards.com/index.cgi

I've only been working on the site itself for a half hour. If anyone would be interested in dropping some thoughts on management or anything else I'd love to hear it and appreciate any comments.

It's a OC take on Death Note. Stopping just before the end of the first season to introduce a new big bad and change the ending of that episode. I'm wanting to basically make a anime-themed RP to mostly vent on. Bringing in themes that will fit and work with the DN-verse.

Someone getting mad at me because I asked to see a sample of their writing before we got into possible plots for an RP. o.-
Is it really so unrealistic to want to see how someone writes before I waste time and effort coming up with a plot?

There is something really REALLY annoying about gamemasters who wave their E-peen about by stating just how badass their player PCs are, and who will totally kick your PC's arse if they just look crosseyed at him.

I swear, if I get the "Do you really think it's a good idea to annoy\love\flirt\paint\ignore MyPup?" statement again, I will find a way to send a punch to someone via my modem. Especially when it's not meant an advice and just a way to try and cower me into being awed of his PC like everyone else.

Names changed to protect the wantonly idiotic.

"X enters the bar in black leathers the vest being sleeveless carrying a sachel in one hand. A small calico kitten sits on his shoulder. His pale blue eyes searches the room curiously as he walked over and sits on a couch."

English this bad makes me actually throw up in my mouth a little.

And before three of you immediately ask, no, it is his first language.

post tour ROCK!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello from Florida!
we are in beautiful Florida, relaxing for a few days after the tour. It was AWESOME to meet so many of you and ROCK OUT with you whilst we were on tour with KMFDM.
We are moving shortly - somewhere on the east coast of the USA...not sure yet.
We will be setting up an online store to hold the excess merch from the tour. We hope to have this live around Dec1 - keep an eye on the newsletter for details.
We are also looking into European touring and festivals, plus working on new material...we're excited about doing something (musically) very different.

more updates coming...

ROCK!

ZooG.


No, I am not cyberstalking my favorite band, I am simply just an active member of their forum. Who fucking started jumping up and down in happy squeemode.

even though they really do need a vacation or something. I'm totally excited for new music but I do think a break is in order because they seem to be doing all work and no play. Think of me as weird (because what kind of normal person calls themselves a fetus?) but I actually care and hope that they are both not all stressed out. If only because I know that good art can't come from somebody who is all ZOMFGSTRESSSSIMUSTGETITDONENOW.

Anyways:
ANGELSPIT. EAST COAST. NEW MUSIC. LET THE FANGIRLING COMMENCE.

THAT IS ALL.

Dear You,

Your idle threats are no longer good here. Stop bitching to people about not getting your way and then threatening to leave the comm. IDGAF!!! Honestly, two weeks of your non-stop, schizophrinic, paranoid, conspiracy theorist bull shit is enough. No one is plotting against you! If you want to leave, I will no longer try to stop you. You aren't that good of a writer anyway. Sure, my writing may lack in some things, but at least I tend to learn from others, and I like descriptive details. One sentence is crap. What the hell are the other players suppose to do with one measly sentence? Sure, one sentence can have a wealth of information in it, but yours are crap!

( No one cares that you think we are all plotting against you )

Edit:  To fix a word...
Edit because LJ hates me and doesn't want to fix crap!
