“I don’t like the prices this company charges, so I’m going to be an asshole to the workers, because NYEEEEEH!”

Go run in front of a bus right now. Like, right now.

regardless of the fact that punishing the kids/janitors who have to clean up after your rude ass does nothing to remedy your gripe with the theater owners/movie distributors insane prices, this sort of logic is just childish. “I don’t like how expensive something is, so i’m going to leave trash here for them to pick…

Leaving your trash neatly together at the end of the row or under the seat was actually a cultural norm. Granted not since the Carter administration, but I do remember my mom doing this the first time I went to see a movie in a theater (so like 78-79). It seemed unbelievable to me. There weren’t lots of big trash cans…

That’s why I occasionally drive by and throw trash in the yard of the guy who works the night-shift at my corner gas station. “Fuck you, Roger! Why my gas and smokes still so spendy?”

Yah bc the employees stuck doing the cleanup are totally the ones setting the ticket prices, well done, you

Yes but your unicorn is poisonous.

Working at a fast food joint, the manager was a really nice man who did charity work with immigrant children on the side, was endlessly cheerful, and so on. I’m working drive-through. Customer orders his food in heavily accented English, and gets abusively irate when I ask him (politely) to repeat his order. I’m…

Might have been smoking weed as well, but I’d bet there was other stuff before the weed came out.

(Side note, I accidentally typed ‘smoking wood’, which is an entirely different activity, and means you’re preparing brisket in the back seat- and so probably don’t want McDonalds anyway)

Got a bunch of stars for this story on an unrelated Kitchenette blog. Worth reposting:

I am made unreasonably happy about the shake story. Though I don’t personally work there, there’s a small, local ice cream shop down the road I get coffee at (weird, I know, but it’s cheap and pretty good) and there are just so many entitled kids there whose parents don’t do anything about. TThe worst one of these…

@sshole kids are the absolute worst because you can’t even really get back at them due to their age.

(Editor’s Note: If you think she deserved to have her life ruined on account of some weed, do us all a favor and go fuck yourself)

I had two bosses at Borders before I managed the place. One was legitimately insane and routinely threw books at me.

I loved this story. I was so happy that it was a stand alone because it deserved to be and because I didn’t have to spread my appreciation across multiple accounts. I’d rather be picking boof fallowing from my teeth than picking apart the logic behind Josh’s actions. *BURP*

But they’re asking for it. They even said it phonetically. Where did they get the idea that the restaurant even served it? They MUST have seen it on the menu. I would have just asked for them to point to it. Problem solved.

This reminds me of my Ghanaian friend in college. His English was great—ETA, like other commenters are pointing out, English is Ghana’s national language—but the heavy accent sometimes placed emphasis on the most unexpected syllable or something and suddenly the whole word would be pretty much lost. Category, for…

I always applaud appetizer-based diplomacy.

My 1.5 year old smelled like she crapped her diaper.
