What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[BoringSupreez]

My cat had killed my saturn....its a short and sad story. Large cats should not try to fit into small spaces and then use physics to test the laws of gravity.

What a shame. Only one of those two can reproduce, and of course the one that can't is the one who died.

This kinda pissed me off, but its more of a "some people..." story.

So Friday afternoon I went to the bank to make a deposit right? And the place is swamped. Huge line for the tellers, huge line for the desk clerks, obviously long waits no matter what you're there for.

Over in the corner are this big greasy fuck maybe in his late twenties, and a middle aged woman, sitting and waiting to speak to someone. As one of the clerks walks by with another customer, the woman stops her and starts asking her questions. How long is it going to be, we've been waiting, will it be today, and no matter what the clerk says, she just keeps repeating herself, getting louder and more obnoxious by the moment.

The clerk knows that nothing she can say will placate this woman, so finally she offers to contact another bank location (the closest of which is about a mile and a half away) and see if they have a shorter wait time.

Finally the greasy guy speaks up, and in this small bank full of people and more than a few kids, he yells at the clerk: "Man, suck easy you fucking bitch! Let's go Mom, fuck this bitch."

To top off that bit of absurdity, as the two of them are storming out, the mom gently chides him as though speaking to a child, "You shouldn't use that kind of language when talking to people." I guess the lesson is its okay to be a belligerent, impatient shithead, just so long as you don't cuss.

I deal with arrogant jackasses on a regular basis, but I still get a surprise every once in a while, and this guy did the trick. What a stupid, sleazy fuckhead.

To the employee's credit, she went right back to work without missing a beat. I'm impressed she was able to keep her temper. I would have lost mine in her position.

On a side note, "suck easy"? Seriously?

- I used Ship-To-Store for my Walmart order which estimated a 2 week delivery. To my delight it was delivered 2 days later but Walmart intentionally held it for the 12 days before sending me the "ready for pick up" email. I don't get the point of this. Maybe they want to discourage people from using their free shipping.

When I worked at Walmart I sometimes ran the site-to-store pickup system. There's absolutely no reason for them to have done that, other than laziness. In fact, at my store we were always really short on storage space for site-to-store stuff, so the faster we got it out the better,

This kinda pissed me off, but its more of a "some people..." story...

The class some people have is incredible, isn't it? A situation like this is an opportunity to shine (or get shot, who knows?).

As my family and friends will tell you, I'm not shy when it comes to confronting jerks like the one you mentioned. Not kidding, I would approach the guy loudly with "SIR!" Once I have his attention, "I would appreciate it if you did not use foul language around women and children and there is zero reason for you accost a lady who is simply doing her job. You owe her an apology".

Think I'm nuts? Perhaps, but that tactic seems to always work for me. It's humiliating to the person, as usually that light bulb in their brain goes off and they realize "Man, I was kind of a dipstick".



Smile: Pretty nice night yesterday. My next door neighbors recently returned from a cruise, and brought me three Cuban cigars. My wife had some lady friends over, and we enjoyed an hour or so out near the fire pit, and then visited the game room where a few beautiful gals battled over a few games of Dr.Mario.

The competition was fierce, the language was awful, but htis guy enjoyed every second of it. Pretty ladies playing da vidja games? Yes please.

Following that we worked on a jigsaw puzzle together while listening to a lot of stand up. At least three hours of funny, and also some of my old material.

Spent the last 3 and a half hours getting my games organized. My Dreamcast stuff has been sitting in a box for so long, everything was not in the right boxes, manuals were loose, some discs were loose. This collection was given to me by my brother and was in a serious state of disrepair. Few cases are in good condition, most are cracked or with missing doors or missing altogether. So I cleaned up the cases, got everything in order, put loose discs into new jewel cases and organized it on my shelf. It still is a weird mess though as I have cases, but no games, a game, its manual, but no case.

Also went through the PC collection we had as kids and got that organized. No cases or boxes were kept. As a kid we never thought about keeping that stuff. Many manuals are salvaged, which is a plus, but I almost ran out of jewel cases to get them, my dreamcast and my passed down PS2 collection (with which is JUST loose discs. No manuals or cases.)

Also got my dinky sega cd collection all cleaned up also and realized I had more than I thought, which is nice. Missing manuals popped up and are put in the last remaining cases.

These poor guys went through hell when I was a kid and my older brothers put them through even worse conditions. Luckily, everything plays great (except one copy of Dead or Alive 2 for the dreamcast, which I may just get resurfaced) so I can at least be thankful for that!

I never plan on selling this stuff, but I hope to maybe track down the cases and manuals of the stuff that has been missing. The collection is huge enough as it is, especially my Saturn collection, again with no cases, but a lot of key manuals for games like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dragon Force, Shining Force III, Burning Rangers etc.

I am just happy that I was able to free up some space, get things organized.

The token white guy from the Disco Inferno video makes me smile. He's jamming out without a care, no matter how silly he might look.

After about a year of on-again/off-again work - finished my eldest daughter's playhouse today; she did 100% of the painting:
