In their defence, I went into a pond store the other day that had things in that were more than a pound. It was one of those two-in- one stores.
What really irks me is when a customer buys a seater patio set and then seems surprised when it doesn't fit in their tiny car which is full of shopping.
Nowadays I usually try to release my frustrations by doing something fun, or at least something I want to do. As such, I've pretty much given up hating stuff at this point.

Well, no wonder. Pond stores are notorious for overcharging.
I too dislike it when people come in for refunds. Oh, I'm sorry, that really crappy looking set of earphones you bought for a pound gives really shitty sound? Well that's probably because IT WAS A FUCKING POUND.
Also, it's an inset day, so no school today. FUCK.

That's because you don't have a job stopping you from that. Oh the joy of being 13 years old.
I felt like running out of the store and throwing myself under a bus today.
(That's nothing new though. I feel like that every time I'm in that place...)
It really depends on the job, I think. Though, I'll confess, my coping mechanism for being stuck working somewhere like that would be to completely lose focus and spend my entire day thinking about something else. It's like my superpower, to be able, at any time, think of something completely unrelated to the task at hand and completely focus on that thing to the exclusion of all, more important, things.

That used to work for me, but lately all my thoughts seem to drift to self-loathing.
(It might be due to my loss of faith in humanity. I mean you get some customers that would win multiple Darwin awards just for stepping in the door..,)
My eyes have been having double vision for about 2 weeks now (it looks like everything has a border around it). I went to get my eyes checked and found I need glasses (+1.00 for the right eye and +1.75 for the left).
But, my stupid insurance company (Excellus Blue Cross/Blue Shield) only covers certain glasses, and they have to be shipped. So I have to deal with this for two more weeks.
I wish they'd hurry up and come in. It makes reading text on the computer very difficult (and drawing is pretty much a no go, since it's pretty much impossible to tell where borders are and exactly where color changes, etc.). I just hope my eyesight doesn't get worse while I wait.
I would assume that with your experience, what you call a baby scratch would make grown men faint. :cool:
Hell, just thinking about it is making me feel faint. Then again, I have a thing about fingers. I mean, when you play piano on a fairly regular basis, you grow to love each and every one of your fingers. The weird part is, I have no feelings about complete hands being lopped off... just fingers.
So yeah, that bit in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang had me squirming in my seat just a little bit and wincing repeatedly.

I see, you were concerned about Robert Downey's... finger.
It was bad enough when it got cut off by a door, which is something I've always kinda been 'eek' about (when I was a kid, someone told me a story about another kid who got their finger slammed in the hinge of a door. And my brother's friend got his cut off in a gate. And I got one of my fingers caught in a stamping machine... so yeah. Finger injuries, not my thing.). But then it got sewn back on... so it could get ripped off again!

You might want to stop by the drug store and get a pair of non-prescription reading glasses. They won't be perfect, but they might be better than nothing, and they don't cost that much.
OK, here's something a little more positive. I had a word with my boss yesterday about my frustration over getting stuck on the tills all the time, and he said that he was aware of the situation and was looking into it.
So yeah, hopefully things should get better on that front. Yay.

You render a loyalty to them which obviously next to none of your colleagues feel. I really hope there's rewards in the future.

Was that... was that an actually helpful response? Dear god... what's wrong with you, coolsome?
Bought it. I'd been keeping an eye out for something like this for a while, and it's hard to argue with that sort of price. Plus maybe now I can actually see what all the fuss about this 'Furious Fowls' thing is.

I love meat. It's delicious.

So... when are you going to try it out on one of your fingers?
Okay, I'm sorry. That was mean. Or rude. I can't even tell the difference anymore.
And like that you cheer me up coolslaw!
(Don't ever change! Unless you change into a Megazord or something. which would just be awesome!
My thought exactely.
Second thought: Thank god Tope is female.
I already did. By accident. :cool:
Just a baby scratch though.

...And then eaten by a dog!
Poor finger...

Better start looking at the ads.
Would it be a good buy?
(and don't just say 'get a phone', because those monthly charges are bullshit)

It is remembering though that you get what you pay for with android tablets.
Enjoy your hair before Superman ruins it.
Now if only Telltale would *mmph*
