Yeah, the first time she was wearing my wolvering/daken shirt and the dude was quizzing her "do you know who is on that shirt" "what is his relationship to the other person?" and I walked back and told him to gently caress off.

The second time she was wearing my blue lantern shirt and random dude asked her "do you know what lantern you are representing?"

That's a misunderstanding, the guy wasn't an rear end in a top hat, he was just forgetful and colorblind.

Not so much. All the Lantern Corps have a different symbol. If he is going to grognard out so hard, he should know those regardless of color. Just another Gater, it seems.

Dumbass got bamboozled by a cute girl and tried to sabotage her employment as revenge, because I 100% believe that redditors would be so petty as to try and gently caress up somebody's chance at a job over a coupon for free fries.

poo poo that didn't happen: "the interviewer thanked me for my contribution to the interview process" sounds like a coded "gently caress off, weirdo" that went right over his head.

Also, what kind of employer has interviewees just lined up waiting to be interviewed? Has this guy ever had a real job in his life? The way he describes it I'm picturing somebody at a desk just interviewing one person after another. :psyduck:

Um, quite a few actually. When I was applying for a job with Orlando Fire Department, there were about 20 or 30 people who made it to the interview portion, and we all sat in a room waiting for our name to be called to go in and interview.

This is a weird thing to point out.

I don't know, this one seems more plausible than others because it's less over-the-top. The full STDH experience would have him tell the hiring manager and the two of them agree to "teach her a lesson." Then the manager would lead her through a humiliating interview while he watched through a tinted window and jerked off. At the end, he'd walk out with a smirk on his face and say "remember me?" and then her face would fall dramatically and he and the manager would high-five.

I kind of agree with the principle here, though. If someone will cheat or steal in little ways, then they are more likely the type of person to do so in bigger ways.

She was a terrible creature and did not deserve our love
"I am a late riser. I like to wake up at 11a.m. or later. But Im also an avid fisherman. Sometimes these two things clash. Like a couple days ago. I was getting our supplies for lunch and that took me to the [local supermarket chain] in a miniscule town 50 miles from home at 7 a.m. while we got another member in my party his fishing license.

Im stalking around the isles like a zombie, sipping my coffee and praying for my drat headache to go away. Im wearing black athletic pants, black water shoes, and a raggedy camo longsleeve shirt, my hair is everywhere and I have one hell of a five o clock shadow going on.

Despite my appearance, my foul mood, and my headache, Im still trying to be pleasant with everyone. Cause hey, everyone deserves a smile, right? But apparently willingly interacting with someone you don't know automatically means youre an employee. Allow me to introduce Former Trophy Wife. FTW seems like one of those women who is at church every sunday so she can gossip after the service. Im also willing to bet she has "Live Laugh Love" in at least 4 places of her home. She also appeared to have has at least 4 touch ups to her face/breasts/stomach.

FTW:Hey you!

Me: wha...?(still not all "there")

FTW: Find me these! shoves shoping list at me

Then I kinda realize whats going on.

Me: No. Find an employee.

FTW: You are an employee. (she said it slow, like I was an idiot.)

Me:(irritated, Ive got only a limited amount of time) Ma'am, kindly gently caress off somewhere over there.(I gesture to the side of the store I'm not going to and begin walking off.)

FTW:(shoves her cart in front of me.) EXCUSE ME!? WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME!? WHERE IS YOUR-

I lifted a hand to cut her off. Which works surprisingly well.

Me: I said: gently caress. Off. Over. There. Its too damned early to deal with you or anyone elses bullshit. I'm on a schedule, and I wont have you throwing it off. So do us both a favor and gently caress. OFF. OVER. THERE.

FTW:(gaping at me) ILL HAVE YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND IS-

Me: I don't give a poo poo who your husband is in this backwater ratty rear end town. He can gently caress off with you. And tell him if hes gonna pay for plastic surgery to pay the big bucks cause you're one saggy old bitch.

I then proceed to shove her cart out of the way and finish my shopping. But nay, twas not the end of her.

Im at the cash register handing my money to the cashier when I hear this ghoulish harpy shriek.

FTW: THERE HE IS!

I roll my eyes and turn, to see her strutting triumphantly towards me with a manager following.

FTW:I WANT HIM FIRED!

My poor cashier almost fainted, thinking somehow he had done something wrong. The manager recognizes that it is I the harpy shrieketh for.

M: he... He doesn't work here.

She whirled on him like a gorgon seeking its next target.

FTW: HOW DARE YOU DEFEND HIM!!

Me: [on the phone] Uh, yes Im at [local grocery chain] in [backwater town] theres a woman here who is causing quite the ruckus and I'm worried she may become violent...

Her face goes white and she falls to the floor sobbing and wailing incoherently. Watching a police officer arrive, begin to escort her out, and eventually have to bring her to the geound when she began to try to run away, made the 45 minutes of fishing I missed so very worth it.

TL;DR- former trophy wife gets what she deserved.

Edit: if you scroll down in my post history you can see one of the pictures feom that day. "20+browns caught today""

Why would someone lay on the floor crying and screaming while they wait for probably half an hour+ for the police to get there instead of...just leaving before the police get there?

Of course, everything after being mistaken for an employee happened only in his head, but still.

Getting mistaken for an employee is the ultimate power trip fantasy for retail working stiffs.

"Heh, she thinks I'm an employee. Time to be as obtuse as possible and instantly escalate the situation while trying to make myself look like the good smart guy barely putting up with these insane rich women who never worked a day in their lives and are also ugly. After all, I can't be fired and there are no other conceivable consequences for my actions."

Am I just too much of a nice guy for still trying to help people when I get mistaken for an employee (to an extent, obviously, while still explaining I don't work there)? Or are these people just sociopaths waiting to happen?

My experience with the sort of people who angrily demand "Do you work here????" is that when you tell them no, they angrily walk away without a word because how dare you make them look foolish. They tend not to double down and insist you actually do, stop lying. They have at least that much self-awareness.

I'm sorry, lady, I was just marveling that this store sells frozen turducken, I wasn't purposely ignoring you. Relax.

I work in retail as a vendor, so in wal-marts I wear a big tag that says "vendor" on it.

You'd be surprised how often people double down. "I'm sorry, I don't work here" "THEN WHY ARE YOU WEARING A NAMETAG??" they say, likely not nearly as loudly as I remember it as the memory embellishes things.

But that's the end of it. Usually I can just explain that I'm a vendor, and sometimes I have to explain what vendors are if they've never heard of the concept somehow, but I've never had anyone try to get a manager over me or anything, and it's always a weird sub-set of people that get weirdly mad about me not working there, who don't even get to their original question. They usually lead off with "Do you work here" and only try to call me out after I say no. I help anyone who just asks "where's this thing" though if I know the answer.

Then there's a third subset of people who think my name is "Vendor" but they are the least common.

Is it bad that it was a Cockney accent in my mind? Probably because that story of a bat'leth being dropped into a British knife amnesty bin was the first thing to come to mind and it feels like that's the kind of place where someone would try to actually threaten a dude with a bat'leth, and where someone would actually be threatened by a bat'leth.

Articulate your needs. I'm here to listen.
Presumably he is trying to accurately transcribe the (made up) dialogue. I get that he could hear the difference between "gonna" and "going to" and "da" and "the".

But why is it sometimes "gently caress" and sometimes "fuk"? Are those pronounced differently?
