    It also must have been tiring dealing with all the douche-bags who lack common sense and get pissed off. I worked retail at a toy store one summer back when I was in high school and we had a 200 page Word document entitled "People Who Shouldn't Breed." 200 pages filled with descriptions of moronic customers. One guy asked me if you were required to purchase Monopoly money separately. I told him, "No, the Monopoly money is included with the board game." So his response was, "What about batteries? Does it run on any?" When I told him it didn't, he got pissed and said if he got home and found the game needed batteries when I told him not to get any, he was going to report me. So he bought batteries anyway, just to be safe, despite my frequent assurances. What a douche-bag.

        How stupid can someone be to not know that Monopoly is a board game

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              That's not what I meant.

              Like, people would come in and just start talking about games that I've never played. And people would ask if I played WoW and I'd say no and then listen to them tell me why I should play it.

              God, I hated that job.

                Did anyone mention poopsocks? It's something I've heard on the internet and I need to know if it is real.

                    working only 4 days a week because a bunch of idiots thought it would be a good idea to go on strike. They don't realize they are effecting other people than themselves. I say FU to unions.

                      My mom refusing to co-sign my student loans for Bowling Green and in turn screwing me over grinds my gears.

                      2 years later, still not having a job grinds my gears.

                      Losing your virginity on a one night stand is beginning to grind my gears.

                      That is all.

                            Go buy a mower and find some old folks. That's instant cash quick.

                              Tried that when I was like 10. People suck around here.

                              I figure it'll be easier once I turn 18.

                                The older you get the tougher it'll be to find jobs, employers want people with experience and references for the most part. Unless you know someone.
