GM's thread about nothing (54 Viewers)

Uruk-Hai said:
Well, I've had an interesting morning. Got punched in the head at the grocery store.

A little background: I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, which is basically the heart of Appalachia. It's not the most diverse area of the country. There's a young woman who works at the local Food Lion who's from Iran. I know this because she has the same name as someone I knew back in MD and I asked. She speaks better English than I do, thought she does have a bit of an accent.

Anyway, I'm in line this morning behind a young guy who's all-too-typical over here. He's buying beer and - I found out later - was already drunk off his ###. For whatever reason, the scanner wouldn't check in his purchase. Before the young lady could punch in the code, he says: "come on you ####### dot head!".

(aside: most of the dialogue I'm gonna relate here is not gonna be exact, but close enough and no embellishments)

For whatever reason besides not having patience with those who hate just because, I decided to chip in my couple of shillings.

"There are so many things wrong with your statement that I don't know where to begin. First, by 'dot head' I'm assuming you mean Arab because there aren't all that many Hindu terrorists flying planes into US buildings. Second, she's not Arab - she's Persian, which means she's Caucasian just like your inbred ###".

(I was getting wound up at this point, but could hear my voice shaking; think I was terrified and righteously angry at the same time)

"Third, she's working and you're not ( I have no idea if he was or not). Fourth, betcha you have an EBT card in your pocket and are leeching off the rest of us".

(I said "EBT" but don't know if that's the right term - Food Stamp Credit Card)

"Lastly (and here's what caused him to swing at me, I think), your eyes are set far enough apart that ignorance is all anyone should ever expect from you. Please don't breed, you #### simple mother####er."

That's when he swung. I'm guessing it was because he was drunk - certainly it wasn't my evasive skills as I didn't/couldn't even move - that he hit the side of my head instead of my face. Next thing I know, I'm on the floor shaking my head and he's held by a couple of guys from kicking me.

Someone helped me up and I started to get really mad. You ever got so mad that phrase "I saw red" makes perfect sense? The only thing I could think was to choke that ####er to death - not to punch him or spit at him, but to get my hands around his throat and kill him. I'm guessing whoever was holding me didn't want that to happen.

I'm a little iffy on the passage of time and some of the events that happened after he hit me, but next thing I recall is talking to a Sherriff's deputy. I declined medical attention, but told him I'd press charges. Turns out the dude had warrants, so I recanted on charges as he's got plenty to answer for. Thinking about it now, I should've piled on but I remember the deputy telling me the guy was in big trouble.

Anyway - home and listening to Kasey's Top 40 from this date in 1976.

How's the draft going?

Love you GB. Yet another reason why you're awesome :thumbup:

 
Thanks, but - no false modesty here - I was both stupid & petrified. My voice, to my ears, sounded like a 6 year-olds'. I pushed this guy to hit me and it could've gone really bad. I'm still shaking. That girl was in no danger, really. I'm just tired of people being mean to each other without reason. Also - and this gives me a bit of pleasure - Redneck Boy thought he may have hit a cop (those of you that have met me will understand based on how I look) and I don't think the Sherriff's Deputy let him think any different even as I declined to press charges.

STINKY FINGERS: JASON AVANT WR EAGLES

Avant is one of the only Philly WRs who is not hurt or racist. Also, Avant will likely get genital HPV like 80% of the other sexually active players in this draft. Having genital HPV should be viewed as a normal and expected fact of human sexuality.

:thumbup: Also, Zooks, I have some bad news. Mrs. SLB is very disappointed (like wanting to vomit and stuff) about your diseased %^&*@!. She isn't happy that you would be plugging the type of woman that would give this to you. To quote Mrs. SLB "that thing isn't getting anywhere near me". She also said that just because you have it removed, you'll still have the virus forever and will be passing it along. Sorry GB.

DEAR HOT MRS SLB:

The following is from a random medical message board from the internet so it must be true:

"Everybody gets genital HPV (at least 80% of all sexually active people) and most of us probably have several infections during our sexually active years. Having genital HPV should be viewed as a normal and expected fact of human sexuality."

Now Pepper, I hope you re-consider possibly having passionate/awkward sexy times with me after your husband dies in some bazaar manner (I've always felt SLB will die from a squirrel attack while on a nature walk) And if you do re-consider, you might want to prepare for yourself for sex with a man who does not have a penis the size of an elephant's trunk. My motto is "quality not quanity".

Your hopefully future lover,

Gadzooks

ps: I love you SLB

Yeah, I've heard great stuff about it. I mean, can you really go wrong with a 5 story children's museum?

My patience usually wears out after about 90 minutes, so hopefully this is sufficiently exciting that I'm amused as well.

Oh and I've never done the COSI thing - her mom is taking her there sometime in the next month though I think. I've heard great stuff about that as well. I'll report back on what she thinks of both

Moving from TMobile to Sprint. Is that like switching from Decaf to Sanka?

Anyhow, Kellen found us a deal online where my wife and I will be getting brand new LG Optimus G phones for free if we sign a 2 year contract with 'em. I like free. Monthly pricing is the same as Tmobile. Unlimited everything. I know it ain't an iPhone, but I'm moving up from a Blackberry. This has to be an upgrade.

Searching for a new phone myself right now. Would love the Galaxy S4 Active but I'm not dropping six fitty on a phone.

Thanks to Cos, we switch Mrs. SLB to smart talk and it's only $49 a month unlimited everything. This phone had some decent ratings and is cheap if you're not too picky.

2 free phones down? I just got out of a contract with Tmobile. I don't recall a single day of my life that it ever once even remotely bothered or concerned me. :shrug: But I'm not a techie or a gizmo guy. I'd be fine with my blackberry for life if the battery life didn't suck so much and kids weren't mocking me.

Something is wrong with me. I can't get fully awake today. For the last four hours, I have slipped in and out of consciousness in my chair. Of course, if I had something besides soccer and Little League baseball on my TV, it might help.

 
We've been with AT&T for I don't know how long. I really don't know how competitive their prices/plans are but their policies and customer service has been awesome.

A few years ago my kid broke his phone. The wife calls AT&T since she was pretty sure we had insurance on it. Turns out the kid's phone wasn't insured but her's was. The customer service type person said "that's strange...not sure why you would insure your phone and not your son's. That could have been our mistake. I'll just switch it over." Kid got a new phone and it only cost us something like $30.

Another time my wife needed an Air Card (I guess that's what it's called) for her laptop. She was going only going to need it for a about a week while she traveled on business. The guy at the AT&T store told her to buy one, use it, and then return it. Basically all she would pay a $15 restocking fee in the long run. And that's exactly what she did.

But somehow the wife failed to cancel the data/service thing for the Air Card and didn't notice it for about 4 months. I don't remember how much it was a month but it wasn't cheap. She called AT&T again and they checked to see if she had used the data/service in the last 4 months. Ended up giving us a full refund for the charges.

:shrug:
