What ticks you off?

[Cassini90125]

I believe at one time or another I've mention an idiot by the name of Richard who lives in my neighborhood. He's the town perv and has a habit of not bathing regularly but that's another story. Earlier today I was told by someone who works at Walgreens that oftentimes when he's done shopping and decides to pay by check he will pull out his checkbook and a pen, drop both on the counter, and tell the cashier to fill it out for him. He usually gets away with it, too, because the register workers don't want to argue with him and just want him to go away. And of course there's management's position about the customer always being right or some such nonsense, so the cashiers really can't yell at him anyway. Unbelievable. Well, maybe the workers can't yell at him but I certainly can, and if he pulls this kind of asinine stunt while I'm around I fully intent to give him a piece of my mind. You want the merchandise, butthead? Then fill out the dang check yourself or go shop somewhere else. And buy some soap while your at it. Sheesh, enough is enough with this jerk.

Darn right, Cass! It sounds like those poor ladies could use a gentleman to stand up for them since management won't. You can be sure that that jerk's actions will catch up to him some day.

Any chance at visiting Seattle, Cass?

A guy went crazy on me today because he gave me a gift card that said it had $100 on it, and yet there was only $73. I asked him if he was sure the card hadn't been used on a prior purchase, he said "Of course I know I hadn't used it before, you think I'm stupid?", and wanted me to redeem it for the full $100. Well sir, if it indeed had $100 on it at one time, clearly it had been used before because there is only $73 on it now. If you want to be told when and where it had been used before, there's the 1-800 number on the back of the card. From here, there's nothing more I can do. Now please step aside so I can help other customers. He continued to rat me out, even though there's nothing I could have done about it whatsoever. There's only so much over riding of the system I can do, and there's no difference between redeeming a gift card for more than it's worth, and increasing the credit limit of someone's credit card. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO DUFUS! Now go away. You're causing a scene.

Cass, sometimes i wish assault wasn't a crime. Sounds like you do too

[Cassini90125]

Sometimes...

He was in Walgreens earlier, as was I, but he didn't stay very long or do anything other than smell. From what I'm told he spends less time in the store when he knows I'm there. I'm really not sure why that is; we have rarely spoken or interacted in any way since I first met him so it's not like he knows me or anything. But that being the case, the cashiers like for me to hang around the registers until he leaves, so that's what I do when he's prowling the isles.

LOL i did a similar favor for some girls in Video Broker. We stopped in after paintball to rent "Apocalypse Now" and JM (local creep/stalker) was standing outside the window staring at a couple of junior high girls. I walked out there and threatened him with violence and he left

[Cassini90125]

I haven't run into the perv in over a week now but I found out earlier that he managed to get himself banned from the local CVS. I don't know why but if I had to guess it was probably for saying something either filthy or racist. Did I mention that he's been known to make racist remarks? Well, he has. One restaurant in the area, long since closed, banned him five times for that crap and other offenses. Why they kept letting him come back is beyond me; I would have banned him once and not rescinded the order. Anyway, this means he'll be in Walgreens twice as often now, much to the dismay of the gang that works there. On the bright side, it increases the odds of me catching him behaving badly there, and that's when the real fun begins.

LOL

Cass is on the prowl. Hungry like the Wolf!

[Cassini90125]

Just standing up for my friends, dude.

"Anime is not a cartoon!"

Dude, If it's drawn and animated, It's a cartoon. It doesn't matter what ever country it's made in.

and just because it's made in Japan, doesn't mean it's superior.

*sigh* They're just different styles of animation. That's all, really.


Also, DS's tick me off!

I know that there are some people out there who simply have a problem with the word "cartoon" because they see it as having childish and unsophisticated connotations, hence why they prefer the term "animation", which enables them to comfortably disassociate whatever they're watching from the infanitle fodder which little kids snap up every Saturday morning. It all seems a bit ridiculous to me. There's nothing inherently wrong with cartoons, or with adult audiences being able to find enjoyment in them, and we're never going advance an iota closer toward elimating the prejudices which surround the form unless we learn to use the word with pride.

Incidentally, the word "cartoon" originates, I believe, from the Italian word cartone, denoting paper or cardboard, so traditionally it refers to any animation which is hand-drawn. Thus, there are some styles of animation which I definitely wouldn't think of as cartoons. Stop-motion animation and puppetry, for example. They're something else altogether. However, in an age where even most 2D animation, including Foster's, is created primarily through use of computers, it becomes a bit more difficult to classify. Can something like Finding Nemo be classed as a cartoon, for example? I don't know, but it's an interesting thought. Words always grow and develop fresh meanings, regardless of where they first originated.

Sorry for the English lesson.

[some guy you dont know]

A few things:

*The fact that my DS battery is dying, so I have to replace it when I most likely cant soon.

*My cold. Had it for a week, its getting better. But I have a real sore throat, which sucks.

*Many other things I dont feel like naming

At one time just to make people's eyes roll I said that the word "cartoon" was racist and that we should refer to them as "Animated Americans".
