Wow. Let me break this down.
Well, it's nice to know have firm grasp of what communists are, as well as use "faggot" as a throw away term.
It's nice that you have a firm grasp of what "sarcasm" is,
because y'know I obviously NEVER EVER exaggerate or impliment sarcasm in my topics, sweetie. Yes, I really do think that Blockbuster is run by commies and faggots
because using those words makes me look
like. totally. awesome!Well, apparently I remember you better than you remember me. You're Appleb****, the girl who takes everything seriously!
But you don't remember me too well. Don't take anything that I say seriously, because most of the time I'm not taking anything seriously to begin with. Most of this rant was highly exaggerated and twisted to express my frustration in a humorous way. No, I did not call the lady at the desk any names (but I certainly wanted to). Although I did toss the candy over the counter!
As for
faggot, in a modern context it is understood as a childish insult, not insinuating that someone really is homosexual. So don't panic, no homosexuals feelings were intentionally hurt during the making of this thread.
Not from what I remember. My family has rented from Blockbuster for as long as I can remember. I even went there one day with a friend: no membership, no ID, nothing, we rented a movie for a sleepover and returned it the next day. So apparently, no, not every Blockbuster required a membership. I do remember that you had to give them your phone number and address when renting a DVD, so that they can call and harrass you every day until you return their video.
It also doesn't help that you are taking my Blockbuster out of its environment: we live in a pretty well-off county, one of the most stable areas in my entire state. No one who lives here makes less than 200 grand a year. We hardly have poverty and crime, mostly just a lot of bored rich white kids doing every drug they can buy. No one here has a reason to steal a DVD rental.
Well, I wasn't really that hell-bent on getting those DVD's. If you can remember from the original post, my dad had sent me against my will to get them, so I was content with simply abandoning them and coming home empty-handed.
You weren't there to see how this lady "did her job". She was stand-offish and addresses my concerns with blunt answers. When I explained that I didn't have a membership card, she didn't even suggest that I sign up for one (which is "something you take care of when you sign up"
but apparently I was not worthy of that option). She simply put my DVD's to the side and gave me a look that said "get out". If she had "done her job", she wouldn't have had candy thrown at her.
also, a middle-aged woman is obviously not making minimum wage.
Of course it wasn't reasonable. But she was being unreasonable, so I replied unreasonably. Every action recieves an equal reaction. Oh, and I had a lot of pent-up anger from loosing my job a week ago
See, I knew you didn't read my post all that well.
Because if you had, you would have understood that I didn't want to watch those movies, and I don't eat candy, and my father expected his change back
And lucky you, you get tuition money from your parents. I just paid my way through college using nothing but my savings, because my parents felt that it was too heavy a burden
It's nice to see that you're raised in such and enlightened and understanding environment, it's also nice to see the mature people here supporting stupidity like it's a good quality to have.
It's also great to see that awesome people such as yourself, raised in such an enlightened and understanding environment, in which the internet is obviously pretty serious buisness and humorous rants in an online forum are A-OK to take out of context, yet are too scared to actually sign up for an account on the forum and reveal your identity to your adversary, are still alive and kickin' too. My life would be so boring without you!
Yes, because I was obviously not using 'communist' in a modern context at all, obviously.
Urban Dictionary: 2) (common) impotent jibe intended to put down a non-like-minded person. Insult had some impact during the Cold War-era, but so did Styx.
You silly commie ;D
No, of course I was not using it in a metaphorical sense, I was obviously insinuating that Blockbuster is a form of government.
Differentiate this:
My little outburst was my way of telling her to go f**k herself
Instead of asking me if I would like to sign up for a membership card to finish my purchase, she assumes that:
1) I am not 18 years old (even though I had
just shown her my liscense and I have in fact just turned 19), and..
2) I would somehow think "oh, well I just came here to dick around anyway, so no big deal!"
My bad, apparently I missed the signs in the store that said "membership required for rentals". (Pssst...THERE ARE NONE!
)
And as I mentioned earlier to Appleb****, I have rented from that Blockbuster previously this year during a sleep-over, and I rented my DVD without a membership card, all they asked for was my address and phone number. As far as I can remember, I didn't conform to anything. Unless it is typical to throw candy at a cashier when they treat you like s***. But I've never heard that one before, so I'll take that as a no.
Baaaaaaaawwwww.
Actually, that George Carlin quote is from his 1988 stand-up "What am I Doing in New Jersey?", when he is ranting about stupid drivers and road ettiquete, and it has been my favorite quote of his for quite some time. He was an excellent commedian, and since this entire rant was mostly a sarcastic, humorous way of expressing my anger, I felt it appropriate to use a Carlin quote, since most of his stand-ups following his wife's death were just that.
Learn not to assume like an ignorant child
P.S., Jesus loves me.
