It is 7 am in the morning and you come in my shop,order a 1€ espresso and try to pay with a 200€ bill eventhough i clearly saw a 10€ bill in ther,because you are to lazy to wait till 9 till the banks are open?
Then he gives me the stinkeye for not accepting it and demands to see my supervisor who just tells him the same thing I did.We only take bills up to 100€ (we have a sign up on the register).Then he wants to have the espresso for free,cuz he can pay but we wont accept his cash.

Sounds like a counterfeit operation if ever there was one.
I once had a guy come in at 11:55 when we closed at midnight, wanting to buy our entire stock of Nintendo DS on a credit card, I told him I had to call the credit card company for authorization (store policy for credit card purchases over $200, and this one was extra fishy to boot). Guy refused, got all pissy and said he'd call the manager the next day. Gave him my name and the manager's schedule but I couldn't call the credit card company about it, even though it was the most obvious credit card fraud ever.

Eh, it wasn't that bad. I wasn't really doing either, just had to hold off the gutty feeling every 20 minutes or so. It actually went pretty well. She's a fellow fight fan so we ended up going to a sports bar after dinner and watching the UFC so it was easier to hide.

Ha ha ha, that's awesome. No, we're both taking it easy after how we initially met (see drunk thread) so I knew it wouldn't end up at her place.

The holiday... it just won't come. Thanksgiving holiday felt like a simple-carb-fueled hallucination, and I just need more than a week away. Man, I wish we didn't have any school next week. This pageant bullcrap is my least favorite thing about elementary school. Does anyone really enjoy this? Do the parents enjoy this, really? Can't we just take off another extra 3 days?! It's like I'm not even getting to teach because we're so wrapped up in doing Christmas-related stuff. And then we wasted an entire day of school at this God-awful play at a church where they shoe-horned in this terrible Christian message: Do nothing to try and solve your easy-to fix problem and God will provide. Two hours of bad French accents and my kids poking my arm asking when it would end. Who subjects a child to a 2-hour play that's over their head when we could be spending that time improving their writing and arithmetic, which we desperately need to do right now.

Augh, either let me spend my time teaching or give me a break! I'm such a grouch. Too much of this extra stuff just chaps my ass.

I want a ball pit. Balls are cheap, but not cheap enough. Today there's a sale on balls:

http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/94d58e91-ae52-47c9-a987-4498b0adb02e/100-balls-in-a-mesh-net-bag

But even then, a tiny (one adult or 2 kids) ball pit would require 10 of those bags. A good size ball pit for adults would require 20+ of those bags.

Not only am I unable to justify the cost, but we don't really have the room to have it as a permanent fixture in the home, nor the room to store the balls when not in use if we make it a temporary (once in awhile or special occasion) toy.

Plus I have no idea how I'd wash my balls once I got 'em, and I've heard that balls get pretty rank when used frequently and not properly tended to.

tldr;

Can I interest you in 5x as many balls for the same price?

My grandma is a goddamn lunatic. My uncle is finally telling her she needs to go to an assisted living place. I think she needs to be committed... but in a time machine, she needs to be committed back in the 1950s. Yes I know that sounds mean but this woman is just cruel and insufferable.

And she is mean to my cousins. My little 7 year old cousin! I mean what is wrong with her? Poor kid. I remember being a kid and her weirdness and mind games and how she takes enjoyment at hurting everyone in her life. I know that she is unable to love I get that and I am really sad for her really really but how much more are we as a family supposed to take? She calls my uncle's wife a whore in front of the kids. I am glad my uncle is finally stepping in and defending his wife.

I guess I am just tired of it all. I know my mom is and every time my aunt calls about grandma it reminds my mom of her miserable childhood and she cries to me about it. Not fun having to comfort my crying mother because her mother is an evil bitch. My uncle is finally talking about getting some counseling himself after all this stuff. I hope he finds someone who can he really let it all out too.

I'm currently fighting the worst bout of the flu I've ever experienced. I feel like I got thrown into a wood chipper. I've damn near turned myself inside out getting sick. I just want to be able to keep something down for more than an hour. Blech.

Obviously cant help you keeping things down but if you are sick for a while pedialyte mixed with soda like sprite is pretty tasty and helps with dehydration.

If you delight in causing physical pain and suffering, want to get paid for indulging in your fiendish desires, and have it all be completely legal, consider a career in dentistry.

I had a dentist appointment today for calculus treatment. There was pain, and there was blood. Seriously though, I guess it was my own damn fault for neglecting regular visits to the dentist, and apparently my smoking habit really doesn't help matters. And reading up on dental calculus on wikipedia, I suppose I should be glad to have it treated at this stage. I guess they did a good job at minimising my level of discomfort, but still... ouch.

Take care of your teeth, people.

Quite frankly, my teeth kind of look like Clyde's from Any Which Way But Loose, which is why one of the first things I'm doing when I have a good dental plan is getting veneers (or perhaps at this point partials).

So, yeah, caring about dental issues came too late for me and I can't stress enough how important people should take their oral health.

agreed, I did not take care of my teeth in high school while I had braces. the 15000 dollars of dental work sucked to save them.

On Wednesday. We were supposed to get off at noon but the parents decided to throw us a party... which is very very nice, but I just wanted to go home, honestly. If they're grateful, they can refrain from eating up my vacation. I know, "wah wah, the moms want to give us free food." But man, I'm just so tired. And it's going to be at some fancy home, which means they cancelled jean day on the last day before the holiday... so we could look nice for the party that's supposed to help us relax. Bah, I don't know.

I'm not gonna get after you. I totally understand not wanting to have your free time eaten up by extra time from your job, even if it's "fun" time.

Yeah... pretty much. I'd rather be with my family. I'll have fun when I get there, I know, and it's just a couple of hours. And really, it's not every group of parents that would go to that kind of trouble.

What a fucking day...

Book's been out of commission on Amazon for most of the day.
Shitty cases at work.
My wife finds out she has no job again.
Temp work for her keeps getting bounced back thanks to some email shit.
Bills.
And then beneath our faucet starts spraying and leaking a little after midnight.

Thankfully the apartment maintenance guy was able to come right away despite it being the middle of the night (I felt bad). He also found out someone had shut off our hot water in the basement (likely the goddamn kids who play down there). He put a lock on the door.

I can't wait to go to work in 5 hours or so, then come home and clean up rat shit.

...eh, I can't be mad at those little guys. Shitting is one of only five things they know how to do, so it's not their fault for making use of their talents.

Yeah, having rats alone is enough to not post here.
