Or when your expected to compound the mistake by honoring the quote the last guy got completely wrong.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Oh, I'm in the habit of checking things myself and not trusting people's word on stuff that can bite me in the ass. It's happened before and I refuse to let it happen again.
A little trust goes a long way.The less you have the further you go.
A lot of the time I don't have that luxury. More often the guest gets a ridiculously low rate quote from the previous shift over the phone, and throws a fit when I don't offer the same rate.
The moment, and I do mean the MOMENT a replacement can be hired, that dude (and probably his buddy too) will be out on his ass.

Honestly it's become too much to add more stuff to my hoard. It all comes down the pipe so fast and is hosted in so many places already that it feels like I'm trying to hoard water coming out of a fire hose.
Yes, but it's been saved for future generations to learn from in the Hall of Shame.
I suppose I can bring this into the whine thread now:
I really wish I hadn't failed that little rat. I had six chances to do differently that could've saved him, and I wish I'd just chosen differently on ONE of those. He was such a happy little guy. I wanted him to get bigger so he could learn to be a shoulder rat and not just a thigh rat (if I wore jeans, he could cling to the side for short distances like a monkey). I wanted him to overcome his fear of the carpet. It was also nice that one of our rats was exhausted from playing, so much that he wasn't pawing at the bars for attention. That one's brothers are boring lumps who won't play with him, and now that his playmate is gone, he's back to annoying them and pawing at the bars. We take him out extra, like we used to, but you can tell he's not content; he wants another rat to play with. Maybe in June when our finances recover from the cost of surgery to the dead one, we'll look and see if there are any little ones that fit the personality we're looking for.

It got relived tonight, so thanks for the present Halforums. It really cheered me up. It killed the Random Crap thread though sadly.
I think the drama's largely passed.I went to post something in the random crap thread but found all the drama going on and was like "da fuq?" and now I don't wanna post in there
The new one's safe.I went to post something in the random crap thread but found all the drama going on and was like "da fuq?" and now I don't wanna post in there

Oh entendre, you're so double.
Some of the most largely ridiculous drama ever, which is probably why I find it so funny.
Apparently not.

I never have any gif or pic locked and loaded. I'm just good.
There is no more fruit in my house. But..but...I'm craving fruit. Noooo!
Coincidentally, I just bought a mixed bag of oranges and apples. Just had one of each.

So many quasi-racist jokes and/or Iron Man references, so little time.
May you receive no perishables as gifts this year.
90% certainty that my gift will be hand made Toronto Maple Leafs paraphernalia delivered with a sense of love and mocking.
