Things that piss you off

[Celes Chere]

So, sitting at the table for dinner. I ask my Dad a question about six different times. I know he can hear me, and he's not having a conversation. I get no answer. My half sis asks and he answers immediately.

Myeh... it annoys me when people ignore me, not just him.

Monday nights are the fucking pits.

• Some bitch customer came in and insisted on returning an over $200 purchase that was almost a month old. We usually only take returns fourteen days old. Whatever. After I rang up the return she stood there staring at her receipt for at least forty-five seconds completely oblivious to the fact that people were waiting behind her increasingly impatiently. When I informed her of this fact politely she completely flew off the handle, demanded to see a manager and proceeded to lie her ass off about what I actually said to her. I hope she never fucking comes back.
  
  
• You would think folding maps would not be rocket science. I mean, you just unfolded the fucking thing. Yet, it never, ever fails that I always find at least one map in there that is folded completely wrong every time I have to shelve new ones.
  
  
• Speaking of maps, these fucking publishers that waste shrink wrap by wrapping shipments of multiple copies of the same map in shrink wrap. Is this shit really necessary? It just makes it inconvenient for the people who are shelving them.
  
  
• Being told that there will be a light shelving day, given a bunch of interruptions, then having there turn out to be well over twenty shelves worth of stuff. I had less than three hours' time I was actually shelving and got nineteen and a half done, meaning there were at least five shelves' worth of material that didn't get done.
  
  
• Science fiction/fantasy, role-playing games, and graphic novels are a fucking disaster. For some absolutely fucking batshit absurd reason the management decided to take out a couple of bays from the section and ever since then, there has never, ever been enough room to shelve either section. I warned them even before they did this that this would be the direct result of removing bays, but to no avail. We have attempted to zone the section and almost nothing actually came out when we did so. As a result there is a rather substantial amount of merchandise wasting space on the shelving cart.
  
  
• It appears that the way returns are being handled is now even more retarded than it used to be. New fiction titles are brought out onto the new fiction table for approximately two months. After that point, they are sending them all back, regardless of whether they are even selling or not. This means that if you want to purchase one of these titles, you will have to order them. This will contribute even further to the problem established authors have with selling their work, because the number of titles purchased from a given author is based on the number of their previous title sold. In other words, it is basically impossible for an author to sell as many titles as their previous book, because it is inevitable that a given percentage of a certain novel that is ordered will not sell. In short, unless you are fortunate enough to have a major television series made of your work or some other factor that vastly increases the hype for your works, you will pretty much see sales decline with every new title, regardless of how good they are or not.

Night wasn't completely bad; I did encounter a rare non-asshole customer who asked how I was doing and genuinely seemed to care. I couldn't stay and talk to her for nearly as long as I wanted though. That said, Monday nights still fucking suck.

dude

that sucks. hope she ends up being okay

 

[Bex]

sucks man

how easily 'a couple of drinks' turns into LETS? GET FUCKING SMASHED
and so i woke up with the worst hangover ever.
at least i didn't vom

although i am fully aware i said some cripplingly embarrassing things

 

[Arianna]

Actually, I get angry when people call me on stuff, because I don't want to be so easily read, most of the time. I have to admit, I'm pretty sensitive and emotional, so that's usually not something I mind people reading so much.

On the same note, I hate it when people think they can read me, do so, and then start calling me all sort of names (some insults, some not) as if they really do know me. Of course, in this second scenario, they are incorrect.

My dog may or may not survive the next few hours, and theres jack shit I can do to improve her chances anymore than I already have. I hate this, I really do.

Please let us know what happens.

My vet had to put her own dog down last Tuesday; poor thing has been very ill (kidney failure, if I recall correctly) for a good while.

*hugs*

I woke up with a bug on my neck.... I freaked out and grabbed whatever it was and threw it at the wall. DX I heard it hit the wall and idk I'm paranoid to go back to sleep now. ;n;

Oh. It wasn't adorable?

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Barely any of my friends from back home talk to me since I joined the military. Not like, they're standoffish, but they certainly don't reach out or say 'what's up how's your MAJOR LIFESTYLE CHANGE going?' I'll see them on leave (because I don't think they have quite the balls to avoid me entirely, that is, if they're doing it on purpose), but still, man.

What'd I do?

 

[Madame Mayor]

Became responsible? Sometimes people don't like that.

 

[Lord Noctis]

Well, my dog passed away earlier this morning. Gonna go bury her in a little while out at Grandma's. She was a good girl. Went out fighting every step of the way. Whole family was with her at the end, so I hope she didn't feel alone.

 

[Dana Scully]

Damn, Noctis, really sorry to hear that. Hugs to all your family.

 

[Tifabelle]

Aw, Noct I'm sorry, bb. It's a very difficult thing to go through.

 

[Madame Mayor]

Animals have different ways of sensing things. They can sense when we're happy or sad or feelings of love and affection towards them. I'm sure she was very happy to have her family and knew she wasn't alone.

 

[Joe]

I'm sorry for your loss Noctis. Animals can be as close to us as other people. Hope you're okay.

 

[Celes Chere]

Oh. It wasn't adorable?

Um...no.

*hugs Noctis* Losing pets is of course, hard. I am so sorry for your loss.

That's so incredibly morbid.

"It's certainly ancient, and it's certainly the head of somebody." Lovely sentiment.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT THIS. I mean, I'm Catholic, and even if this was a confirmed head of a saint, I WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE'S HEAD IN MY HOUSE.

Also, I was unaware that there is a patron saint of genital disease. God they have a saint for everything, don't they?

 

[Madame Mayor]

Apparently your prayers are answered quicker if you have a body part close by.

Our religion is so awesomely fucked up sometimes I really love shit like this and that's not being sarcastic.

 

[Max Payne]

I worked out to failure last night, and I didn't get enough sleep so I am fucking wrecked today

It's pretty lame seeing it in action though, assuming that's what it is. I mean, maybe they feel I'm not approachable?
