(I was working in the seasonal section of a large bulk retail chain. It was Christmas time and we sold large sets of decorative houses with lights in them.)
Customer: “Hi, I would like to purchase one of these…” *points to a house set* “…but there aren’t anymore underneath it. Where are the others stored?”"
(I use my price gun to check the quantities of said item.)
Me: “I’m sorry, it appears we are sold out.”
Customer: “Oh, well then I’ll just take this one.” *points to the display unit*
Me: “Oh, that’s just a display unit. That one isn’t for sale.”
Customer: “Why not?”
Me: “Well, this is one of those specific items that we are given a temporary display unit from the vendor that we have to send back at the end of the season.”
Customer: “So why can’t I buy it?”
Me: “Well, it’s not ours to sell. It is rented from the people who made the set.”
Customer: “I don’t understand why I can’t buy it!”
Me: “It does not belong to us. We cannot sell what does not belong to us.”
Customer: “Why not?”
Me: “…what kind of car do you drive?”
Customer: “A 2000 Focus, why?”
Me, to a passing customer: “Sir, would you like to buy a 2000 Focus?”
Customer: “What are you doing?”
Me: “Selling your car.”
Customer: “Why? It’s MY car!”
Me: “Well, I didn’t think ownership made a difference to you.”
(She then stormed off to talk to a manager who told her I would be taken care of. He then proceeded to buy me a piece of pizza for making his day.)

Dear movies that are going to show teaching:
You can’t show a classroom where the teacher is talking about finishing a warm up, you should at least have them with paper on their desks.
Also, teachers aren’t going to have a class with only like 6-7 kids in it. It just doesn’t happen.

Rambling about Derpy again.
As I mentioned in the last post I rambled, Derpy to the majority of us has evolved to mean a klutzy, brain-fart moment.
But that doesn’t change that one of the meanings is the word “retarded.”
It’s not a large part of the word, but when “derp” and “herp a derp” started being used on the internet, it was as a synonym for the word retarded or gay. As...

Email between one of the infamous "Derpy" writers...
Whew, this controversy has been overwhelming and exhausting! I actually had no idea that fans were really upset about the “Derpy Change” until your email. And I didn’t actually know about the change until I got an email last week from a fan telling me about it! Let me try and put some rumors at rest and calm the fans. And to do that, let’s go back to the beginning. ...

mistynelson replied to your photo: My brand new Pinkie Pie. So glad our Toys R Us…
Hey! That’s the same Pinkie I have! Cool!
I’ve been looking ever since you told me they exist and I found them online! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity :D
I’m going to sleep with her and use her to feel brave when I’m lonely or upset at night.

I’m in a “dystopian novel” mood so I’m trying to figure out what I would write for a dystopian novel. I’m keeping a notebook and everything. But my ideas keep changing based on what I read.
When I was reading Matched, it was more the idea of lacking individuality and choice. But I really wanted to tie that into what I see happening in our society now, with this...

Submitted by K.: “I have no idea if this is real or not, but it was real enough for a college friend to get outraged about it.”

I looked this up, and here’s what happened: Australians ethicists suggested that, since we allow abortions even when the fetus’ health is not in danger, we should also allow infanticide. Here’s the abstract of their paper:

I hope Rick Santorum is driving on the highway and the cars in both lanes ahead of him are driving at the exact same speed and refuse to pass one another.
And going under the speed limit. Significantly. Like 10 miles below the speed limit. And he has an appointment somewhere. And is running late already.

justnithya:
A quick run-down should you ever find yourself trapped in a horror movie and would prefer to live to tell the tale.
1. Don’t have sex.
Seriously
Abstinence is key.
2. Don’t go out with people you’ve just met that day.
I don’t care how good he says his weed is
he is cuckoo bananas
and he wants you dead.
3. Don’t go to camp. Especially one where someone was murdered.
