People. People annoy me.

>.<
Some major shit going on in another community I'm in. People never cease to disappoint me with the name-calling, the us vs. them, the accusations flying. I've been there two years, seen a lot of major fights. I've never seen this much of a divide between the two "factions".

Trigger warning about rape ahead:

When people make victim-blaming or slut-shaming rape 'jokes' then proceed to act completely baffled when people get mad at them for it. Then they get mad when it's explained why victim blaming or slut-shaming rape 'jokes' are considered offensive and stop listening to you.

This, this in spades.

The store where I work has a clearance section that sells brand-new but out-of-season clothes for as little as 1/50 their original price. I shit you not. A woman today bought $30 jeans for $0.23 and I have a few $25 skirts that were reduced to $0.47 apiece. On top of that, every now and then we'll offer a FURTHER discount (at the moment it's 50% off the already massively reduced prices) so it's possible to buy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff for $20 or less.

Despite this, there are a bunch of EXTREMELY CHEAP people who habitually come shopping but refuse to take anything that costs more than a certain amount--some of them will go as high as $10 for one item, depending on what it is, but most won't go more than $3 an item. Plus, they always have a veritable MOUNTAIN of stuff that, when piled on my counter, goes over my head. Having to repeat, "The price is X, would you like to keep it?" for every item I scan makes the whole business take three times as long and leaves me with a huge mess of clothes I have to hang back up. All of them are rude and will argue about a disparity of a few pennies.

I get that money is tight because the economy is shit--trust me, I KNOW. I live in it. But they're never saving more than a few dollars at a time. It's all just FUCKING ANNOYING to the point where, when one of these customers walks in, I will develop a sudden debilitating illness so I have an excuse not to deal with them.

*hiss* INCOME TAXESSSSSS.

Okay, so I'm trying to get a wee bit of a head start, and H&R Block and TurboTax both have free federal filing, so I tried both of them out. H&r Block says I'll get about $800 (SWEET) while TurboTax says I not only get NOTHING, I owe the state $109. Also, I'm "too young" for Earned Income Credit because I had the audacity to NOT be born in or prior to 1987.

Did I mention that my income is $8,000 a year?

*hisses at the IRS* Fuuuuuuuuck yooooooooou.

From international relations to religious rivalries, from marriage to athlete's foot, whatever the problem a fundy's first solution is usually violence.

Bunny bites when I'm supposed to be working on something else.

Yes, I feel you nibbling at my ankles, plot, but I really need to finish this one before I start working on something else.

Double standards.
Let me make it real easy... if anyone is interested in my actual opinion, please ask, I'd love to talk to you. If you are interested in trying to catch me out in some sort of "gotcha, before you said 'many', but now you're saying 'lots', you totally shifted goal posts", then, I'm not playing.

Retail made me realize long ago how stupid some people really are.  I know exactly how you feel.

I never, ever want to work retail again. Christ, what a horrible experience. The customers suck, the bosses suck, the co-workers suck and the wages suck. I'm really not sure how I even had the patience to deal with the shit jobs I worked as a teenager.

Really makes me appreciate just how easy-going my current job is.

I think like any type of job it depends on where you work.  I'm a retail manager and I actually enjoy my boss and my coworkers.  Annoying customers are gonna be there no matter where you go though unfortunately.

I just found out that JesuOtaku insinuated that homosexuals are all promiscuous, that homosexuality is a lifestyle and a culture that promotes promiscuity, that she was soooo scared to voice her (idiotic) opinion because even though she's demonstrated that she holds negative views of queers, her concerns are legitimate and queers just don't want to hear it, and that none of her "gay friends" have accused her of being a bigot.

Fuck you, JO. You and your boyfriend, whose labeling of transwomen as men had already pissed me off, demonstrate some of the shittiest attitudes available south of the Mason-Dixon line.
