Current mood: cynical
Current music:Some crappy rock station playing some crap. Yeah

So yesterday, there was this retarded kid with this fucked up sounding voice feigning broken body parts so he could use the store lark.

**EDIT:
Before you get on my ass about me being bigoted, I'm not. When it comes to retarded people (when they are indeed retarded) I don't hate them, in fact, I love them. I think they are cute, and totally innocent. I love them. But when a kid like this is telling you he is having a broken leg when he obviously doesn't one moment, and then he comes in again and tells you he has a broken elbow, when once again it is obious he doesn't, the he is obviously RETARDED.

Real retarded people are not retarded to me. In fact, they get the label, 'special', because in my eyes, they are.


I hate that damned thing. The Lark symbolizes all that is lazy to me, as the only people that use it are those damn retarded kids and fat people who don't feel like walking. If you don't feel like walking, the don't shop, period.

**Edit, pt 2:
As for fat people, I don't care about fat people normally. Hell, I'm fat.

But when you whine about it, complain that there is not enough Larks to go around so we can hear every damn reverse you make because it resinates within the store and you must get your whiney, lumpy fat ass to Lark it over to the battery display that is at the entrance, YOU DO NOT DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT. You deserve to be hated upon.

I consider myself a behaviorist. If your attitude sucks, or you just are plain retarded (and -not- of special behaviors), then I won't hesitate to hate.

Simple as that.


Anyway, I was feeling particularly spiteful, so I let the little bastard with a speach impediment use the damned thing to piss off my manager. The little fuckbasket ran around the store in reverse no less, making it that much more enjoyable (even if it was annoying).

Everyone was laughing horribly, not only that people are so retarded it hurts, but also because of the fact that people should not be allowed to breed if they spawn crap like that.

Bill (my manager) eventually caught on to this little fucktard, and yelled at him. It was truly delightful.

Just some Office Depot fun while working during Hurricane Frances.

Yes, we're open during a hurricane.

You've gotta love it.

Edit, pt 3:
And for all you haters, SHUT UP. You're all hating if you post up in here. So back off.

To quote someone whom I used tow ork with in retail:

"If you were to ask me to show you someone who hated and wanted to destroy the whole world, I would show you someone that worked in retail."

Is that supposed to make it okay?

It's one thing to bitch because a customer is being an asshole. It's another matter to ridicule someone who can't help what they are. Your "equal opportunity" hating is cruel, poisonous and immature.

I read things differently. That kid sounded like somebody that was perfectly able to get around without the Lark, but wanted to go zoom-zoomy. As for the fat people remark...remove the bit about them being fat, and we have the whiny, self-entitled customer that everybody else rants about.

There was a way to tell this story without being offensive, you know. Describe the kid as an idiot; he sounds like one. As for the Lark, I know people who genuinely need it--like a friend of mine with MS who is *not* lazy, but needs a little extra help. Generalizations make you sound bigoted.

Here's hoping you find a better way to express yourself before your attitude gets you into real trouble.

"Idiot" is exactly the same as "retarded". Both began as medical classifications and passed into slang terms for people acting stupidly. Taking offence.. meh, it's pointless.

Don't forget that stupid is/once was a medical term.

So, I have someone on mr friends list that received a teddy bear from his boyfriend or something, not entirely sure.

He got really mad at this boyfriend, I guess, and ripped the head off, impaling a knife where it once was, and then too a picture of it.

I took the opportunity to make an icon out of it. He loved it.

Oh, and the friend's journal name?

doubleplusgood.

It was perfect.

Even a good "behaviorist" has to spout off once in a while.

As far as the whole labeling issue, I propose that for informal ranting, we reserve the word "retard" for someone who is genuinely mentally impaired, and thus worthy of special consideration. The alternate spelling "REtard" (pronounced "REEEEE-tard) could be used to differentiate someone who behaves stupidly and is not worthy of anything much more special than a good kick in the ass.

During my cancer treatment I was often too tired to walk very far. There were time when I would make use of mobility aids like the Lark.

So bite my tumorous ass, loser. You are not the judge of the world.

As a son of a deceased woman who once had cancer (and died of I might add), I have no problems with people using the Lark for reasons like that. If it is used properly, I don't care. They need more than that whiney fucktard that thinks they deserve it because someone who really does need it is using it at that moment.

Don't put words into my mouth about people who do indeed need to use it.

I am absolutely tired of bitched whining and complaining about not being able to use it when it is obvious when they don't really need it. I know what it is like to be around people with cancer (because there are kinds you can tell and cannot, my stepfather had skin cancer, and my father kidney cancer which required no chemotherapy, knock on wood).

So shut the fuck up. How dare you tell me how to react with the damned lark. I would rather give the damned thing to the old lady with the oxygen tank and bald head who is shuffling along with her walker obviously needing assistance than the whiney fat bastard who only wants to use it for getting to the batteries which are right there by the damned thing.

Priorities, get over it.

Motorized carts that supermarkets and such have for the disabled to shop in. They generally have a basket on the front for that purpose.

We don't call them larks, but for the record, my mother is one of those fat lazy people who shouldn't be using them. And when I say shouldn't, I mean, she has type 2 diabetes and needs to make sure she doesn't lose her mobility completely. She used them for a long time before she needed to, and it got to the point where her legs were weak and she sprained her knee from a short walk and really had to use it for a good while...

And she still uses them. I don't know whether to smack her when she gets that cart or not. Eventually she's going to be in a motorized wheelchair with nothing I can do about it. Drives me crazy.

So when I see a fat person using those motorized carts, I'm reminded of my mother. I half want to take it away from them so they'll get the exercise of walking around the store, but it's not my place, and I don't know for sure that they don't have some other ailment...

Sorry, that was way to much of a response. I mean to say, simmer down, yall. Not everything is a personal attack.

Oooh, that quote about people working in retail....so true. After working in retail for awhile, I HATED everyone who stepped through the door.

For the record, I saw nothing wrong with your descriptions in your post.

Meh. It seems these days some people are willing to label anyone who has a different opinion as a troll.

I'm going to add you to my friends list, if that's okay. If it's not (because you have no compassion and hate everyone - hee) then let me know and I will remove you.
