Did she blow her nose directly into her hand without a kleenex? If not, what's the big deal? Nothing from her nose touched her hand.

It sounds like you're just a control freak who likes to boss people around.

You missed the part where I already made the post this morning, before the macros came out. :)

But that's okay, you seem to miss a lot.

aegion June 13 2007, 06:16:28 UTC

Lol, oh ok. You made the post before the macros so everything I said is wrong.

And there you go with the insults again! Maybe you insult so much because you get bullied at school, but if so you have to break the cycle of abuse. There's really no need to insult anyone here, dark_puck.

dark_puck June 13 2007, 13:24:15 UTC

Oh! Oh, dear! I've seen the error of my ways, thanks to the expert psychoanalysis of Dr. Aegion!

No, seriously. I insult you because of schoolyard bullying back when I was a snot-nosed little bratling? Nah. I just do it because I'm a bit of a bitch.

You'd think I've got a clock with red LED or something.

I'm actually trained to do everything in the restuarant other than the porter's jobs. I've just been placed in drive-thru lately.

Um...they're "into helping the company" because they need that money to LIVE. THEY NEED THE JOB, THEY WOULD NOT WORK AT A FAST-FOOD PLACE IF THEY DIDN'T NEED THE JOB. Customers can see all kinds of things that most employees don't realize they can see. If you were a customer, and you saw someone sneeze then immediately hand food out, would you want to come back?

skyechan June 12 2007, 21:45:25 UTC

(Actually I just have the job so I have extra money for use at college, but I digress. ^^;; )

aegion June 13 2007, 04:24:32 UTC

Yeah, I was just about to say it before skyechan did. Most people working fast food are kids who have parents paying for most of their shit. You think someone could support themselves on that?

But there ARE some unfortunate people who do have to work those jobs for whatever reason. There's some problem with themself or in their life that prevents them from getting a better job. But just because you have to be a wage slave to survive doesn't mean you should be all like "I love my company that pays me shit and exploits my misfortune! I'm going to make sure they make a lot of money off me!"

Just like back in the day when they had black people as slaves. The idea is you suck up to your boss to their face but once their back is turned then you slack off. Anyone who gets paid 7 dollars an hour and actually busts their ass and really wants the company that's exploiting them to do good is stupid.

Oh wow, I can post image macros too:

You lost at life, the universe, and everything the minute you compared minimum wage jobs to slavery.

aegion June 13 2007, 05:22:46 UTC

Uh ok. So I guess all the counties sociologists also lose at life the universe and everything? Because wage slave is a real term used in sociology textbooks to describe people who have to work jobs like that.

dark_puck June 13 2007, 05:32:46 UTC

Did I say one word about the term "wage slave"?

You said, and I quote:

Insta-fail, mate. Insta-fail.

aegion June 13 2007, 05:52:27 UTC

So first it was offensive that I compared minimum wage jobs to slavery. Then once I pointed out that it's not offensive and every sociologist in the country agrees with me, you change your mind and now it's offensive that I compared them to black slaves. Honestly, I don't see how that's offensive. You could substitute any group of people who used to be slaves there, the word "black" is not offensive, sorry. And I think I made it clear that I think slavery of any kind is an injustice.

dark_puck June 13 2007, 05:57:09 UTC

And when did I ever say that I was offended? I just said that you failed. There's a slight difference there, mate.

Fuck this shit, I'm going to bed. I suppose I'll see you in my inbox in the morning.

aegion June 13 2007, 06:33:27 UTC

Dark_puck, what is the appeal of communities like stupid_free for you?

The whole thing seems reminiscent of a group of bitchy gossiping teenage girls.
