Why is it stressing for you? You're not making the mortgage payments...

Holy crap. I just started doing the "OAO Results" matchups that I pin up on Sunday and boy are there some differing picks between teams this week. Oh, might as well post this now, too: Steelers -- 20 BAL DET GB JAX SEA NO NYG PHI PIT IND SF NYJ KC MIA CAR STL Swift Terror Bears, 14 pts Green Bay Philadelphia Tennessee San Diego Tampa bay Baltimore Jacksonville Pittsburgh Seattle NY Giants San Fran Denver NY Jets Miami Carolina St Louis--Monday

The most memorable "stare" I ever had was this college punk that had $12+ in SMALL CHANGE that he wanted me to turn into bills for him. Not only that, but also he was a real prick to boot, and I only knew him for a few moments. With me being a "lowly" cashier (my second job at the time) I guess he thought I was some flunkie so he had this real arrogant attitude and did the "stare" technique. Heck, he even leaned in toward me. So I leaned toward him (you'd think we were about to kiss) and did my slow-counting technique. I separated all the pennies, nickels and dimes and every time I made a successful roll I gave him that amount in bills. Funny thing was this douche said to me after about 10 minutes (I wasn't even half done yet -- I can be SLOW when need be -- and I was also making change for, you know, "real" customers, too) he started bitching because he had to catch a bus. I laughed and said, "Son, I haven't even gotten to your PENNIES yet. He reached over and took whatever change he had left, but most of the coins fell OFF THE COUNTER AND ONTO THE FLOOR. He missed his bus, and good times were had by all...

Oh, the dreaded "customer stare." I always like that one, and it is an effective trick when done properly. I usually countered by counting out loud, and extremely slow, making sure to make a check mark every time I counted a dollar's worth of change. Or, better yet, actually put the change in their respective coin rolls. Wuss...

Looks like they're going to need a bigger boat...

Now if animals were allowed to vote, would their eligible age be in people years, or the years of their respective species?...

Great read. I know it's off-topic, but this always strikes a nerve with me every time I read it: And it is because of this that I say fuck the NAACP...

And what major, pray tell, would you not drop out of due to idiot profs outside of business-type pursuits? (Let me tell you the journalism realm isn't much better off...)

My thoughts exactly...

Patience is a virtue. On some of my searches, I have been able to fix myself something to eat while the engine was busy doing its thing. I'm curious. In your household who is the better/lesser half, or are you both equals? (that would be no fun)...

Watching our fine officers in law enforcement do their job on "WTO Day"...

Oh give me a freaking break. WORKING FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. Surprised these pseudo-terrorists didn't say that these families, due to the Bush economy, have to resort to illegally downloading music because they lost their jobs due to tax cuts and have no other way to give their kids the latest Ja Rule CD for Christmas. I hope these vandals get busted at a store for putting stickers on albums and have to pay for every CD they deface. If you don't like the RIAA then don't buy anything they produce...

Great topic. I used to LOVE customers like you because I would then take my sweet-ass time counting the money, thus turning the tables on them and making them late for whatever they were going to. A while back when I was in Ohio the better half was going to visit her parents in PA, and I was going to be by myself for the weekend. I had a real tiring week at work (overtime and all) and was looking forward to buying some booze and vegging out at home playing Madden. Anyway, I get of I-75 and head to Kroger to get some alcohol. When I go to the checkout line the bottles won’t scan. Now I chose to just leave and go to Meijer (this sort of thing happened before to me and it took a LONG time for the cashier to figure out how to ring the booze up), which was only a block or so away – no big deal. Well, all the lanes were packed and some 90-year old geezer was heading the Express Lane and was looking on his sheet of daily specials when ringing a customer up, so I knew I’d be here for a LONG time. I left that place, too. I go to Dillmans, which was on my way home and, like usual, nobody was in the store. I go over to the booze aisle and get my stuff. There is one customer in front of me and all but one or two of her products had been rung up. Now because her order had all but been bagged, and I put my stuff on the left edge of the conveyor belt, which was at least two feet away from the rest of this lady's order. I didn’t put the GREAD DIVIDER in-between our orders. I also then got an urge to get an additional bottle, so I scampered about 7 feet to get that Kahlua which was calling to me. When I came back the cashier was ringing up my order with the customer’s that had been in front of me. I intervened and said the alcohol was mine – nobody noticed that I was gone. Now, I try to be a good customer. If there would have been people behind me in line, or if our orders were close together I wouldn’t have done what I did, but damn – I was only gone for 3 seconds, 4 at the most. Anyway, what happened set me off. The little snot-nosed high school bastard that was the cashier’s bagger said “Well, that’s what you get for leaving your place in line to get another bottle of alcohol.” This little shit saw what I did and still let his co-worker ring up my order. I replied “So you saw me leave and proceeded to let the cashier ring up my order.” I can’t remember what he said after that, but it pissed me off enough to leave my purchase on the conveyor belt and walk out of the store. But it wasn’t over. He then said something else, of which I can’t really remember, but I do remember that arrogant ha-ha-I-pulled-one-over-on-the-customer look on his face. But it wasn’t to be there for long. I stood there by the door and said with a calm, unemotional tone (wasn’t going to let him get the best of me) “It would break my heart to learn several years from now that you, or better yet a close loved one of yours, comes down with a terminal case of cancer and suffers a slow, painful death that not only empties your family’s bank account but also drains you of any reasons to live the rest of your pathetic existence on this Earth. Good day. Everybody’s face there turned white, and I walked out the door. I never went back to that store. I did eventually get my alcohol at another smaller, dirtier Dillmans that was a few blocks away from my house (I never went there unless it was an emergency) – and the chick that rang up my order flirted with me, so it’s all good...

No -- Damn Civil Rights legislation. Remember when the Simpsons were just a Tracey Ullman sketch?...

What a great idea. I can't wait for all the posters that will fail their classes based on what I tell them. And while we're on the subject, thanks for taking me up on my research paper offer, Czech ...

Ditto. I actually felt like that kid in the commercial for a second when I bit into one...

Odd, I just learned that Howie is going to be on certain network's Sunday News Show. Soooooo, Tyler, since I'll be getting Madden 2004 from Santa maybe we can play a game or two. Nothing says "stress relief" like controlling a strong safety on a run blitz and taking out the other team's running back in the backfield...

Neil Bush > Roger Clinton...

As a psychologist myself, I have to agree. I haven't done any scientific polls, but I feel safe saying that at least 98% of my fellow professionals are complete wastes of skin. What area are you in? My better half is in Clinical, and she can't stand 99% of the pinheads in her profession (thanks in part to years and years of me ragging on these idiots of course)...

It's a stretch, but I'll buy it. You make lots of money so you can piss it away on stupid social programs...

I'm not a Bond fan, but if a character has been in movies this long then there's certainly a fan base for him so it's all good. My question is, at this point in the franchise, isn't it OK for the Bond actor just to be a mix of the aforementioned Bonds? I didn't know each Bond had to be his own individual...

You know, I have never been a supporter of campaign-finance reform/equal time, but maybe it does have its positives after all... Source, for those that care... Sharpton to Host SNL, Iowa Won't Air DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton will host this weekend's broadcast of "Saturday Night Live (news - Y! TV)," but viewers in Iowa won't see it. All four NBC television affiliates in the state announced they won't carry the show because Sharpton is one of nine candidates seeking the Democratic nomination. The selection process begins with the Iowa caucuses Jan. 19. Tim Gardner, director of creative services at WHO-TV in Des Moines, Iowa, said station lawyers decided that airing the 90-minute show would trigger federal "equal time" provisions — meaning the stations would have to offer an equal amount of air time to each of the other presidential candidates. WHO and two other stations instead will air a previous episode of the 90-minute show. KWWL viewers in the Waterloo, Iowa, area will get to watch three infomercials pitching the Miracle Blade, Total Trolley and something titled "Attacking Anxiety." Sharpton campaign manager Charles Halloran was puzzled by the decision. "Their lawyers must not have finished law school because NBC went through all sorts of research to make sure that it was appropriate," Halloran said.

*Clears throat...*

I put agree to this and still came out far left, weird. Now me and KKK have something in common, also weird. Don't fret. The feeling passes away in a few hours, especially if you have a good bowel movement...
