AHHH NOTHING TO START MY DAY LIKE SOME PETTY SQUABBLING WITH MY ELDERS
this morning I decided to talk to people before I had my coffee again now I know that’s a meme, but holy shit I’m really one of those people who should not do it. I go up to this gas station in a rich area where I frequently have to visit one of my friends and I’m always appalled by how the gas prices are a solid dollar higher and then the gas stations don’t even function and I’ve seen a couple other attendants at this place before and I can immediately tell I’ve gotten the Owner now because he’s like one of the people who lives around there. He’s like a fat old boomer white guy who gives me this beady-eyed glare devoid of courtesy, and has no idea how to do transaction.
So I started asking him like has he noticed how messed up everything is now how nothing works, when he goes to the grocery store there’s only one or two attendants there And he takes like five minutes to try to take care of my transaction because his fucking card readers don’t work so I’m just like you you know what fuck you you can’t even take care of your own shit I’m out of here and what does he do he comes out of the office and tries to fight me I’m not kidding. He tries to fight me now I don’t know if you know me well, you don’t know me but I’m a pretty big dude and not in the cuddly way for some reason this is like the fourth time a boomer has tried to fight me this month who has absolutely like no chance of doing anything other than calling the cops and they actually try and put their hands on me. It’s incredible. They’re like flabby completely limp hands like they are tempting me to snap them like pickles anyway, obviously, I just left but it was funny to see like the insanely mad store owner, running after me like Mr. Krabs as I drove away. What a waste of five minutes let’s make today a good one
even in that case I probably would have said something about the card readers out there still being broken for almost a year now. no reason to actually come after me though, in fact why not begin commisserating about how everything is broken? why not be like “yea been intending to fix that for a while” then I would have felt like the asshole
