Oh shi- Cyber's using caps. I'm confused on if she's being sarcastic or not.

Seriously though, Owlish, so basically you consider a great deal of people to be less intelligent than you, including on this board, which may or may not be true. This is an assumption I have gleaned from reading your posts, and although you may be, outside of here, a kind person that never uses their intelligence as a free pass to act like the biggest retard on the block, it comes across as that here. It's one thing if its Mikey being a rude jerkoff- it is obviously a joke. With you, it's the dry, asinine humor that everyone who finds themselves the life of the Smart Party with their jokes about how laws are above them, and joking about shooting people is just the funniest thing ever because, oh my god, people are idiots right why not shoot them?? Right??? Then we can all dissect the latest book and truly think ourselves above morality right??? Don't I get a cookie for being so smart??? Arguing with who you find to be the biggest troglodytes online since you ate in the bathroom during lunch in high school? God honey that ship has sailed and if you're in Rome with the Romans as the Romans do, which is being a goddamn retard, then babe you're ~news flash~ pretty fucking grade AA retarded. You're not a special shepherd or martyr, honey. I'm not particularly smart, either.

And babe my post wasn't whining. I didnt understand why you seemed to be upset. You did seem quite upset that anyone dare make you think about anything. I know your type- correct my spelling and talk about your IQ and the pointlessness of morality all rolled up in an adolescent need to be offended and prove oneself right. Don't tone police me, face it. I don't need to be civil or righteous back to a blowhard.

What I find fairly amusing is that I basically said I find Owlish's behavior obnoxious, and then she proceeded to prove my point until everybody else thought so, too. My work here is done.

So, what's the goal of claiming that I "disappear" if you're not implying I hide from shit?

My point was that when there's no Owlish-drama it's not because you're so good at not starting drama, it's because you're not actually around.

my first post was completely calm and reasoned. Cyberwulf responded by swearing at me, and I responded in kind. At the risk of sounding erudite and condescending, when in Rome

'But Mooooom, she hit me first'-? Honestly? Don't worry, you don't sound very erudite at all. Very fitting metaphor earlier though, with the sandbox and all.

My comment about firearms was meant as a self-deprecating joke. In response to my one sentence joke, Disco Stu responds with a paragraph of armchair analysis about how it's a "glimpse into my psyche," then whines when I call it bullshit.

*Their* psyche. The customers'.

Let me translate that conversation:

Owlish: Ugh I hate customers. Sometimes I wanna shoot them all.
Stu: Oh, I know. Retail, ugh. My personal experience is that you have to let it just wash over you, so it won't drive you nuts. People are fucking annoying, but they probably don't mean to be.
Owlish: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME!!!!
Stu: Um. What? Calm down, hey?
Owlish: OH SURE. BE LIKE THAT.

You're welcome.

Huh. I thought Owlish was a man.

Dunno. I was going off this.

Owlish probably ain't seen nothing yet; if a busy line of angry, hungry, wanting to go home with their shit custys are scary and awful and deserve to be shot, try a slammed day as waitstaff where they are PISSED their food hasn't arrived yet but OF COURSE IT ISN'T READY THE COOKS HAVE FIFTEEN ORDERS IN THE KITCHEN TO PREPARE IN ADDITION TO YOURS. The doors to the kitchen are the doors to hell. Being pissed back there will fly, but ultimately you need to GO GO GO because your tips, your rent depends on your ability to be stressed out to the nines and yet, go out there, be chill, be congenial, amid the children throwing spaghetti at you and people generally being hungry and needy and STARING AT YOU because OH MY GOD WHERE IS MY FOOD JESUS CHRIST and every other server is angry as balls because you gotta roll with the punches. If you act desperate to the custys it can backfire and leave you with strings of <10% tips. If you act like, and it shows that, you think you're better than anyone on the floor, it's goin to negatively affect you. People come to relax and don't need yr attitude.

Oh but what do I know though I'm not putting my college education to good use at all!!! Therefore its irrelevant and I'm a shallow erudite!!! Wheeeeee

So, if I obtained a tracheotomy, can I just reroute my food to come out that hole in my neck by bending over, using gravity to shift the food back towards my mouth?

If I had to get one of those gross ass things seriously how would this new solution fly

My neighbor's colostomy bag was pretty damn gross as it eliminated the whole shitting ordeal for him as well

I don't think this is gonna take off, no matter how ethical or right or bulimic it sounds

You know stu, you'd love me as a customer, I'd order my food then sit quietly and stare down at the table wondering 'where the fuck did I go wrong with my life?' in self-depreciation while I wait for my food, then proceed to murmer creepily as I pay you too much for a small tip and my bill then head out the door

Um, no. The "I wanna shoot them all" part was the fucking joke. For some reason I was under the impression that a thread to share stupid things people say was, to like, share stupid things people say? Not because I want to shoot any of them. I thought it was pretty obvious that statement wasn't serious, so I'm wondering where the malfunction was but you know what there's no point trying to explain this anymore.

^ That in no way changes the accuracy of grumbles's summary. I do not think anyone took your original hyperbole srsly.

Then, why this response? I was not "ranting" by any means, nor was I "acting high and mighty," I was trying to be genial by making a joke.

I doubt most people who joke about shooting others for whatever reason actually do it, but at the same time why are you ranting? Doesn't this come with the territory for some things? Yeah it's irritating but isn't it much easier to ignore/ make fun of/ deal with in the present than act all high and mighty as if everyone is some giant irritation? Like yeah, some person asking for the trillionth time how much something is when you work at a 99 cent store can be irritating but to each new person you'll never see again, they're just trying to be funny. Drunk people are annoying. 14 year old boys are annoying. It kind of is a glimpse into someone's psyche.

Oh, I've done the food service thing too, and I was probably better at it than you'll ever be. I routinely pulled in two to three times the tips anyone else on my shifts made.

I WAS A SUPER WAITRESS FUCK YOU

srsly are we going down this road b/c i work for more than minimum wage does that mean i automatically win then

You know, for all the shit that Chris91 gets on this board, other people aren't much different. They keep bringing a dead issue up again and again and again in the hopes of, what? Getting to have the last word?

Owlish has repeatedly stated that she was joking. Nothing else others say is going to change her intentions there. How about we just drop the 'it's all about Owlish' stance and start talking about the actual subject?

The actual subject being that this revolutionary stomach pump is not, ever, going to solve any eating disorder?

Okay then, talk.

This revolutionary stomach pump is not ever going to solve any eating disorder. In fact, it may actually provoke those with the tendency for self-destructive behavior to embrace this method instead of getting actual help.

Can we all agree on that at least?

Yes. Except for Owlish, apparently.

My god Owlish who cares if you were the super waitress nobody gives a shit and not everything is a personal slight against you

it's all your perception, chill out, kay?

Don't need to be arguing about who makes better tips anyway, sweetie. It's poor taste.

And the European Union.

Now, I'm a huge critic of medical device regulation in general, but it counts for something. *shrug*

That one, fuck it, is my mother's favourite. Which is the reason why we nearly came to hands last week, after my daughter ate half a jar of jam (luckily she's as thin as a nail, but cavities are another matter).
My mother's excuse?
"But it's HOMEMADE!"

Returning to the subject, why bother with a stomach pump? You could simply do an esophagotomy instead of a tracheotomy and let the chewed food just dribble out of a hole in your neck and all over your shoulder. Just install a valve for the water and the food you must eat to survive, and you're all set.

One of my coworker has a gastric surgery but it didn't last. It couldn't: his idea of exercise is climbing to the seat of the forklift (he's been seen driving the forklift to save a 40 yards walk). Maybe a brain surgery would've been more useful?
When I see the invoice for the tailor-made working clothes we make for him, I think of the several rock bands whose members were told to lose weight or leave...

According to New Scientist, gastric bypass doesn't last unless it makes everything taste terrible. Other hormonal fuckery is responsible for the Type II diabetes disappearing in a week according to Discover Magazine.

Haha wow, that first statement was barely about you and that 2nd statement was in no way about you at all. I stand by what I said.
