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
a story about how carrying cash could have made two people less annoyed 🥰
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
like I don’t mean to bury the lede here I shouldn’t be taking out crabbiness on random people, even if I feel like they’re probably a dickhead, and even if I justify it as a segue into complaining about the decay and financialization of absolutely everything, because all it’s likely to do is stress someone out, unless they are the type of dickhead like me who feels relieved to be able to complain about it 😁

@[email protected] Also if this seems like I’m using “fat old white guy boomer” in a derigatory fashion, I’m really not. I can fuck with all of those or even the intersections, but you can really tell when you come into this suburb and everyone looks Texan. Mea culpa on the language, I know you mind your Ps and Qs ferociously 😁
@[email protected] And by people who live around here I’m also excluding any white person who smokes cigarettes and has a real job instead of just spending their whole day walking their dogs Felicia and Jefferson in circles in a place without sidewalks. If I’d seen a guy like that at the counter I would never have voiced any grievances
who has absolutely like no chance of doing anything other than calling the cops and they actually try and put their hands on me
And they’ll be the type to call the cops after trying to put their hands on you and getting their ass beat 💀
Reminds me of the
peopleboomers on Cart Narcs.Sorry for duplicate reply I just realized how this works, replying to comments from other instances won’t make them visible on the one I posted to originally 😵💫 maybe once I federate with sdf or something more? Confusing. But just wanted to clear my name/further incriminate myself about going ballistic irl (you decide, fair commenters) and make it visible on my post.
@[email protected] @[email protected]Oh gosh here is the actual reply. Pls reply to this one druid if you wish. The others will be invisible except to me. Again posting this because I welcome consternation for my actions even by Buddhists or whatever

One guy was yelling at QFC Employees who were trying to reason with him about stopping shoplifters and his interpretation of whatever that means (He was I think, giving them some kind of speech about how they should go after people who he had reported to them or something. Just bizarre.) could be a guy in a hoodie we don’t know in any case you shouldn’t be risking your life on behalf of corporate Kroger. He literally tried to square up with me in the parking lot because I told him to calm down I mean that really tell you about why he is “stopping shoplifters” in the first place. One was a guy who got mad at me for not being able to move my car fast enough out of a place where I was allowed to park. I made the mistake of telling him I would be back in five minutes instead I was back in 10. He came swinging at me trying to me so he could call the cops on me or something. One of them was a guy who was driving extremely dangerously on a risky driveway with his headlights off, and parked nearby me so I went over to talk to him. Does infringing on people’s sense of invincibility count as winding them up? The people here are evil.
i’m done not talking shit with people. People are going fucking insane because nobody will talk back to them. There was an old lady who called the cops on me for being parked in my car early in the morning after leaving my friends place when I came out to talk to her she started shrieking. These are the people JP Morgan decided to make the villa kings of our society. The guy who came swinging at me because I didn’t move my car fast enough by the way began punching my windshield. do you wanna know how people my age react when I banter with them they laugh because I’m fucking funny I don’t have this problem with anybody else. I don’t see anybody else harassing fucking service workers. I don’t see anybody else calling the cops on me for loitering or whatever. I don’t really exempt anybody from tit for tat banter exchanges I don’t even swear at people if you get offended by the stuff I say irl it’s because they are BUTTMAD.
