She will be devastated to find out you have a girlfriend(assuming your GF shows up).

"ps. I just realized that "i pity the fool that doesn't phone home" is from the Simpsons."

I wouldn't know, I don't watch that show.

Well I was devastated to find out she had a boyfriend but I was even more devastated that she might be a little on the prude side. (PM for details).

And its from an ooooold simpsons episode, I believe someone was at or watching on tv a stand-up comedian that made a Mr. E.T. joke and said that very same line. Anyone know the episode I'm talking about?

I recognized it as being from The Simpsons. I don't think it's that old of an episode, definitely closer to being new than being from the start of the series. I don't remember specifically which one it's from, but I remember the context. Everyone hates Homer, and it's all over the TV, and Homer switches it to Evening at the Improv "because they never talk about anything except the 1980s."

I'm pretty sure it was the episode where Homer is accused of sexually harrassing the babysitter. Which would make it at least 15 years old.

I checked, you're right; I thought it was a lot more recent than that. That is a very underrated episode.

That was one of my favorite episodes! I still remember almost pissing my pants YEARS later when i got the "rowdy roddy PEEPER" joke (i didn't watch wrestling when I was younger).

God... 15 years ago.. i remember it when it was new...

I didn't think id have to post in here for a while, considering that aside from boring and repetetive training, my new job is pretty cool so far but...

Today I went out in to the feild for training at the hospital I'll be working at. The first patient me and my supeprvisor had to screen was being tested for h1n1 even thouigh his diagnosis sheet said he was admitted for pnuemonia. Why does that suck for us?

Well before we went in to the patients room we asked the nurse if we should wear mask, cuz she wasn't but the patients one family member was, and she said no its fine, go on in!
Next thing we know we're being yelled at by one of the doctors...

She said we should be fine since he wasn't coughing and we were about 6ft away, and the test results SHOULD come back negative..

We'll see!

Stogi · « **Reply #137 on:** November 27, 2009, 01:52:21 PM »

But he was admitted with pnuemonia which is caused by the flu. Flu = fluid in the lungs.

That nurse is an idiot.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #138 on:** November 27, 2009, 01:53:35 PM »

*Hopes that EasyCure isn't going to contract h1n1 because of a nurses neglience*

EasyCure · « **Reply #139 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:18:07 PM »

Thanks maxi, I hope I don't either. Someones gotta help my mom with bills considering my stepfather was admitted to the hospital last night for being anidiot..

/venting

On the bright side I only did half a days work (barely considering driving times to and from the office and hospital) but will be paid a full day. I'm home now eating leftovers before picking up my girl and see what's left over from black Friday sales.

Then back to home to finish up nsmbw, good times.

Oh by the way, I'm pissed my allergies are still acting up from yesterday. Everytime I sneeze I get paranoid its the start of a flu

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #140 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:30:02 PM »

Well I am not going to go out for Black Friday for 2 reasons. It can get pretty hectic.I went a few years ago in 2006 looking for a Wii.
2. I don't have much money at this point so it would be pointless.

Hope you find something you and your girl can want.

So, I'm at the TV wall, talking to a customer, showing him a copy of the ad, discussing some of the TVs we've got on sale. This guy comes up and, gruffly, says "Hey, can you help me get this TV?" and points in the general direction of the multitude of television sets we've got. I looked at him and said "Sir, I'm with another customer, I'll be with you as soon as possible or one of the two associates over at the desk would be able to assist you", pointing at the desk about 20 feet away. He gets a 'tude and, rather loudly, says "Forget it, I just won't buy the damn thing. I just needed it unlocked anyway!". I reply "I'm sorry, but I don't even have the key to that. The two guys over at the desk have that key." He screams something and storms off...

...to the front desk where he makes a complaint that i actually told him I wouldn't help him because I was with another customer.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #142 on:** November 28, 2009, 03:40:14 PM »

Sigh... people are so impatient during the holidays. I guess it has to do with stress from family and the "I want it NOW" mentality that is in society today.

I'm convinced that whoever made the statement "The customer is always right" never worked at a store.

It was probably a customer that came up with that saying.

SilverGrey · « **Reply #145 on:** November 28, 2009, 04:23:26 PM »

Must be why I enjoyed telling customers that they were wrong about something......
"I want to buy this blender I see on your website"
"We don't carry that blender, I'm very sorry"
"I'm looking at it, it's on your website, it's right in front of me!!!"
"What does the top of the website say?"
"Pottery Barn"
"I'm very sorry, but this is Crate & Barrel"
"........so why can't I order the blender?"

This is an actual conversation I had with a customer when I used to work for Crate & Barrel as my summer job when I was in school. And it's not even the weirdest one I had.

the funny thing about some of my retail stories is that they're NSFW lol..

Stratos · « **Reply #147 on:** November 28, 2009, 04:56:48 PM »

My Dad has some crazy tech support stories. One lady was trying to use the mouse like an old sewing machine pedal.

I think it's funny how people call Pizza Hut and I identify the place as Pizza Hut and they ask for Dominoes oven baked sandwiches and I say this isn't Dominoes and they are all confused.

While on that matter I'll vent about other pizza related things.

I love how people order pizza for delivery and are baffled when the driver can't find the house when they don't have their lights on and their numbers are either not posted on the house or hiding behind a bush.

Once I couldn't get through an automatic gate and called the customer on my cell phone and she was trying to buzz me in and couldn't understand that you have to call through the gate terminal to be able to buzz people in. I ended up jumping the fence and walking to her place and she was still baffled that she couldn't buzz me in when I called on my cell phone -after explaining to her how those call-in terminals work.

It's also really frustrating when someone tries to pay for $12 worth of stuff with a $100 bill and gets upset when the driver only has $20 change.

That's just the tip of the crazy iceberg when it comes to customers at Pizza Hut.

I've had many a drunken solicitation for sexual favors. Rather disturbing most of the time.

Though once I delivered to a bunch of partying people and they were playing Guitar Hero and convinced me to play a round. They were in awe of my skills and people wanted their picture taken with me. They guy who paid gave me a $20 tip for staying.

Well, then, that customer is right!

I'm still in awe of the guy I dealt with today. It'd been one thing if he had claimed I was rude or just that I refused to help him. No, he actually complained that I refused to help him because I said I was with another customer. It boggles the mind.

Were any of them female and of PYT or MILF status?
