Wherein Irv lives the dream...

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

...meaning he cursed out a SC and got away with it!

After we finished the truck today, we had to put away the 5,762 metric kilo-fucktons of paper products that came in. In layman's terms, that's a hell of a lot of paper to fill and backstock.

On my way to backstock with a pallet of toilet paper that didn't fit on the shelf, I encountered some woman probably about my age, perusing the paper towels with a mild air of interest and discovery..

Me: Excuse me.
(SC moves and I go past with the pallet of paper)
Me: Thank you. (This might not have been heard over the din of the pallet jack.)
SC: You're welcome.
Me: (keeps going)
SC: (real bitchy) YOU'RE WELCOME!
Me: (still pulling the pallet away and taking advantage of the noise from the pallet jack) F you.
SC: What did you say? (Gee, how's that for selective hearing?)
Me: I said thanks for letting me through.
SC: (no response, goes back to staring at paper towels)

Geez, send the economy straight into the shitter and these jerks think they own you.

Irv, you have just lived the dream of so many. Congratulations.


I was exiting BART about a week ago, and two young women were standing on the steps, blocking them, apparently because it was sprinkling and they didn't want to mess up their weaves. As I moved past with my big rolling backpack I accidently brushed one of their elbows. I said, "I'm sorry," and continued up the stairs. The girl loudly says, "Excuse you." I immediately whirled around, bent down towards her and said equally loudly, "I said I was sorry." Of course, the way I said it it really meant, "Fuck you, you rude bitch. You want some?" She got a shocked look and then her friend started laughing at her as I turned and walked away.

When I was in high school I worked at a grocery store where we would carry the groceries out to their car. (WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TAKE TIPS!!!) Anyway, had this guy that worked there that liked to see what he could get away with. One of his favorites was to say "Tickle your ass with a feather today." Of course, people were like "WHAT DID YOU SAY!!??" and he would answer, "Particularly nice weather were having today." They were always skeptical, but couldn't prove anything.

what a bitch. the nice customers are the ones who move aside to let you through before you even have to ask

[MrWags]

Makes one wish they can get away with it.

it was probably from Super Troopers

reminds me of a game we played at the call center... we'd see how often we could 'meow' during a call and get away with it...
we also had a contest where we'd pick 5 random words at the beginning of the shift... 1st person to get them all into a call won (we had so much fun there)

Very true. It's called courtesy. And it's not common anymore.

[LillFilly]

Oh, those are great!

I worked at a small movie theater and when people were leaving after the movies they NEVER paid attention to you; they were oblivious. We were supposed to say "have a nice day" or "come back again" or something like that as the crowds left. My co-worker, who was a huge practical joker, (put a copied 100$ under the seat of a theater I was cleaning....Grrrr....) would focus on someone, wave and spout a sentance of gibberish "fhwe gksahhe xhzjeke" and people would smile and wave back and say "Yeah, you too" or "You're right, it is nice out"

He did this with a completely straight face too.

In an episode of the saddly short-lived sitcom "The Knights Of Prosperity", Kevin Michael Richardson used "Good evening ma'am, can I tickle yo' ass with a feather?" as a pick-up line.

oh this gives me ideas... I probably should not be let near any large groups of distracted movie goers with a bottle of ketchup and accomplices.

Is there some sort of response to "Your welcome" that's universal? I really don't see what she would have expected you to say.

"Thanks" again?

When my husband worked at RCN, one of his coworkers would ask the new trainees to pick a word. Then he would insert it randomly into calls, usually at the end of a sentence. Confused customers to no end. He was on his way out, so he didn't care about QA listening in.

She didn't hear him (probably fussing over her hair), so the "You're welcome" was an attempt at shaming him into saying it "in the first place".
