  • Another Damn Senior Day: December 2010

    This is getting old.

    The Ghost Of Christmas Gas

    There's a reason I often refer to senior day as "The Swamp Smells Like Ass Day." When you get a bunch of people whose control over their bladders and bowels is tenuous at best together in a confined space, sooner or later it will smell like a national park pit toilet.

    And then you have people, like the guy right next to me as I was working in household chemicals, who lift their leg and make a slide trombone of their butt right in my face. Gee, with all the gas being expelled in this store I could resurrect the Glenn Miller Orchestra and have them play "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo."

    I'll admit I am sometimes a bit too free and easy with my breaking wind, but at least I'll try to get someplace unoccupied before letting fly. Next time at least try to pretend you're not going to play your stinky rectal music.

    Dear Whomever Keeps Taking The Broken Scanner I Keep Leaving For The Receiving Clerk To Fix and Returning It To The Cabinet:

    Next time you do this I'ma try some percussive maintenance to fix the scanner. On your head. Until you die.

    I've left notes twice. I'm not doing it again.

    Reindeer and elves and candy canes and hot chocolate,
    Irv

    Dear Service Desk People:

    Next time you call me to bring up a raincheck item for a customer, I need vital information about the item such as its SKU or model number or something.

    Not "that leather recliner that was on sale a while back." We only have about three of them, and they're always on sale.

    Snowflakes that freeze on your nose and eyelashes:
    Irv

    Dear Electronics People:

    There are three of you in the department. You do not need one scanner for each of you. You can get by with only one. One of you is just running the register anyway.

    If you expect me to schlep out the TVs you sell today, I'ma need some way to find them in the stockroom.

    Brown paper packages tied up with string:
    Irv

    Dear HBA/Grocery Specialist:

    Next time you decide play babysitter and tell me what time I can or cannot go on break because you don't feel like actually helping customers, at least let me take a nap or something.

    Crisp apple strudel and schnitzel with noodles,
    Irv

    Gee! I feel like a musical interlude right about now:

    Irv's getting nuttin' for Christmas
    All his co-workers are mad
    Irv's getting nuttin' for Christmas
    Because he's been nothing but baaaaaaad....


    Dear Salvation Army Bell Ringers:

    When you tell me "We're going to keep saying good morning to you" as I'm in and out with carts, and actually do that, that really makes me want to give money to your charity. If by money you mean "death" and "your charity" you mean "you."

    Let me fetcheth my carts in peace.

    When the bee stings think of me,
    Irv

    Furniture Frustrations

    You who drove up in a Monte Carlo to pick up two recliners: No. Not even trying it. You can get a hold form at the service desk.

    And to the woman who snottily told me your long storage cabinet would fit in you back seat; just angle it--Just to humor you, I tried. It may surprise you to learn it didn't work. Hold form. Service Desk. Now.

    To that other guy who wanted me to take his recliner out of the box and fit the pieces in his Buick Geezermobile: No. I'm cold, and there are wolves after me. I have your merchandise and you don't. SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I SAY.

    Get a hold form at the service desk. We'll hang on to your recliner for you and not sell it to somebody else. I promise.

    Dear Mother Nature, Who Decided To Make It Snow Lightly And Picturesquely, But Also Enough To Force Me To Run Outside And Sweep It Away And Put Down Salt:

    Eat my ass with a side of au gratin potatoes and creamed corn. Seriously, why must you always do this on my days to do carryouts?

    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
    Irv

    Aaaaand I get to do more of the same tomorrow because we're starting a loyalty coupon. Joy. If anybody needs me I'll be curled up drinking heavily.

    When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I'm feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don't feel so bad

    Ah...I enjoy that song. Thanks for the post and sorry your day sucked.

      Kinda gives new meaning to the term "Swamp Gas" doesn't it? Did that first guy intentionally fart in your face? What an asshole. Maybe that's not the best choice of words. However, did I not suggest in another thread you take advantage of your lactose intolerance for Senior Day Dec '10?

        You survived! Have a beer or two, or three, or... Hell, take the case.

        On the plus side, I can tear up this check to the STGIAFTPTBRFTSABHUDSTEWCKHA as you won't be needing it.

        If they put the broken scanner back again, attach a note to it. Secure it with about half a roll of packaging tape.

        You should have tied the recliner to the top of the car. Hope for low bridges.

          I .... despise that song. I don't know why, but I've never liked it.

            Poor Irv.

            This Senior Day sounded bad, but not as bad as others you've written about.

                  They Actually Thought This Was Funny

                  Forgot this one.

                  While I'm continuing to work in household chemicals, this old fart and his old fart-ess of a wife pass me by. Old fart says " He's (referring to me) raising all the prices again."

                  Old fart and fart-ess laugh.

                  Actually, I don't raise the prices. That's price accuracy's job. However, today only, you can pay me all in hot dogs. A hundred hot dogs equals roughly a nickel. Depending on the strength of the yen.

                    Rrgh...Dammit, Irv! Now I can't get this out of my head! You'll rue the day...

                    Ladies who cry poor while sparkling with riches
                    Buyers who leave carts in snowbanks and ditches
                    Shoppers on Christmas Eve looking for Wiis
                    These are a few of my favorite SC's...

                    Incontinent pensioners, bloated and gassy
                    Elderly women who move like mollassy
                    I told you we're all out of Playstation 3's
                    These are a few of my favorite SC's

                    Children wailing, checkouts failing, when I feel like s**t
                    I think of a few of my favorite SC's
                    And that makes me want to quit!

                    Haggling women in Hoverround scooters
                    Doorbusting grandmothers acting like looters
                    Old men who tell me about their diseases
                    These are a few of my favorite SC'ses

                    Coupons from yesteryear shoved in our faces
                    Tots in the toy store have silly string races
                    Don't have a receipt? Don't return it to me
                    I'll get my manager; you're an SC

                    When a lady, acting shady, wants her shopping free
                    I think of the list of my favorite SC's
                    And that makes me want to flee!

                    ...I'll get you for that.

                    Love, Who?

                      This. NEEDS. To be recorded. And played in every retail store in the country. Hell, the world.

                      Seriously, can anybody on here sing? Cause you got a winner here. Put it on Youtube, I guarantee you, viral in 5 minutes.

                      Wait, what am I saying? Recovering Kinkoid has a band. RK, you listening?

                          Did the Buick driver have on one of those old man hats they always wear? I call them "Old men driving hats" lmao
                          I have defined levels of old male sucky drivers:
                          1. old guy in geezer mobile (usually older model Buick, Olds, Caddy or Continental)
                          2. old guy in a hat
                          3. old guy with Florida tags (I live in MD)

                          And of course, the Holy (crap) Trinity: Old guy in a hat in geezer mobile, with Florida tags.

                          We see far too many of those in Nov & Dec, passing back and forth between FL and NY or NJ

                            That was wonderful.

                            Oh, and I can sing . . .
