h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

LOL
makes two of us
I would tell tham to shut up and stop being so stupid

Well- that's me and waiting tables! Can't the goof balls go get their OWN plates? And must they look down my shirt? And can't they live WITHOUT the damn Whipped Cream in their coffe?

I think you all must have w****d behind a shop counter at some time, you all hit the nail right on the head . I believe that instead of military service, everyone should made to do sales service for a year, no exceptions. Then maybe they'd all be a bit less stupid when they walk into a shop! I have it double because I work in a used cd store - in other words, we have to buy as well as sell. So when someone brings in a bunch of discs which are so bloody scratched that they're only good for coasters, which have no artwork, the cases are all busted, and they're titles that we already have 100 copies of (like Monster by REM or Pieces of You by Jewel), and then we tell them that our best offer for these 20 cd's that they probably spent $250 on (and then trashed and are expecting to get at least $100 for) is a dollar.... well, you just imagine what kind of reaction you're going to have to deal with . And then there's the people who bring in stolen cd's. The crackheads and suchlike. I got so brassed off with one of them last week that I threw him out of the store and told him not to come back. Ever. I don't have the authority to do that yet, but I got mad and lost control. My manager should have fired me for that, but I got a pat on the back . Anyways. Here I am amongst friends again s all round. How are you all?

So, you don't 'admire' them as such?
Here Gosh, get on the outside of this's back.

Nah you should try dealing with the perants of the kids in the school I work in on wednes days...trust me they expect miracls in under six seconds flat

And why shouldn't they? I know I do ...

You sound like Marge Simpson there Shea, when Homer asks "Do you want it done right or do you want it done fast?", then Marge answers "Well, like all Americans I want it fast". Then Homer and Bart blow up the VCR. Yeah, it blows up the VCR, but it gets the stuck tape out. Marge says "Hmm, you can't argue with results"

Well, I think it's inbred ... I want it, and I want it now!
Miracles in 6 seconds flat ... I like the sound of that ... it'd make a great marketing slogan ...

And I don't like Marge Simpson! My voice is deep, but not gravelly!

Didja see? This forum is under the 5 Busiest Conversations! I think it's that nude portrait ...

I didn't mean to say I don't like Marge Simpson ... I meant to say I don't *sound* like Marge Simpson!

I think I'm getting

Being naked for hours on end will do that to you...

And how do you know this?

I must have read it somewhere...

Gosh- if you haven't seen it yet, you MUST MUST MUST!!! see High Fidelity!!! All you service guys and anyone who likes good, funny movies actually should!
Whatta movie (oh! my tickles me!)

I haven't seen it yet, but if it comes in (oh, we sell used VHS too), I'll bring it home to watch. I think someone at work was reading the book recently, or at least I remember someone talking about it. And what's all this about being naked for hours? I thought we weren't allowed to do that now that h2g2 is part of the BBC - don't you all know that BBC radio news readers are still required to wear dinner jackets whilst on air? Goodness me, what would Lord Reith think?

Dunno who Lord Reith is ... don't care what he thinks ... but I admire the fact that you're worried about the content of the site, Gosho!

lol 'scuse me whilst I grab my matching vest...

* pops head in *
