This website was literally so fucking stupid. You used to be able to just fucking edit somebody’s post. Like just change it entirely. Nothing was stopping you. What the fuck. Imagine logging into your youtub account and some bozo changed your funny comment to say you love being a dummy. That’s what used to happen here. Every single day.

idk if I’ve posted about this before but by far the strangest things that’s happened to me in retail was the time someone’s total came out to my birth-year and I said “hey! that’s the year I was born!” and then the next customer’s total came out to like $12.57 and just bc I’m a weirdo I said “hey! that’s the year I was born!” and without missing a fucking beat this like, 70+ year old man said

“Ah! Another like me! We’re few and far between these days, aren’t we?”

And I was like oh man this guy’s sense of humor really aligns with mine! And I laughed and made some other joke about being immortal and thought that was the end of it,

but this man.

He stood by the register for five more minutes. Maybe more. Which let me tell you is an EXCRUTIATING amount of time for something like this to happen.

And he just kept upping the ante!! He starting talking about some REALLY specific details regarding day-to-day life in the 1300s to the point I started getting worried that I’d misled a genuinely immortal being to believe I am also immortal.

He eventually politely left when I got too busy with other customers to awkwardly respond.

Who the fuck was that guy.

So my dad’s been learning english in his spare time

I didn’t expect him to keep at it, but by god he did. he’s been learning on his own for like two years now. he’s not fluent yet but he’s also sixty and left school at fourteen, so this is pretty impressive. (i mean also an eventual problem because now i’m gonna have to write fanfic in spanish to avoid him reading it and having the “why is there poultry in this scene” conversation, but, impressive.)

buuuuuuut his teachers advised him to practice grammar and vocabulary by going into forums and blogs and talking with real people about topics that interest him.

he’s been taking it to mean “go troll trump and pro-gun supporters to whitin an inch of their life.”

so far he’s been banned from two blogs. he’s ridiculously proud of it.
