    The things that everyone should really do in a trip to the city are the museums (seriously, we have amazing museums), eat a lot, and walk around in at least one down town neighborhood like the west village or soho.

    Man, a sales associate just pissed me off so bad. I asked for help to find some D&D books and she walked me over to where they might be, told her I was looking for my friend to help him out and she told me she couldnt find the d&d section but that they normally kept them behind the register. I said okay and thanked her and told her i'd keep looking in the section we were standing in that did have some roleplaying books (and DID have some d&d shit). Suddenly she got irate and was like "is your friend already looking in that section?!" And i said no, politely and thanked her again and told her it was okay i'd keep looking and she was like "but i didnt even answer your question, you know what, whatever" and walked away in a huff. My friend pointed to the books and told me they were right there, other customers were like "wow".

    I was just gonna remain in a bad mood and walk out but I reported her to a manager. A first for me. But still. Fuck that lady.

    @OnTheLastCastle‌ this is my post from earlier today

    sucks, but her being a butthole is her loss. you only lose if you let it affect you too.

    ur bewtiful in everry single way, word cant bring u down

    Like, I pride myself on not going full on hoodrat because I know what it's like to work retail, but even when someone was rude to me, I tried to not take it out on someone else. I could've escalated it, but I reported her to her manager so I'm sure that was the right thing to do. BUT I wish I had been snarkier to her instead of just letting her walk off.

    I don't know if this makes me a pussy or not, and I'm sort of tired of being pushed around or people perceiving me as being easy to push around. I shouldn't lower myself to her level, but I sort of wish I did so I'd be seen as not a push-over?

    I'm having some self-esteem issues here and it revolves around this heifer. Even though I know I did the right thing.

    I have rollplay on because they re doing Shadowrun and I know like 3 of the people.

    One of them is playing a dove shaman and playing her like the biggest hippie ever. It is pretty great.

    i do really like south park. 18 seasons and it's still doing some pretty clever satire. i actually think it's gotten better.

    this episode has people cutting off yellow wristbands, probably for Lance Armstrong's livestrong, but then it turns out they discovered HGH in the shroud of turin so it's WWJD wristbands

    I'm pretty sure if she hit me I would've been dumbfounded but then I would've rolled a d20 that always landed on 20 and crit her.

    Be assertive doesn't mean popping off.

    It isn't raising your voice or ripping people apart it is standing your ground and saying politely and flatly what needs to happen.

    Screaming at people tends to bring things to a head than a proper conclusion.

    I tend to use my teacher voice such folks as you described. You will learn one if you teach anywhere. It is loud enough to cut, strong enough to leave no room for argument and with a bit of disappointment to guilt.

    they do.

    from american apparel

    weird thing, they fit okay in the butt/hip area but not in the thighs. I got a 30/32 and I went to uniqlo where I was about a 30 in pants. I have tried other places where a 32 was either right, or too big

    so I'm wondering if maybe they need to be thrown in the wash to let them expand a bit in the thighs or what? But right now they're pressing into my meaty legs.

    Sometimes it takes like a slightly darker richer lamb
