Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.
The most baffling part is that these people somehow managed to learn to read.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What is even happening?
in my bookstore-slave years, I had any number of customers try to return books because they were upside-down. Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.

I'm getting the pig!

That's quite possibly one of the saddest things I've ever read. I had no idea that people could be so stupid. Wow.

This. So very much.
Happy Birthday, quester!

How do these people NOT get thinned out of the herd?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The bookstore complaint that I loved was when a customer returned a book, complaining that I didn't tell him that a book was missing 16 pages. Like I was supposed to make sure that every book we had in the store was bound correctly?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That was not covered in the training. How was I supposed to know?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Blarg. Ninnyhead attending MD just stopped by about half an hour ago to drop off a day's worth of notes, which I'd been noodging him about since yesterday, and now I'm feeling all sullen and gripey and like just not fucking doing them at all (this is the guy who has to have his drafts printed out sheet by sheet for editing because he can't get on the server to edit them electronically and I can't just email them to him because he doesn't know how to open an email attachment; I'm fully convinced, despite his bucketload of Ivy League degrees, that if I were to say "Just double-click" he'd tap the monitor screen twice and then look at me all bewildered and puppy-like).
Also, my boss's newest grandbaby has just been transferred here from another local hospital because there's something wrong with her lungs.
Man, fuck this work year. Just fuck it.
