Retail revenge.
This story happened several years ago when I worked in a small town 2-man hardware store.
One of the services we offered that you can’t get at the big city box stores is window repair. Basically, you could bring in your sash with a broken pane and we’d replace any broken parts and the glass. Total cost was the price of the glass plus $3 labor… we certainly weren’t getting rich off of the deal but that type of service kept our customers happy and coming back.
One day a man who only shopped with us once or twice a year brought in a small aluminum framed window off of his storm door which had a broken glass and corner clip busted. I put his name on some masking tape and stuck it on the broken glass, told him how much it would be (I don’t remember exactly but it was around $8.50), told him it would be ready the next day, and then set it on the work counter to fix when we weren’t busy with customers.
About 2 weeks later he shows up for the window. I go to the back to get it, put it on the work counter, and go back to the cash register to ring it up for the total I quoted earlier. All of the sudden he starts throwing a fit saying that’s way to much for a piece of glass. I explained how it’s $3 labor plus the price of the glass. He then goes into a tirade about how the big box center in the city 20 miles away sells glass for a lot less and I should drop my price to meet theirs. Now I knew my competition and I knew for a fact 1) our glass was cheaper, 2) they don’t cut the glass, and 3) they would never go to the trouble to repair the window, let alone do it for $3.
I stand my ground with him and tell him it’s $8.50. Oh hell no, he’s having nothing to do with that. He wants it cheaper. Finally, I figure sh*t, I have lost nothing if he never came back so I walked the few steps back to the work counter, grab a hammer, and smash the glass with 5 or 6 good blows right in front of him. The glass covered the work counter which was no big deal to me, it happens all the time. I will never forget the look on his face when I handed him his frame and tell him, “no charge.”
He just stood there looking at me in disbelief. I thanked him for the opportunity to earn his business and told him, “You’re just going to have to go to that big box store to get it fixed now. They’ll save you lots of money.”

I spent 10 minutes this evening composing a post when my cat walked across the keyboard and somehow closed the browser. Lost it all. When it came time to feed him later tonight I fed him a can of Wal-Mart Special Kitty instead of his usual Fancy Feast. That will teach him.
You're just as bad as racist white people. You generalize and discriminate due to race just like all other racists in this world.
Link me to how I’m discriminating against white people and what I’m holding back white people from. Show me what white people don’t have access to because I’m telling white people that they have to examine their position of privilege in this country. Show me how “you have to critically examine that you benefit from being white” is the same as doing or benefiting from this

I make my husband a sandwich every day for work. Once, I jokingly kissed it to show him that I made it “with love.” But then for some reason it stuck, and that just became the habit. Make sandwich, give it a little smooch, put into baggie. Except when I’m mad at him. Then that sandwich isn’t made with love. It gets no kiss. Yeah, enjoy that sandwich, jerkface. I hope it tastes like despair.
This is the most adorable petty revenge ever.
It says a lot about this country that universities won’t advise professors to modify their behavior to protect students with PTSD, but will advise professors to modify their behavior around a student open-carrying a gun.
It’s almost like we respect violence more than the survivors of it.

(KOLLER ‘ZURICH)
Inglewood, CA #BLACKLIVESMATTER
On Sunday, police responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked on Manchester Boulevard around 3:10 am. When police arrived, they engaged in a 45-minute long standoff before opening fire on the man and woman inside the vehicle, killing them both.
The woman was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting, and the man succumbed to his injuries after paramedics transported him to a local hospital.
The shooting seemed like an open and shut case until the next day. Mayor James Butts, while responding to questions about the shooting, opened up a huge can of worms — both the man and the woman were unconscious.
For at least 45 minutes, police attempted “to rouse” them in an effort “to de-escalate the situation,” said Butts.
After admitting that the couple was asleep, Butts quickly defended the officers, noting, “Obviously at some point they were conscious because somebody felt threatened.”
However, that notion has yet to be proven and is particularly unlikely due to the fact that not a single officer received so much as a scratch, nor did the couple have any reason to be violent.
Both of the victims were parents; Kisha Michael, 31, a single mother of three sons, and Marquintan Sandlin, 32, a single father of four daughters.
Families for both described them as devoted parents who made arrangements for care of their children while they took a night off.
“The police ain’t telling us nothing,” said Trisha Michael after being met with tight lips from the department.
“He was a loving father,” said Sandlin’s sister Leandra Faulkner. “All he cared about was his girls, getting them right.”
According to his relatives, Sandlin had a ‘rough life’ but had turned it around and was working as a successful truck driver.
Sadly, these children will now grow up knowing that their parents were taken from them by cops, scared of a sleeping couple.

What the fuck, were they aggressively snoring? Who opens fire on someone they just spent 45 minutes trying to wake up? Great. Now I’ve heard it all. Cops are afraid of unconscious people. 45 minutes of de-escalation? Did it ever once occur that if you try to wake someone up in a car with loud noise and they don’t wake up, medical attention may be needed?

Whaaaaaaaaat! Damn make it VIRAL!
This is why I hate the word ‘de-escalate’. It’s such bullshit most of the time, and it’s especially obvious bullshit when paired with words like ‘rouse’. Rousing people to de-escalate anything makes no sense whatsofuckingever. Sometimes I wonder if they just try to say as outrageous bullshit as they possibly can, to see what they can get away with. Unfortunately, it seems like they can get away with saying damn near anything. Next they’ll be saying they were threatened by someone’s headless corpse. It’s about as plausible.
When someone says there’s more than two genders and two sexual orientations.
Pfffffft aahahahahahahahahahaha.
Are you bothered by the fact that people like me exist? Does it just really upset you that I’m like…REAL? Poor baby, my existence must be so vexing for you.
and why would you use star for this. like if there’s anyone that would be all about cute and weird genders and pronouns and different orientations it would be star
And let the hate begin…I do love a good salting…fire away at me, your anger is funny to me!
No one’s angry mate. You being a baby and wanting to cry about the fact that I exist is funny to ME. You’re the one who’s being a toddler about other people existing in the world.
okay I’ve heard the “there are only two genders” bullshit before but since when are there only two sexual orientations? OP, do you not think bisexuals exist? is that what this is?
Don’t know if you’re being civil with me but I’ll be civil with you. Bisexual is, in my eyes, at least from what I’ve seen, younger people who have yet to decide on one or the other, confused maybe. But I don’t think it technically exists.
Me <- Has identified as bisexual since I was 12.
Me <- Is now 25.
Me <- Is engaged, and still bisexual.
You <- The actual person who is confused here. Not me.
I’m 32, genderqueer, and pansexual. I’m not fucking confused. I’m not waiting to choose “one or the other.” If anything, my interests have become broader as I’ve gotten older. I need people to knock it the fuck off with the biphobia and binarism.
I hope you’re joking because I laughed and cringed at the same time.
My child has a better understanding of how the world works than you. How do you even function on a daily basis?
Clearly you’re raising that kid wrong…
If raising my child to be caring, considerate, and understanding of others seems “wrong” to you, I have a lot of concerns about how YOU were raised.
When people tell you who they are, believe them. It’s that simple.
35. Bisexual. Know what I'm talking about.

Black History Month -- Support Black YouTube Creators.
It is well-documented that Black people face bias on a consistent level in all fields. YouTube is no different. And a lot of this has to do with YouTube FANS succumbing to their own subconscious biases and only subscribing to people who look like them.
Tumblr has a strong Black community that is supportive of #BlackExcellence, #BlackGirlMagic, #BlackLivesMatter, #BlackoutDay etc., and it is free and takes just SECONDS to subscribe to a YouTube channel. You want to support Black businesses? Support Black YouTubers. That shit is a job. It takes hours/days to edit and promote a 3 minute video. There are tons of great channels of all races and ethnicities and genders and sexuality, but if we can have a moment of honesty, mediocre white channels still can experience explosive growth where that is simply not possible for Black channels–until now.
I’m imploring you (regardless of race) to SHARE this post and SUBSCRIBE to every channel therein. You don’t necessarily have to like or watch any of their videos, but you probably will and that’s great! But know that BRAND DEALS (read: THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) go to creators with high subscriber counts, and we as a group have been disadvantaged since the beginning of the platform.
You lose NOTHING by subscribing to the channels here, but you will be making it possible for hundreds of talented (or at least relatively driven) Black creators to be seen by brands that are only looking at numbers. Help even the playing field!
THE ASK
I’m going to list some Black YouTube channels.
REBLOG THIS AND ADD HOWEVER MANY BLACK CHANNELS YOU CAN THINK OF
–avoiding repetition if possible. If you can’t think of any, LIKE THIS POST, AND SPEND 10 MINUTES SUBSCRIBING TO THEIR CHANNELS. We aren’t powerless. We never have been. Sometimes it just takes deliberate action to make things fair.
