#maimerd's personal rant

[maimerd]

Holy fuck do I need to start accepting more clients than I am right now. I need to get out of the hell hole that is my current full time job and away from the butthurt co-workers trying to blame their wrong doings on others who are completely innocent of such awful things.

[maimerd]

Holy shit. This dude is flipping out for no good reason. This business is my lively hood. It is my career. Just because I’m an artist, in no way means that I will ever work for free or give you things for free. Especially when you want me to re-take photos of an entire event. No. That is so disrespectful. Do you expect medical care, gasoline, food, entertainment, heat, electricity, clothing, etc for free? If you expect me to be free, then you best expect everything else to be free. If you don’t expect them to be free, you sure as hell better not expect my artwork to be free.

You know what sucks? Having previous clients contact me, asking me/basically telling me, that I need to create all new free photographs for them, because I offered them additional photos, that they never took up the opportunity for, last year for the few weeks after their wedding, and then was bombarded with nothing but absolute hatred for me and my artwork. Well then sweetheart, next time actually do your research yourself and find what you want, instead of you know, waiting for the week before your event to find a photographer last minute.

I’m just flabbergasted that they would actually assume that these photographs they want me to take, a year later, would actually be free of charge. No, you’re going to pay me at least $400-$600 to create a completely new set of marital photographs. And this time, I most definitely would not be keeping the price off your contract so you can hide it from your wife. Red flags all over the place.

Hey everyone, just a tip for Jo-Ann trip survival, never touch the fabric once it touches the cutting counter for the team member to cut. It is extremely bothersome, not to mention disrespectful, I’ve also heard them say it’s against policy to allow customers to touch the fabric while cutting, to the team member. You may think you’re helping, but you’re just pissing them off. Now they have to worry about you possibly setting them up for a needless lawsuit. They get it, you’re trying to be nice but you’re just stressing them out majorly. They know how to do their fucking job. They’re not going to jip you on fucking fabric, if you’re so worried about that, get an extra 1/4th of fabric or more and cut it your fucking self. Holy hell.

There really should be a way on Facebook pages to see an entire list of everyone who likes your page, no matter their privacy settings. There’s one person, who likes several of my pages, that I do not want to have any contact/connection with and they’re still liking my posts. This makes me nervous that they will show up to an event I’m covering, or a designated photo session area for mini sessions for clients, when they are unwanted. This person is, in my mind at least, a borderline stalker with how they go onto my pages, find links to my other blogs/websites, and then follow my posts on those sites as well. I mean, if I’m blocking you from my personal profiles, you should damn well know that you made me uncomfortable in some way and that I don’t want to have anything to do with you. So don’t go around finding links to my pages on other sites and following me there. That’s creepy as fuck. They’re making me so uncomfortable, but because of their privacy settings I can’t ban them from my page because their name won’t show up in my list of “people who like this page”. FFFFFFF get your shit together Facebook and help people protect themselves from creepers.

I had an asshole woman come into the store today and throw a temper tantrum because she didn’t get her way. She then proceeded to antagonize and threaten another customer in front of her and then make fun of my physical appearance. I fucking hate humans. They’re so worthless. I just stared at the woman while she continued to throw her tantrum and then told her very loudly and cheerfully to have a GREAT day when I gave her her bag. I really wish employees were able to back talk to customers and defend themselves instead of take bullshit abuse from complete imbeciles.

[maimerd]

Hey bitchface. I was doing that. I was just going to pass out if I didn't eat my sandwich soon. So thanks for assuming I'm not greeting customers and voicing it over the fucking radios 10 minutes after I said I was going on break making everyone think I was the one you were talking about.

If I cut communication off with you, whether it’s on or off the internet, there’s a reason. I don’t need to justify myself. Just know that you have somehow made me incredibly uncomfortable. Don’t harass me and stalk me on various social media platforms where I become anxious that you’re going to randomly show up somewhere just to harass me in person. Just please respect my wishes, and leave me alone. You should never force yourself into someone’s life if you make them uncomfortable.
