So I was in a hurry later on today and stopped at Long John Silvers to get the baked fish platter. Well, I shoulda known.... what do I I get but a motherfuckin' tard for a counterperson. Anyway, I have to give the tard my order twice and then the goggle-eyed shitbird has to call his supervisor over to ask what the difference is between baked and fried fish. Once numbnuts figures that out he spends another five minutes trying to decipher the cash register and make change out of a ten spot. Then braindamage serves up the order with fried instead of baked fish.... at which point I gave up and just took the shit and sat down and ate it and left
Question for my fellow Bevelators is ......how should I have handled the tard? I mean I wanted to punch the goofy looking fuck repeatedly in the face and steal all the money out of the cash register while screaming "you goofy motherfucking tard shitbird motherfucker." But I didn't know if that would be viewed as an appropriate Bevelator response.
So I thought that I'd ask in event this sort of thing ever happens to me again.
Thanks for your help. Aloha!

Goggle Eyed poopbird. Priceless. I've also heard tards referred to as window lickers.
As far as how I would have handled it, I generally am amused and enjoy speaking with tards, so I probably would have had a few chuckles and if he couldn't get my order right, I'd probably eat it if it was close, but leave the food and get my money back if it was something I didn't want. Then I'd go somewhere else, because even if he does get the order right, chances are he drooled in your fries.

I think you handled it correctly, polite in person and then sharing the amusement with the rest of us. I had one in Home Depot the other day, I passed him by as well as all the Africans, (no slang here, there is a large actual African immigrant population in that area that don't know shit about construction and are hard to understand but somehow work there), black women, and mexicans (just because I can't understand them, not because they don't know their construction) and found the best guy to look for in a home depot, the older white guy that probably did construction all his life and is now retired and working at home depot to pass the time. On the money as always and gave me great advice on what I needed.

You handled it correctly, Bonafide...I'm usually very, very patient with them because I actually feel badly. I mean, they HAVE to serve someone and odds are, it's going to be you.
By the way, Wu, EVERY Home Depot has the retired former construction worker who has seen it and done it all.

I know every one does, I was just saying that in ours he is harder to find. Most probably have a lot of them but he is a rare find in this home depot because of the area. Just was stating I don't waste my time with anyone else. I actually I go to the one the DC sniper struck at.

I actually I go to the one the DC sniper struck at. That DC sniper shit was crazy. We couldn't go to the damn grocery store without wondering if we were gonna get shot. Crazy times. |

Today I was ranting at my last class of the day about how bad their grades were when one of my kids says, "But Mr. doogiehowsermd, I have ADD". I replied, "James, ADD and being retarded are two different things". I knew I shouldn't have said it, but now looking back its pretty funny.

That is pretty funny, and depending on how old the kid was, could be even funnier. If he was 3rd grade or below, its worth a double exalt. |

There's a website called Gawker.com which is basically about the New York media, gossip, etc. Anyway, there's a feature called "Gawker Stalker" where readers send in their celebrity sightings. Well, at the very end of the colum, I come across this:
"Saw a very professional and serious-looking Chris Burke, Corky from the darling family drama Life Goes On on the 1 train this morning. He got on somewhere on the Upper West Side, believe it was the 96th street stop. Was wearing a white short sleeved dress shirt with dark tie and blue dress pants. He had quite the full beard as well. Carrying a shopping bag full of well organized items. He found a seat on the crowded train (A wasn't really running so I took the 1 as an alternative and the train was pretty damn full this morning) and began to read his book."
The funny thing is, a publicist that I used to know said that she worked with Corky when she was a flack for ABC. She also said that he was a dick. For some reason, that made me laugh.

Well, I'm thinkin' about going back to the Long John Silvers someday when I have time to fuck with the tard. Like maybe go in with like $4.50 in small change in a paper bag and order the $4.79 two-piece fish snack with fries and then pour out the whole bag of change on the counter.. When (if) the tard comes up short I'd like start ranting and raving that he's trying to rob me
