  1. Well I'm glad you like Chet, but I must apologise wholeheartedly and unreservedly for calling your picture posting abilities into question, all I was getting was a red square earlier for some reason.

    after I replied...I thought that's what you were talking about...

    It's always been a good link for me - might be one of those "casche" things...

    anway - for everyone that can't see it - it was a beaded glove for wanking with.

    badda boom - tish.

  2. I often see people slinking along a hedge on my street like they're looking for something. Professional woman on a bike, elderly guy, neds, all sorts. I often see one of my neighbours inserting packages in this hedge. Real smooth. I actually have no idea what's going on as the packages are quite big. Could be pirate DVDs but why go to the effort to conceal them in a rainy Aberdeen hedge?

    muggles....tsk tsk.

  3. apparently every single person has 3 psychopathic thoughts every day of their life.

    it's having the mental stability to y'know...not do them that's the key.

    if it includes Y fronts AND a dead body, is that two?....or just one?

    actually, on a sort of serious note...I was watching hostel on Channel 5 the other day...and the (rather piss poor makeup, but gruesome none the less) "blowtorch to the eye" scene... I was thinking - there are people in the world that could do that without question.

    I can imagine it - but never ever do it... or peeling off someone's skin and throwing acid on them...nasty.

    (do you think I listened to too much Pungent Stench as a kid?)

  4. hahahaha.

    know that feeling all too well.

    it was always a pleasure having absolute headcases singing what was number 1 that week to you.

    Are you talking about the customer who would come in and just ask for the single numbers, not the actual song?

    a conversation would go:

    him- "i want singles number 1, 4, 8, 11, 14, 23 and 27."

    me - "...ok, what are those?"

    him - "I have no idea"

    me - "right...any ideas what they go like?"

    and the hilarity started, every monday, 9 in the morning.

    he he.....could well have been him! (playing his own games!)...

    was he from "up north" ? (peterhead, if I remember correctly?)

    fred told him to "fook off" once...I think that lasted for a week...

  5. when i worked in one up, a few years back, this woman came into the shop on a busy day or evening leading up to christmas, she walked up to the desk and asked if we had ever heard that song with sharleen spiteri and peter kay? We said yes, but told her that we didn't have the single in stock. She then asked if she could listen to it, we told her that unfortunately she couldn't because we didn't have it in stock. She then asked if she had a solo album, we checked, no, she never, we politely told the customer that unfortunately we didn't as there wasn't one actually out or even recorded, she then asked if she could see it, and then asked to listen to it AGAIN, this went on for 15 minutes or so. The whole thing just became ridiculous, and a customer behind her was like "excuse me, take your business downstairs, the staff down there are a lot less pretentious and will be more willing to help you".

    he he...ace. We used to get one twat in trying to buy every single from the top ten that week, then try to take them back the next week (the ones that'd dropped out) and said that they were damaged when he bought them...but, when he'd ask for a tune, we'd feign ignorance and get him to hum it, or sing it - every week. (I think this is a classic pastime in a local record shop)...

    or the spotty, druggie ravers that would grunt at you to "skip it on" through their pile of 43 "all the same" mokum, gabba and happy hardcore 12" - when we were in diamond street, you could have a nice wee break round the back "looking" for 12"s - "I am so sorry, I am afraid I can only find 10 out of the 30 records you want to [listen to and not] buy today"

  6. it's not going on a strop, as swingin' ryan has stated, i have only ever been pushed to be rude by one customer ever, when he was very drunk at 7.45am, convinced he could buy booze at this time on a sunday. i was feeling terrible at this point having had an incredibly awful sleep amongst other personal reasons. this guy then proceeded to hurl torrents of abuse at me after i calmly informed him that he, no, he could not buy a bottle of vodka at 7.45 on a sunday morning.

    some of it was stuff i hadn't heard since i was bullied for years at school and i didn't think i should have had to dealt with something like this. oh yeah, then he tried to swing a punch at me as well.

    are you honestly telling me that i should have remained calm and polite to this fuckhead? i am always polite and calm whenever i serve anyone, but i don't feel i should be treated like some sort of mechanoid devoid of human feeling. if someone can't use manners, as far as i'm concerned they don't deserve any from me - there's one woman in particular who when i first served her, i smiled, asked how she was today and whether she had a good day: i got no response. she looked up at me blankly and carried on putting her shopping away as if i didn't exist. why should she deserve politeness after that? it's not throwing a strop, it's just being polite and expecting something back in return, just a response is all i would like back.

    perhaps it doesn't help that i work in a place notorious for cunty customers and shoplifters though, ha!

    you see, a bit of context always helps a situation.

    from "earlier posts" it all seemed that we were talking about "grumpy staff"...

    if you're getting feichies asking for vodka at 7.45 on a sunday morning, then throwing punches, it's a tad different to being a bit miffy to someone who won't say please or thank you!....

    I'd have given him the bottle....IN HIS FACE, *CUNT*, *BASH*, *FUCK YE*....and, calllm.

    me, I am all about manners, and I try to be a cool cucumber if someone's being a bit of a cock. but, if someone's having a go - I'd walk away (rightly so!)...get a manager in - they are paid more to take abuse (and should have been on an assertion training course or de0escalation).

    it's not worth it in the end.

    but, I thought we were talking about humphy people, not psychos.

  7. yes, ever since putting my address in 'location' i've received numerous threats from people on here who find my opinion-polarising posts just too risque. I actually am currently reading a death-threat i received from lepeep in the post after i disagreed with his opinion about the service industry. He claims he's going to send me anthrax next, you know.
