Happy Stupid Day

by

Today wasn’t one of my better days. I broke down all my freight and things were going well, that was until the store opened. It’s geriatric discount day and everyone came into shop. My first customer bought a prepaid cellphone card, and in Oregon we have a 911 tax, 75 cents goes to the state to fund 911 calls since less and less people are using landlines and moving to cellphones. And this customer was bitching about how he shouldn’t have to pay this tax because he never needs to call 911… Kinda makes me wish there was a program where you need to signup just in case you need to use 911, and if you don’t signup for it then you can’t dial it with your phone. Then on the off chance where they need to call 911 and can’t then we can at least say we’re thinning the herd.

Then I had to help a bitchy lady with a camera purchase. She wanted me to pick out the SD card for her because she didn’t understand how storage capacity works. She literally told me in her own words “Please do my thinking for me.” Then she also wanted me to pull out the camera, put the batteries in and the SD card before buying it… My boss gave me the ok to do so, so I did. And I may have “accidentally” set the SD card to read only mode. :v

I also had to activate a phone for someone and help another who didn’t know how to turn his phone on because apparently the red button where it said “PWR” alluded him. But they were much nicer so I took the time to help them, even though reading instructions was too hard for them. Everyone else was actually quite pleasant. And my bosses didn’t get on my case about not getting the freight finished or put away, probably because I looked like I was going to beat someone with a wii controller. Or shove a selfie stick up someones arse. That would actually be a good use of one now that I think about it. A selfie AND a colonoscopy all in one? That could be marketable!

Oh and on the ride home we almost got hit by another dumbshit’s car because he was too busy looking in another direction while swerving behind us. They looked to be about my age so they weren’t senile, just fucking dumb. There were lots of dumb people today. Dumb dumb dumb.

I’d have gone to sleep by now but needed a bite to eat and needed to take out a bit of my rage in Elder Scrolls Online. I escaped Cold Harbour and made it to the world of the living near a ship. I made my character a Khajit Sorcerer. It’s been pretty fun so far, but it’ll take some getting used to. This isn’t like Skyrim where I can live out my random fantasy of being a khajit tailed cyberninja with dragon wings, troll moons, pogo hammers and anything else that could feed my absurd imagination. But it certainly did bring back good feelings like I used to have in Uru when I still had a warm happy feeling for that game. I’ll need to get back to it. ESO that is… People seem to be friendlier there.

Cyber bullying knows no bounds.

One thing I can’t stand in any arena, albeit real life or gaming is bullying. Especially cyber bullying which in some ways can be worse than regular bullying. A regular bully has to confront you face to face, while a cyber bully is usually some socially awkward pimple faced douchecanoe who dwells deep within their mom’s basement, trolling teh internetz with creamed jeans and a cheetos stained crotch (you’re welcome for the visual btw). These people take to the internet and use it as their soap box to preach all kinds of stupid unto the web, where they gather followers in the pursuit of freedumb.

But enough about that. Lets get to the whole reason why I’m even writing this up in the first place. I follow a blog called Not In The Kitchen Anymore where a gamer shares pictures and audio of guys who instantly turn into knuckle dragging cavemen at the sign of a female. Recently she has received quite a bit of a backlash.

On July 26th, I was playing Black Ops 2 on my Xbox 360. Another player in the lobby took issue with me being there, and basically started attacking me over my gender. He kept asking if I was on my period, implying that I was fat or a lesbian, and making jokes like “Hey, ya’ll know why uh, women shouldn’t have drivers licenses? Cuz there’s no highway between the bedroom and the kitchen.” It’s all documented in this entry.

It started off light, then it just got outright creepy.

After the match concluded, he sent me a text message that said “slizzy” (which is, apparently, slang for “slut”). I replied, “Keep digging yourself into a hole dude.” He then proceeded to send me a voice message that said, “I’m gonna impregnate you with triplets and make you have a very late term abortion. Strict mental abuse. Hahaha.”

You can find a recording of the voice message here.

The responses to this weren’t much better.

So, when did pointing out peoples stupidity become crying for help? She has the right idea recording these nimrods and posting their responses. More people (women, men, anyone having some kind of sexist or racial issue) should look into this method just in case some wanker comes about to leave a steaming pile. I’m all for putting peoples stupidity on public display.

Heck, even I do that. Although on PC it can be more fun (depending on the game of course). I run a bunch of servers for my group that are available for the public, being that they’re public it obviously means that anyone is welcome to join. If the person who happens to join is being a thorn in someones side (ruining the gameplay, or just being a horses arse) it merits some fun admin trolling followed by a permaban. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way everywhere, resulting in examples such as the ones this gamer is going through.
