Old dude came in the shop and when I said "lemme know if you have any questions" he goes "what was the name of Alexander the Great's horse," thinking he was so funny. I told him Bucephalus, and he was so disappointed. Like his whole day was hanging on beating me at trivia. He says "you're only the second person who knew that" and I said "well, probably the third if you count Alexander the Great." He left without buying anything, and did not say goodbye. I think I honestly hurt his weird little feelings! Sorry I'm a bitch, old man!

I had one of these once, bookshop customer randomly challenged me to name, quote, ‘the only word in English where two u’s are next to each other’, and when I immediately said ‘vacuum’ he looked disappointed and when I pointed out it isn’t even the only word with two u’s next to each other in English and offered ‘continuum’ as an example he looked like I’d just punched his ribcage out his back like a Mortal Kombat character

People claiming this didn’t happen have never worked a day in retail

when I worked at teavana when that was still a thing, there was this guy who would come into the store, order a tea, and then corner the smallest female-presenting employee to ask her ridiculous trivia questions about obscure teas we didn’t even sell for as long as he could get away with before the other employee in the store could come rescue her.

he did this at both locations at the mall where I worked until we banned him. apparently this had also been happening at a few other locations near us in and out of state until eventually word of this bullshit got all the way to corporate, and they sent out a memo to every teavana in the country telling them not to serve this man, with his picture and everything.

and that is the story of how one man’s incredible dedication to being creepy and annoying got him fucking excommunicated from teavana for all of time (until they went out of business lol).

ow many ZIGGURATS ave ye gott lad

the funny thing about vine comps is they invariably dont have the title for individual ones attatched (idk how you even would) and usually the title is the KEY to getting the thing but it only exists in cultural context now and it makes it even harder to explain if you Werent There, if you werent active on the net at the time. because even if you never read it first hand you saw it being used in reaction with the original intent enough times that *you have the original meaning parsed in your head without words* and without the vocabulary to explain

once when I was a teenager with a metal lip ring a massive summer lightning storm with warm rain broke over my house so I ran around in the grass screaming ZEUS IS IMPOTENT! THOR IS A CUCKOLD! while green and red lightning bolts crackled through the purple clouds overhead. nothing happened but my anxious friends made me knock it off

devout atheist: This was foolish behavior because getting hit by lightning is no joking matter (downvote) but slandering the "gods" was kind of based (upvote)

devout theist: An idiot was given proof of Heaven's benevolent lenience toward the words of the insane, or Madwoman's Privilege. It was foolish because as Jesus instrcuted we are not to tempt the Lord

devout Erisian: She thought it was funny so you weren't smote on the occasion but don't try telling Her the same joke twice

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue
