Not really knowing the online game lingo, the first line in this one is a bit... interesting.

Old, I know. Whatever.

I was nearly raped by Catholic School girls. Seriously, they were from an all girls school in Brighton and they were the bosses step-daughters in the shop I worked when I was about 15. I was pretty young, and they were pretty forward... very forward. and I erred. (Damn, damn, damn, damn, DAMN, DAMN!!, DAMN!!! )

I honestly can't tell what erring involves in such a case.

Who's Trip Hawkins?

Right, here's your stuff. Get out before 3DOKid gets back. This is for your own safety.

...?

No wait. Did he really post that?

I'm pretty confident we have a close-door policy on kids.

I mean, we laughed at the twinkle, twlight, sparkle, whatever that new-age vampire crap is didn't we? We mocked him general. I used 'letmegooglethatforyou' and I remember being quite rude.

Now this?

Who is Trip Hawkins?

WTF?

he took my line

I swear I am forced to “re educate” members of the playstation generation daily - they are the most ignorant bunch of snapper heads - hell they have the world at their fingertips but dont think anything existed before them - I give up.
I’m with Trip on the catholic school girls though;) Even experienced them first hand at my catholic high school

What is your bizarre vendetta about? And why can't you actually present an argument to support it or something besides make up weird insults?

Firstly the insult is a Ford Fairlane reference - just trying to keep my need to off load profanities in check.
Secondly , I work with teens - daily
I have many many examples of ill informed statements from them such as “I didnt know sega made consoles” or watching them play GTA IV for hours when all they do is respawn choppers and drop cars on coppers whilst they continue to exclaim they pwn noobs.
Like you I have major issues with ignorance .

So at best, these people were seven when Sega abandoned the Dreamcast. You work with kids who are ignorant of Sega's console business for good reason and you call them ignorant, among other things. Sounds like you're working the wrong job.

I'd ban you too. But the kids love you.

Whoa! where did that come from? I just used Sega as an example - could have also used the fact that most can't change a tyre or they're complete ineptitude at cooking meals.

As for being in the wrong job - I could easily say that your comments about your customers indicate you shouldn't be in retail - but I think your actually right.

When I was in hospitality I saw a guy almost finish his very expensive meal and then proceed to place a dead insect from his pocket in it.He then claimed that it was in there from the start in order to get his meal for free. I simply removed the insect and handed him back the plate stating there was no insect in his meal. I got out of hospitality because I nearly came to physical blows with that kind of dumb-ass several times.

So as a wise Californian once wrote ,
whatever.

...and calm.

We had something like that. I worked at a frozen yogurt shop just before college, and somebody came in with a dead fly in their thing demanding a different flavor. I unscrewed the safery nozzle and showered her the tiny screen the yogurt passes through. That was one nimble dead fly.

Anyway, I chase off the idiots so that I am left with the smarter brand of customer that makes more money and doesn't move their lips when reading the signs on bathroom doors. This shall be paradise.
