I went to go get some movies last night…minding my own biz and standing in line to ask if they had a copy of “My Super Ex-girlfriend” in cause I loves me some Uma… There was a big 6’8 Samoan looking guy in front of me along with his lady. All the sudden this couple comes walking in looking snobby and having that air of self importance around them...

They go to the back of the line....The blockbuster dude checks the person in at his desk out, and then the Samoan dude starts to walk to the desk then that snobby couple jumps out of line and goes up to the desk. The Samoan dude was baffled and looked like wtf?! Then the couple (mind you they both look like a young version of Mr and Mrs Howell from Gilligans Island) give me and homeboy the Ice Grill?! Then tells the clerk “Oh sorry we didn’t know there was a line….” I was like bitch you know damn well there was a line.

Anyway…they proceed to take 20 mins at the desk cause they don’t have a fucking Blockbuster card….asking all kinds of questions n shit…all the while they keep looking back at me and the Samoan dude giving us mean mugs and shoulder shrugs…..

Me and homeboy looked at each other like “Lets stomp this motherfucker out” and this the dude kept looking around like he was the shit…Now me and the Samoan dude are huge compared to this fool despite his fake as frowns…..he looked softer than a pair of silicone breasts, sitting in a bowl of ice cream on top of a Will Smith Cd….I seem to run into rude people all the time….Is it just me or do you guys run into them too?

Did they have that movie in stock?

You have a Blockbuster?

FunkMistress said:

Yeah Scott Baio is the lead

TMPletz said:

Poor poor TMP... I know out in the terrible cold there are not movie stores...

Sinister said:

We had two Blockbusters, and they both closed down. I think there's still a Hollywood Video in town, but just try getting a movie from about the only video rental place here in a town of 80,000 or so.

TMPletz said:

Have you tried those mail in movie places? Netflix? I think Blockbuster has that service too...I think you can sign up online for it?

Sinister said:

damn

I don't rent enough to make it worthwhile. The last time I rented was two years ago.

TMPletz said:

I hear that tho...We got 5 free rental coupons that had to be used by the end of the year so that was why I was there...The quality of movies have really fallen off...Did you like Superman Returns btw?

My employer sent me to Circuit City to get some new computers for our office. They only had one guy working in the computer section, and he was helping me pick out the computers. I was in the middle of asking him something about a monitor, and this impatient old whore comes power-walking over to us and interrupts us and is like "will it give me a back massage and cook me breakfast in the morning?". We both just laughed and I figured he would go back to helping me. Instead, she keeps talking and is like "I'm here to get some computers and I have some questions..." and he walks off and starts helping her instead. They never come back, and I'm left standing there for like 15 minutes, so I finally just got mad and complained to the customer service department, then walked out. I haven't shopped in there since.

Then, about 2 weeks later, I went to Best Buy to return something. The girl in customer service was on the phone when I walked up to the counter, so she told me she would be with me in a moment. So I just stood there and waited. Guess who comes in, and walks right in front of me and plops her shit down on the counter and starts pulling her receipt out - that BITCH again!

I was getting ready to yell at her because I was so mad from the last time, and I shot a glare at the customer service girl while she was still on the phone. As soon as she hung up, she tells the lady, "I'll be with you in a moment", then motions me to go over to another counter, just to get away from her, and she waits on me first instead, thank god.

Sinister said:

Yep. That's on my list to buy. If I really like a movie, I'll buy it because I know I'll watch it over and over.

I don't know why people seem to genuinely believe that they are more important than everyone else.

I mean, I'm more important to me, but I know everyone else doesn't feel the same.

I'm pretty sure the whole of civilization will break down into total anarchy very soon.

that's cause U on the east side... they can't drive on that side of town either

jeez. someones grumpy.

you should have each picked one up and moved them to the back of the line.

Sinister said:

Once they knew there was a line, they should have gone to the end of the line... You should have said something...

The fact that K-Fed is a celebrity assures our doom...

purplekisses said:

Ohh they drive so well in the westside my ass...at least we have car insurance over here...

miho9000 said:

No but people should not be rude

ufoclub said:

The Samoan guy looked like he was going to eat the husband...He was huge! He looked like he weighed at least 350...

After they kept ice grilling the whole store it became more about who the hell do you think you are than if they cut in line or not...Really bad attitudes

come back when you actually do sock someone at a blockbuster.
Everyone has almost, coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Its called self control. This aint the Danny Bonaduche show.

Might sound a bit off topic but your story reminds me of an incident at the gym a couple of weeks ago....I was just about to start blowdrying my hair when this ugly little naked dude comes, stands next to me , grabs the blowdryer without even asking me and starts blowdrying his dick and then his whole body...mind you, he was soak n wet and butt naked !

I kinda gave him the stare of death and threatened him, telling him that if he didn´t have any manners I could teach him the hard way but he didn´t really understand me and kept blowdrying his dick !

Good gawd...That makes my story look like Disney movie...lord...

KoolEaze said:

I would've grabbed him and pressed that hot ass blowdrier on his balls then kicked him in his teeth!

Nah, man...that was my initial thought , too...but, you know...you gotta Live 4 Love

Sinister said:

OK...I can't fight my way out of a paper bag. But if that had happened to me, ESPECIALLY with a giant dude standing there to back me up, I would've made a big stink and had them go to the end of the line.

Once I was at Taco Bell with a co-worker. Together we weighed probably 200lbs soaking wet (this was a lo-ong time ago). This pair of roided-up jocks were behind us on line, (both looking like NFL linebackers), and as we're at the counter, one of them "accidentally" took my friend's mexican pizza and peeked inside to see if it was his (even though the lady behind the counter handed it to my friend).

My friend jokingly told him that his food was ruined, and the musclehead abruptly told him to "get over it" in a dismissive sort of way.

Anyway - my buddy was not the type to shy away, so he told the guy that; (a) he was kidding, (b) to get a sense of humor, and (c) that it must be real hard to go through life being such a tough guy.

I almost sh*t in my pants, but I stood there stone-faced, "backing him up".

Thank GOD that they paid him no mind. Otherwise, they would've swept the floors with us.

Getting into a fight would just be stupid. Glad you showed self-control.
