Let me tell you a little something about living life on the edge.

I always thought you are required to show your reciept when you leave best buy with items you purchased. A friend of mine, who is a manager at a major electronics retailer, said they can ask to see it, but I don't have to show them unless they have proof/witnessed theft.

So today I walked out of BestBuy with 4 laptops in my cart(that I purchased), and the kid at the door says "may I see your reciept please?" I ignored him as I walked out, and of course he followed me and asked again. I said "No."

There was an awkward silence for about 5 seconds, then I said "Make a decision."

He said "Ok", and he pulls a cell phone out of his pocket, starts to dial something, then turns around and walks inside.

That was the end of that. So I guess it really is true. Apparently, if it's a membership place, like Sams or Costco, it is in their agreement that they have to check your reciept.

It's my little way of sticking it to the man. Although I don't really know how I'm sticking it to him.

Oh, and as I was loading the laptops, I almost sharted.

Cookies/congrats/beers/ytmnd comments are all welcome.

Stay tuned, tomorrow I'm going to take a tag off the mattress and afterwards, I'll put gas in the car with the engine running. I'll let you know how it goes.

I gotta keep going against the grain, I'm such a rebel

UPDATE: I couldn't wait till tomorrow, so I pulled the tag off the mattress tonight. Let me tell you, it was an empowering, harrowing experience. The adrenaline rushes through the body as it's happening. I literally felt like superman. it brought me back to the days of yore, when I used to take lunch money from the skinny kid with the funny hat.

I'm the man now, dog.

Next up: parking in "Mother to be" spot at Target, stepping on sidewalk crack, and picking at a scab


UPDATE 2: well, my body is full of scabs, so I figured I'd tackle one of the pus filled ones. I decided to take a slow approach as I was in the middle of going number 2 as I was doing this, and I didn't want any surprises. The scab was more of a festering boil that had since dried up.There was a small lip on the end of the scab facing the floor, so I decided to begin picking on that end. I don't trim my nails, so I had plenty of fingers to choose from on my excavation adventure. I usually use the nail on my pinkie finger, which is the same one I use to scoop earwax out of my ear, but I decided to be bold and use the middle finger as my mini-digger.

I gently lifted the scab flap up with my finger shovel and pinched the flap in between my nail and the fleshy part underneath my nail. I then slowly started to pull back. I was met with some resistance in the middle of the scab, where it had a pretty good grip on my oiled up body. This didn't deter me, as I was focused on one goal: getting that scab off.

I was about halfway done when I realized I would now be able to grab the scab flap with two fingers: My middle finger and my thumb. Once I pulled the scab 3/4 of the way back, a small amount of yellow pus began oozing out underneath. This disgusted me a little, and I almost gave up. However, I like to finish what I start, so I closed my eyes, recited a few quotes from "Back to the Future" and yanked the remaining scab back with all the force I could muster. I let out a soft muffled groan, almost like the sound of a cat in labor. I opened my eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. It was done. I dabbed the area with a wetnap, and covered it with a snoopy band aid. Confident of my latest conquest, I rushed to the computer to type this.

WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT EATING BEFORE YOU READ THE ABOVE PASSAGE.

Congrats...

You were a d!ck to a guy barely making more than minimum wage so that you prove something that isn't worth proving. :)

I admire the courage to knock a minimum wage earning bully down to size. His ass saw you standing in line and knew you paid. Why should you have to deal with that noise?

:beer:

eh, I smiled as I said it. I also pranced as I left. I don't think I said anything in a dickish way. I hope he didn't take it personally. Do you think I should write a letter of apology, just in case his feelings were hurt?

Come to think of it, I also said No to the Best Buy kid that tried to push the warranty on me. He blatantly lied to my face and said that these laptops are "known for breaking down within the first month" and "Athlons won't work well with Microsoft software" - I hope his feelings weren't hurt when I declined... I'd better have an apology form letter ready. :)

I saw two guys walking out of Walmart thurs night, each had a 12 pack of pop (1 coke, 1 Dr pepper) in hand. The door person stopped them and asked for a receipt, which their blue collar sheepish asses willingly coughed up. yes, I said that. I walked through (not past...through) the transaction and glared at the door person, with no confrontation.

WTF, walmart...two 12-packs of soda/pop

This is the type of post that consistently gets voted "Best Of" on CL (mostly due to the near-shart experience), when in reality it's more like a 6.5/10.

YTMND, if you insist.
