Well, if it was a poster of a Mox....There is a giant M:tG poster on the wall.
On the other hand. I think one of these companies that are manufacturing diamonds need to make some of them into Dice. They'd make a killing.

That would actually make kind of a pretty jewelry set....a clear d20 with like 3 clear d10s or d8s on either side of it on a silverish looking wire/chain with matching d10/d8 earrings. Probably wouldn't want any of the dice, with possible exception being the d20, too large...then it gets tacky looking.
And on to my stupid customer stories for today. The gift shop I work in has most of our Christmas items on sale for 50% off. We have signs posted around the shop to alert customers to this fact. We happen to have a ton of Ohio State stuff, which is selling like hotcakes right now. This lady brings over several not inexpensive OSU items and I start ringing her up. When I tell her the total she goes bug-eyed and starts getting upset
Her: "Aren't they 50% off?"
Me: "No Ma'am, only Christmas items are on sale...like the ornaments over there" I pointed out a few OSU Christmas items that qualified
Her: "Well...I'm buying them for Christmas gifts for (some relative I can't remember)...why aren't they half off?"
I couldn't believe this lady...she got my "you've-got-a-third-eye" look. I'd like to know where she shops that that works "Oh, you're buying this as a Christmas gift for someone...wonderful...it's half off then" In that case let me get that big screen TV as a gift for myself at 50% off

Ok, two things from my 9 hour shift:
Idiot:Hi do you like have that um like theat err penguin movie?
*A few minutes trying to figure out which one she meant*
Me: Do you mean Happy Feet, the one with the dancing penguins?
Idiot: Yeah, like um, that one yeah.
Me: That doesn't come out in the cinemas until the 26th of December, so it won't be out of DVD until sometime next year.
Idiot: Yeah, I know. I just like saw the ad on the like TV, I thought you like would have it on like DVD first though.
Me: Ooookk. Well we don't, sorry I can't help you. Have a nice day.
Idiot: *starts to yell obscenities at me because I didn't have the DVD*
Me: *hangs up the phone*
Just, whoa.
Later in the night, a guy brings back a DVD a day late. Hands it over and says that he didn't like it. Tough mate.
Idiot #2: Errr, good I get my money back because I didn't like the DVD? Or what about knocking the overdues fees off love?
Me: Sorry, I'm not allowed to do that.
Idiot #2: Well fuck you then, I'll talk to your boss tomorrow.
Ahuh, have fun with that moron. Pete will probably charge you extra, especially if you still have that joint stuck behind your ear, like you did when you came into the store.

I had a great one yesterday:
Lady: "YOU CAN'T DISCONNECT ME I GOTS A BREATHIN MACHINE"
Me: "Ah...actually medical codes don't protect against disconnect for non pay. <<only life codes do...if all you've got is a damn breathing machine it's assumed you won't die between your home and the hospital.>> Also...you don't have medical codes on this account ma'am. Did you ever...CALL us and request medical codes?"
Lady: "I've got alzheimers and asthma and I'm a #$%#$ AMPUTEE! and I got heart problems and cancer! YOU CAN'T TURN OFF MY POWERRRRR"
Me: "Um...actually...if you don't pay 326.00 by the end of the day today...we can. Also, if you continue to use that language with me I will disconnect this phone call."
Lady: "GIVE ME YOUR %$%^$% SUPERVISORRRRR***click***
I love hanging up on idiots. Also, how can one person have alzheimers, asthma, heart problems, cancer, and only ONE LEG and not off themselves for the rest of humanity. Gee lady I might have believed you if you were the first...10th...hell the 20th person to say that. But you're closer to the 200th person to heap it on.

Your priorities about when you don´t want to live anymore, seem to change with age.
When I look at my grandparents, I always think, if I´m ever like that, then please someone shoot me.
Understand that I love my grandparents and would miss them dearly, but if the roles were reversed and I would have Alzheimers (grandpa) bad enough not to be able to remember the names of my grandkids (they only have two) or even kids, couldn´t dress myself anymore, have next to no eyesight (my grandma) and have pains in nearly all the joints all my waking hours, then I wouldn´t give a damn about my kids. If they love me, they would understand why I wouldn´t want this kinda live anymore.[/quote]
My point was rather it's not possible. Everyone lies [god I feel like House]. It's true, though. I had a woman one time tell me i needed to reconnect her because her son needed his defibrilator.

Today a girl argued with me about what our card reader can and cannot do, and then called me a liar and wanted to talk to my boss. She wouldn't even listen when I tried to explain, she just got all self-righteous and kept interrupting me "Yes it does! Yes it does!" I honestly wanted to punch her in the face.
Other than people sticking their cards in the wrong slot, my MOST hated thing about work is when people don't understand what they're supposed to do, and when I explain it to them, they don't believe me. Don't be so fucking IGNORANT. I've been fuming about this dumb witch for the last two hours.
And then there are the people who are just plain dumb and push the wrong button 500 times, each time after you've told them not to push the button and they just do NOT get it. I mean, I'm the first person to admit how retarded I can be sometimes, but some people just....ugh, there are no words for their density.

Overall, I've had ver ygood customers recently, save one I had today.
HELLO! MORON! If you didn't want the drink iced, and you see me making your drink, but iced, tell me before I finish, dammit! Yes, I misheard you. I appologize for that. But don't just stand there and let me waste 5 minutes and a bunch of supplies making something you don't want!

I used to love the people that get Spanish ATM text coming back at them.
Customer: "Oh my God! It's speaking Spanish! What do I do? What do I do!?"
Cashier: "Ma'am, si means yes."
Maybe it isn't that hilarious, but I figure knowing yes in Spanish is pretty much a given in California. The only other entries you need to know are numbers written... numerically.

Too bad knowing English in a U.S. State isn't a given.
No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave. -- Calvin Coolidge
Today's liberals wish to disarm us so they can run their evil and oppressive agenda on us. The fight against crime is just a convenient excuse to further their agenda.

My horrible job at a fuel Kiosk:
Me: Sir, you are going ot have to turn off your engine while fueling.
Dumbshit: I've been fueling helicopters for the last 16 years.
Me: Thats impressive, but you are still going to have to turn off your engine. Its the law.
DS: What law???
Me: International Fire Code 2404, 2405, and 2409. If you dont shut off your engine I am going to have to turn the pump off from inside, take down your information and hand it off to the other fuel attendants so that you will never be served here again. *Insert Cute 7 mo. pregnant smile here*
DS: Your fuel sucks anyway.
Me: ..... Just turn off the engine!
One more, cause its just funny.
Customer taps on the glass at my station: Hey, is this bulletproof glass?
Me: It's bullet resistant....
C: Do you feel safe in there?
Me: Well.... I'm eight months pregnant, so the question is Do you feel safe out there?
C: .....
UH.... Here is my check. Have a nice day.
Me: Oh I will now, Sir. I will now.
