  • The things people say...

    This was going to go in Coworkers, because the second story is longer, but I think the first is just so much more impressive.

    The Customer
    Yesterday this guy comes up to me and says "Hey, I'm lookin' for a DVD with this ni***r in it."

    Aaaand... that's it.

    That's his whole description of the movie he wants. A racial slur and the fact that it's on DVD.

    Fortunately, his wife was nearby and could remember that they were looking for a boxed set of the 1970s TV series Good Times.

    Which we did have.

    The Coworker
    Z is quickly replacing J (who was finally fired recently) as our humorously bigoted coworker.

    Z's dealing with a couple guys looking for a phone. They're skinny young guys in tight jeans, with slicked-back hair and lispy voices. So basically a pair of walking stereotypes.

    So when they go off to look at another phone, Z steps over to me.

    Z: "Kabe, can I tell you something?"

    Me: "Sure."

    Z: "I am really homophobic. How am I gonna handle this?"

    Me: "...don't be an asshole? That's pretty much all there is to it."

    In hindsight, I regret not using the follow-up comment I had: "If it's any consolation, you are the most attractive guy here."

    Me: "...don't be an asshole? That's pretty much all there is to it."
    Such simple, direct advice, applicable to SO MANY situations.

    If only it could be given out more frequently...
