She's not retarded...

[Nyx]

...but she is really dumb...

I had a woman in over a week ago who wasn't TO sucky, but I really wanted to laugh in her face.

It started when I stepped behind a register for a second to grab something and she pipes up:
SC: Are you open?
Me: (thinking) yes thats what this sign that says "this register is closed" means, it means I'm open...

So I opened just because (I dunno must have been in a good mood )

So I'm ringing her up and she mentions she's in a "real hurry" and asks where a Kinko's is. I tell her I don't know but flag a passing manager and ask if he knows. He says it is down the street, and I recall, that yes, there is one over there. So she continues on about how she's worried it's closed and my manager says there's an office supply store next door. But she needs business cards made and continues to yak his ear off. Then somehow she steers the conversation towards how her brother is like soooo jealous of her because she has a job with some such "fancy" company and she's just so much better than he is and it's not her fault. Manger just kinda 's and walks off. So she focuses on me... and continues with
SC: I hope I don't get lost and not make it before they close
Me: (try to be helpful) Well it isn't far, just turn righ-
SC: I'LL FIND IT! I'm not retarded!
Me: (thinking) I have my doubts...
SC: Besides the Mercadies has GPS

Then after paying she flits out the door back to her perfect world. And I think "Someones' been hittin' the crazy sauce." Then I see that she left her bag of merchandise. So I figure she'd be back I'd get to see her again (joy of joys), but she never came back. It's been 11 days and she still hasn't returned for her things. I have to wonder if she's realized it yet. Maybe she's to busy being Queen of the world. But I do have to remember, she "isn't retarded".

My Mercedes doesn't have GPS

LOL - I'd have said to her "that's nice, so does my Kia"

*steps on soapbox*

Also, there is a movement to eliminate the "r-word" ("retarded") from every day speech - apparently, it's become common place to use a phrase like "it's so retarded" to mean stupid etc, and this is offensive to folks with intellectual disabilities. Check out http://www.r-word.org

Ok, back to your normal SC-bashing!

If she has GPS, she didn't have to ask where that store was.

My GPS doesn't have a Mercedes

This little small town redneck wants to know....what's this GPS and Mercedes you people speak of?


I'm totally kidding......just jealous.

Well then country girl, GPS is this wonderful doo-hickey people use for directions to where they're going, and a Mercedes is an expensive German car sometimes purchased as a substitute penis.

My GPS doesn't have a Mercedes

We should hook up.

Haha Irv, always making me laugh....

My bf's brother has a Mercedes Benz that he bought from someone online for quite a deal. It's a very nice car, but he's had to get used to the drawbacks. They are not good cars for Wisconsin winter roads......it's rear wheel drive and gets stuck in 2 inches of snow, and one night he slid and hit a curb......

But when the roads are ideal for driving....that car is a dream......

*sigh* I would be in so much trouble with these folks, "retarded" has become my new adjective for all things dumb.

Anything further I would have to say on the matter is reserved for fratching.

OK, I'll stick with "fucking stupid" then. (I'm SO "non-PC", I scare vegans & the "right-on" brigade...get over it.)

[Broomjockey]

Actually, there's already a thread over on fratching about the word retarded, and it should have stayed over there. There wasn't any reason to bring it up here in the first place, since it was the SC who used the term. We're not the PC-language police, and this isn't the place to campaign against words.

What if the word is Ni?

Well then country girl, GPS is this wonderful doo-hickey people use for directions to where they're going, and a Mercedes is an expensive German car sometimes purchased as a substitute penis.

In her case, it might be a substitute for an orgasm . . .

What if the word is Ni?

That's a word we don't use here unless it's in a direct quote from an SC and even then it's simply referred to as the "n" word . . .

I'm fairly certain he meant the Monty Python reference.
