I went to buy shoes yesterday and the guy asked me if I wanted to buy a live strong bracelet for $1 to donate blah blah blah...I said yes. He put it back and I said wait don't I get the bracelet? He said oh you said yes (and I clearly did). He put it in the box and acted like he already charged me and could not add it. So I gave him $5 and he gave me $4 change which I put in my wallet. Then he acted all confused and handed me the change for the shoes. Right when he gave it to me he asked me do you want me to put the receipt in the bag? He took my attention off the change he just handed me and I said yeah sure. I put the change in my wallet. I noticed I was $12 short after I calculated how much I spent yesterday. This is the first time someone's shorted me on change. I went back 20 minutes ago and yelled at them a bit. I asked them where's the guy that was up here yesterday? They were acting like they didn't know which employee I was referring to when I said the short guy with the do-rag. They pointed me to the manager. I spoke with him and told him the story. He gave me the difference after talking to the guy on the phone. He told me it wasn't him, but I'm sure it was. He told me he would look at the cameras after I told him he gave me 10s instead of a 50. The amount isn't what bothered me, but the fact that someone working at a professional establishment in a mall would short me for his dime bag (which I told the manager was the reason he probably did). He was cool about it, and I'm pretty sure that guy is gonna get fired.
Last week, I was driving home when I saw this kid with his fists balled up with a very angry look on his face. This bigger kid walking behind him was throwing his brush at him. Two girls were egging him on (probably because the kid being picked on rejected one of them). I felt bad enough for the kid, and since it was a red light with many cars in front of me I got out of my car threw up my hands and said what's up, I bet you won't throw that comb at me? The girl with him was telling him to do it, but he was scared. I called him a punk, and went back inside my car after giving him a half a minute to man up. I left the door open in case he got the balls to do it and he would throw it at me and not my car. I noticed the cop parked at the next U turn so I called him a punk one more time, closed my door, and drove off. The girl that was with him was so annoying. The cop told me to pull over after I left and I gave him the story, and told him I wanted to show him what it felt like. He let me leave rather quickly after he noticed I wasn't crazy or anything. The truth is the kid could have thrown the brush at me and I wouldn't have done anything since I'm over 18 and he's still in high school. It's happened several times before and I've always returned it.
Now I feel bad I didn't help the lady who got hit by a car that ran a red light. I wasn't moving so the car missed me but hit the other car with the lady.
The car ran right through the grass between a tree and sign (with amazing maneuvering despite hitting someone and loosing some control, I must say), but everyone was ok.
I gave him enough time to get away. It was Friday, so I hope he's smart enough to ask his mom for a car ride until he can figure out his next move. The bully was built, and much bigger than the kid.
I get that it wasn't the smartest move for my benefit, but there were many other onlookers and traffic wasn't moving. I would have felt morally wrong if I let him keep throwing the brush at him the entire time they walked home. By the look on the kid's face it would have escalated and he would have received the ass beating of his life.
Sup with all the anti-gay commercials? The NBA made one. Is the gay population really that big to warrant this kind of funding?
The commercial with Grant Hill and others?? Yeah, I bet it has to do with the semi-recent "gay slurs" made by Kobe, Yoakim Noah, and even the retired Tim Hardaway.
