Still, not my worst retail experience. 

NOT your worst retail experience? 

I mean I can see that, while creepy and awkward, it wasn't really threatening, but still. 

What is your worst retail experience then?

Next time bring a pot...

I recommend cast iron. Got some heft to it, for better momentum and greater damage upon impact. (I mean damage to him, the pot’ll be fine.)

I just started watching “TrueBlood” on HBO. It seems that, because they can get away with it, HBO enjoys putting as much sex in as they can, even if it’s completely pointless; the first twenty minutes or so of the pilot had all manner of sex and discussion thereof going on already. My reaction was “Ugh, tiresome. Can we move on with the actual story, please?” It was like a ten-year-old yelling a bad word just because he can, and to get a reaction. Boring and contrived. The actual story may yet be good; I’ll have to stick with it for a few episodes and see.

 

Do people actually want to see all the extraneous sex stuff? I don’t get it.

Before looking at that link if I had seen that in person I'd probably question it's usefulness as a chair and then climb on it... I still don't get how people could have sex with it, but I'm content with never finding that out

I would have thought it was some strange new model of the AB Lounge or some kind of indoor hammock and sat in it without realizing what it was.

 

And I can probably imagine how people could have sex in it, but I don't want to. 🤣

I don't have HBO or Hulu or Netflix or anything like that because I don't watch television that often and it'd be a waste of money. I do watch a lot of anime, however, and I've come across quite a few that are just way too sexual for my comfort, to the point that it made me want to throw up. I'll give it a couple of episodes to see if it gets any better (it usually doesn't), and then I stop watching it. It seems like whenever sex is a pertaining factor, the storyline gets pushed to the side, but since 99% of the population is sexual it doesn't bother them as much as it does people like you and me. It does, as you say, feel like they're just doing it because they're able to and they know it'll rack up the views. -____-

Sex scenes in everything are why I have undue wear on my right arrow key.

And the mute button for when they go in for the kiss.

Gah, I hate the amped-up loud smooching sounds SO MUCH! Gross. WHY?

 

At least there’s always a dramatic musical swell to forewarn you that characters are going in for the smooch.

Last year I saw one with the loud kissing noises and no music. It's so much worse. 10/10 would not recommend.

My worst was when this lady on crack came into my work and talked to me. This lady was so annoying, and if she wan't on crack then she had a severe mental disorder and I don't think she should have been let out in public unsupervised. She talked to me for 6 hours strait at a speed that would make a professional auctioneer jealous and she did not shut up. My boss went and hid in the back office. She kept saying how she would have to leave soon to go meet her brother and how she knew/was related to all of these famous people. She only left when we were closing up. She didn't even buy anything. I wanted to bash her head in and leave her corpse in a landfill.

I had this moment in a class I have called Mental Exercise (roughly translated), which is a mix between psychology, philosophy, biology and modem We were talking about motivation and wether you could have any motivation without emotions. My teacher said that sexuality was a basic instinct and me and my demi friend just looked at eachother like we were on the office.

Yeeaah, I still prefer the ones on the playground. 

 

Yeesh. 🤣

I can't wrap my head around why having a wood or steel material would make things better.  I would think wood causes splinters and you wouldn't want those in any sensitive body part.  Steel...I guess if you want to make it a maze for a body part to go in another..

I tend to think now that humans have been on Earth for so long that they've tried just about everything.  I was writing a martial arts essay and I stumbled upon a video of a guy using his parts to lift maybe 30-50 lbs of medals at a competition that he was an entertainment act for.  I feel like he just decided one day that he wanted to use his thing to carry stuff and tried it out.  "Look at this idea, let's add a private part to it!"  I also thought, if he practices lifting things like that, he probably made his parts saggy too.

 

I went to my trans doctor the other day and as part of my update, she did ask me about relationships and I was like no?  I guess it is part of the protocol to ask about them.  I guess she may not have gotten to look at my first papers which asked about gender identity and sexual orientation.  When her intern was formally teaching me about giving myself shots, they (I don't actually know the pronouns) wrote notes as he in their notes.  He and they are my pronouns but still seems like assuming pronouns to me in many cases.

As a fellow retail worker, I feel your pain. I can't stand the people that come in only to linger. It makes me think they're shoplifting. I once had a lady who wandered around the store for like, four hours, and she wouldn't stop talking about this eyebrow treatment she wanted to get. -_______-

Sorry, I do that at the fabric store, and many other places.  I just like touching all the fabric..

You don't have to apologize. To be honest, sometimes I spend too long inside of a store, too. It's just a different experience when you're behind the counter, and my store has been having a serious shoplifting problem, so that's why I'm irritated. If someone wants to kill a couple of hours looking around, then that's perfectly all right. It all comes down to the customer and their intentions.

Well, a problem with that fabric store is that if you don't say anything, they won't come to you to cut the fabric so anxiety could keep me there for hours.

 

Also doing readings for an online class.  The field that I'm trying to go into is named "the sexiest job of the 21st century".  Oh no.  Also how can a job be sexy?  Does sex have to go with everything to be positive?

There's a difference between wandering around a store looking at things for hours, and following around employees to talk to them incessantly for hours.

You're going into porn?!  just kidding. So what is the "sexiest job of the 21st century?"

Data scientist.  I think my STEM brain really likes all the data.  If I could be a database admin, I would control ALL the data.  So now I have to learn SQL and Python.  The statistics part interests me more though.

 

The article later defined sexy as rare quality.

 

Quote

If “sexy” means having rare qualities that are much in demand, data scientists are already there. They are difficult and expensive to hire and, given the very competitive market for their services, difficult to retain. There simply aren’t a lot of people with their combination of scientific background and computational and analytical skills.

I had an incredibly ace moment in a dream a few nights ago.  I don't remember how anything began, but I was in a big house and there was sex going on in several rooms I was wandering through, not part ofit .  (I say "I", but I'm almost never myself in dreams, this just happened to be viewed in first person).  But the only thing I was paying attention to was that what I though was wallpaper in the rooms turned out to be embroidered, and I thought that was really neat.

I just realized that the country song "save a horse, ride a cowboy" is not necessarily about finding alternate modes of transportation.

In 2012, Harvard Business Review named data scientist the "sexiest job of the 21st century." More recently, Glassdoor named it the "best

 

I was curious too. Sitting at a desk all day is veeerrrrrryyy sexy.

I am flabbergasted at the idea of any job being considered "sexy." It sounds absolutely ridiculous.

@:)(: That was actually the article I was reading for my online class.  But I can't read the best link unless I disable my ad block.  That one called it hot.  Not all attractiveness has to be described this way!

Yarn shops ditto... we textile artists/craftspeople are very tactile folk!

[awkward_pterodactyl]

Generally I get innuendos (there’s a lot in high school and on the internet) but I flat-out don’t get flirting or... attraction? Once I passed a group of guys on my way out of work. One informed me, “My friend thinks you’re cute!” I gave him a thumbs up and kept walking.
