I just had a mildly interesting memory[views:5549][posts:26]________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 3:25pm - retzam ""] A couple years back when I began working at barnes and noble, I was working the cash register one time when some scary looking guy with tattoos and a shaved head and a venom shirt came to buy his shit. I said something like "Venom, nice shirt", and he was silent and his face kept the same angry blankness as it had before. People suck. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:32pm - Ryan_M ""] I've told a few people I liked their shirt and had them treat me with the same indifference. Maybe it's because I don't really look like a metalhead so they think I'm a loser for talking to them. But yeah, it does suck when you're just trying to be nice and people try to act all bad ass and ignore you. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:36pm - Kevord ""] I hate when people compliment my shirt. I never know what to say either. Actually some dude did it to me yesterday at Newbury Comics cause we both had Vital Remains shirts on. What do you do in a situation like that high five? |
| _____________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:38pm - pam ""] You say "thanks", Kevin. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:38pm - CNV ""] I have a solution stop wearing heavy metal shirts |

That was the worst, I think. People always thought we were trying to pull one over on them or something because it costs 25 bucks per year and you get 10% off everything. Every once in a while someone would do the elementary math problem and think they are really smart and get a clever grin on their face and say something like "Ah, well that means that I'd have to spend 250 dollars a year at your store before I'd start saving money now doesn't it?" It's not a big fucking mystery, fuck I hated all of those people. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:46pm - Ryan_M ""] If someone likes my shirt, I at least say thanks, I only ignore people if it's obvious they're assholes. I was walking out of a Denny's one night, with a Misfits shirt on, and this little fat kid in an ICP shirt said "Cool shirt". I didn't even look at him I just kept walking. Little fucking Juggalo queer. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:52pm - Kevord ""] Well the thing is I must think my shirt is cool or I wouldn't be wearing it. I don't need a stranger to remind me my shirts not gay. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 4:54pm - dreadkill ""] i don't mind when people compliment me on a shirt. it was definitely cooler back in the day when metal wasn't mainstream. most of the time it was rare to see someone wearing a metal shirt so it was nice to acknowledge a similar taste in music. i see metal shirts all the time now so it's nothing special. some girl complimented me on my opeth shirt last week and i said thanks and kept walking. opeth is so close to the mainstream now that it didn't surprise me when she said "nice shirt! i love opeth!" if it was before 2003, it would have carried more weight. |

| _____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 5:07pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i love when people completely miss the point of my shirts. i was walking to the car when i heard some guy say behind me "he's a good guy...that al gore." i thought he was just talking on his cell phone or something, but then i realized i was wearing my goreality shirt that says "gore is our reality" on the back, so i turned around and he was like "oh, i thought you were supporting al gore. i should have known it's halloween time so all you kids are wearing scary shirts and stuff. al gore is a good guy anyway!" i'm going to start the trend of looking at peoples' shirts and saying "woah, dude, that shirt sucks, awesome" |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 5:08pm - dreadkill ""] ha, al gore. what an idiot. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 5:09pm - dreadkill ""] you kids and your scary halloween shirts |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 5:12pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i should have told him it's al gore's death metal band that spreads world awareness and invented the internet. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 23,2006 5:33pm - CNV ""] Haha, fuck them I made sure I quit without calling in on a really busy day |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2006 8:17pm - dreadkill ""] ha, i quit circuit city right before busy season. they called me the next day and said "you're supposed to be working now." i told them i was supposed to be working the day before too but i didn't want to work there anymore. they were shocked. |
