Rudewad Of The Day
Gotta love the 20-something musician asshat sitting by me at Starbucks with the pristine new MacBook Pro (15-inch!) bellowing into his iPhone 4 about how he's got to get off welfare.

Isn't some OWSer missing her MacBook Pro? We didn't necessarily pay for that one.

Only 19 hours this week, at $8 per. One of these days i am going to have to think about getting on it. Spit. Not yet.

Speaking of liberal, entitled, arrogant jackasses:

What's next, "Occupy" the library because they charge you overdue fees when you return books late?

I go to the Santa Monica Vidiots (only on occasion these days), and they've always been really nice to me and really helpful.

Amy: agreed 100%. Thanks for the response. :-)

In fact, I'm gonna make a point in the next week or so to buy a new blu-ray at Vidiots and mention my support of them for standing up to Wells, who has a long-standing and well-founded reputation for being an actual, death-camp-fantasizing Stalinist leftist.

Vidiots return policy:

http://www.vidiotsvideo.com/rentalpolicy.html#DueDate

Due Date for Videos and DVDs Rentals are due two days after you rented them by closing (11pm Sun-Thurs, 12am Fri-Sat), unless you've rented 3 or more items (see above "Special Deal"). Extra day charges of $3.56 for members or $4.57 for non-members accrue every two days. Please check with the clerk before you leave to make sure you have the correct return date. If they are dropped into our night slot after we've closed on the day it is due, or if it is returned the next day, the tape is considered late and a late charge of $3.23 a day for members or $4.39 a day for non members is put onto your account and is due. Accumulated late charges may be charged onto your credit card.

The guy had three Bluerays for two weeks. Pay, meet Piper.

Hint: Vidiots is a business, not a charity. Forget to return videos and you owe them. Pay like a grownup and don't post nasty posts about them because they don't act like they're your mama loaning you "It's A Wonderful Life." Asslint.

You should have taken a picture of the guy.

Abersouth at November 6, 2011 2:39 PM

Amy: I just copied and posted that Vidiots policy back at Mr. Wells' blog comment section. Will be happy to let you know his reaction (or, more likely, temper tantrum). Thanks for providing that info.

Luvthat.


There seems to be a generation of people who've come to believe, by the example of Mr. HopeyChange, that a contract is just something to be voided at a later date.

I don't feel I have a right if somebody's indoors, which he was, but I'll describe him: Early 20s, hair like a Chinese girl...bangs, straight, long, and tattoos all over the damn place, and tall and skinny. And iPhone and Macbook Pro.

Amy, you should have leaned over to clueless young'in and whispered: "yes, please do get off of the dole, because everyone else is tired of paying you to exist..."

I am SO sick of this OWS shit. I think I'll go occupy a barstool. My tab's paid up.

I think I'll go occupy a barstool.

You can take the one next to mine Flynne. I've had a long and stressful year, and it never occurred to me to complain to anyone - or protest. So till Christmas, I'll be with them in spirit at the nearest bar. Or in spirits. One of those anyway.
