On skate shoes and possible shenanigans
Another [info]customers_suck wank:

[info]tijay makes a lengthy post about a kid coming into the store wearing heelies. Kid, while skating, apparently trips over the steps on a nearby escalator and bangs his head.

Result? 911, kid half-dead, in coma (prolly and hopefully died on the way to the hospital, he bleed all over the escalator making 4 people clean up after him. Bitch. His mom is crying and yelling at everyone, escalator gets stopped. People complaint about elevators that are slow and that we need to fix our escalators.

Then we have team meeting, and at least three people confess that they told him and his mom to stop skating. Making our liability 0. At least now, we have banned these goddamn shoes.

That incident just made my day. I will remember it on the bright side for the rest of my life.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand they're off. 324 comments and counting.

Edit: The wank, it hits stupid_free--many thanks to [info]hangingfire for the link.

I guess it's just because they only really caught on in England this year and I've spent most it at Uni in a fairly backwoods place. So I kept seeing people bitching about them online but then when I came back to civilization for christmas I suddenly saw all these kids zooming around and thought 'oooh so that's what they mean.'

(I got all my mean spiritedness out of the way when I saw a group of kids going up and down the street taunting some boy reading in his garden about not having them.... after about 10 minutes he lost patience and opened his garden gate as one went past. I shouldn't take pleasure in children hurting each other, but the way he quietly nodded afterwards was adorable.)
