Christina Conservative killed Larry Liberal in the conservatory with the candlestick.

Actually, that's a speed-typing typo.

Yes, I have schadenfreude, but not because they're conservatives. Because they're idiots. If management of a site tells you as a moderator that you need to shape up and follow the rules OR ELSE, and you don't shape up and follow the rules, why would you think your politics have a damn thing to do with the consequences?

	Nofundie can ever remember that part, ever.

Why do I know waaaay too many 'Christiana Conservatives' who think that obviously anti-Christian bias was responsible for everything bad thats ever happened to them, even if they were flagrantly ignoring rules and stirring up trouble?

Like the nutter who assumed that Wal-mart had arrested him because he luvs Jebus, not because he was eating food off the shelves and not paying for it.

I swear it was posted on otf_wank or unfunnybusiness, because I don't know where else I would have heard about it, but it was a LONG time ago.

Basic story: Dude and his family go to a Wal-mart that has a deli like set up. They take foods off the shelf and eat them out of the containers as they shop.

Dude's story is that he pays for whatever his family eats at the check-out.

Wal-mart's story is that he may have paid for some of the stuff, but they threw a whole bunch of it out without paying for it, like soda cups and such.

Dude's story is that Wal-mart is lying about him throwing away the empty containers just because *He's a Christian* and Wal-mart is obviously biased against Christians. Because a good Christian would NEVER lie about not paying for something, so obviously, he couldn't lie, and the devil-woman at Wal-mart was just trying to put him down for his Christianity.

There was a huge long thread where he just kept repeating that mantra over and over again like the more times he said it, it would become true, and a bunch of people were commenting back to him like 'You're an idiot, even Christians have to pay for that stuff before they eat it."

---
I also saw another rating site where someone was claiming in several threads that Wal-mart hates "the troops" because they tried to ship an Xbox to an APO, and it never arrived, but they didn't think about claiming it as lost until the period for claiming shipped items as lost was over. (90 days). So obviously Wal-mart hates "the troops" for refusing to break policy for someone who took over 90 days to report a shipped item as lost in the mail.

---
It kind of makes me sad when I think about how many people there are out there who think 'If a store/a person won't break policy for me, they obviously hate *insert supposedly but unlikely actually persecuted group here.*'

REGARDLESS of whether the person/store could have had any idea they belonged to said group.

	I think I've met a few of those. Like the woman who got mad because we don't give discounts on Sundays and went on a rant about the godless workers at the store. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You and my mom should swap stories. She currently works for Walmart, so I get to hear these stories all the time. So far the best ones are: crackhead goes on rampage in layaway, transvestite shoplifter, drunk guy plowing the Walmart parking lot crushes three cars, family of eight or so tries to steal shoes for themselves, guy dumps entire basket in a rage at 1-10 items line because he had way over the limit and they asked him to go to another line, and endless amounts of people trying to return items clearly marked with Ikea and other non-Walmart store branding.

And then there was that time some random person tried to blow up my mom's van in the Walmart parking lot while she was at work by sticking a lit cloth in the gas tank.

No religious-type stories, though.

Oh, we so should. By far the worst we had was the looney who kept leaving dead animals all over the place, but in the years and various stores I've worked at, there've been some other doozies that range from a big burly guy heaving a Christmas tree at a 5'3" cashier like he was tossing a fucking caber to the woman who had to be taken away by police because she kept opening cans of food and throwing them at people's cars.

Wish I had worked at her store. When I worked on the express check, they would actually send people over to me with entire cartloads full of stuff just because I hadn't had any customers for thirty seconds, even though we were super busy otherwise. I once had to run over 200 items for a person, meanwhile the poor people who just wanted one or two things are lined up behind him, and they couldn't complain to a manager because it was the manager's fault.
