Weege Says.....

"SHUT UP, OR I'LL SUCK YOUR DICK!"

....yes, someone actually said that...


So...where to begin....

Haven't talked to chris in like 2 months now...it's kinda fucked up...he leaves his Alt AIM accout online, and i see him come on and off idle and away, but he never replies when i say hi....i've pretty much given up. He's obviously not gonna talk until he's ready to..

Just in case though...

THANKS FOR IGNORING ME, ASSHAT! :D


...but i digress....


What in the fuck is wrong with people?

...I mean, seriously...what the fuck...

My shop seems to be a magnet for assholes, retards, idiots, and generally fucked up people...

We have this customer...we'll call him Julio....

Julio is, hands down, the STUPIDEST motherfucker i've EVER encountered......now this isn't because he's hispanic...that would be wrong...this is because he is genuinely fucking stupid and/or retarded.... First off, the man can't read...this is a huge problem in and of itself. He makes it worse by being annoying as fuck. Every time he comes in, he's gotta have a thriller...that's ALL he asks for, EVERY TIME.....first fucking thing out of his mouth "I need a thriller". His vocabulary is fuckin' HURTIN'....

I was returning DVD's to the shelf, and he stops me, i cringe, because i know what's coming. It goes something like this

Julio picks up a copy of the posiedon adventure (the shitty hallmark made-for-tv one), and asks me "is this a thriller?"

Pliskin: no, it's not
Julio: does it have spanish substance?
Pliskin: i'm not sure what you mean
Julio: like with the words at the bottom of the screen..
Pliskin: (dumbfounded) ...oh, you mean subtitles...(i look at the box)
Pliskin: I dunno, it doesn't say on the box
Julio: You can't check?
Pliskin: ..I just did..
Julio: There isn't anywhere else you can check?
Pliskin: No....that's all there is, if it doesn't say on the box, then that's it....

at that point, i excused myself, and kinda slid past him so i could finish my work....

On my next run with returns, he stops me again and holds up a copy of "Just like Heaven" and "Elizabethtown" and asks me (you guessed it) "are either of these a thriller?"...i told him no...i explained that they're both romantic comedies...he cringed a bit, then asked me again if we had any thrillers, only this time he was a bit more descriptive "I want a thriller, like a really good thriller, like flightplan" and i'm thinking "the fuck?....flightplan was a mystery, not a fucking thriller..." What's REALLY funny is that when he asks me this, he's standing RIGHT in front of like 6 FULL shelves of "Red Eye", and Red Eye says "THRILLER" RIGHT on the fucking box.....it's right there....on the front......

....Oh...i'm sorry, i forgot.......HE CAN'T FUCKING READ!

So i told him we didn't have anything like that, and i walked off to continue my work.

My third run with returns comes, and he stops me AGAIN....he hands me a copy of "Eros" and asks me what it's about.....i tell him that i've not seen it, and i really don't have any idea. By this point, i wanna fucking stab him in the face for being such an annoying prick..i like answering people's questions, but this asshole just destroys my patience....

So not only am i sick of dealing with him, but i'm carrying a huge fucking stack, and it's starting to feel pretty heavy, so i tell him that there's a little thinng on the back about what the movie is about, and he says "I can't read that" and i'm thinking "what the fuck?...it's in english...you speak english, what the fuck's the problem?". So i tell him that it's a compilation of 3 differnt short independant films...i should have known that these words were too big for him, because he gets this real confused look on his face, and says "What?...pass out?" so i say "what?". At this point, i wanted really badly to stab him, and i think if i'd had a free hand, i might have tried to gouge him a bit with my keys......

I handed him off to my supervisor, and walked away, my hope for humanity slipping another few notches. I swear to you all, i actually felt STUPIDER after talking to him....as if just by speaking, he'd molested my IQ, and made it regress.....

After he left, i ran a few more returns, and found ALL of the movies he'd asked me about....

he's one of those assholes who picks something up, decides he doesn't want it, and puts it back on the shelf, laying down, in the wrong fucking place.....and i'm not talking a few spaces wrong, i'm talking ACORSS THE FUCKING STORE wrong....

He never actally rented anything either...he just came in, annoyed us, molested our shelves, and then left...

..I hate Julio....


So my district manager is being an asshat again.....when he's not bullying and intimidating my spinless store manager, he's busy thinking up newer and better ways to fuck up our store.....he recently came up with the absolutely fucking BRILLIANT idea to hire more people to work at our store...yeah...we need that like i need a hole in the head...

He slashed the amount of labor money we get, so we're already not able to pay the staff decently anymore, now he wants to put MORE people on the payroll, and not give us any more money....this basicly means everyone's going to make even less...

He's also still jerking me around for my promotion....meanwhile, we only have 2 supervisors, who are both being push to the limit, and are close to snapping....

I also found out, he's hooking his friends up with free movies, and erasing their late fees....in addition to ordering us to pad our inventory, and do what basicly equates to fellating our more rude and demanding customers.......this guy needs to be fired...


I never did understand why weird people always hafta smell, and why smelly people are always weird, and why either hafta come to our store....

This guy comes in...he's a regular. He fucking reeks.....i mean, how hard is it to shower?

He spent about 15 minutes milling around the store, stinking up the place before he decided "hey, i gotta take a shit.." he proceeded to take a shit in our bathroom..and it was like an atomic mutant shit or something, because when he opened the door, this horrible smell wafted out..it was the kinda thing that scorches the earth, blinds people, causes old ladies to faint, makes baby jesus cry....just the most horrid smell you can imagine....and it lingered until i was able to go on break, and buy some air sanitizer...i used half of the can....

This fucker smelled so bad that people were actually becoming disgusted, and leaving....

i hate that guy too...


Anyways, now for the latest films...

Elizabethtown

I really don't have much to say about this film....it was a pretty crappy film...struk me as a really lousy atempt to rip off Garden State.... ::shrugs:: It stars Orlando Bloom, and Kirsten Dunst, if that makes it sound any better...


Just Like Heaven

Oh man...what the fuck?


Mark Ruffalo plays Jack Abbot, a widower and architect...Reese Witherspoon plays Elizabeth Masterson, a former doctor, now ghost....

Basicly, masterson is a workaholic, and spends WAY too many hours at the hospital....on her way home she gets killed by a truck (w00t!)

Abbot is renting her old appartment, and starts seeing her ghost....then spend a lot of time bickering, then they fall in love.....what a piece of shit...

What's interesting about this film is that it stars Mark Ruffalo.....Ruffalo is pretty much the ugliest actor i've seen in a long time...

Mr Ruffalo's facial appearance can only be described as the result of someone taking Mr. Potatohead parts, and attaching them to a horse's ass.....Look at the DVD cover, and tell me i'm full of shit....

Staring in this piece of shit proves that Reese Witherspoon's career is indeed going down the toilet.....in a few years, she'll be like the star of our next shitfest movie.....


Gingerbread Man

Gary Busey.....what in the fuck happened to you? You made some quality films, and now this?...c'mon, get some respect for yourself....

In this craptastic piece of shit, Gary Busey walks into a restaurant, and kills a bunch of people...he gets the death penalty....they electrocute Gary Busey(SAY IT AIN'T SO!)....Gary Busey's mom mixes his ashes into a batch of gingerbread, and then proceeds to do some voodoo incantation shit to cast a spell on it....then some asshole bleeds on the cookies, and frosted christcakes, gary's alive again....as a fucking cookie....

He spends the rest of the movie as a cookie, killing people....

This movie was horrifying...not because it was scary, but because it was so completely shitty.....it was about as scary and enjoyable as "Santa's Slay" staring Bill Goldberg....

more shit came out, but i didn't bother watching any of it......lord of war was good, the aristocrats was really good, i'm gonna watch domino later....christ, there's a lot of stupid fucking movies out.....

untill next time, "Weege Says..."
