Cutters

There's something special about Utah where people think that they're entitled to cut in front of you in line. Maybe they only do this to me though. "I'm in a rush, got lots to do." They probably think. "What are you in a hurry for? To go home and take a hit on the bong? Yeah, that can wait."

Normally, I don't really mind. I mean, it's just a few extra moments of waiting (and they're right, that bong isn't going anywhere). The worst tend to be the old women(and they're always women) who insist on paying with a check (Do they think debit card's are the devil's plastic or something?). But this time it wasn't just a few extra moments. I headed over to GameStop, I needed a good fighting game to calm my nerves, picked up what I needed and got in line. There was only one worker in the store, helping a group of customers trading in their Xbox and games so I stepped just a few feet behind them in line. Enter Mr. Douche-canoe with his two kids. Seeing the line he thinks "there's no way a nigger's gettin served before me!" he proceeded to the other end of the counter and waits. Now normally this is the part in the story where the worker flips the guy off and tells him to go fuck himself, however this is Utah and line cutting behavior is accepted, especially against Black people (lest we get uppity and think we're equal or some crazy shit like that).

Worker: Can I help you sir?
Sir Douche: Yeah, I'd like to trade in this game and buy this one?
Worker: Ok, let me finish up with this customer trading. I thought you just wanted to buy a game real quick.

Then the worker slid right on back to the other side of the counter to continue with the Xbox trade in, completely ignoring me, the guy who had been patiently waiting these past few minutes.


You might be thinking that I'm nitpicking here and this type of thing happens everywhere all the time but I used to live in Las Vegas, Sin City, some would call it the epicenter of moral depravity and I can't recall one instance where this ever happened to me. And I normally remember things like this easily because I'm a genius but I'm also petty, taking a mental note of people who need to die should I ever gain world domination.

  1. People are surprisingly tacky in these parts. They lack basic manners for some reason, and when you point out their behavior, they call you "rude"...smh.

    1. How rude of you to point out my rude behavior.

      I bet they'd use the word uppity if they could get away with it.

  2. The word they use is "aggressive". I prefer to call it "taking no shit". Do you have a facebook page or something?

    1. I've considered making a page for my writing but I'm way too lazy.
