People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.

The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.

This Has To Be The Greatest Idea Ever

#can we get a donation box on the house floor? #I want CNN to train one camera on it at all times #I want John Lewis dropping quarters really loudly into it while Paul Ryan speaks #just ‘ping’ ’-and the affordable care act costs taxpayers-’ ‘ping’ ’-funding abortions at planned parenthood-’ ‘ping’ ’-balance the budget- #‘ping’ ’-will you stop that?!?’ ‘sure – whenever you’re ready’ #‘i got all day mr. speaker – taxpayers pay me to show up here and do my job’ #‘and tell the truth’ (wrangletangle)

Reblogging again for that great addition.

I love this because in some parliamentary systems it is unparliamentary language to imply a representative is lying. However, you can make a case for arbitrarily dropping coins into a box.
