the times of kryptoniteglows

So I was over at my parents today, brother tricked me into going to Ritz Camera store downtime that was closing. Seriously I got tricked, he said we were going to the park!

Anyway, end up with some new lenses and filters stuff for the XSi, including some 6 & 8 point star filters. We go out the back when it is dark to see if we can get that neat effect on the street/city lights. We notice some weird dude pooing or peeing behind the building next to ours. Unfortunately this isn’t that uncommon so we ignore it and play around with the settings on our cameras.

We go inside and not a few minutes later the dude that was urinating or defecating in public is in my parent’s store raising a stink where is his nickel . My dad gives him his damn nickel and he has the nerve to slam the doors, spill what I hope was juice all over the place, and yell in the street incoherently . My dad tells me that he tried to give him the stupid nickel when he paid, but for whatever reason he left. I share my story about seeing the insane guy behind the store. I guess he had to poo/piss so badly he couldn’t wait for his change. However, that is no damn reason for you to be messing up someone’s store. I should took the embarrassing pic of you behind the building with your pants down. Though you can’t really retaliate against them, there are more of them then there of you…

Oh yea, my brother tells me that last week some guy called the cops, yes DIALED 911 because his shrimp fried rice didn’t have peas and carrots . The even sadder thing is that police officers did show up, I hope there wasn’t someone else with a more pressing issue that got delayed because of this guy. My parents had already offered to remake the order if he paid 50 cents to add the peas and carrots. The guy claims he doesn’t have 50 cents and the other store includes peas and carrots. The cops basically “side” with my parents, pay the 50 cents or STFU and order from the other store that includes them in the future. With the cops there, he magically has 50 cents to spend for the peas and carrots, but tells the cops that my parents are going to mess with his food now. Um, fucking wow dude, if you don’t want people messing with your food, you probably should not eat out and probably should not be an ass. I’m pretty sure the cops wanted to spit in the food for wasting them time on such a trivial matter. If money is so tight that you have trouble coming up with 50 cents, you probably should not be eating out either or maybe you should be ordering the plain fried rice instead of SHRIMP.

If my parents were a larger scale store, they probably would have remade it to get the guy out of there. However, they have a small store and stupid people expecting you to fix things for them really does become a problem, they think they are entitled to have things their way. People are so freaking ridiculous, I’ve bought food that basically tasted like crap to me, was vastly inferior to food I’ve had before, or was otherwise wasn’t up to my expectations. I didn’t go crazy and call 911 about it though. I tossed it and learned to not buy/eat that again.
