Back To School shoppers-disturbing observations

GeneticKiss · 08.27.2006, 10:50 PM

It's back to school time, so means things are crazy where I work, Office Depot...here are some things I've noticed that kinda concern me regarding some of the kids I've seen, and since kids are supposed to be the future, things look bleak:

-I'm seeing more and more families with four or more kids...don't parents care about overpopulation?!
-I've seen more malformed and mentally retarded kids this year than ever before...what are women doing to themselves while they're pregnant?
-5 out of 10 kids have those stupid shoes with wheels...call me a worry wart or a curmudgeon (sp?), but I can't help but wonder how that's affecting their leg muscles.
-This last one is more about the mindset of the parents: We ask people if they want us to donate 5% of their purchase total to a school of their choice...9 times of 10, parents that are rude and/or haughty ask for a Catholic or Christian school to receive credit.

Thoughts?

We all know the future is fucked, but other than that yeah I have seen that. I hate those damn kids with wheels on their shoes. At costco they are allways getting on my way. If one of them falls I would start laughing. Yeah don't worry, kill yourself when you see the future becoming bleak.

My mom bought the shoes with wheels (heelies) for my sister for her birthday. When she opens it she will be so happy. It'll be funny when she falls.

I want to see one of those kids crash into the wine section, then I'll be laughing.

Crazy kids.

cosmokramer · 08.28.2006, 12:56 AM

i knew a girl who was 17 who had those shoes.
she would always try and make other people use them, and when they couldnt or they'd fall she would make fun of them.
one day, after having her do this for a couple months, i saw her fall on her ass. it was classic.

Prisstina · 08.28.2006, 06:11 AM

A few years ago, I had those shoes. Except they were el cheapo so the wheels kept popping out and made a 'click' sound everytime I walked. They're definitely out of style here.

ha ha! my niece has these, shes shit hot on em too, its fair funny in public with her, she'd be walking along totally normal and the .....zip.......... she skates across the floor and people are kinda looking thinking "what the fuck?"
i'll ask her about her leg muscles if you like, although the answer could result in a swift kick in the head, shes a tomboy, 7 years of age and very very mental.

Get a job somewhere that doesn't involve working with the general public who you obviously despise.
