Down here at the pawn shop

I feel like I should say at this point that every single event I have described in this thread is 100% true, and there is absolutely no exaggeration at all. Only the names have been changed.

It definitely feels real. The thread is also sparking a cultural interest in me. From where I sit the huge negatives of ghetto culture are easy to see but what are the advantages, that takes a little more thought.

So, that $2.35 actually belonged to Girl who buys a lot of porn?

Here's the thing. The ghetto is no place to be charitable, or it would suck you dry.
But in returning Mr. Moore's change, I wasn't being charitable, just honest.
It wasn't my money, it was his.

Good on you, UT...

Later that day, co-worker Ron has marked an envelope with "Guy who buys a lot of porn's change".

Yes, the guy who has bought 6 porn movies a day for the last four days has left behind $2.35.

We all facepalm, and agree that this is going too far. We agree that lost change should be held for one day, and then go into buying us lunch.

... proof this shop is a soul-sucking place to work, and you're falling prey.
Find a place to work that is worthy of you.

You couldn't make up shit like this.

"I couldn't make this shit up if I tried!" was a regular interjection in storytelling amongst my teacher friends.

I kinda wish "retarded or high" was like a game show, where the audience could vote and then we'd see how many people got it right.

While I'll be sad to lose the interesting stories, I do hope you're able to get out of there soon, UT, before the place bruises your heart and soul for good.

You should write a book.
