...
I hate that...especially when you know the person (not real well, but enough were they should at least acknowledge you).
...Makes me feel stupid...Then angry....I wish stabbing people in the throat was socially acceptable. đ

I'm used to the rejection âšī¸
But really, it doesn't take much to say hello back or even a slight nod. đĄ

Every Monday my store would simply be a death-spike trap floor for each customer who walked through the door.
Hours: 10-7, stop on by.

ha a funny is that in my store they had to pull a piece of carpet up for something and replace it another patch of carpet and is very noticeable. when someone asks about it, i just say its the trap door for all the mean customers and i put my hand on the item/price scanner and give it a tug like thats the lever for the door đ

Yuck, even thinking about this reminds me of when I used to sell cars. I guess it never really bothered me in wireless because:
1) Our store is so small that a customer would feel awkward ignoring us, we're pretty much right in their face as soon as they walk in.
2) It happens infinately less frequently than it did selling cars.
I actually left the auto industry because I couldn't stand being hated before I even opened my mouth. I mean, people would actually SCAMPER away when they saw me coming. I understand the stigma. You know, the "used car salesman" thing. Except I sold NEW cars, and I never, EVER used a pressure sales tactic. I just learned everything I could about the cars, and shared my knowledge. If you wanna buy it, GREAT...

I think the issue really is that they don't feel like listening to a sale story to try to get them to buy something. I AM NOT ACCUSING YOU OF DOING THIS. You just are trying to be polite and say hello. However, majority of people are used to being barraged by people who just seem to want to say 'hello' and then sell them something they don't want. I base this on my own experience walking past mall stores and kiosks, where the agents seem friendly, and they'll look at you, say 'Hi' and when you respond, they always ask what kind of phone you have and start going into the sales pitch. It's not just Cellphone stores though. It's kiosks and stores for people who sell perfumes (bleh, stinky garbage) sunglasses, movies, clothes, whatever. During t...

I play enough guitar hero that I feel like I should just spend those hours learning to play a REAL guitar, 'cause it'll be a hell of a lot more rewarding in the long run...
I've played guitar a bit here and there, never very well. I feel like it's an instrument you definitely have to commit to if you want to get anywhere with it.
How long have you been playing?

Yeah, I'm GH3 on PS2 and I'm at 41 of 42 on HARD and the last song is EATING MY SOUL!
...
wait till you beat it and you get to the dragonforce song...on expert...its soo sick...i can get like 74% of the notes....there is a kid on youtube that KILLS that song...something like 99% or something...its insane..if you havent seen it golook for it
...
Am I the only person in the world that doesn't like that game? đĸ đĸ đĸ đĸ
...
haha...possibly..do you just not like it? or do you not like the song selection..see the song selection is the only thing that kinda pisses me off
...
Agreed on that one. Although GH2 is worse.
What don't you like about the game? I've even gotten my mom hooked...you should see her play on easy, she rocks back and forth like she's actually on stage playing a song...it's too funny.

I hear people talking about it all the time, about how they finally got past a certain song. To me, I'd rather learn the song on an actual guitar, than on a fake one. That and it's not very accurate to the songs I find. I understand a lot of people love it and all, but give me Mario Strikers, Mega-Man, Ace Combat, or Ikaruga any day.
...
Oh, I've seen it. The guy I saw got 100%. I have a hard time playing that song on MEDIUM, let alone expert. Frick. I've played the first 4 expert songs, but I think I'm gonna focus on getting all of my hard songs up to 5 stars (which sucks, because it means I'll have to play Barracuda again, and that song seems to stick in my brain like glue).
...
im 24..and i have been playing since i was about 7...now i didnt take it very seriously at 7...so please dont think i was one of those youtube kids that could just shred the **** out of a guitar then haha...but i started really liking/learning when i was around 10...i never took lessons either....you should def pick up the guitar again!
...
blah...drums..im soo horrible at drums its not even funny...if all the people in the worlds lifes depended on me doing a simple beat..we would all be ****ed.....what kinda bass(s) do you use?
...
I used to have a Washburn Bantam 5-string in Black. It was beautiful. That got stolen. đĸ đĸ đĸ For the time being I'm using an old Gibson Epiphone from the 70's. It sucks for metal or rock, but when I just feel like jamming, it's got a sound that can't be beat.
I really, really, really, really want a Warwick Infinity, but I can't spend 3-4 grand on one.

...
WHAT?!?!?! thats nuts...F that...did you look on ebay and the pawn shops?....man i would flip a lid..that sucks..sorry to hear that one...yeah at least you have something to jam on..but yeah for metal or rock that isnt the right tool haha..and my buddy just got endorsed by warwick...and yeah thats nuts...3-4 on a bass..jeez
...
3-4 is nothing lol. The Warwick Thumb is 5-6 thousand easily. I check everywhere I could, and never found the damn thing. I miss it. the neck was all smooth and... well... almost sensual HAHAH. It was a sexy piece of equipment. I hardly ever play anymore since everyone around here is either into Emo or Hardcore, and I can't stand either. I'll play in anything but those 2 types.
...
yeah i mean its not bad for what your getting...but still...haha i dont have 3 or 4 g's just sitting around to throw down on a bass...however i playguitar and im lucky enough to be endorsed..but still...and damn that sucks so bad that you couldnt find it....haha i dont like emo..but i like hardcore...im alright friends with a bunch of hardcore/metalcore bands..i just cant stand the fans of that music..that stupid punch dancing ****...i guess its kinda fun to watch from a stage..but still...
...
I cannot stand pit-dancing. That's where I become uber-metal head. HEAD BANGING ONLY. But hey. Remember now, they're all usually 15-16 year old kids trying to be cool with their friends.
...
yeah...im with you on that one 100%...its funny/sad b/c if you watch it...people dont even get to enjoy the f'n show b/c half the time..AT LEAST 3/4 rows of people around that pit are watching them making sure they arent going to get socked....only kid i ever saw doing it where i was like "woah kick ass" was this chinese kid at a showbread (haha i know) concert and he was doing liek backflips and **** hahaha...
...
When we go to a metal show, there is ALWAYS an emo/hardcore kid trying to pit-dance. It's funny to see them get clobbered by some huge angry Metal-head.
...
i think the best i have ever seen it...was when we were on the jager tour with slayer, killswitch engage, and mastodon...all the HARDCORE slayer fans against the metalcore killswitch fans..however killswitch engage is my fav. band...but still...man those slayer guys were killing the young'ns....this marine DI that came with us almost killed one of the kids i thought
...
Yeah. It can get bad if there is someone at a show that they don't want there. It's all fun though unless people are being jackasses. But that hardly happens.
...
true that...the craziest people i have ever discovered in a pit was gwar...there were some nuts in that bitch...blades and ****..one dude even had a gun on his ankle..i was like F this im going over to the other side lol
...
man that urks me i cant stand that stuff i would love to taze someone by the way lol
...
hahaha that just made me laugh out loud lol...that would be rad..and im not talking about the tazer that you have to hold to their body im talking about the one that shoots out of the gun with the wires...now that would be rad
