i just went full mexican on some entitled woman at the store. she flipped out on me, so i told her the world didn't revolve around her and congratulated her for being such a shining example for her child. This actually made my stomach feel better and i think i released a few weeks of work related stress on her. better luck next time lady. peace out. #dontfuckwithmerightnow

Freddy Kruger mistakenly attacks a teenager who is skilled at lucid dreaming.
Freddy slowly lifted his head from the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood. He continued to lie motionless for a moment, relishing the fact that he was back on solid ground. It didn't take him long to get back to his feet and scan the horizon for the kid. The last thing he remembered was floating helplessly out in space, while the kid attacked him from all angles, zipping around at near light speed.
"This little shit has superpowers. How the fuck did he get supe-"
Freddy was cut off mid-sentence by the boy rising from the ground underneath his feet, and was launched a half-mile across the desert. This time he did not have the strength to stand back up. He locked eyes with the kid, whose orange Dragonball-Z robe was somehow still clean and free of tearing. Fighting back would do no good even if he could stand, as Freddy's razors had vanished mysteriously the instant he entered the dream. He had assumed this fat acne-ridden child would be easy prey.
Julio hovered about 50 feet above the badly bruised mutant and shouted down to him.
"It looks like my power level is higher than yours, Frieza."
"My name is Freddy. Freddy Kruger." It was little more than a hoarse whisper, but Julio heard him anyway.
"Well now your name is Dead Motherfucker!" Julio shouted as he stretched his hands out in front of him. "Kaaaaaameeeeeeeh..."
"What are you doing?"
"...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEE...
"STOP. I SURRENDER."
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
"OH SHIII-" The Elm Street stalker was erased in a flash of light.
--------------
Julio sprung awake and glanced at his bedside clock. 5:13 AM. He clutched his stomach and groaned in pain as he laid his head back on the pillow. "This is the last time I eat all my Halloween candy in one night."

Just read Tim Burton's bio on Wikipedia and he's quoted as saying, "The reason I've never been a comic book fan – and I think it started when I was a child – is because I could never tell which box I was supposed to read."
I felt the same way but never heard anyone else put it into words. I always read the wrong speech bubble or the wrong frame out of order.

so i did some website work for this random guy who i met through a old coworker. His site needed to go live today. I spent long hours getting it done as he kept asking for changes that was never discussed in our agreement. I ended up charging an extra $200 and he agreed. 3 days ago i finished and told him usually i ask for full payment before making changes live, in his case i made them live so he could make his site live. he ended up telling me hes going to push the release of his site back a week so i had more time but he is thankful for me putting in the effort and getting it done in advance. He said instead of sending me my money he wanted me to go to his release party and collect the check then. I had prior engagements at 7pm, his shin dig was at 5pm one hour and 30 minutes out of my way, i went anyways. I drove 1hr 30min to his party and told him i cannot stay longer than 30minutes, he asked that i stay for his presentation I said ok. His presentation was 20minutes late, minutes before he did his presentation i was really forced to tell him i cannot stay because i must go, and asked him for payment.
he told me oh i forgot, darn shoot....walked off and did his presentation. I became a bit pissed off and due to the people blocking exits to fit everyone in the room i felt it would be too rude to leave as he was doing his speech so i quietly stayed and enjoyed his presentation and clapped along with everyone else. After he was done I walked up to shake his hand and as he did so i said "Congr.." to be interrupted by "yea yea i get it you have to go" , he released grip, turn and started talking to someone putting his back to me and doing all this with this attitude of a 15 year old kid. I tried to pull him aside to ask why the attitude but just walked the opposite direction ignoring me.
I left afterwards. I was late for my prior engagements, i drove almost three hours for a promised check only to receive attitude after all ive done for him.
the kicker is he told his attendees he is going to have me doing another site for him which was never discussed one on one but told 25+ people like the contract had already been agreed apon.
I don't know how i feel about this.
- he was pissed you stuck around... his plan was to string you along till the very last minute and go to his presentation w/out paying you...PonyBoy
- ... when he saw you there afterward he went right into anger-mode because he expected you would bail and he could get away w/out paying right nowPonyBoy

Hey xxx,
Regarding yesterday, I'm a bit offended in your attitude when coming up to you to congratulate you on your opening presentation. As you know I jumped through hoops to make it to your event and unfortunately could not stay because my ride's wife wanted him home by 7pm.
I have bent over backwards to complete your website before the 1st, i've gone out of my way to go to your event to support you and all i received was attitude and also did not receive closing payment. This is why I never release my work until receiving full payment. I spent $40 to go to you event in which you specifically said you would be making payment for services rendered. Instead you give me a excuse and walk away from me without a full explanation, this is unexceptionable. I decided to be professional and stay for your presentation only to receive childish attitude as I shake your hand followed by you turning your back on me. This is not how you do business.
I have froze your site, I will put it back as soon as I have received payment for my services. If you decide to pay me via check/snail mail your site will frozen until i physically have been paid.
If you have any questions you can email me.
Thanks for your time.

- ahh fuck whatevers
my grammar is fucking awful. live with it******** - That's not a grammar issue, that's the completely wrong word and, if you've already sent it, means the opposite of what you're trying to imply.detritus
- is all this for the $200 extra? I must be missing something since everyone thinks you're justified, but I believe you're overreactingGnash
- I came here for the unexceptionable too.********
- I hope it wasn't for a measly $200, from what I understood it was a ton more but the 200 was just a little extra bit at the end for the extra work?_niko

The consequences will never be the same.******** - *an excuse********

- Appreciate your frustration, but not a fan of "This is not how you do business." statements. Your intention may be authoritative, but the perception is petulanthellobotto
- If you don't believe they know how to conduct proper business, then don't do further business with them, and move along once your contract is settled.hellobotto
- Apologies for the curtness, and don't want to squash hurt feelings, but tomorrow's worthless if you're stuck on yesterday.hellobotto

- I hope this wasn't sent and froze.meffid
- No one ever takes these as a lesson learned so its a waste. Just freeze the site and ask for payment and let him know its policy. Thats the pro move.MHDC
- have you sent it?pango
