 This is the driving force behind my post. He will eat you. |

I recently gave my boss at the pet store my two weeks notice. I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes. I'm psychic as you may have just found out.
Anyhow, today was my last day on the job. Not really a sad event, but at the end of the day, I still looked back to think about all the times I had.. I thought about the time I sold that cute kitty. And that time I fed the cute kitty. And that time that I pet the cute kitty. And then I thought about how we didn't have any cats at our store, and I wonder what lie my life has been living and where I was at the time.
So here are a few final thoughts. What makes them final? The fact that after I'm done writing this, the earth will exlode.
(Edit: Appearantly we're all still here so please disregaurd all instances of the word final, and replace with the word "buttercup".)
1. People in this nice area of New Hampshire cannot understand the conecept of not being white trash.
This is a simple concept that eludes 90% of the population of NH. And then the world. People just can't figure out that washing your shirt, or combing your hair or not wearing a wife beater everywhere can actually improve your appearance. I'd say that almost all the people I saw coming through the pet store were white trash. I pass horrible judgments on these people based soley on their looks. Now I know what you're thinking (you can call me Mr. Cleo)... You can't judge a book by it's cover. This is where you're wrong. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that wearing wife beaters and the like conveys the "I'm white trash" message. So, if someone thinks it's cool or presentable to not shower and wear jeans enormously too big for them (or shirts too small, ladies that one's for you) then possibly there's something wrong upstairs. And that makes it ok to pass judgment. Because if they're stupid, it's ok to call them stupid. If it's ok to call Einstein smart (that's a judgement) then you can do the opposite and say Bush is stupid (oh no political jokes again, somebody get the remote). It's the same principle, oh ye of double standards.
2. Cute girls don't go to pet stores. Except this one time, but that was forced. I'm not going to get into that.
4. People in general are surprised to see that hampsters really do bounce.
No not really. But people really ARE surprised that rats are better pets than hampsters. I'm not going to get into a lot of details of that, but it's quite simple, rats are more friendly. What is interesting is how everybody has a preconceived hatred of rats.. because "eww look at that tail" or "haven't you ever seen that movie where they guy trains rats to kill people?"
I need to say that I see nothing wrong with their tails, and as for the killing.. I think I've heard more stories of trained dogs for killing people.. but everybody still loves dogs. So get over it.
I'm not trying to convince everyone here to love rats, but it is interesting to see such preconcieved hatred towards something before they really get to know it. Remember black people? And Gays? Rats are just another victim.
5. People who work at pet stores can't count.
There is more, but I fear I'll have to wait for another time to finish posting the rest.
