post rec!

Because those of us who were not drowned in love and affection and chocolate yesterday--well, this will make us feel better. As we were not here.

Valentine's Day at a Sex Shop

“I used to be a Girl Scout,” I say.

“Girl Scout?”

“Yeah.”

“Like, Brownies, and stuff?”

“Yeah, except I did the whole thing – Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors. I was a Girl Scout until I graduated from high school. I went hiking and earned patches and... I volunteered at a nursing home.” I look back down at the vibrators. “Somewhere, something changed.”


Also, below cut:



And then the comments.

I'm thinking on this. On one hand--community, and I have no idea if posting in communities have a brevity standard.

On the other; seriously? I thought we were supposed to strive to be interesting. Or at least, you know, format and all.

The internet, she confuses me.

...okay that's weird because I KNOW THAT COMMENTOR.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-02-15 08:08 pm (UTC)
Hee! RL or Online?

I was all freaked out because--God. Interesting is good! Formatting is good!. NO TEXT WALL OF EVIL.

Just. Gah.

IRL, we haven't seen each other for a while (will probably in april actually) but he's on my flist and everything. Woah. Also? He's being an asshole. Two pages of funny + costumer being stupid. That's not tl:dr

I went to their journal and saw you friended and wondered whether it was IRL.

That makes the entire exchange even more amusing :)

Heh. I'm amused byt his LJ. It makes sense with his tl;dr complaint ;)

And suddenly, my day got much better.

I want a riding crop.

Wow. Wank re: length notwithstanding, that post was hysterical. Reminds me of a blog I used to read years ago written by a woman working at a porn video store.

I get the tl;dr thing, since it's a comm, but from what I can tell, it's cut-tagged, and not any longer on the main page than any of the other posts. Maybe it wasn't originally cut-tagged, I don't know. I wouldn't have personally cared, because I thought it was well-written and funny in a "thank you Jesus that I no longer have to work retail EVER AGAIN" kind of way.

Thanks for sharing that entry, Jenn.

That comm is big enough that someone's going to whine no matter what, really. It's wankbait. Great post, though.

God I love that comm. Someday I'll have to join to post tales from my 7-11 days, or better yet, Tales From Working in a Head Shop on the Drag days. Good times. /sarcasm

The commentor? Is an ass, and needs an attitude adjustment. Preferably from Bam.

I know that sex shop. It's very nice.

I was a Brownie dropout. Not so much for the group activities in those days.

Junior scout dropout myself. Funny as heck. I know a few people who have worked in sex shops. It wasn't the customers so much as the "booths" that got old, apparently.

Hee! Thanks for that link... loved the post... loved the whining commenter's smack downs too...

I'd love to post there but I figure our customers, erm, clients are still covered by legal privilege... :(

But my favorite 0.o client comment?

"I stabbed her before and she didn't die."

the fuckwad's serving major time now...
