Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

op

ho-lee shit. i skimmed this and i'm already hurting but when i re-read it later in more detail would you mind if i asked for some specifics about some bullet points? if not it's fine you've already offered a lot and i'm sure this was painful for you to relive anyway

i really do appreciate the length of this list though you are brave for dealing with all of this shit, i'd never be able to

sure, i'll try to answer them as best i'm able!

tbh it was kind of cathartic. a few of the more horrible bullet points of that stuff (mostly the gun and things) i don't tell people like parents or friends because i know how they'd react. so thank you for letting me vent tl;dr all over your post.

the thing about it is that while you're in the middle of all that crazy, it's hard to see just how crazy it really is. then you get out of it and look back it's like what the shit, how did i even do that for so long. but you'd be amazed how quickly it just turns into routine.

one time i was up on a ladder restocking these little fuzzy animal doll things we carried and a customer literally tried to push my ladder over, like just grab it out from under me, to get my attention. i was standing on the very top rung, over hard concrete floor, and i'm terrified of heights

would i be able to ask for more details on how this went over?

people will walk in at two minutes to close and pitch a fit that you're closing.

i know this happens to people in EVERY job, as it happened to me a lot too, but if you have any particularly interesting stories regarding this i'd like to hear.

if someone's being extra nice to you, they probably stole something. learned this the hard way more than once.

if you'd like to pick a "favourite" time this happened and describe it to me, i'd love that.

again, thanks for this long, detailed post. i'm glad you found it more cathartic than anything else and that it was a good source of venting!
