War Room Lounge V48: Everybody's a little racist, except me

[The Diplomat]

I'm the guy who is made up of rats in a trench coat

Which I guess would make you a big rat in a trench coat.

I mean I get the metaphor but I'm still lost.

I bought my daughter a shirt from American Eagle yesterday. The lady at the register tells me the price, then says its going to pop up on the screen for donations for LGBTQ's. I asked her "for what?" She looked at me like I was the devil. I said "you dont just ask people to donate money to a group like that, what is the money used for?, does its just go to LGBTQ people for being who they are, and they just give them money?". Again, she looks at me and gives some kind of heavy sigh. I told her i no longer wanted the shirt and walked out.

Just as you relayed this online, she has as well on twitter or Facebook or whatever. I wish I could see all the mirrored situations of this play out and then see each persons rendition of the event online.

Women should wear boots with suits for sure. It's a powerful expression of the legs and coolly vagina-affirming.

Boots with suits is such a fun rhyme.

Not Keto but trying to keep away from bread carbs

Which one were you again?

He's the bunch of rats in a coat

Hmmm.


I would ask what specific group it was going to first, and then adjust accordingly.

Did they really say "donations for the LGBTQs" ?

You asked a minimum wage worker to explain the specifics of a charity organization that the corporate board has decided to push and you had a hussy fit.

You really showed her lol

It's means he is literally a bunch of rats in a coat instead of a human being

So because she works a minimum wage job shes inferior to me? That's some low shit. How do you know this isnt a second job for her, or maybe she's working her way through school in a major i couldnt understand basic courses?

Yeah, she said just said in lesser words, donate to the LGBTQ community

Still didnt get my money

Interdasting. Salty does that and yet he tried to have someone banned for posting a pic that he himself posted on here.

He's not honest what anything he posts. I would bet him his account on it @Fawlty. Josh posted a picture of my father and I at an offshoot and he loved every second of it. I don't have any reason to lie or care but it's laughable how fake he is. He also brought Josh back here as soon as I got banned. Ask @Madmick. He won't post anything now

I'm "a couple dozen large rats inside a trenchcoat."

She's not inferior to you but why would you expect her to know that?

It's somewhat common for retail places to have an option to donate to some charity with your purchase.

It never crossed my mind to interrogate the person working the register about the charity. If I'm familiar with the charity and support it I donate. If I'm unfamiliar with the charity I don't donate. If I'm curious about the charity I look it up afterwards.

It seems to me like you were looking for an argument.

The company is putting an undue burden on the employee and you are taking out some frustration on that employee.

It's just being a dick for no reason.

If you said no thanks and she had a "deep sigh" you might be able to claim some type of minor grievance that she was shaming you into donating but that doesn't seem to be the case

"Daddy, did you get me that shirt today?"

"Uh...no, Sweetie. You see, the gay community was very non-specific with me at the cash register so I blamed the cashier and left without your shirt."​

"Mom, did you sign the divorce papers yet? Dad's losing his fucking mind again."

I should find more opportunities to post white stripes songs

Its her job, why wouldn't she want to know that? If she asked for my money. I don't represent that conpany, she does. I would never assume "oh this poor soul works minimum wage, so she probably just works enough to get by."

EDIT :If it comes up on the screen and i xan discreetly hit "no", why ask me in front of other people?

This just makes no sense. Why would my wife have divorce papers?
