Pissed off the lady who runs one of the local bookstores

[Arcanetrance]

I was out with a friend and we stopped for lunch. Well there was a bookstore that just opened next to the restaurant so I figured I'd stop in. I was looking for a copy of paradise lost for my niece since she was wanting to read it I figured it'd be a nice gift to send to her. Well she takes me over to the classics section to help me look and I notice for some reason she has Ayn Rand filed in the classics. So curiously I decided to ask if it was a mistake or what. Well she went off into this speech about atlas shrugged being a literary classic and how it changed her life reading and everyone should read. Than she decided to try and convince me to get it I politely informed her I've read it and I find Ayn Rand to be a hack. Well she lost it and went off about her warnings about socialism in America becoming true at which point I stopped the lady and informed her well in true capitalistic spirit this borderline socialist will be taking his business elsewhere. Yes I probably brought it upon myself for asking in the first place.

1. LOL!

well done!

[Arcanetrance]

2. My friend told me it could have been avoided by my not asking.

But I couldn't leave it alone Ayn Rand shouldn't be put in the same room with the books it was with

4. The other bookstores got tired of her constantly putting it in that section and banned her.

So she decided to open her own bookstore to have it that way.

[Arcanetrance]

5. Even if you pretend her philosophical books didn't exist nothing else she wrote was worth reading

either in my opinion.

3. You done good!

Any Rand was a hack, and that bookstore owner is an idiot.

6. lol! good job.

while you're at it, get her the soundtrack too.

[Arcanetrance]

7. Lol that was the other thing that amused me I was wearing a belphegor shirt she couldn't stop

staring at

[OriginalGeek]

11. man I keep missing Belphegor!

I think they've been through here or near enough like 3 times in the last several years and every time I couldn't go for one reason or another.

But I love wearing band shirts and just watching people try to figure out WTF that is...

[Arcanetrance]

13. They always put a great show on and helmuth is really cool with the fans

His choice of beer could be better last time I saw him I bought him a beer and he asked for a lone star

[OriginalGeek]

15. lol, Lone Star ain't so bad

my friend always said it tasted like refried beans but I never could figure out what he was complaining about. I love refried beans!

I guess when you come from a country where the shittiest beers are still as good as craft brews here, you might wanna go beer slumming...


I fully intend to not miss them next chance I get.

[Arcanetrance]

16. Lol I don't taste the refried beans

No Lone Star isn't terrible I've drank a lot worse. I had a friend convince me to drink Thunderbird once

[OriginalGeek]

17. lol, you sure he was a friend?

cuz that's a rotten thing to do to a friend...

[Arcanetrance]

18. we always dared each other to eat or drink terrible things

He did the Thunderbird thing mainly cause I had him drink Irish rose the week before

[OriginalGeek]

19. Ah well then

turn about is fair play.

8. Next: engage someone in a parking lot a Ron Pual number sticker on their car.

Then hit yourself in the head with a tack hammer.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. Sorry. Meant to be a joke.

As in, the two acts would feel the same.

[Arcanetrance]

14. Shit sorry I took it out of context

I'm sorry too

9. It would have been a waste of money

But I would have bought two copies, grabbed a trash can, lit them on fire out front of the store, walked back in with my receipt and said "If you really believe in capitalism, you'll give me a refund. These didn't burn very well".
