Want a hug?
And a kiss?
I was thinking of the more bigoted and boring type but Frith in the hedges that would be... more interesting but horrible.Radelaide said:
I guess it would be just being in a very small room, without any light, without being able to sit or lay down, without being able to sleep.
You would go crazy in no time.

Having no arms and being forced to hang out with clicks of chatty egotistical self centered materialistic clingy preps, who expect me to hold all their shopping bags(even though I don't have any fucking arms) just because I'm a guy, and being mute so I'm unable to say anything, with hany montany or whatever the fuck her name is in the background... and everything is pink, god I hate pink

Ummm a bus full of dirty, smelly teenagers taking the piss out of what I'm wearing. Oh wait, that was yesterday.
Being trapped in a room w/ multiple Nathan Drakes and Paris Hiltons and one Miley Cyrus.
Also, the cupcake from Scrubs being held by the women of my dreams on a pedastal I can't reach.
All while watching the View.

Straped to a chair forced to play Too Human while looped Crazy Frog music plays in the background.
Warning : contains rude words of the highest order towards end. and mild peril.
For me, it'd be something I've already experienced...maybe slightly off topic, and definately too long, but what the hell, its free therapy for me, venting.
Even as a store clerk, I had a certain pride in my job, wanted to help people, make the day go smoothly, keep complaints to a minimum.
Then...
We get a new assistant manager.
Who is OBSESSED with keeping shelves full. To the point where he blows 3 months of stationary budget in a week ordering empty VHS cases (at a time when we were phasing out sales of VHS) and clogging up the main office with huge boxes of plastic pointlessness.
Now, I'd like to say, that at every spare moment in the day, he'd order someone to go and 'pad out' the shelves, that is, find anywhere with empty space, and put empty cases behind things so that the shelves looked full.
To the point where our DVD chart looked like this. We'd have Terminator 3 at number one, but stock problems, so we'd only have like 3 copies before opening, and they'd last for about 4 minutes. Number 2 would be like 'the office' series 2 and we'd have 80 copies in.

2: O2 O2 O2 O2 3: Something else.....
Of course, wanting to make the place look nice, I'd suggest, why not move T3 down a few spaces, or move place 2 up a bit. 'No, we can't deviate from the chart layout, it would look 'bad''.
I said earlier that "I'd like to say" because he didn't wait for a spare moment. We'd usually have 10 people in on a saturday, one morning 7 called in sick, leaving him me and one other (good) guy. We're flooded with customers, queues out the door, and he's telling me to get off the second till after that customer, to go and pad out the empty spaces in the chart.
Saturday lunchtime - peak sales time - 2 staff and him instead of 10 - 'can you stop selling things to customers and making money for the store you work for, and go move some pointless boxes around instead?' Note by lunchtime, the chart was pretty much entirely empty, so I was being told to put empty video cases in front of bare shelves, then put nothing in front of them to show the big stock of nothing we had. Instead of taking money from people and putting it in the till.
We made unofficial and official complaints and NOTHING touched him, in fact when I confronted him one day, the next morning I was in a disciplinary meeting with the area boss for 'affecting staff morale'.
So, yes, my hell would be being back in that job, without any of the great staff, just me, him, and an endless stream of my worst customers (that would be a whole new thread), and him magically invincible to death, pain or injury). Me and him alone in a room with nothing but a blunt pencil however, that might just be heaven, provided I can keep the rage buried long enough to not allow him the release of death too early.
He did many other supremely annoying things also, but it was the sheer lack of any idea of how to run a store, with a view to selling things to people, that drove me most nuts I think.
Wasn't just me, either, we used to play a game where you'd try to invent a way to kill him. That was it, just be creative, visceral and don't skip the gory details.
The other game was someone would go (boss name) and someone else would go ****. then the second player would have to say the name louder, and the third player had match volume with the expletive, until someone bottled out. Once my mate had people on the floor in pain, because he'd noticed it was only us staff and his friends in store, we didn't know that so when it came to his turn, he just yelled it at top volume with no sense of covering up.
On that note I thoroughly recommend the '****' game, it livens up any slow day at work.
