» When animals attack...

My mum was attacked by a horny dog,
but the neighbor who owned it seemed to think it was perfectly normal that her dog was shagging my mother's leg. It ended up tearing her pants on that leg to pieces and she had several deep claw marks. When my mother went over to ask the neighbor to get the dog's nuts chopped off for the sake of the many children who lived there, the neighbor refused then bought her an "I'm sorry" gift - a t-shirt with a dog humping a man's face, attached to a leash held by another man saying "he likes you". My mum still wears it from time to time.

» Sacked

Also thought this sorta applied to the topic...
I applied for an after-school job at chuckie E.cheese (for you brits it's an american kid's pizza place with a ball pit and tickets for prizes). The manager seemed interested in hiring me since I had a job with children before (not babysitting) and I had huge knockers. Unfortunately a week later I get a call back asking me to drive halfway across town to Chuck E. Cheeses to be told I couldn't be hired because my grades were too high and I couldn't commit fully as an employee.

At this time they had a "good grades" campaign where if you brought in your good report card you would get free tokens for games in number relative to the amount of A's, B's, etc. I didn't understand it.

I even told the guy in my interview I never did any schoolwork so school was not a problem. Cheeky bastard.

I've never been sacked
But my dad sure has. His company told him he needed to sell more a certain brand of products or they will fire him. He refuses and adds they'll never do so because he is too important. They fire him on the spot and he leaves saying they're all a bunch of nasty cunts and such and he quits.

My mom joking asks later on "why are you home so early? Fired?" to which he replies "well actually yes I was". He never got another job after that except for temp work (which he actually makes decent money doing but blows it all on his mid-life crisis band equipment).

It was also my 13th birthday. What a great way to become a teenager.

The other day he bought me a suit for my new job starting this summer. Ironic.

» Child Labour

I was forced.
My mother and grandmum when I was a kid used to make extra money having garage sales and selling stuff at flea markets at every free weekend. So any extra unpayable worker they could get to help them was drafted - including me and my sis. Unfortunately my sister being an utter cunt and the fact that everyone knew they weren't gonna get paid left me their only option a good deal of the time. So primary school age me got stuck every saturday in the blazing hot sun either helping to sell my old toys and clothes (which sometimes my mum sold without even telling me beforehand) or cheap school supplies to old women with fanny packs and bright-colored stretch pants looking for stuff to give their grandkids.

My reward for my chlid labor: the ability for me and my sis to eat school lunches everyday. And the occasional sunburn.

I have two jobs now and neither of them are in retail.

Spiders
Contrary to popular thought, daddy longlegs are not the most poisionous spider in the world AND do have the ability to bite. Their bites are so tiny most don't notice them.

Thank you myth-busters.
