As a cashier in a store without labelled or numbered isles, I'm required to ask the customers if they've found everything they were looking for so that in the event that they can't find something I can show them where it is. The most common response I get is: "I wasn't looking for anything," as they then scurry well over 50$ - $150 worth of totally arbitrary home decor and bath and body supplies onto the counter. My internal monologue responds with: "So let me get this straight: I'm the guy behind the register ringing you up, I work here, and I can't afford a #5 meal on the McDonald's menu across the parking lot for my lunch break, but you're going to arbitrarily spend like $150 on totally useless and unnecessary home decor? Thanks, *******..."

Is the customer or your inner monologue the trite one that one of you thinks is profound?

I usually do this too. The thing is, I just wanna mind my own business and figure out on my own what I wanna buy. If I need help, I'm asking for it. Not you fault of course, since it's store policy and well meaning either way.

"Everything happens for a reason".

I really wish people who shut the fuck up with this one.

Especially when it refers to something else than basic cause and effect.
Which is usually the case.

So "nothing happens for a reason" would be a better saying.

Yeah, usually people say it to mean that there's some greater cosmic purpose behind everything that happens. Which is not only dumb, but pretty disgusting when you consider the myriad senseless, horrific things that fall under the umbrella of "everything".

Next time people say that just say, "Like child rape!"


One that bothers me is the "You know you're doing good when you got haters!" To which my response is "That's why pedophiles are on top of the world."

What annoys me the most is when people say things that you know is complete bull**** coming from them. The "I think freely" joker meme bull****. You can't consider yourself the pinnacle of individuality when you're such a cliche.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

True, honesty is total bull****. The universe definitely cares about you and everything's going to work out swimmingly...but only if you're grateful!
