  • Shitty gas station job I worked at in my late teens tried to switch to those ratfucking cash cards and end paper checks. They claimed that the first withdrawal or use on the card from any location wouldn’t charge us any fees.

    I proved that wrong by trying to get my full paycheck out of the ATM we had in the store and got slapped with a 10 dollar fee. When my boss shrugged and said “Oh, well” I went home and looked up the state labor laws about these fucking cards. Turns out they weren’t allowed to charge fees in my state at all and any use of such fees would be treated as wage theft.

    Company changed their tune real quick when I threatened HR about going to our local daily and the labor department about it. Paper paychecks were suddenly an option again and everyone got a $25 bonus for whatever fees they lost. Fuckers. I quit three months later.




  • My first hands-on experience with the Internet was at a friend’s house in the early 90s in 4th or 5th grade. I’d seen it before on various classroom computers but I never got a chance to use it because the teachers all seemed to agree on putting the unstable desk-throwing kids in front of them for the school day to keep them distracted.
