See you then!
END LIVESTREAM UPDATE!
It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve had a Pokemon strip. Even though I haven’t played any Pokemon games recently, it’s never a bad time to doodle Chespin!
He’s just the cutest.
Phil the Photo Guy, on the other hand… who knows what his personal gallery contains,,, totally possible he’s a creeper.
On the concept of creepers, I had the pleasure of experiencing a creeper at the grocery store yesterday. Creeper may not be the right word here, as what happened wasn’t frightening or made me fearful, but I definitely felt uneasy.
While walking down the meats aisle, there was an older woman arguing with a stock clerk about the price of a particular cut. From the small amount I overheard, the lady declared that the price was too high and did not reflect what the sales guide (a little three to four page magazine showing what was on sale that week) claimed.
The clerk took a look at her guide, and said it was from earlier in the month.
“No! This is correct!” she declared, exactly as I was walking by.
“Hang on a moment,” I heard her say. At this point I immediately stopped walking.
Not because I was upset about this person reading the riot act to some random employee who didn’t deserve it (though I was), but because my basket suddenly became extremely heavy.
I turned my head to check was was going on and…
The lady was fishing around my basket, picking up stuff and moving it around.
“Ah hah!” she exclaimed, brandishing the sales guide that was previously at the bottom of my basket. I’ll admit, I was completely shocked at this lady’s total disregard for other people’s private space.
“Can I borrow this?” she asked afterwards, as if she was being polite.
All I could muster was a completely bewildered stare and then walked away.
“No! Don’t go anywhere!” she yelled at me, “You’ll get it back!”
Oh, how considerate.
In hindsight, I really wish I stuck around to see whether or not she was correct about the price of the meat. Though I suppose she’d just complain her way into getting what she wanted should she had been proven wrong.
I get the feeling she’s the type of person who views the word “no” as just a minor obstacle.
I hate people like that grocery store lady. I have a friend, and by friend I mean person who won’t go away, who argues everything until people get annoyed and give up arguing with him. He believes this makes him a super genius because he never loses an argument.
It’s often better to just let someone “win” if they act that way. No use getting yourself bent out of shape over an argument!
This site is like VG cats but actually updated. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I appreciate your readership!
OK, nice to know there are these kind of people all around the world.
Got myself worried for nothing. XD
Silly people are found everywhere! I just happen to run into a lot due to living in a large city.
I thought the comic was going to be a joke about how you call Phil from wherever he is, get him to take a picture, and he still acts cheerful if you don’t leave him a tip. That always makes me feel guilty as hell.
As for the grocery store lady, I always wonder why people act like that when the most they could be saving is a few dollars, maybe. Do they really think that kind of money is worth acting up, causing a scene and making the day harder for everyone around them?
Whaaaaaaaa? You don’t tip Phil the Photo Guy? I ALWAYS TIP! I couldn’t really tell you why I’d feel guilty over not tipping a fictional character, but I do!
You can always make it up to Phil by tipping from now on =P
I would have loved to have seen that grocery store story on video, lol.
Me too. I’d want to see if she touched the uncovered celery I had. That way I’d know to give it an extra wash before eating =P
People who won’t accept no, and think they are always right. Might as well chalk up my entire family for that.
Why can’t you take off your hat in the game, it’s ridiculous. I always thought it was strange that this guy just zips all over the place just to take a photo, WITHOUT PAY. But this may be the secret to our dear little Phil….. hmmmmm…..
Oh well, I’ll tip him anyway! He is taking my picture for free anyway, isn’t he?
I’m sorry I missed the stream. I just watched the sunrise and now it’s time for sleep.
