Okay. So this is basically a conversation for EVERYONE who would like to join in on the convo.
Basically, anyone.
Anyways...welcome!!!
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

I actually checked out the gun permit stuff in Finland. It's actually fairly strict.
1. You have to give a valid reason for owning a gun. No, self-defence isn't a valid reason.
2. No concealed carry. At all.
3. The first permit is usually for either a single-shot shotgun or a gun that shoots .22LR.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Here's
more info.

Sigh...
Well, today suddenly got very interesting...
It's the weekend before school starts, so of course there's gonna be a ton of people shopping last minute.
But the debit/credit thing suddenly crashed, so people could only use cash/checks. And then the registers would freeze up whenever someone tried to use a check. After a while of that, every single register in the store froze up and wouldn't scan anything. So people started leaving tons and tons of carts behind.
Oh, and there was a CSM who was constantly stating over the intercom what was going on, but people still kept trying to pay for things with debit/credit, even though it was down. They all ended up waiting in a really long line at the only ATM in the whole store.
I ended up having to rescan one whole order because a CSM aborted it when I just needed to suspend it while the lady went and got cash.
Thankfully, throughout the whole thing, I didn't have a single customer who was rude to me for being so slow because of the registers. ^_^
But yeah....As soon as I saw all the people, I just knew something was up...
Bored SBaneN appears... again...
Why is it that it always rains when a person doesn't want it to rain?
(This post will probably reveal the truth.)
I know, the point here is that my bad luck demanded that a storm seen once in a decade, as described by the weather agency themselves, decided to break out exactly that one day. We had to evacuate the area the next day because we were warned the landscape was gonna change dramatically within the next hours and we were fucked if we stayed there.
...
In any case.
I believe I should be grateful for being too much of a coward to start an RP at TV Tropes.
... Apparently, going to sleep at about 03:30 AM and waking up at 07:30 AM is a bad idea... :/

I'm in Finland.
Not all of us live in the US.
