They knew two guys who were standing in front of me & so the conversation started between the two groups. So after discussing which mutual friends were riding who these days, how they shouldn't be standing in the queue because ' those cnuts behind the counter know I'm not working so why the fcuk should I have to wait, sure I've never had a job ha ha ha', one of the daughters who was no more than 14 asked her mother for a ' fag, I'm dyin' for one & you never bought me any this morning ', the other daughter who is about 17 started saying that she wants to be settled in a new house before the baby is born & ' yer wan behind the counter better not give me any bull**** '. Anyone else have story to add?

In both situations I was amazed at how they managed to treat the whole thing as a fun night out. Seriously all they were missing was a few high stools & drinks.

Doctors have forced me to be on dissability allowance...but im still out looking for work and volunteering. neither of those are my fault. give the man the benefit of the doubt...you dont know him or his situation (s)
