Joaquin Arias' egomania as big as my beastliness

Who does this guy think he is?

First of all, he owes his soul to this organization for sticking with him through his complete shit play and his injuries. 

"I don't know what happened last year," Arias said. "I want to forget about last year."

You don't know what happened last year?  Lets start with you measly body getting injured like it always does.

I'm reading this DMN article about this guy and it is making me sick. 

"It's my passion to play shortstop," Arias said. "But I'll play anywhere."

Ok, do I also need to remind him how many errors he had at shortstop?  Yeah, like 6 high fives worth.  IN AA.

"Maybe one day I'll play every day with another team," Arias said.

Oh, its nice to know you are so dedicated to this organization that you are already thinking about where you are going to play next.

Ive never liked this kid, he thinks he is so cool because he was part of the A-Rod deal.  Know what?  Well I have news, you are a nobody Arias, A nobody.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, you know how my wallet and stuff got lost?  I called them and told them to send me a new card which they did.  They gave me a new pin and so I went to the ATM and the pin didn't work.  I stood there doing it like 20 times getting more and more angry.  Then I was doing it again, and the damn machine ATE the card and said that the bank requested that it take it.  I get pissed.

So I started a chase account here, which is good because I was getting annoyed paying 6 dollars every time I use an ATM machine here(no Bank of America's here)

The people at chase are pretty slimy, all hidden fee's and shit.  I avoided all this stuff, but banks are slimy people.

Walmart pisses me off.  They think they are so slick with their 6 dollars an hour salary, they think they have power.  I went with a few people at 4:30 in the morning and want to ride the electric wheelchairs or whatever.  So we start riding them and they start yelling to stop.  I'm like no, I'm going like 1 mile per hour I think you can walk over here.  They come over and tell me to get off.  I say no, I am a paying customer and we are the only people in the store so its not that big of a deal. 

Then the other night, I go with different people and I start throwing balls around.  My friend throws one at one of the signs that hangs from the ceiling over the frozen food section and the sign falls.  I see this guy with a few people cracking up, and I'm like "hey that guy looks familiar".  My ex is like "thats our sociology professor".  I start cracking up, our professor is 24 years old and looks like your typical frat guy.  Its just funny because I didn't recognize who he was at first.  Well anyway, I go up to the front of the store and get confronted by these walmart employees.  They are like "hand over you alls balls".  I was like "no, I'm buying this".  Long story short, they got pissed.  They know I hide balls all over the store whenever I go which is like everyday.  Those people hate me there, I don't care though. 

Who are they?

Who be me?

Thats what I thought.

walmart

if wally word is your past time, i recommend finding a kid that will drive you further to cooler stuff. i spent my 1st couple years at ETSU or A&M Commerce and after a certain point i came to realize that if i was willing to end up at Walmart for an evening of fun and hell-raising, i coulda probably done better.

that and you end up collecting every Nerf Gun ever created.

Rode around in the motorized carts? I’m all for reasonably stupid hi-jinks, but that’s an 8th grade move, not a college one.

Ok,

I never did any of those stupid things in Walmart. I did attempt to destroy myself in many different ways in college, but I didn’t take it out on other people or destroy (much) property intentionally.

One of my college friends rode one of those motorized carts around

(we were in college)

He reasoned that those were for people who couldn’t walk and because he was completely wasted, he couldn’t walk. The staff glared at him, but it was like 2 a.m., so they didn’t say much. Just prayed for him to leave, I think.

it's not immaturity

It’s being a dick. Peoples who work overnight at Wal-Mart have it hard enough without some rich kid coming in and destroying everything. Riding motorized carts at 4 in the morning is a victimless crime, however immature, but knocking stuff over and breaking things is just a dick move.

hahaha seriously?.. its their job to work at..well their workplace.. and if they have to clean it up.. they're getting paid for it.

Rich kid? Any kid would do that when he/she is bored, and breaking things..who’s losing money..you? the employees? Nope. i figure sam walton’s descendants can cover the cost of a sign or two, after they’re done wiping themselves with dollar bills.

People like you

Are the dregs of society.

Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps the cost of cleaning up, coupled with the cost of delaying or canceling other tasks is more higher than the minimum wage the person is likely earning?

That’s not to say nothing of the incredible sense of arrogance one would have to display in order to put their own petty desires above somebody else who’s doing nothing more than trying to earn a living.

You’re bored? Here are a couple tips: read, run, slap it, get pussy. The path to loserdom is paved with low-scale destruction and petty crimes.

hahaha i've never actually broken anything for the purpose of knowing that someone will have to clean it up.

and i have never done somehting that would make life any harder on anyone else. i was only trying to defend what miles was doin, because in all seriousness, i see little wrongdoing in what he did. But at the same time, if someone works as a janitor, its understood that they..clean? correct? So what is the big deal if one makes a mess, in a store with janitors/ employees that clean, they’ll clean it up. If cleaning is so degrading, why are there so many employees in superstores, clothing storees that are employed for the purpose of cleaning, that apply for these jobs knowing exactly what they will have to do? hahaha get off your high horse! you want to call people out on having a little fun. Some people are young people who do little things to get a rush with their friends. Its happened forever. So you can complain about “those young people these days” because those people don’t really care. Ive never vandalized any property in my life. If you think riding around on electric scooter at wal mart is petty crime/ lowscale destruction, when a sign falls down, you are crazy. Loserdom is when you classify slapping it a primary way of having fun, or referring to it as “slapping it.” haha

I would like to think

that I wasn’t talking about you. If you’re the type that behaves that way in stores, then you are clearly and idiot and I’d have no problem saying that in any forum. I don’t know that about you, though, so I don’t really feel like I’m calling you an idiot. I’m not even convinced that miles really acts like this. Again though, if you are 19 or older and doing this sort of stuff in stores, you really need to grow up. It’s pathetic behavior.

Well I did it once

and I was about 19 then. I’m sure you were the perfect 19 year old though and never did anything that someone would deem immature on inappropriate so I guess you are in the right to call me in an idiot.

by brettgardner on Aug 25, 2008 2:24 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Doing something that’s borderline idiotic and being an idiot are two different things.

Well

I don’t think he was using the term “idiot” in the sense of an actually mentally deficient person, just the opposite actually— someone who knows the right thing to do and does the opposite.

So, by that standard, you could be an idiot when you’re 19 and not one when you’re 22 or whatever other age you choose.

Sure that makes sense

I just don’t based off on one story of mine and a sarcastic comment, I was an idiot even at 19. People do silly stuff all the time when they’re young. It doesn’t make them an idiot even at that age. I can think of so many things that would make me a bigger idiot…playing dodgeball in a walmart isn’t one of them.

Mmm.

Well, for my part, I freely admit being an idiot when the situation warrants it. I’ve been at Walmart in the middle of the night, TP’d stuff, and participated in most of the generally non-offensive douchbaggery of youth. I was an idiot. I got a ticket for going 120 in a 60. Idiot. Lied on here for no real reason. Idiotic. Last night I only got 2 hours of sleep. Terribly idiotic.

I’ve been an idiot most of my life. I’m still waiting to wake up from it.

It's just that

there is “19 year old idiot” and “12 year old idiot” and this is 12 year old idiot. 19 year old idiot is drinking way more than you can handle, skipping classes that you shouldn’t, not using a rubber, etc. By the time a kid is 14 or 15 or at least 16 he should be past this sort of thing.

You're too old to have any

perception with how 14 year olds act. You were a kid a long time ago, things change. Just because you goof around at walmart once doesn’t make you an idiot. One single evening doesn’t define my life back then so you could call the act idiotic but i wasn’t an idiot.

"you're too old"

It’s really funny to hear someone say that.

I did this sort of stuff when I was in junior high. I’m 25 now. Screwing with people who hold down minimum wage jobs in Wal-Mart is junior high level idiotic. Sliding scales exist for stupid things, but that act is an exception.

I believe Z also said that if it’s an American pastime for you, then you’re an idiot. That implies something altogether different than “I did this once”.
