I’m sorry to hear it . . . but not surprised; most contests limit winners to certain countries, and it’s usually in very small print.
How did the cashiers scam you? If you have receipts, you have proof; you can go back, talk to the manager, and if they can understand the problem, they should fix it.
This reminds me of when we were kids at H. Elementary, and you went to buy chips from the concession stand beside Mrs. Brown’s classroom and the kid running it tried to charge you double . . . if I’m remembering it right. It was either that or he didn’t want to give you your change, even though you’d given him more than the chips cost.
Yup, fifteen dollars is six loads of laundry out here — $2.50 per wash and the same for a dry. :(
When I post unedited pictures of myself, I get very rude comments. So I only post those I’ve edited, and then I get comments like ‘Beautiful’. So I know how you feel.
Who poured water in your chair and tried to trip you?! I don’t remember that at all (so I really hope it wasn’t me)!
Teachers can be unfair; one made me sit on the floor in the library for an hour (during lunch) for JUMPING in a hallway. She insisted I was ‘running’, so I “earned” my first school punishment. I was mad about that for a long time, and not very sorry to leave that school.
I care about you — I may not be great at showing it, to anyone, but I do. I also know how you feel; I feel sometimes like I try hard and no one cares at all. Other times, the only people who show they care are family. I’m about to the point myself where I want to give up.
If I may ask, what kind of site are you on where you’re being asked out? That hasn’t happened to me in so long, and the only site I’m really not using anymore is MyYearbook (where it was pretty constant).
Last, you and I seemed to have a rough patch in December, and we’ve never talked about it. If that’s the reason you feel it’s obvious no one gives a shit about you, we should e-mail. I wasn’t going to ask about it since it seemed we were going to ignore it and move on, but if you feel the way I do about it, we should talk. (If you’d prefer not to, I understand.)
Okay, now-last: Be careful entering contests; the fine print can be a jerk. And if cashiers are ripping you off, speak up! (I wish I had done it, looking back on a CD I bought with my hard-earned money ten years ago.)
We had the same discussion here; even if we did have the energy to bus all the way back to the store, there is no way Customer Service would know that I didn't just leave an item at home looking for some money back. I don't remember being scammed by another student, although I do understand that I was generally hated by the whole school. Ouch! I thought it was costly here. Sometimes the machine takes the money but doesn't start, so it costs another three dollars. We should have men-tioned that when the landlord was by. Technically, we live in a house, not an apartment; so we shouldn't even have coin laundry. My classmates did that, even pranking me with rubber spiders in my locker. Not even the same kid, but different classmates throughout the years. That one kid dumped pencil shavings in my hair. I left myyearbook about four years ago. It's usually in games, actually. I guess mostly children and teens play it, but there are all sorts of nasty on there. You can't go a day without seeing somebody write something like "Daddy give it to me harder" into the public chatroom. They're fun games, very addictive, one of them shares several aspects with The Sims 2 - but it's also the toilet bowl of brain cells. There's this trend going around for a virtual family, and members are constantly saying stuff like, "Be my mommy" or "Will you be my sister?" On Christmas I had this kid freaking stalking me. "You ARE my mommy. I love you! Hug me!" ...Retard. I just ignore people, unless they need help learning the game. Socializing with dumb-asses is not why I joined. We can talk if you want. I have to admit, as much as I don't want to, there are things I've been dying to say. I just don't want it to get between us.

It may already be between us, lol; we can either ignore it or try fixing it, and either way it's not going to just go away.
DeleteOne girl dumped glue on my head at school ... but I think it was an accident. Mom was NOT happy, since she still washed my hair way back then.
You're lucky it didn't have to be cut off! :O
