180$ for a pair of sneakers that probably cost 10$ to make in a Philippine sweat shop and people are actually stupid enough to swallow the hype and fight, trying to buy the shoes.

Meh, saw the same crap with Tickle Me Elmo.

No kidding...

When submitting the story I was unsure what category to use. Think for ones like this we need to have Trevor add the category "STUPID SHIT PEOPLE DO".

Peace on Earth and goodwill towards men, unless you SOBs are trying to grab the same last gift I am, then the hell with peace and goodwill.

I was buying a couple of things at Zellars yesterday, and the cashier was a woman with some physical limitations I think - she was a bit slow. A woman and her child behind me just could not shut the fuck up about it, even after I gave them the stink eye for a warning. After a second stink eye, they quietened down a bit but really. Shut the fuck up already!

That's where we differ. For ridiculing someone with physical handicaps I would have told them to "Mind their fucking manners"

They were muttering amongst themselves, so I didn't call them out on it save for the hairy eyeball. It was tempting though.

I had some Air Jordan's back in teh early '90's. Great, great pair of shoes. I could easily see myself kicking the shit out of someone (again) to get them. I just wouldn't do it at Krimmas time cause that'd be rude.
