A big I don't give a fuck, can sometimes get you fucked
The day started like this... woke up, put my laptop in my bag, headed to the coop for Kombucha. When I got there, it was only mildly busy, which isn't usual. The hippies only outnumbered me about 5 to 1 and I thought, "Hey it's pleasant, I could fiddle around on my computer". I used to go to the coop, but learned quickly during especially during the summer months that the people there often act like dogs in heat, where there hugs look like humps and their dreads get flipped as much as 7th graders with Justin Bieber haircuts. But things have changed in Bellingham. I sat in front of a large group of older folk praying. They had managed to put half of the tables together at the Coop to fit their group. But they were quiet enough and I was in a goddamn good mood. Right when I get all of my stuff set up, my Kombucha, my laptop, the website I needed to be in on, I get a tap on the shoulder with a fake smile, not asking me, but telling me they were going to use my table and I could move somewhere else. What the Fuck!!! The wheels began to turn in my brain and I was steamin', so much I couldn't speak, I just picked up my shit and left. Why, if this guy decided to take a minute and act like Jesus, he would have noticed there were no other tables for a small individual person trying to mind their own business. So I left, went on a bike ride. On my bike ride I was close to a Haagen, and was getting hungry. It was very busy and I really just wanted to get home so I bought another kombucha(i'm an addict) and headed to line. Bought my kombucha and then saw their sushi, I stopped by and the guy kept talkin up his wasabi crunch sushi, so I grabbed one and headed back to the self check out line. I waited forever to finally get my own check out. The sushi wouldn't scan. I tried it again. I told the lady who was helping another customer, and then obviously promptly forgot. I got super annoyed and took my ten dollars and my sushi and walked out. Then she noticed me. I had the ten dollars in my hand with the goddamn sushi and I was annoyed, she came out and said "Hey you didn't pay" , I said "I know, I tried" here is the money. She was not pleased and got the manager, I told him, I don't steal, but I was being ignored. That didn't fly, but he was much nicer than the bitch cashier. Granted I owe 650 dollars now, for an 8 dollar sushi and he banned me from Haggen for a year. I've never jacked anything in my life, but I really didn't give a fuck and didn't try to conceal it. He wrote in my write up that I had an intention to pay, but did not...so it goes, I'm going to get a misdemeanor and hopefully I didn't fuck up my teaching career, but I plan on fighting this bullshit.

The funny thing is that I was freaked out all weekend about background checks, Kip who has had his bouts with the law and has an FBI file due to activism, gave me the low down on everything, and then I go and do this...dumb
ReplyDeleteJesus, Brooke, I'm sorry about that. That sucks bad. I know the feeling of being ambiguously guilty in Bellingham. It's not a good feeling. But at least you weren't charged with an effin' felony like me. Yeah, look on the bright side. You could have gotten Super-Fucked!
ReplyDeleteYou are right,I will see guys in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteIf you need a character witness at the trial, give me a call. I'm not sure I can get you off the Haggen blacklist thought.
ReplyDeleteHaha, "the Haggen blacklist" - that's the funniest thing I've ever heard! Brooke, I would offer my services as a character witness too, but, you know... That might make things worse.
ReplyDeleteFREE BROOKE WEBER
