And I couldn't say anything
 
So today at the store I was buying a Nintendo e-shop (#PokemonRBY). The cashier (.... that's the right term, right?) he told me that he didn't knew Nintendo has a e-shop.

Then he started talking about how Nintendo almost quit the console market (I don't remember seen this discussion before), and how Playstation was on top of the market, followed by X-Box One, and how Nintendo wasn't good anymore and he goes on and on.

I didn't want to start a big discussion, he was clearly a "console war guy". But I had so many stuff I wanted to say (like he was talking about Nintendo but he didn't even know Nintendo has a e-shop).


But I couldn't say anything. He was talking in English and I knew what I wanted to say in French, but I couldn't. So I could only stay there, being annoyed.

Have you ever been in a situation where you want so bad to say something but you can't?

I must be one of the very few people to work in retail and rarely have douchenozzle customers.

I wonder what the cashier was hoping. That you'd sell all your Nintendo products and buy an Xbox or PlayStation based on his expert advice? I can't stand people that think they know everything about things they have no experience in or haven't researched at all. They think they were born fleshy, balls of wisdom lol.

Whenever someone in my family opens their mouth tbh, they're kinda bigoted, the only ones I won't bother are my dad and step mother because they don't really state their opinions

A real quote I heard in class today.
"I looove Jar-Jar! He's the only thing good about Star Wars."
I wanted to scream.

And trust me, I know this person to some extent and this wasn't a joke.

Ya, in English class. If there are discussions, I usually hold back a lot.

Every day on Facebook. I'm friends with a few people who feel the need to constantly express their political and religious opinions and while I may not always disagree with them, it's still annoying to read.

People who bleat on and try and push their political views upon others on social media. Really want to tell them where to stick their advice; so far I've managed to restrain myself as I don't fancy social media arguments these days.

Yeah! I don't want to be rude, but I've seen so many uneducated person that believe so much in something (a.k.a racist) and you know you can't say anything... They won't understand or try to see another point of view!! It's like a lost battle and it hurt when you see so many bad comments.

This is one of the reasons why I don't go on websites like tumblr anymore. Some of the nonsense some people spew on there is just depressing. Many times I've almost called someone out on their shit, but realized that I would just start drama that I don't have the patience for lol

Irl this almost never happens, If someone says something I disagree with strongly, I usually keep quiet. Just shows how extreme some people views can become if they can express them anonymously.

Tumblr and its people...there's the main reason I never speak out about problems on the internet, aha. I'm always scared that I'd have to deal with some person who's been "triggered" or offended.

Remember when people used to be able to take stuff much easier? Yeah, I'm starting to forget. Honestly, afraid that I'd make someone cry by saying something. :|
