Classic SPE #1

This one took place in the summer of 2006 while working at Coborn's, a grocery store in SD:

Me: Gosh, I'm tired. I just want to sleep.


Work Ethic: No! You stay awake and do your damn job. You're getting paid for this.

Me: Shut up, Work Ethic. I know my bodily limits.

Inner Child: Let's go play outside!

Me: Wish I could, Inner Child but...

Work Ethic: You go away! He needs no distractions!

Me: I said shut up!

Inner Child: You're mean! *starts to cry*

Me: Oh great, now look what you did...

Internal Sadist: Mmm tears. The pain makes them sweet.

Me: Hi Internal Sadist. Didn't figure you'd show up right now.

Internal Sadist: Slam your hand in the freezer door. C'mon, it'd be fun.

Me: Are you crazy? No!

Self-Loathing: Why? It's not like you deserve anything more than pain.

Me: Goddamnit, go away Self-Loathing. This isn't a good time.

Self-Loathing: It's never a good time...

Internal Sadist: We can hang out, though. I know a great game with a belt sander we could try.

Me: Damnit, Internal Sadist, I don't want to get hurt.

Reckless Endangerment: Oh come on, bro. Let's jump into the cardboard compiler and hop out right as we're about to get crushed. It'd be wicked!

Work Ethic: All of you shut the hell up and leave him alone! He needs to work. Go to the cooler.

Me: Fine, but why?

OCD: MOTHERFUCKERS! Rows 15, 34, and 7 are missing milk jugs! It's uneven!

Latent Psychopathy: Kill them for fucking with us! Do them! Do the whole damn store!

Me: What? OCD, calm down I'll fix it. Latent Psychopathy, I didn't even know you were still there.

Latent Psychopathy: Hang them from the ceiling. Use their blood to wax the floor!

Me: Annnnd that's why you're latent. Great.

Hopeless Optimist: Isn't it just a golly gosh darn wonderful day?

Everyone: SHUT THE FUCK UP, OPTIMISM!

Calmness: That's not very nice. We should all just get along.

Inner Child: Oh! He said a swear!

Latent Psychopathy: Burn 'em all!

Me: Please just...

Romanticism: Come on, be thankful. You might meet the perfect woman for you today and your life will be complete!

Internal Sadist: Punch yourself in the balls. It'd be quicker.

Self-Loathing: I agree.

Reckless Endangerment: Dodge right before you hit your spuds, dude. Killer!

Latent Psychopathy: Yes?

Me: What? But...come on just go away. I'm getting confused.

Pervert: Check out the rack on the bakery chick. You should totally grab her buns.

Bad Joke Center: *ba-dum-tisch*

Me: Oh very funny. Go away, Pervert. I'm trying NOT to have my pants cause me problems.

Fashion Sense: The pants are already causing problems, sweetheart. Totally clash with the tie.

Work Ethic: The pants aren't the problem. The fact he's not working is!

Inner Child: Work is for adults. I wanna play in the sandbox!

Me: We don't HAVE a fucking sandbox!

Writer: Yeah, you could totally put this on your blog when you get home.

Me: I'll think about it. Listen, everyone just calm down. I'm trying to think here.

Calmness: Thinking sucks. Go with the flow.

OCD: THE FUCKING MILK RACK IS STILL UNEVEN!

Pervert: The bakery chick's ass still isn't on our dick!

Me: Go AWAY, Pervert! You're not helping!

Self-Loathing: Nothing ever helps.

Romanticism: *sings* Storms are brewin' in your eyes...

Anxiety: Storms? Where? Are we in danger?

Reckless Endangerment: Rockin'! We could ride a tornado!

Internal Sadist: Or get thrown into a building!

Latent Psychopathy: Everyone inside could die!

Inner Child: Storms scare me! *cries*

Me: *eye starts twitching*

Anxiety: Ohmigod! He's having a stroke!

Pervert: I like having a stroke.

Bad Joke Center: *ba-dum-tisch*

Hopeless Optimism: It'll all work out for the best.

Everyone: SHUT THE FUCK UP, OPTIMISM!

Work Ethic: You've stopped doing work. Wonderful

Pragmatism: You're still getting paid.

Me: Hey, he's right!

Pragmatism: Besides, you're doing it for college.

Romanticism: Where you'll meet the perfect girl...

Pervert: And knock holes in your wall with the bed frame.

Me: Please just GO AWAY!

Writer: Oh this is so going in the blog.

Me: *sighs*
