I think about this story often:

They called the cops on a disabled guy for playing the trumpet outside their store in the middle of the music district.

I just checked and yelp covered up all the negative reviews the bookstore received after that lol

Can't let "tried to have a man killed 1/5" skew the averages for important shit like "they greeted me upon entering 5/5"

I've mentioned this before but there was a dude busking on a horn years ago outside where I worked and the amount of people that were like "if he put as much energy into finding a job as he did playing that trumpet..." almost made me snap.

He's making music, it's free music, and he's fucking good at it you ungrateful motherfuckers. This is his fucking job and he's doing a great job. I was so goddamn mad.

May those people suffer eternal anhedonia.

Also, finding a job is like gambling. I could do it for a day and get lucky, I could do it for several years and not.
