Since JPX is having technical difficulties today, I’m going to attempt to provide some blog entertainment with a little story.
So lately I’ve been getting irritated with people and companies thinking that they can treat people anyway they want and get away with it. I feel that something needs to be done to fight this injustice, even if small. Recently, I’ve been joking around that I’m going to have t-shirts made voicing my rage. I’ve decided not to joke about it any longer but actually put this plan into action. This was prompted by an experience I had on Sunday when I went to get a falafel pocket. I have been going to this place religiously for over a year, and each time I always get a little cheese on my falafel. On Sunday I order my falafel as usual and when I tell the man to put a little cheese on he tells me it doesn’t come with cheese, so of course I tell him that I’ve been getting cheese on it for over a year and this is the first I’ve heard that I can’t have cheese. He tells me he’ll give it to me, but keeps yelling at me to read what’s in the blue box. I tell him that I’m not going to read it and that I will never ask for cheese again. Still he keeps yelling at me to read what’s in the blue box. I tell him no and that I will never come here again. Still he won’t shut the hell up. He’s talking about the prices going up, and then he starts mumbling about McDonalds, but at this point I had stopped listening.
I’m so aggravated that I was spoken to like this, all the man had to do was talk like a civilized person and explain that if I want cheese it will have to be extra from now on, and there would have been no problem. Now I’m going to have to go take a picture of him for my t-shirt. I’m not sure what it’s going to say yet, but I’m open to suggestions and I’ll be sure to post a picture of myself wearing it for the blog. I’ll have to pick a place to make my t-shirt too. My cousin used to be married to a guy that would have been perfect for my t-shirt revenge jobs. He used to make and sell-t-shirts from a van, which is probably why my cousin isn’t married to him anymore. He once made my sister, my cousins, and me a t-shirt with a picture of Bush Sr. on it that said no wimps with a circle around him and a slash across his face. We wore them and stood outside the doors of the voting polls. We were told to leave a number of times and the police almost had to be involved.
I’ve decided that I’m going to have a t-shirt made every time a person or company pisses me off in my lifetime. I think it will be interesting to see how many shirts I have when I’m 90 years old.

whirly, i for one can't wait to see the outcome of your new quest... and that is one gorgeous falafel sandwich in the photo! mmm, falafel! (homer drooling noises)
Whirlgirl you're a friggin' hilarious genius. You're right. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable and it's time someone did something about it. I'll help you any way I can. Stick it to the man!
Let's think about this...
T-shirts are easy to make via Cafe Press. Try to take a couple of pictures of him if you can so we have options..
It's unclear as to whether or not you ate the falafel or stormed out before completing the exchange. Some clarification please?
I was curious about that as well. I was also going to suggest cafe press, easy to upload the pics and just add them to any shirt you like.
As for a caption...
Maybe take a cue from Seinfeld?
Falafel Nazi says, "No falafel for you!"
Caption suggestions from Tony:
Father human, mother ?
Charm school drop out
Caution: Mouth has tendency to run off without warning
or simply, Asshole
Ok, ok, ok.
What if you designed them like old western posters. As in WANTED... FOR BEING A TOTAL SHIT. And then describe the nature of the crime on the back.
JSP that's fucking brilliant!
Total riot! I knew Cat would jump on this bandwagon, she is all about sticking it to The Man.
I can't wait to see what you decide to do!
Argh! What did it say in the blue box??
When are they going to get to the fireworks factory??
Excellent Simpson's reference, Octo!
Okay, I'm sure I know what it says in the blue box, because I bet it's like the notice in the cheapo Chinese restaurant near here, about how rice prices have gone up and it's not free anymore yadda yadda. Still, your story piqued my interest.
Love the T-shirt idea.
Yes, when you go for the photo shoot, please take a picture of the blue box so we can all see what's what and be outraged accordingly.
What an ass! Is he really like the soup nazi where he refuses to see his hard work tainted by whimsical cheese-loving customers that don't get it? Or is he just a complete ass? Methinks some more detective work is required to get to the bottom of this. Whirly, next time you go in, you must be deeply undercover with a camera in reach at all times. Ask JPX for one of those "glasses with mustaches" disguises. I think he has a box of them...
