I had two jobs, one was at this country ice house in buttfuck nowhere outside of my city. This place was pretty small, but was one of the few bars in a certain area so it would get busy. A lot off good ol’ boys and oil field guys.
I worked the door, checked ids and such, and usually broke up fights or kick people out. The owner of this place was very “hands on”. He liked to micromanage everything. Didn’t want me to kick people out unless they were throwing punches, and even then to try and talk to them. Never cut anyone off. Had that “always be selling” attitude.
One night some trouble happens between some regulars and one guy tries to hit another guy with a pool stick. I happened to get hit in the arm but got behind the guy and put him to sleep.
Next day the manager calls me to tell me I’m being let go. Apparently pool stick guy spends a lot of money and me putting him to sleep left him bitter so he called the owner.
That’s fine.
Anyways the bar has a nice fancy jukebox. If you have the app you can just pick songs on your credit card and they’ll play. If you hit play next on a song, even if they turn the jukebox off, it’ll play when it starts back up. It’s also unskippable.
With the master remote you could skip a song but they lost that remote so they really can’t do much if someone plays a certain song they don’t like, and even if they unplug it, it’ll play no matter what when they turn it on.
Here’s my petty revenge:
The owner does inventory every tuesday night. It also happens to be a busy night because they do pool tournaments and it usually gets packed.
So here I thought, I could probably just play the same song over and over and there’s nothing they can really do.
I got twenty bucks in credits and that usually gives you about 18 unskippable songs. Plus more depending if the app gifts you credits.
I picked a remix of Cotton Eye Joe, that comes in at around 7 minutes a pop. Usually when the pool tournament started.
Two hours of hearing the same song has killed their business on tuesdays. Even if they unplug it, it’ll still play when they plugged it back up.
I’ve been doing it for two months so far, last I heard they had to buy a new jukebox at a cost 5,000. I’ll probably stop for a month then start again. I’m an asshole I guess.

We first saw her work on instagram. She used to just buy our clothes and post random photos and videos wearing them. We looked into her photography and fell in love.
We sent her some clothes and just waited to see what she’d do with them. We were ecstatic when she sent these back. If your talented and have a work ethic we’ll give you a chance to showcase your work.

8 Reasons Why Drake Shouldn’t Marry A Blood Relative
Let’s face it: Drake can get just about any woman he wants. But when it comes time for him to settle down, he should definitely think twice before marrying a blood relative.
1. It is illegal: There are no two ways about it: Marrying a blood relative is against the law. Entering a consenting marital relationship with your kin might seem like a victimless crime, but it’s a crime all the same, so it’d be in Drake’s best interest to avoid it.
2. It might make his music less relatable: Drake’s music is popular thanks in part to its emotional accessibility. His lyrics are raw and personal, dwelling on many of the common joys and frustrations of romantic relationships. But if he were to marry a sibling or a cousin, there’s a good chance that his lyrics would become less relatable, as very few people have experience being married to family members.
3. People would gossip: Can you even imagine all the internet chatter over something like Drake marrying one of his own relatives? The magazines would have a field day, too! People would be really nasty to Drake, and it’d probably be a real headache for him.
