Another day another family portrait: a young couple and their baby.  Everything goes fine, the wife is a little fussy but otherwise they are pleasant enough.

At the viewing they both love the photos and select a huge number they want to get, however despite being given a price list before the shoot things go a bit wrong as the wife refuses to pay me.

Me: I’m sorry, are you unhappy with the photos?

Client: Oh, I love them. But why do they cost money?

Fortunately her husband stepped in and explains to her that that running a business costs money, and you need to pay for things you want.

Unfortunately, this became a ten minute heated argument about whether or not I’m worth paying, all while I waited awkwardly in the room. Eventually I interrupted, excused myself, and waited in the office.

Five minutes later the wife stormed out and the husband sheepishly paid me.

I’m sure those photos will be great for some happy memories.

Trump is only two points ahead in Texas now. If you’re in Texas and vote third party or don’t vote this year, I will personally never forgive you for stealing the joy of watching the GOP freak out at Texas going blue from me.

Alternatively if you are a Republican Texan feel free to write someone in.

I can’t even fathom a blue Texas. This is crazy.

I can and I live in texas.

Arby’s gets it

They constructed the controller from scratch, set up the shot with food, and posted it just 6 ½ hours after the reveal. Whatever they’re paying the person running this account, it’s not enough.

I bet they photoshopped it in but yeah this is nuts

That looks like it would take longer to photoshop than actually make. It’s just cut/folded cardstock.

you can see that it’s made of cardboard.
