Fuck greentext stories. Anyways, I fired girl earlier this week because she told me tan shoes don't match light grey pants. And to top it off, I was wearing the outfit in question. Had on a nice pair of Salvatore Ferragamo British tan oxfords with some nice light grey slacks and a light rose colored shirt. I asked her how I looked and she said she didn't think I was matching. I told her to gtfo what did she know. Then she told me she was a "Fashion Merchandising" major at the local state school. I told her "Congratulations on getting a degree to prep you for a career of folding sweaters at the GAP. I'm going to give you ahead start on your dreams, gtfo you're fired." Then i told her that her dad was an idiot for letting her pursue that bullshit as a degree.
She was crying and didn't hear the last part but I think I made my point.
