I thought I remembered reading something about this...I couldn't find anything recent.

So!  The spoiled little prodigy brat thinks she's the next Shakespeare?  Yeah, right!

Take the little snot to the friggin Dollar Tree and get her a couple of bags full of pens.

She's just going to lose them all before the end of September anyway.

You're too kind.
Let her buy a box of crayolas.

You realize the Office Max guy (who looks 28-30) is probably getting minimum wage.  Not only do they hide from customers, but they have the intelligence of a monkey.  Strictly a job for a High School kid.  At the end of the commercial, he makes sure he's one with the dad.  Immediate mute.
There's a sucker born every minute.

Jackass can't go shopping without the damn smartphone...of course. Luckily Shakespeare was smart enough to not need that horsesh*t.

I very rarely use my "smarter than me phone". If I get a text I just call them back. The stupid things no longer come with a printed user manual. For me it is more a nuisance than a convenience.Angry

It's an EXTRA BOGUS commercial when you realize most schools have done away with reading an entire Shakespeare play in high school.  They MAY read exerpts and call that "covering Shakespeare."

It's all about "What kinds of games can we play in class with the students?" now and "School is supposed to be FUN and the kids don't like Shakespeare!"  Of course, do only whatever "the kids" consider fun.

I came on here to see if this commercial was posted, good. I'm glad I'm not the only one that found this batsh*t annoying. The spoiled lil sh*t to the mentally challenged, over happy employee.

Seriously, if i saw a Office Max employee....or any employee interact with a kid like this, I'd call the jacka** out and claim he's f'ing creepy!

Confused
Why do kids even need pens anymore? Cursive Writing is no longer taught - the little spermmistakes can't even sign their names. Give the little scrappers those BIG, FAT pencils we all got in 'Kiddygarten' so they do not hurt themselves.

I figured they did all their writing on computer keyboards.

Like we do.
