    Comic shop clerk starts watching Stargate, only to have the entire show spoiled by customer, clerk spoils every comic the customer buys in response: ‘He didn't talk to me about Stargate after that’

    "Spoiler Alert!"

    … Is the one and only thing one should say before they start to talk about something they enjoyed, that people around them may not have gotten a chance to catch up on. By uttering those two simple words, you can ensure that people who don't want to hear what you're about to discuss will have a chance to step out, or at least warn you before you start ruining something they have been waiting for.

    Honestly, it's not that hard.

    If you had a good time watching or reading something, why not do everything to ensure others will have the same experience? What's in it for you to tell them about the major events that happen, or the big reveal at the end? Nothing can excuse this kind of behavior.

    We could all probably list all the major spoilers we got about our favorite show, movie, book, or even comic. We will forever remember the face of the person who ruined what could have been a wonderful moment, and we would also do anything to have the chance to return the favor…

    • That is what happened in the story below, starting with a conversation between a comic book shop clerk and a regular customer about them starting to watch Stargate. The customer could not stop spoiling the show for the poor employee, until the clerk could take it anymore and decided to do the exact same thing using the comic books the customer was buying.

      Keep scrolling to read the full tale.

      A regular kept spoiling a show I was watching.

      I used to work in a comic shop and we had a lot of regulars who would come in every week who I got to know fairly well.

      There was one guy who had mentioned he liked Stargate. So one week, he came in and I mentioned to him that I'd started re-watching Stargate from the very beginning.

      I also mentioned that I'd never seen the last three seasons or any of the spin- offs so I was excited to see them. The first thing he says is,

      "Oh so you don't know about [detailed description of something that happens in the final season]?" I was like, "Whoa! No spoilers!" Which should have been enough.

      But it wasn't. Every week he'd come back in and spoil it for me even more. And every week I would tell him to please not spoil it for me.

      This went on for about two months. Between the regularity of it and the smirk he'd get on his face every time I asked him not to tell me spoilers,

      I knew he was doing it on purpose. So, one week, he came in and bought a big pile of comics he'd ordered. I waited for him to pay and then,

      instead of bagging them up, I fanned them all out on the counter. You see, I read a *lot* of comics. Especially back then. I read every new comic that was published by Marvel and DC (and then some) as they came out.

      So it just so happened that I had read every comic he had just purchased. I proceed to point to each comic and spoil every single one. He didn't talk to me about Stargate after that.

      inderu I never understand people who choose to be mean to someone that they're paying for something. Truly baffling behaviour.

      mizlurksalot Good job. Shame on him! I would love to go back and have the chance to watch the series for the first time again. Spoiling seasons for someone's first experience is reprehensible.
