Story time. [For this boards Regulars]

Well going off of what has recently been posted about the name calling [maybe because it's the Christmas season, artists aren't as busy so they are bored and taking out their frustrations on the anonymous? who knows?] and so on; let's start this thread as an attempt to tell some good 'Shop Rat' stories. Love 'em or hate 'em we all have them, those people that were customers, became regulars, then for whatever reason they just keep coming around and we can't seem to shake them. This is the tattoo industry people- SOME ONE should have some good stories about friends of friends, crackheads, etc. Any takers?
