I think I know EXACTLY which WI gun shop you're talking about!  If so: they tried to run a clean operation but had some extremely bad luck in having one of those straw buyers flip a gun to a guy that shot a cop. The ensuing lawsuits and media BS were crippling. Gun shop was in a decent part of town but only a 5 minute drive from the 'hood.

I asked an urban-type co-worker about that and the response was "that creates jobs for others". Which I took as a rationalization for laziness, stupidity and passive-aggressive behavior.

Driving with your seat reclined to the max. Same for the one riding shotgun.

I worked for an urban mass transit operation. "Certain" drivers would break the seat-back mechanism to recline the seat further than designed. Driver's seats were a constant maintenance issue.

And then dump the air out of the seat suspension to get into low-rider mode. Which negated the shock-absorbing feature of the air-ride seats and led to back problems.

Speaking of: I've seen big-rig drivers doing the low-ride thing. Look at the truck and see only the driver's eyes looking out over the bottom of the side window. Lotta WTF there!

Awwww, hell naw dawg. You got to have Flamin' hot's with meat and cheese from the corner store and served open top with a plastic spoon in it.

Red pop to go with that.

Liquor stores that hand out plastic cups with ice for your Paul Mason or Hennessy.

All of the liquor stores are owned and operated by Middle Eastern types, all of them and they are all named Sam.

Bottle memorials at crime scenes.

Elote's and ice cream from the cart guy.

The proper response to "Huh" is "Huh".

House store fronts that sell candy, hot dogs and the previously mentioned Flamin' hot's with meat and cheese.

The never ending sound of the ice cream truck in summer.

There is so much more to list.

If you ain't seen these things, you ain't been in the Ghetto, Joe.

What are some ghetto things youve seen people do? Dress? Say? Anything really...

A real ghetto thing thats pretty common are kids coming to school with kool aid packets. They open the pack and dip their finger in it and lick their finger till all the powder is gone. Id love to call the kids out on it. "Are you eating kool aid?" The kid with a red finger and red dye all over his face shakes his head no. Kind of irritating because the kids thinks hes smarter that you.

Ive seen this in really crappy schools and private schools. Still a ghetto thing to do

My wife and I are very familiar with this, she likes nice things. 99 times out of 100 they go into the store, aks to see 4 or 5 bags, take selfies with every one (and pass it around to others in the group), and generally waste the salesperson's time, buying nothing.

When we see a line of them outside the store we come back another time.

They never show up on time.  Always lie.  

Had one house I went into that had a space heater as the only source of heat.
The cord for that ran out the window to the next house, that house ran its electricity out the window into another house. That house had jumper cables hooked up to bypass the meter.

It was like that near the house my brother and I bought. Plenty of bypassed meters. The houses look abandoned, so DTE never checks.

That house we bought had two dead bodies in it. Mostly did mold and blood cleanup and flipped it.

There was a burned down house next to a liquor store on McGraw where a group of people would sit on the porch, drinking and smoking. 75% of the house behind them was gone… But that’s where the party was.

As a kid growing up in north east NJ (Newark area), I had an after-school job working in a liquor store in a shitty part of town. I don't believe anyone, including the police, even cared I was a minor. Anyway, OE800 was a favorite as I remember, along with Colt-45. As far as wine goes, Richard's Wild Irish, Night Train Express, and Thunderbird were tops, although a few were really dedicated to their Mad Dog 20-20. The higher end losers drank Boone's Farm and a few bought Riunite. For harder liquor, most drank Seagram's whiskey or Popov vodka. The pimps preferred "Crown". I remember one dude who drank a pint of Seagram's every day when he got off the bus from work, before he went home with a six-pack of Schaefer beer. Sometimes he'd come back for another pint or fifth if the wife was pissing him off.
I used to make deliveries on my Peugeot moped (too young to drive a car - but not too young to drive a moped - with booze) and the shit I saw was just amazing - what a life experience. Funny how the poor generally tipped very well and the rich were usually cheapskates; no thought for the 15-year old kid who just drove 5 miles in 20 degree weather on a moped to deliver their party resupply. The only exception to the well-off tippers were the Italians, who tipped very well. They were actually always my delivery priority, per the owners, ahead of cops, and were very nice to me.
On a side note, the few years I worked there we were held up three times, and I was there for the last one. Second time we were robbed, the crooks fired a few shots in the store, no one hit though. I watched a guy get stabbed repeatedly at the gas station across the street. There was once a shootout one block away at a taxi station. Arson fires. People "jumping" from high-rises. You name it.
