Remember, this is a series of simple stories, showcasing different ideas. There is zero character development and details are vague to allow anyone that is interested to expand on them easily.
If anyone wants to flesh them out with consequences, you have my happy permission. If you're a new writer I will help as much as I have time for.
It has been independently rated at 2.5/5 pickaxe handles on the rating system CreativityTakesCourage and I came up with - visit the SemperAmare Bio to learn more.

I'll let you into a little secret. I hate wankers. You know the guys I mean. The ones who have big bushy beards because some celebrity was photographed with one and all of a sudden all the hipsters have one. The ones with the knees torn out of their jeans because, again, some celebrity was seen like that. One member of this particular sub-breed of wanker was less than amused when I pointed out that this was a re-cycled trend from my youth, the 1980's.
However, I wasn't a wanker then and I refuse to be one now.
As I inched forward in the queue at my local McDonalds, I bemoaned the fact that the guy in front of me was a nauseatingly stereotypical wanker extraordinaire. Bushy beard, check. Fashionable tattoos of Marvel comic characters, that will look right stupid in another ten years, on a 45 year old, check. Jeans fashionably tattered at the knee, check. Leather loafers, check. Manbag over shoulder, check. And let's not forget the super-dark sunnies, worn indoors, check.
Just then hipster's phone rang and he pulled it out of a belt pouch with a flourish. No doubt hoping everyone within range would realise it was the latest and greatest model iPhone, sooooo superior and soooo much more expensive than those of everyone else around. I waited for the inevitable. Something wankers like this just HAD to do. Not for this guy a hushed conversation with the phone against his ear. Oh no. One button to answer the call, a second to put it on speaker and everyone within spitting distance (tempting or what?) got to hear both sides of the conversation.
"Hey, doll face."
