Once upon a time, in a small town where regrets lingered as heavily as Monday morning coffee breath, there existed a peculiar fictional establishment called "The Active Rain Point Store," owned by Miss Anna "Banana" Kruchten Arizona's Top Banana.

The inhabitants of this town weren’t trading goods or services here, oh no—they were swapping their points for life corrections. The store’s motto read, *"Fix the stupid crap from your past, one point at a time!"*
Mr. Crappy, a charmingly eccentric fellow known for solving problems in ways that always seemed to be slightly off-center. He had earned his nickname for his unapologetic honesty and his uncanny ability to sniff out the absurdity in everyone’s past decisions. Though he appeared to be a jokester, the individuals who entered his store often left with lighter hearts and a fresh sense of humor.
Undoing the Stupid Crap of Yesteryear
One bright Thursday morning, as Mr. Crappy meticulously arranged his "Untraceable Memory Erasers" on shelf seven, he found himself in possession of 1,000,000 points—an inheritance bequeathed to him from a mysterious benefactor who apparently wanted him to "do something useful for once." Mr. Crappy, naturally curious about who might believe in his utility, decided to use the points to concoct his most ambitious scheme yet.
Standing atop a counter with the enthusiasm of a town crier who had just found an extra bell, Mr. Crappy declared, *"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby gift these 1,000,000 points to YOU, the citizens of Stupidville! Today, you shall redeem yourselves from all the ridiculousness that has haunted your lives. Trade your regrets, undo your nonsense, and spend these points as wildly as you once spent your common sense!"*
The townsfolk hesitated at first, unsure if this was just another one of Mr. Crappy's elaborate pranks. But the lure of undoing their past mistakes proved too tempting to resist. A line soon formed outside the store, stretching around the block, with people clutching lists of their most embarrassing decisions.

The first customer was Debe Maxwell, CRS, who had once dyed her hair neon green for her wedding, thinking it would match the cake's frosting. Her Matron of Honor tried her best to dissuade Anna, to no avail. Anna Banana handed over 10,000 points to swap the memory of her vivid hairdo for a more romantic bridal look. As she left the store with a satisfied smirk, the green tint in her hair faded into a soft auburn.
Next up was Gary Frimann, CRS, GRI, SRES who had mistakenly tattooed the word "Cantaloupe" on his forearm instead of "Courage." For 25,000 points, Mr. Crappy offered Gary the chance to have his tattoo magically rewritten. Carl left the store proudly displaying "Courage" on his arm, though Mr. Crappy had mischievously kept the cantaloupe’s shadow in the background—because every good story needs a footnote.

As the day progressed, people kept pouring in. Kathy Streib who had accidentally proposed to herself in front of her crush; Larry, who had tried to jump over a fountain, only to land directly in it; and let’s not forget Patricia, who, during a particularly heated argument, had thrown a loaf of bread at her neighbor only to discover it was gluten-free (and therefore less dramatic). Each spent their points to undo, revise, or at least soften their ill-advised mishaps.
By nightfall, the town was abuzz with laughter and cheer. People weren’t just undoing their past—they were embracing the absurdity of their mistakes. The Active Rain Point Store became the town’s unofficial hub for healing, humor, and redemption.

As for Mr. Crappy, he spent the remainder of the points on a golden sign for his shop that read, *"Stupidity is inevitable, but fixing it is priceless."* And as the townsfolk toasted to their lighter hearts and revised memories, Mr. Crappy smiled to himself, knowing that his legacy wasn’t in his name, but in the laughter, he had helped spread.
And thus, Stupidville became a town where regrets were celebrated, mistakes were honored, and Mr. Crappy proved that even the dumbest decisions could lead to the funniest stories.
This post is an entry to the June 2025 ActiveRain Point Store Challenge. Perhaps it need not be said, yet we will say it for the stupid people who just may not get it, this is all fictional, none of it is true! It is written with light-hearted humor using names of people I believe will find it funny, and feel honored that Mr. Crappy mentioned them.
