Have you learned to love the hipster grifter story yet? If not, we encourage you to scroll up or down to read another post, and remind you that you're also entitled to a full refund on your subscription fee. Still here?

At least until the inevitable Grifster Handbook hits the Urban Outfitters discount book table.
