She was an SC but I have had so much worst.

SC: I want to return this f*cking camera because the piece of sh*t doesn't work.
Me: (seeing her receipt in the bag) Ok I see you just bought this...
SC: (interrupting) I charged the f*cking battery over night like you told me for the first use and the f*cking piece of sh*t doesn't work and I only got it yesterday.
Me: Yes, and all I have to do to process your return is check to make sure you have all pieces that came with it and I will gladly give you a refund.

I turned the battery over in the camera, turned it on, and took her picture.

Me: So do you still want to return this lovely fully functional camera or would you like to purchase a memory card and case to go with it?

She bought the memory card and case and called her friend and told her how stupid she felt, apparently they had tried for hours to figure out what was wrong with the camera.

You were nicer to her re her swearing than I would have been. I won't put up with swearing(within reason), even if it's not directed at me. And if it is.... watch out.

Good on you though, the b**** got pwned

(and I just said b**** after I ranted about swearing... go figure)

"I said Beast! BEAST!"

Yeah, she got what was coming to her, but at least she took it in stride, and didn't pull the old "WELL, NO ONE EVER TOLD ME HOW, REFUND ME!!!!"

[kiwiwinelover]

People who are unable to figure out which way batteries go in a camera, should not be able to buy one, methinks....

Lol what a doofasaurus.

Hey, you said B**** but you censored yourself. Is that really swearing?

the look on her face was priceless because I knew she was too stupid to have a camera when I sold it to her because she bought it based on COLOR not features or anything useful. That is why I just listened while she did her stupid rant then showed her she was a moron.

Like my mom always said: "Never buy electronics that are smarter than you."

[Evil Queen]

All that because she put the batteries in wrong? How did she miss the diagram??

I've known quite a few people who bought their cameras based on appearance rather than features or specs. Usually, they tell me how ugly my camera is (Canon S2 IS). Though, when I've taken a picture using one of the more advanced features, they act all impressed and ask me to show them how to do it with their camera. Sorry chip, your camera doesn't do that.

Related, but slightly off-topic, are the people who feel that a better camera automatically produces better photos. I've been using my S2 IS for a while and am still producing better photos than almost everyone in my family (except for the professional photographer) who all have the most recent models. I guess technology's no replacement for learning how to do things.

I will admit that I have one of the cameras which is good-looking but not very good. I actually bought it because it was extra-compact, and I have a pocket tripod to go with it.

I *also* have an older high-end Nikon Coolpix. It needs a case transplant because the battery catch has failed (a common problem on this model), but it takes excellent pictures despite having about half the pixel resolution of the compact. That's because it has a far better lens and doesn't compress the result so hard.

Heck, I have a *camcorder* that takes better still pictures than the compact. That takes some doing. But the camcorder is of course rather bulky when compared to a normal camera.

I can take good pictures with a box-brownie. And I still have that too, although it's almost impossible to find film for it (127 format) any more.

I did something similar to that. This was before I had a digital camera and was using a 35mm with drop-in loading film.
I used the camera all day but was confused as to why it wasn't showing how many pictures I had taken and how many I had left.
I get home to find out I had loaded the film upside down and had now lost all the "pictures" I had taken at the zoo.

Obviously these "pictures" were only in theory, because the camera was nothing more than a flash-maker thanks to my stupidity.

Was it blue? Did she think blue made the camera take pix faster?

[Crazeyal]

No DA RED WUN GO FASTAHHH!!!

"And we put flames on the side to make it go faster!"
"What's your scientific explanation for the flames making the ship faster?"
