OMG!! My Da just threatend physical violence on an employee at EB games!!

[FemmeAnime]

Okay little bit of a background. I had bought

Bioshock a WHILE ago and the damn thing kept crashing on me so went to return

it with my da (he drove). Went into the shop and told the clerk my sob

story . Although I was WAY over the limit for a refund, he offered an

exchange that way I get to keep my warrenty on the game.

When my father pipes in, agrueing about this was stupid and that he had better

do something! Continueing on to say that he would "shove the game up his ass"

if the exchanged game didn't work and I think he was still pissy because the clerk

wouldn't exchange the game with a different title. My da gets on his high horse

and starts berrating the clerk and basically calling him a lair because he states

that it is LAW that he cannot resell opened software. Copyright law, I think he

said.

At this point I'm begging my da to shut the hell up and to go wait in the car. He

still paternizing the clerk, wherein the clerk and myself just ignor my father and

continue on with the exchange. And I'm as nice as can be. If that wasn't bad

enough when we get back in the car he congratulates himself on how he turned

the clerks "attitude" around because "he wasn't going to do shit".

I said: The only reason he was being so nice to you was because he didn't want

you throwing things!

Da: Exactly!

I work in fast food and that just pissed me right off. Countered with: So if a

customer I don't like comes up I'm allowed to be an asshole so they'll be nice so I

don't start throwing stuff?!

He quickly changes the subject.

He gets a F in humanity.

Good for you callin your dad on his crap! My mother is the SAME WAY!
A couple weeks ago we were in giant tiger (basically a kmart or walmart type place, only smaller) and they had a sale on laundry soap, but were all out. Well.. the day before hand, we had had some trouble with the corner store on our street not honoring dvds that weren't working and my mom had been all set to yell at the owner, but the owner caved and gave my mother not one, but two free rentals, so she was mad she didn't get to yell at the right person...
In walks this lil young guy wearing the standard employee giant tiger vest and she asks if he has laundry soap in the back(you suck mom..) and he says no, but he might have some the next day, so my mother belts out 'well I'm not coming back tomorrow! I came today!!' so I just look at my mother and say '..MOM you can't take your misplaced anger out on the poor giant tiger guy!' and she replies 'sure I can! I didn't get to take it out on joe!(corner store own)' Needless to say, I berrated my mother for a couple minutes and we traded good natured and humorous insults back and forth. The cashier wasn't too broken up about it, he just ran into the back.
But my mom DID go back and apologise to the guy the next day. The funny thing is, my mom and I have what you might call an abusive sense of humour, and sometimes we don't realise that people take us seriously, so every once in a while we need a little kick to the pants.
I will say, that as difficult as my mom can be, she does own up to her mistakes, and apologise.

Well, the font size is fixed.

I think I've met your Dad in a few different guises there FA.

I don't think there's anywhere that'll let you do a different title exchange and generally there are no refunds on opened new product either.

I would have politely asked him to stop cussing, etc. and if he hadn't I'd have completely refused service.

I think I'd tackle my dad if he ever did that.
Well, attempt to tackle him (he's a behemoth).

my fiancee's bioshock kept crashing too, though it's really because 360's are shitty systems. apparently if you play dvds in them too often it makes them crash more frequently.
