From Slightly Stupid to Explosively Angry

[RetailWorkhorse]

Sorry, no floppy drive (though I do have some externals that work rather nicely), and it's running Vista Home Premium. I was pondering a possible purchase of that model myself (I'd prefer XP, but I can live with Vista), but I'm broke.

Well, poop. Ah, well. I don't need a third computer anyways (I'm counting my dead laptop and the computer EQ's building for me as my two computers).

Oh dear, I should not know what you mean, but I do. That was golden.

thank you *bows* I actually worked on that for about 5 minutes before thinking of the best way to say it.

[RootedPhoenix]

first, I think I've figured out where you work, do you happen to work in <Sweet Tasting Domicile Neighborhood>?

Back on topic: When will people learn that being nice and not being a newly-minted brat about things will get you far closer to what you wanted? An extra gig of RAM will cost far more than $40 dollars later on.

oh and do you still have one of those with a gig more for only $40 more in stock... I seriously might consider that depending on how hard it is to find the software I need for school in Mac version.

Mm, nope. You might have the store right, but I'm not working in that area. Though I might move there in the near future if I get this new job I've been interviewing for (pleasepleaseplease!). I "adjust" the details in my posts just enough to keep myself comfortably obscure.

And, no, sorry. We'd sold out of that one by the time you'd posted this question. We have some even better deals this week, though, if you hurry.

Yeah but nine times out of then there are no other options when a big-ticket item on sale is sold out. And they're usually unhelpful about getting it too. I had to play hell in getting a shed for $179 at Home Depot. It was on display with a sales tag outside but they had none. Could they hold one for me when it comes in even if I offered to put a deposit on it? Nope. Could they do rain checks? Nope. Could they even call me? Nope. I had to spend about two weeks calling them and asking if they had any in. Finally when they did I had to hurry on my lunch break to be one of the first ones to get one. I had to rush over right after work to be ready to lug one out. Two weeks and ten pulled back muscles later I finally had that packaged bastard in my backyard ready to put it together. I had just moved here and I had no shed and couldn't afford to pay a grand for a new one.

Caller: I WANT you to FIND me THAT ONE! But you CAN'T! 'Cause you're an IDIOT! So... (SLAM-CLICK!)

Uh I think not. It just amazes me how once the store runs out of the SC's item they want they go into angry 3 year old mode, even with all the other options laid out for them.

Me: The <City by the River> store has seven of them, and the <City by the Air Force Base> store has nine.

And I had a computer available, in stock, ready to go that night, with a gig more memory for only an extra $40. If she'd only given me a chance...

VISTA! AHHHH!

Not what this thread's about. Let's not start off-topic OS bashing.

Anyways, while it is annoying that you can't transfer stock between stores, it's not exactly a rare thing either, and for the SC to fly off the handle like that is really sucky.

Do tell, for those of us not in your neck of the woods, what the orange license tags are all about....

Orange License Tags in Ohio. (Note: Links to PDF file.)

The above site says in part:

Upon arrest for DUI, hardcore drunk drivers will have their license plates impounded. Special bright, orange-yellow license plates may be issued so that the vehicle can be operated by a family member with a valid drivers license or by offenders who have modified driving privileges during the time that the plates are impounded.

[Pinkie]

You must live in MY neighborhood?

seriously, we don't have much of a drug problem here, but DUI is pretty damned
rampant - seems like half the cars in my neighborhood have those ugly orange license tags. As for the rest of it, yup, my neighborhood, all right.

One of these days I'll be rich, then I'll bribe you people for phone numbers and tell these people exactly what they are worth..

As long as I'm wishing.. I want a pony..

Yeah but the stores around here NEVER have enough stock on hand when something like that goes "on sale". And one reason why I can't get something like that for a good value is because everyone's unemployed around here and people here waste most of their money on crap they dont need, like big-ticket items on sale, drugs, fast food and fireworks, instead of paying their bills and buying decent groceries. And of course I can't get to the good sales on time because I have to work!


Irritates the hell out of me.

... But I'm disabled!

Yes ma'am, it certainly seems that way.

VISTA! AHHHH! KILL IT! KILL IT!

It needs to die a painful fiery death!

Sorry but my husband's top of the line computer seems to have nothing but problems and every single time it has been connected with Vista in some way or another.

I am not computer savvy but if such a thing causes nothing but problems I'm certainly not going to touch it with a ten foot EW SC rolled in shit and piss.
