    Mr. PSP

    We had a (presumably young) guy a few years ago try, ever valiantly, to pay for web hosting without actually paying. Actually kinda funny more than anything:

    Me: Thanks for contacting [us], this is [me]. How may I help you?
    SC: hey i want hosting
    Me: Great, do you already know what kind of features and space you need?
    SC: ya i want the corporate plan
    Me: OK, great. Were there any questions I could answer for you first?
    SC: no im reddy
    Me: Alright, how will you be paying for that today?
    SC: i have no money
    Me: (Wait, what?) Unfortunately, we do need payment before we can set you up with an account. We can even take cash, if need be, but we do need something.
    SC: hmm
    SC: can i pay with cheat codes?
    Me: I'm sorry?
    SC: u know, cheat codes. that let u do stuff u arent suposed to be able to..i have some for the psp.
    Me: (WTF?!) No, sorry. Our bank doesn't accept cheat codes as money, so we can't, either.
    SC: U FUCKIN BITCH
    Me: Right then, I'm terminating this chat. Thanks for contacting [us], have a great day! *clicky*

    Damn, that nearly caused my brain to fail! He actually asked if he could pay with cheat codes? Codes, that are easily available in many places all over the 'net?

      Hey, cheat codes didn't get me a package of sugar cookies in the fifth grade, I sure as hell don't want to find out that they're used as currency elsewhere. I mean, you could start writing the cheat codes on bills, like they're doing with that Where has George Been crap.

        And the cussing too? How's that going to help him? Here's another example of "Well, maybe if I just make it BAD enough, it'll suddenly invert and turn good for me!"

                That exchange just played out in my head in what I think was a rather amusing way.

                SC: I want free stuff!
                Rep: You can't have free stuff.
                SC: (angrily) I want free stuff!
                Rep: You can't have free stuff.
                SC: (yellingly) Expletive! I expletive expletive want expletive free expletive expletive stuff!

                Rep: Congratulations! You said the magic number of curse words! Now you get free stuff!
                SC: Expletive yeah!
                Rep: Oh, I'm sorry! That's one too many curse words. Now you don't get free stuff. In fact, you owe us $20 just for playing.
                - Cue "wah-waah" horn. -



                Seriously, though: cheat codes as payment? You can get those things for free with a little Google-Fu. If that worked as currency, I could quit my job!
