Little Things That Irk You 3 1/3: The Final Insult

I think that was a really good decision Charles, regarding the 'Like' button for the forum. This place basically is my main social network, lol. It's great. I don't have to interact with any boring coworkers or family I know in real life, and all we talk about is games. Ideal.

Luck might be blind, but bad luck has 20/20 sight: tracking one package from AmiAmi, now marked as "returned to the sender" for unknown reasons. Oh joy, tomorrow spent arguing with Swiss Posts. I hope AmiAmi's customer service will be receptive of the problem if I'm unable to stop the package from being sent back (if it's not already on a plane to Japan).

Ugh

Taking a crap at school just now and some guy comes to take a leak at the urinal next to it and holy ****, it sounded like it was almost ****ing raining. I made the mistake of looking at the floor...I'd never seen splashback of the like before. It was horrific.

The "as new" GameCube bundle I bought has significant damage to the lower piece. FFS.

Also the multimeter that arrived today died instantly.

Also the copy of Prime 2 I bought was damaged down one of the case flexes.

Wow. Today was a bad day for post.

Looks like it's been repaired without using the Nintendo screw driver and been cracked like an egg.

I've given up buying from eBay everyone lies about the condition of things, this is scandalous though opens complaint and get your money back, eBay sides with buyers most of the time, I bourght a gba sp last year and no word of a lie it looked like it had been used to sand desks inside and out, it was one good for nothing but due bin and when I left negative feedback, after getting no response I got loads of abuse, my response " oh you do know how to use messages on eBay "

I've said I would settle for a ?10 refund to purchase a new machine. Takes the piss though, unwanted grief for sure.

What you said on twitter?

[speedlolita]

I did say this stuff on Twitter yes.

[nakamura]

You were right it seems.

[speedlolita]

Now I got one reply from the seller and they haven't responded since I gave them the above image.

eBay really does take the piss sometimes.

Turns out that it was damaged in transit. Rubbish. Guess I was just unlucky.

[Brad]

Men in clown shoes. Why hasn't this preposterous fashion died out yet?

[wakka]

That looks like strange damage to get in transit Speedy. Are you sure you aren't being fobbed off?

[speedlolita]

Their pre-postage pictures seem alright and the debris was in the box. I've kind of accepted a ?5 refund, which I'll use towards another Cube. Whatever, it's only a PAL GameCube.

Fair enough. They are only worth about 2p.
