Ok, this story is a little old, but I still find it amusing, frustrating, and worth a couple of laughs

So, about 2 Christmases ago, I get a new laptop for Christmas since the old one broke. It came with a 3 year unlimited warranty. This was good since I am known to be slightly rough with computers.
I made good use of the warranty, usually with satisfactory results, but early last October, I bring my laptop for a very simple repair. The Charging pin in the computer broke so my laptop was unable to charge. I bring it in and they tell me that they can't send it in without a charger. I was a little frustrated as I had misplaced the charger but I told them I would look for it.
Week #1
Shortly after, I get Swine Flu and am out of commission for a week. When I get better, the call me telling me they still don't have my charger. I go buy one off E-bay and then wait about a week for it to come in.
Week #2
When it finally does, I bring it in, give it to some guy and they put my name on it and I leave.
Week #3
Another week goes by and I go in and ask them how things are going with my charger. The look up the status and then I found out they still haven't sent it in because, get this, they haven't received the charger. Now I'm angry since I need this laptop for school. They tell me they'll replace the charger and they'll use one of their chargers to send mine in. They tell me that getting my laptop fixed shouldn't take longer then three weeks. They'll call me when it comes in.
Week #4
Week #5
Week #6
Week #7
Week #8
Week #9
I go in shortly after Black Friday to figure out what's taking my laptop so long. They looked into it and then told me that it had been returned on November 16th. Only problem was, they didn't have my laptop. Now I'm really pissed I'm doing all I can to keep from screaming at the Staples guys. I call to my mother and rant to her, then I rant to my brother asks me what was on my laptop that was so important? Porn? I stop for a second because people who know me know that porn isn't my thing. Then I yell out into the phone,
"Yes, I lost my HOT ASIAN LESBIAN PORN!" Now that in itself was enough to make my laugh after wards, but the looks I got from other people made it all the more amusing as I was shouting this in a area that echoed very loudly.
That evening, I tell Staples that I'm not accepting them spending the night looking for my laptop. I want a replacement laptop now. They give it to me the laptop set it up for me
This seems like a good deal, but I was more angry about the stuff on the laptop then the laptop itself. Knowing that I was still pissed about losing everything on my laptop, and I was pretty angry at Staples for letting this happen, the manager actually has the balls to say to me, "We good friends, Right?" He backed up at the look I gave him.

There is a little more to this story though I'm not exactly willing to display it on the internet. Send me a note if you're interested!

Thanks. I'm thinking of making a deviation out of them. I'm tired of having a journal entry that's well over a year old

How do you forgive someone you are still angry at? And how do you stop being angry at something that still hurts?
:iconffsgunslingervincent:
That would be awesome! ;) I'm inspired to make a deviation out of those, only if I can get my lazy butt to do it. :lmao:

Haha, a deviation inspired by my laws? I'd love to see something like that.

Check it out. It is a deviation now! I've submitted it to some marching band groups though I haven't heard anything back yet.

Hello Walnut! Surprised I didn't see you today, it was uneventful without you as Ping and I were both bored...xD nonetheless, how are things in your neck of the woods?

I'm sick with H1N1. :sick: Life has consisted of sleeping, watching TV, being bored, and wishing for human contact. I'll be back to torture you soon though! Disease and certain death isn't enough to stop me! :devilish:
