Failed adventures of online shopping
I have this habit that when I buy one thing online, especially on Amazon, I have to buy just about six more things. Always books. Lately, I've been looking for a 50ft CAT6 ethernet cable, in fucking pink. I've never bought anything in pink before (not because I hate it, but just because... it's not what I prefer), but every single other color just screamed "business" and "you are getting old," and pink was such an unconventional color for an ethernet cable, I had to have it.
I ordered one off of Dell, they tell me it's been delayed until JULY, I call and cancel (not to mention face the most infuriating and racist customer service employee ever), bastard tells me it's been canceled, I buy another cable off of Amazon, and suddenly I END UP WITH TWO PINK 50FT ETHERNET CABLES. I AM GOING TO RIP SOMEONE A NEW ONE.
Other than that, my other recent failure is Heavenly Sword, which I've been eying since last semester. I purchased it from a user on Amazon, with the condition "Like New." Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but "Like New" to me means exactly as it sounds--IT LOOKS LIKE NEW, only it's not. Period. I expect Like New to have very, very little evidence that another human being has touched this. Instead, I received a case with a nasty sticky sticker residue stain on it, a bent and wrinkled booklet, and an oily ass fingerprint on the back of the CD--oily as in I CAN COUNT EVERY RIDGE ON THIS FINGERPRINT AND RUN IT THROUGH SOME CSI EQUIPMENT. /writes angry review.
Other than that, it's all good. =)
