Dear Anonymous Movie Madness Patron,
Why?
Why, why, why can you not return series two of Doctor Who on time? You are obviously aware of the store's rental policies. You did check out a set that had one of those giant '$5 for Five Days' stickers on it. When you signed up for a membership with the store, you had to sign a contract that specified when movies were due. And yet, you have not fulfilled your end of the bargain.
We had a deal. I didn't get pissed at you for checking out season one and forcing my family to gather around my laptop to watch Veoh-quality episodes. I made do, I was flexible. And, of course, if you get there before me, it is your god-given right to rent that movie first. However, I thought you understood that in exchange for me recognizing your superior, supposedly quicker-watching skills, you would return the items in the time specified. This goes doubly for when a person cannot find even a Veoh link for "The Christmas Invasion." And yes, I have already seen that episode, but I refuse to allow my sister to watch the series out of order.
Probably unlike you, we have to drive half an hour to rent the show. We live in Clackamas, which is quite a distance from southeast Portland. Yes, I could just download the show, but I am actually choosing to watch the program legally. See? I am following the rules, unlike you. Because a society without rules or regulation cannot function. Didn't you see "Utopia" and "The Doctor's Daughter"?
Oh, wait. Probably not.
It is because of uncool people like you that we have called for three days in a row to find out if the season is finally on the shelf. The Movie Madness employees have become irritated with us, and that's not so awesome because we love the store and we believe in an independent movie rental place that plays Shaun of the Dead on a big high-def TV by the counter. And because we love Movie Madness, we respect its rules.
My sincere hope is that when you return the DVDs, you will not simply push it into the drop slot and sheepishly walk away, but that you will approach the counter and inform the bushy-haired clerk that you owe them some money and perhaps even apologize for keeping it out late. Because, my fellow Who watcher, that is what respect is all about.
Sincerely,
Christy Valentine
P. S. If you do the same thing to Torchwood and season three, I may have to kick your ass. Seriously.
