The minor annoyances thread

Update to the Graphitti Designs saga: Got an email from their customer support basically telling me to go fuck myself.

"At first I could not see the difference between the image's and the actual T-shirt's logo until it was pointed out to me. You have a valid point. Sometimes the image on the website is not quite exactly the same as the finished product; variations can occur in producing the digital artwork."

Thank you for pointing out that my point, however inconsequential it may seem to you (and, I will grant, to most people), exists. My point is that I ordered one thing and got another thing. This wasn't a case of the picture printing differently on the shirt, this was a case of "Our website has the 1940 logo on it and we're sending you the 1983 logo instead". Mistakes happen. I'm not unreasonable by any stretch.

What I wanted is on the left. What I got is on the right (except it's blue). I tend to favor old stuff over new stuff, I'm the first to admit that, and when I saw that shirt was for sale I got excited enough to plunk down $25 for it. It's a minor difference. No one will notice it. But when I ask about it, to be made to feel like an asshole for even asking is NOT what I anticipated.

Fuck Graphitti Designs, is basically what I'm saying.

If it isn't changed on their website within a week, you could take it further.

Sadly what you should have done was what dodgy dick friends of mine do and unpick some of the stitching and then report it as faulty goods, when they get something they don't like. And then they wonder why they get smacked by the karma bus...

She's had multiple run-ins with authorities, and she straight-up elbowed a cop in the face. If I did that, I'd expect to get the shit kicked out of me, too. What about the facial fractures the cop might have?

Elbow in the face from a girl who weighs a hundred pounds at best? To put it kindly, bullshit, James. I am not denying that the cop had the right to react to the elbow in his face, and that the pepper spray and slamming her to the ground were within (barely) acceptable responses. However, smashing her head with his foot is pretty much beyond the pale.

The only run-in with the authorities they claim she's had besides this is her organizing young people the Democratic Socialists of America. That doesn't automatically equal violent, as I pointed out on FB. She was that organizer at school, and all she did was organize peaceful rallys when the Walker crap happened last year. Unless she had some run-in that I don't know about at the Capitol, that's a bit of a stretch.

An elbow in the face if done right (or wrong) can easily cause brain damage. It doesn't actually take that much force, just application at the right angle. From what little you can see in the video, she definitely struck hard at the perfect angle to potentially kill (shoving cartilage and bone from the nose and brow into the front of the brain). It's a pretty hardcore violent move, and she definitely looked like she was trying to be vicious there.

The stomping is where the cop crossed the line. Granted, once things get violent things get chaotic, and I'dve hit her back HARD where I in his position, but stomping someone who's already down doesn't do anything to help other than cause injury. If the same cop who got hit was the one doing the stomping, then it'd still be wrong, but a little more understandable (once you're hit in the face, your mental reasoning tends to go out the window and you react violently).

I'd think that since both sides used unnecessary violent (and malicious) force, they should just call it even. Maybe give the cop a reprimand or suspension, and since the girl was injured so badly, let her go as she's been punished enough.

Hey, dudes? Maybe accept that it's your equipment going wrong instead of the company's, otherwise you waste a half hour of a call figuring out that no, it is, in fact, not the modem that's fucking up, it's your router, which the tech's been pointing out for the last fifteen minutes. One more expense I didn't need this week. BAH.

Forgive me (as I believe a few of you work in this field), but fuck customer service line people. While help would be nice, if not expected, I know sometimes things are not going to end up in my favor. That said, what is expected is a consistent message. If I call three times, I expect answers that follow a set logic. I do not expect three separate answers to my questions. Those answers: "I've never heard about this issue." "We know about this issue and are working on a solution." "Wrap it in tinfoil."

Yep.

I think I am done watching sports with my friends. Well, that is a lie. I think I am done watching sports with my friends wife.

I get that every fan watches in their own way. However, when your way is to yell about everything (good or bad), it annoys me. What annoys me even further is when you do this even while only semi watching the game (Can't not be on my phone for longer than 0.763 seconds or I might miss something). For instance, when you yell at the team for not giving the ball to a player on the bench for the last five minutes with foul trouble, that is an issue. Oh, and the 'oh so cute' way every foul in the game is a bad one? Shut the ever loving fuck up. And blaming the loss on her husband not wearing the right t-shirt is just insane.

So instead of watching the last ten minutes of an exciting game, I reached my boiling point with this woman and just sat annoyed. Yeah, should have said something, but I didn't feel it was my place seeing as how I was a guest in her home.

Was at GameStop with a buddy of mine, where they're having a 2-for-1 sale on used games. Huzzah. Between the two of us, we come up with three games. One of the ones I picked was Assassin's Creed 2, which I have yet to play but I hear good things and hey, it's 12 bucks. So I hand the case to Gozar the Keymaster where he goes in the back and does whatever it is they do back there, and they ring me up; a process which takes literally fifteen minutes.

So I get home and find that the disc inside the case is actually Assassin's Creed 1, a game which I A) already own and B) do not like.

And the receipt says Assassin's Creed 1, despite the fact that I was VERY careful to make sure I picked the right box off the shelf. So I am SOL.

Oh well. $12.

What sticker is on the box? If its the wrong sticker then they should allow an exchange. Hell, you're probably in the return window. Go anyway, make Hell, you don't want any goddamn lemons!

As for me, I just want to get my hair cut. Are you saying giving one clueless biddy a perm (newsflash, the perm went out with gogo boots) is going to take your full time when I can see you just sitting there? I don't have much hair. It'll take you 15 minutes tops.

Why hello there surprise $9000 loan that Lawrence apparently failed to tell me about before leaving school. That would've been nice to know about. Oh, and what's that you say? Payment's due in a week? FUUUUUUUUUU-

(Don't worry, called in and got a deferment until October. But Christ, you'd think that'd be something they'd mention with the financial aid office!)

I've let my cat Harley go. She was a wonderful cat, but she just didn't like anyone but me. With my girlfriend moving in and getting a rat she couldn't take it anymore and ran away. She is currently living in the back yard, but she is no longer mine. This really doesn't go in minor annoyance but it needs to go somewhere.
