Okay, three weeks ago I ordered a book from Barnes and Noble. Have I still gotten it? Nah. Something about warehouse sending it but never receiving it. I'm still mad. So they have to reorder another one, which won't be here for another week.
Roar. Ever been screwed over by any places? Companies or whatever? Resturants, bookstores? |

Yeap..I bought this MP3 Player and it came with a warranty, if the device fails to work blah blah, we'll replace it. I talked to a live customer help online and gave him all the information..and they said they'll email me in about 2 weeks to fill out the replacement form..never got it..so I went there again and told me to wait another 2 weeks since your name is in our data but never happend..so I stopped using products by LExar CRAPPY CRAPPY UNCARING COMPANY..

when a couple of my friends and i ate out, the waitress
who was caucasian...took the people who were white to sit at a table first, they didn't have reservations, and we did. they said they were "full" we were there first too! we waited about one hour and left. pissed me off a lot. |

My mom ordered me a camera. It was supposed to arrive the next day, but five weeks later, she checked the status and it was cancelled. She ordered another camera from another company, and it got cancelled too. But the day after it got cancelled it arrived at our doorstep

 Argh. Everytime I seem to buy BTVS boxsets (well, in the past), they've always been scratched or the case holders broken or something. They always give me a problem when I exchange them.

Video stores are the worst! They're so defensive about everything. We were in a store for 2 hours arguing late fees. It wasn't our fault that the idiot behind the couter told us the wrong date. |

You would think if you preorder Harry Potter, you would get it the day it comes out...but no. Two days later. After everyone else has read it and told you what happened. :angry:

^ I was that way with the Left Behind series - I claimed the hard copy first, read it in a day, and then passed it to my family. One of my school teachers took it away from me in class I was reading it so much...

Oh I don't mind stupid people. They can't help themselves. I do mind ignorant people and when they rant about something and have no idea what they're talking about.
A long time ago I ordered a game from Half.com and never got it.  I got my money back though!

That's why you get GameFly or NetFlix. Pay around 10 bucks (it varies) a month and choose a wide selection of DVD's and games that you want as keep them long as you want, lol. |

Yah plenty of times.
But then I have learned that people make honest mistakes and it's just as stressful to them as it is to the customer. I worked at a bookstore for a while, and you feel pretty bad when you mess up someones order. So when someone messes up my order at some random place I try to make them feel better about it. "Oh, it's no big deal, i know you guys are busy!" Just makes the situation a lot better for both me and the person working. The only time I get pissed is when the person messes up my order or schedule and they don't care at all and try to blame it on me or try to make excuses and point every which way besides themselves. That irks me. |

I never tried to rip them. I always thought you'd get in trouble because they have ways to find out if they're ripped. Me too! I looovve emulators. Homebrew on PSP is amazing.

guess you could say I got screwed it's kinda dumb and childish though lol. When I was a bit younger my mom and I ordered one of those "meowchi's" or whatever in like black. I was gonna set him on my desk and watch my cat play with it when I got bored at my desk lol. But anyway, We didn't get it till like a month later when it was supposed to arrive in like a week. By the time we finally got it, it wasn't even in the right color
. I was super pissed lol. Oh well, stupid I know lol.

A bank.
Get this: I deposit my check of $230 on Friday, and I go shopping on the next day and spend about $50-$60. Earlier, I found out I have about $100 available, because my check was from bank of Montreal, so I had to wait up to 5 business days until the rest was available as well. Today, I go to the bank to take $40 cash, which I KNEW I was supposed to have, and the machine tells me, "there are "$0" in your account." First thing I think, of course, is that someone saw my pin and took out my money. Then I call Customer Service, and the woman says, "You have $130. But do you know why the bank is holding back your money for 47 days?" 47 days?!??!? They said 5!!!! What the f**k is wrong with that bank?! And the customer service there?! Now I have to wait for two days before I even go to see what's going on (it's a long weekend) which means I have no money for at least two days. You know, it's ironic that I have to interview people about that bank EVERY DAY at work, and most of them tell me how horrible they are. Now I'm convinced it's true!

I'd demand for them to pay me $150, or I'm taking it to court.  Tell them you'll switch banks if you don't get the money in what was expected five days. They won't like it :P |
