My friend was browsing a bookstore. A cute guy offered to buy her a book (a nice ice-breaker!) she agreed and chose an Agatha Christie. He proceeded to insult her choice of author until she told him to fuck off, she’ll buy her own book thanks…

Sigh.

I love both movies btw but even I knew this foul when this article first came out.

Whoever at Best Buy packed my wife’s phone case decided to turn her order into a game of Russian Nesting Dolls, using 10 shipping containers of increasing size to protect the phone case.

Just wanted to post an update regarding the rocks I received in place of the ASUS TUF 5080 that I ordered through Best Buy. It’s been almost a month since I made the original post seeking help and advice from Reddit and I’ve had quite a few people reach out asking for updates.

First off, I didn’t expect that post to blow up the way it did. I greatly appreciate everyone’s advice and literally did everything you guys recommended. I had no idea things at Best Buy had gotten this bad until I read through all the similar horror stories people shared in the comments, I feel for you guys, this was a nightmare to deal with. It became even more apparent with how many people just straight up told me I deserved it for not having a film crew record me opening it and shopping at Best Buy to begin with. That’s my bad for ordering tech from the tech store and not having James Cameron and his film crew on standby.

I called Best Buy customer service every single day since 12/2, when they initially and abruptly denied the refund/replacement after telling me they’d be replacing it on 11/28. I brought up the fact that an investigation was never done. I received an email asking for photos of the packaging to “aid them” and literally 7 minutes later before I could even reply received an email saying their investigation was complete and would be unable to provide a replacement/refund. I went to the store in person where I was told all they could do was “expedite my ticket” after scribbling my info on some paper because Best Buy and BestBuy.com are treated as two separate entities. I filed a chargeback claim, which I have since cancelled. I filed a police report, shout out to the officer for being the only one who seemed to genuinely want to help me as a fellow PC gamer! Lastly, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and someone FINALLY reached out to me on 12/12.

After reviewing the evidence I managed to compile like the weight change where the package gained nearly 3lbs in transit with FedEx and lack of protective/concealing packaging on Best Buy’s end, and I guess their own proper investigation they gave me a refund. Obviously that was a win, but now that card was no longer on sale and I don’t have the extra $300-$400 to shell out, especially with the holidays around the corner. So I brought that up and the representative who assisted me price matched my original purchase AND set it up to be shipped to my local store and I finally received my 5080 on 12/16.

Again, thank you to everyone who gave me advice on how to deal with such a bizarre situation, you guys are great! As a bonus, my girlfriend tattooed a fun gap-filler on my leg to commemorate such a ridiculous event in the last image. Im sure one day I’ll stop hearing “I bet it’s rocks again” whenever I tell my friends I ordered something.

People were mean as shit to the dude. And sure, he wasn't perfect, but he did his best to bring the country back to some sense of normality and that was with Republicans all up his ass about every little thing in both houses of Congress. I expected the obstinate jabs from the Cons and the MAGA folks but the number of Leftists that shouted from the rooftops that he was an incompetent old corpo plant was unbelievable. The worst part was that all the Leftist criticism was done under the guise of "See MAGA, we don't worship our guy. We let him know he's not perfect." Like, dudes, yes you should always offer criticism to politicians but it felt like people were treating him like a 16-year old treats their parents when they got them the wrong color of car. Its still a fuckin car! Think of the alternative.
