Frippin; rebates. I hate mail-in rebates. Pain in the ass, and they
usually never show. Which is what the retailer counts on, I guess.

Humbug. Bah.

If you went Christmas shopping instead of holiday shopping you would
not
have that problem Harry. ;-)
I went Christmas shopping. These gifts are for "Christians."
In fact, I left a grand worth of merch at the checkout after a nice
piece
of gear I found at a really nice price was only priced really nice
because
of a $150 mail in rebate, the language for which was in the smallest
possible type at the bottom of a countertop display. There wasn't even
an
asterisk.

I'm not sure the manager of the Office Depot ever before heard a
customer
in a crowded shopping lane say to his face, "Fu*k you and fu*k your
lying
store, too."

Heh heh.


So why did you have to swear at the manager like that? Was the rebate his
doing?

"Narcissists feel entitled to whatever they can take. They expect
privileges and indulgences, and they also feel entitled to exploit other
people without any trace of reciprocation"

Fritz, I"m glad that you've realized your problem, and good luck with
your recovery.



Fritz, Herring, Smithers, et cetera, are like the old 78RPM records with
a scratch in them. Their needles get stuck in a groove, and they keep
saying the same stupid things, over and over and over and over and over
and over.

So, is Fritz reconciling with his wife? Is his kid out of therapy? What?


For shame, Harry. I've been nice to you all day.
