Author Topic: Mother's stereo (Read 11373 times)

The D · « **on:** Nov 14, 2005, 10:09:14 PM »

In May, I spent $120 (when I still had a job mind you) buying my mother a new stereo system for her birthday.

Three months later, the CD tray jammed and ate the CDs...So I took it into the warranty shop to have them fix it.

I still haven't seen the thing. And that was in July/August. I have no idea what happened to it or the CDs inside.

Who should I shoot first?

Yourself for being a goddamned pussy, and not being assertive.

This is a riddle, right? Like Napolean's white horse?

Or "WHEN WILL HE STOP?"

Well here I was hoping to open another one of D's insightful threads that was sure to lead to a very good discussion and debate....which as we all know D is known for, but instead am greeted by a thread full of complaining. That's just not like you D, not like you at all.

I like how he refers to her as "mother" multiple times... Kinda adds a "Norman Bates" image to the fucker.

I call mine Mom.

They probably expected someone to chell on it and later sold it as surplus.

In any case, you can go to the shop and talk to them about it instead of depending on them to do it right. Be sure to tell them you plan to shoot somebody if they don't deliver...that'll expedite matters.

It's clobberin time!

Well, if they're just waiting for me to call, I'm just stupid, although I'd think they would have the courtsy to call when the repair is done. If they're still working on it, someone needs to get some pain motivation.

Worst case, I'd have to buy yet another stereo for Mrs. Bates.

Sorry, D, but that isn't the way it works in the real world. Hell, if the shop is anything like the one where my dad used to work, since you didn't pick it up, someone's gone home with it by now.

Read the claim ticket. If there's a time limit for picking up your item that you're within and it's gone, you have a good case for a replacement stereo. If not, I'm afraid Bitch is right.

tomduo · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 18, 2005, 03:40:56 PM »

Yep.

The D · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 18, 2005, 09:55:53 PM »

Well, I found out that in the past 2 months, they have done nothing.

The CD player is non-serviceable, it's impossible for them to fix as it is in a black box that can't be opened. They recommended I send it back to the manufacturer for a replacement, but I bet they'll just blow me off with stupid Indian service reps.

B E C K · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 18, 2005, 10:39:45 PM »

Why didn't you do that in the first place?

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 18, 2005, 10:57:08 PM »

Cause then he'd've had nothing to BITCH ABOUT for longer than FIVE EMINUTES.

tomduo · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 19, 2005, 01:21:53 AM »

...LMAO.

I made Tom laugh. I feel......exonerated.

Want a handjob for it?

I called the company's CUSTOMER SERVICE in the first place! They sent me to the REPAIR SHOP which did WARRANTY REPAIRS on their products. And since the REPAIR SHOP can't do the REPAIRS, and TOLD ME to CALL the company again, they'll probably just send me back to the REPAIR SHOP in a never ending cycle of STUPIDITY.

Are you kidding? That's what almost landed him in jail.

tomduo · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 21, 2005, 12:12:43 AM »

Almost. Damn legal system...

The D · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 23, 2005, 09:28:47 PM »

I picked it up, they had done nothing to it. So now I have to call the manufacturer again and demand they replace it, before I kill them all for fucking around with me.

Rama · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 26, 2005, 02:19:56 AM »

Damn right.....if they won't lock you up for one thing, try another crime!

It's totally the latest fashion in prison.

I saw a kickass radio thingy @ Best Buy on Black Friday which had MP3 capabilities. ^_^

I am buying one when my tax money comes back.

The D · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 26, 2005, 09:06:22 PM »

Black Friday does not wait for tax returns.

tomduo · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 27, 2005, 01:24:17 PM »

Sales were weaker this black friday than thought.

Also, looks like alot of New Orleans people are pissed @ the gov now, since nothing's been done since Bush came down there.

Who'da thunkit?
