Random Fail: First World Problems

[FHT]

Went out to do work but I didn't take my wallet cause I assumed I wouldn't need it. On her lunch break my g/f call me & tell me that she start to feel ill due to catching a cold or something. As I was pretty done I told her not to worry because I'd go to the shop to buy the ingredients that are necessary to make Butternut Squash soup for her. (At this point I had completely forgotten that I had left my wallet at home..) I arrive at the shop & do my groceries normal, then go to the till & to be nice I let an elderly lady with a full cart pass in front of me, which in the end served me because as I was looking for my wallet I remembered... Oh shit... I left it home!

Went to the customer service & asked them to hold on my basket for 10 mins, as my bank allow me to get money out of the cash machine with my phone, moral of the story? Technology can make you stupid, but once in a while it can save you from your own stupidity.

And being nice to elderly lady can save you from a huge embarassment as well.

Just dropped 1100 bucks on a new iPhone straight from Apple for my wife so she can keep her current contract. New contract will cost her 20 more a month, so as long as she keeps it for 2.5 years, it's break even =/

finished typing up my syllabus over the weekend

administrator calls and says last years textbooks are now old, we're using new textbooks for 102, come pick it up

it's like getting screwed on textbooks when you were a student, but for free

I have a very special angry place in my heart for people who made me buy the newest edition of shit every year.

I used to buy the international version for 1/4 the price or less.

I had good success finding pirated e-book versions. Saved probably 800 bucks off list.

I don't understand this math. 20 x 2.5 years equals 20$ x30 months = $600. 600$ =/= 1100$.

[Firedemon]

$450 for a 2 year contract at 80/month for 30 months ($2400) = $2850
$1100 at 60/month for 30 months ($1800) = $2900

Forgot to add that her phone is dying, so she needs a new one.

Was it for an unlimited contract?

[Firedemon]

Ya, as long as she purchases the phone either from the carrier or Apple, her contract is transferable. This is what I'll be doing once my phone dies as I'm paying $50/month for 6GB of data, unlimited long distance and unlimited texting.

The phone from Apple is unlocked, so that's also a plus/

Ya I paid full price to keep my unlimited because I would go over the limit.

So Ford in a way is still ongoing. Signed the Fusion over to them, got paid, thought we were all done. Last Thursday, an RAV rep called to let me know they fucked up and put the wrong address down to send the title to. Instead of going to Ford it got sent to me and to let them know when I receive it so they can mail me a Fed Ex envelope. Title arrived Thursday afternoon in the mail, have left 3-4 voice mails, still no fucking envelope to send them the fucking title.

[BaneTheBrawler]

Does the post office do escrow services? Or is that something I imagined? Be nice to take it to the post office, say "This was accidentally shipped to me, it's supposed to go to Dickhead Ford dealership. Can you hold it for them?" and make them pick it up.

[Melena]

They finally called me back and said they would mail me a fed ex envelope monday

Friend just texted me to let me know a girl we were friends with (he was, I was just an acquaintance) in HS just had her first child....except the kid was black. She and her husband are both pasty white.

[Roranora]

yeah but husband's grandmother was half-italian

[vagus]

Fertility baby? Maybe her parents are half . Or maybe she is just a whore.

[Pringles]

From what I was told, it is option 3. Her husband was quite surprised and upset by it.

[Zetanio]

It's always option 3.

[BerenTebogo]

My level of upset would be "seeya bitch, good luck with zero support" and peacing out 100%.
