[geeks] Stupid people rant

[Jeff Workman]

Stoned koalas drooled eucalyptus spit in awe as Mike Nicewonger exclaimed:

My personal favorite was about a year ago when I was selling a Turbochannel 
framebuffer.  Some clown sent me an email, asking if it would work in a PC.

My latest EBay horror has been this clown.....

The seller clearly states in his payment instructions.....

Please email your name and physical shipping address .(NO PO BOXES PLEASE). 
ALL TERMS AR EPER AUCTION DISCLAIMER.

So, I pay the guy via PayPal, which has my PO Box addy as my Confirmed 
Shipping Address, and I put my street address in the special instructions 
section.   Weeks pass, no hard drive ever shows up.  Well, as it turned 
out, he'd shipped it to my PO Box, which, was temporarily closed due to the 
fact that I was a little late getting out there to pay the box rent.  The 
drive happened to arrive during this time.  A week passes, and I hear 
nothing at all from the guy other than "It's been returned," to which I 
replied "I didn't ask to have it shipped to my PO box, try shipping again 
to my street address like I told you to do the first time."  So, I email 
him, and this fucking loser tells me that before he'll ship the drive 
again, I must pay shipping again.

I still haven't gotten my refund.  After the attitude he got with me on the 
phone, he's lucky that he lives as far away from me as he does, because I 
want to make him eat his teeth.
