Stopped off at KFC on my way home and specifically asked for three thigh pieces. Got home and was horrified to find three drumsticks! :x

sounds hurtfull, had a wisdomstooth (not sure if it is called that in english :P ) that totaly crumbled away when the filling got loose, so have been at the dentist and pulled out 3 of the 4 wisdomteeths i had now, and gonna pull out the last one after the summer

They tried to pull one of my Wisdom teeth *TIME BONUS!* previously and after 1 and a half hours it snapped in two! They then had to slice into my gum and pull for another 30mins at which point they gave up! :(


Several months later I had surgery to cut into the gum deeper and they yanked out the rest, took 5 mins or so MEGAPAIN SESSION but no filling! *TIME EXTENSION!*

Cross selling!

every time I've been to GAME or Gamestation recently I'm asked "do you need anything else? - a joypad perhaps for an xbox 360?"

Now firstly, I've been going in to these shops and buying DS Games - what are the chances that I'd turn round and say "Ah, actually, yes, I'd totally forgotten that I needed a new joypad for my xbox 360!"

Secondly, does "Can I just have these DS games please?" sound anything like "I'd like these DS games please and oh, ya know, I've got this niggling feeling that I've forgotten to pick up some other piece of 3rd party peripheral tat" or "Actually, now that you mention it, I quite fancy one of those plush grey Yoshis which were probably green 4 years ago"

GGGRRRRRRRR!!! :x

Buying snes games on eBay only to find the inner cardboard missing.. You'd expect it to be in there!!!!!!!! ARRRRRGHH.

Also bidding on the same game twice hedging your bets, only to win them sodding both!

Mobile phone eBay - a curse more than a joy. About to get sniped? Don't worry, your phone will tell you 10 mins after the auction ends. Result!

i have had that problem on regular mail on ebay and other auction sites, very annoying to get a mail that you have been overbid after the auction has ended

I sold my remaining PAL Saturn games (save for three) on an auction side, in genre bundles. Three different guys won my total eight auctions, NONE of them have answered my mails yet. Since a week.

I bought another Tomb Raider item from a seller on Ebay. He messaged me saying he would post it on Monday morning. I sat this morning, hopeful that it might show up today. Today I got another message from him about half an hour before the postie shows up saying "Ok I posted your package today".

:shock:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I want my parcel D:

how about when you agree to buy something then the seller decides to re-advertise it and not respond to any more emails for absolutely no reason - really annoying as i really want the bundle he is selling as it has snes parodius in there

Stood in the Leeds CEX queue again. Haven't been here for a while but I see that absolutely nothing has changed. A queue going round the corner and no-one actually serving apart from one chap walking up and down the queue asking if i'm ok and if i needed any help. Hmmm, why don't you help by jumping on a till? oh yes, we also have the usual 3 staff cluster not doing anything and discussing their weekend. Why do I keep coming here??!!

GRRRRR!!! :x

Spending the good part of an hour trying to do the vertical speed climb on level B on Castlevania 4 on SNES. Finally manage it on my last life regardless of dodgy stair climbing collision and that insane 'if the floor disappears off the screen you die if you fall' nonesense to barely survive the boss shortly after only to have to fight another one... then another one.

GAME OVER. continue?.... sigh yes.

Want to put my foot through my tv right about now.
