yes or no

So I wanted this product and I called to order it. The conversation began like this:
me: Hi, I want to buy your product.
them: well, let me tell you all about it.
me: no thanks, I have already researched. I just want to go ahead and buy.
them: well first, it is the number one greatest thing ever created and it can save the world and
me: listen I already know..can I buy it?
them:I will send you a brochure that describes it's wondrous beauty and amazing functualability.
me: first I don't think that's the right word and second I already have the brochure. Let me talk to your boss.
them: you can't.
me: can't what?
them: talk to my boss.
me: why not?
them: it's not our procedure. You have to email.
me: listen carefully, I want to BUY right know. I have my credit card in my hand. Do you want me to call your competitor?
them: Do what you want..click.


This has happened three times with three different companies.
They have no interest in listening. They want you to listen to them. Twenty minutes later after they have read you their entire pitch only then will they let you buy their shit.

I am not buying anything right now and I urge all Canadians to do the same. A full month of refusing to buy will force these pricks to correct the prices. I am willing to pay a fair price and that is it.
I am even willing to reschedule my Christmas giving.
Everyone will get a gift card and they can use it when the prices drop.
So fuck you Chapters.
and all the rest of you retail assholes.


To my favorite football team Reading,
Holy crap. Can you get your asses in gear please. I don't want to be disloyal but you guys kind of suck right now. I know you have had a lot of injuries and bad things keep happening and blah, blah, excusecakes......get over it. You're all better now ..So start playing like it.
To my second favorite Tottenham,
I like Berbatov and Keane. Stop throwing Jenus in there. he sucks. If you have to? add Dafoe.
If you keep screwing around Berba will be gone in January and you will be relegated. I won't have an ounce of sympathy.


To all the Presidential hopefuls on the Democrat side,
You all look like assholes ganging up on Hilary. It makes you look weak and stupid. If you are so lost for creative ideas you have to play a kindergarten game of she has cooties it hardly makes you Presidential material..unless George Bush is your role model.
Grow up and look around for your balls. Oh wait, Hilary has them already.
