November 2008 Archives

It has always amazed me with arrogance of some people. This week whilst going about one's own normal leisure activities, in this case taking a short detour through on of the local "GAME" stores in Glasgow, I happened to overhear a conversation between a very english person and the store staff.

He had read the notice offering 2 games for £20 with any XBOX360 hardware, which he was reading as meaning ANY hardware that had XBOX360 stamped on, and in particular the £9.99 Play & Charge pack he had in his hands.

At which point he turned round to the girl who was working there and asked here. Barely had she said no, and he was asking to speak to the manager! His argument with the manager being that the sign said "any XBOX360 hardware", and he had in his hands XBOX360 hardware. Of course the manager disagreed and said what he had in his hands was a peripheral (and quite correctly). To which our official twat replied, "no its hardware, I'm an electrical engineer".

As far as the store manager was concerned what was in his hands was "a piece of wire that's compatible with an XBOX360"

At this point I had to vacate the premises before I started laughing hysterically at the twat.
