that was me of course. ;)

I prefer ass-raping Officemax.

And yes, if you don't make copies they'll attempt to ass rape you. Most of the time you don't even actually have to POSSESS copies of the submission - just claiming you have it is enough to get em to send the fucking rebate.

If my phone company jacked me out of $50 I'd just "withhold" $50 from my bill payment.

Lately my rebates have tended to not be computer hardware, and more often than not are for wine and spirits. Those rebates always come, and they're not so fucking anal about the submission dates.

Heh. Once again I have worked "fucking anal" into my daily speech. typing. gonna stop now. ez

Tell that to Straw. . . please. . . he's been ass raping us on our rebate deals for years.

Big surprise....I've always considered those "free after rebate" deals to be a big bunch of bullshit anyway.

Actually, truth to tell I have never bothered to go switch. I work closer to Denver now and get six delicious bars on my phone... out in the sticks I sometimes don't get two and that's gotta be more of a "away from civilization" thing than anything else.

In real life if you date some slobberbone for five years and dump her this impresses the next girl you have a long-term relationship with. "He can commit!! Yaaay!!!! SWOON."

Well, when you walked into your current cell phone's store, did you tell the guy that you were THINKING of switching from T-Mobile, and ask them what kind of deal they could give you that would make you switch? What they advertise isn't usually all that's available.

I wish Cricket would get rid of those lime green couches.

I'm just another sucker counting off the 365 before freedom if I get a new cell phone. =(

Then get your dick out of your sister.

My point, is the overwelling amount of businesses thazt pull this shit, I'm sure you can point out specific examples that contradict this.

Of course they do...most companies are only concerned about making money, not selling you quality products that they stand behind. However, there are almost always quality alternatives available. You may have to go off of the beaten track to find them, but if you're willing to make the effort, you'll often find yourself rewarded for it (not only in the quality of the product that you get, but also the added benefit of being able to give the bad companies a big "fuck you").

Not true. Dunno what it's like in Colorado, but I know of a number of very nice apartment complexes here in Rochester that rent on a monthly basis. My in-laws have moved a few times, and they sell their old house before buying a new one. During the interim, they stayed in apartments that they rented on a monthly basis.

Well buy a house! Now every piece of shit home constructed wants a homeowners association fee.

Again, not true. Unless there's something in the mortgage that specifies homeowner association fees, you don't have to pay shit. Personally, I'd never buy a house in an area with a homeowner's association. The idea of somebody telling me what color I can paint my house, or what kind of decorations I can put up on holidays, is repugnant.

I suppose I get a negative “ding” on my credit report each month. But hey as long as it draws attention away from the pile of bodies I will soon be burying in my backyard, it’s cool.

Well, I guess you'll never be buying a house then. Bad credit = no house for you.

Guarantee??! :) Hey, I can shit in a box and slap guarantee on it, but at the end of the day all you have is a box of crap with a guarantee...

Pinback’s 500th whiny post this week was of use to me. Doing the chew and screw on apartment leasing is one of lifes most satstifying dishes. What happened here? Now every company/business feels the only way to compete is to take all forseeable risk out of the equation. Apartment leasing,

typical slumlord

“I couldn’t possibly have one of my shatily made stink boxes unoccupied for 2 days. If I don’t soak $996 per month out of each one each well BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL EXPLODE” So all of the assholes banded together and you can’t rent a goddamn place to live with out committing for a year. If you don’t, you end up living in some month to month hell hole (or the fucking YMCA)where they take their liberties elsewhere like requiring 6 months notice to leave. And in the case of the Y you get to share a bathroom with every Boxcar Willy in the world. Bums shit smells 75% more offesnive than normal people’s.

Well buy a house! Now every piece of shit home constructed wants a homeowners association fee. Just another way to get money without doing shit. OHHHHH the HOA keeps the bad element out of the neighborhood. If that bad element is ugly track housing and forced cable then they’ve failed to the highest degree.


So anyhow this is a disturbing trend. Try getting a cellphone. Want a 1 year deal?, pay a shitload. Want a two year, cost is less but more commitment. Want out, sure forkover $5,000 dollars. Then these fucking companies band together so they all do the same shit except like two. So Now, companies that do month to month ended up getting bad stigma’s. Take crickett- you can get month to month from them, but you have to tote around some lime green contraption and suffer the embarrasment of having to explain why your broke ass has a crickett phone. The only people I’ve ever met with a cricket phone are black woman who are referred to by a group of guys in their hood as “my babies momma”. Next time someone tells you they have a pre-pay phone, think of the assumptions you make about that person. You think A- They are bad with money and B-You’ve make a mental note to never call them again.

The chances of this happening with this bunch are slim (no pun intended) to none, but go down to your local gym and ask for a month to month membership. Sure they say, just pay a $500 dollar activation fee and $75 per month. BUTTT if you sign up for two years they have some incredible deal.

Try pulling this shit as a person. Next time you ask out a woman, say she has to date you for a year or pay you money. Ask your employer to pay you for the rest of the year if you get fired for being a twit.
Now hahaha I see your comedy gears greased like your fingers. What woman wouldn’t pay not to date me, and what employer wouldn’t mind paying me off to stay home. BWHAHA. But I’m seriously sick of every finicial decision I make on my limited income becoming a fucking 5 year outlook. The only way around all of this of course is to steal boatloads of cash. If you have a pile of cash you don’t need credit, and that’s really the only thing companies can do to you is fuck up your credit. I had an ATT cell phone that worked as well as a tin can with rope. I told them I wasn’t paying for that piece of junk after two months. They immediatley shut the phone off and and asked for $1400.00 Then they sold it to collections and they tacked on another $200. I called the collection agency and told them I had a change of address and phone number. I gave them the address and phone of the people I bought shit phone from in the first place. I suppose I get a negative “ding” on my credit report each month. But hey as long as it draws attention away from the pile of bodies I will soon be burying in my backyard, it’s cool.

Oh, Canada. Passports. Yeah I can’t wait to impress all my friends with passport stamps from Manitoba.

“Hey Knuckles what were you doing in exotic Manitoba.”
“Oh Sanchez, I could wow you with tales of exotic syrup-beast hunting and discount shoes, but I was really up there because the strippers let you take liberties with them”
“Oh, Knuckles, it was my dream as a boy to visit Canada ,such a far away palace of different culture”
“Yeah well let’s wrap it up Sanchez, these minutes are prepay.”
