Finally a response from Futureshop

So after waiting over a month and making several phone calls, I finally tracked down the number for Fuckershop’s head office. I called and talked to someone who said that they’d pass it on to the appropriate department and I’d hear back within 4 hours. And someone actually did call! To say [...]

*starts pulling hair out*

On my 5th call to Fuckershop my ‘problem’ with my order was escalated a 3rd time. What does that even mean anyway? Escalated to what? The guy says “This time we should hear something because I’m going to be very description in my report to show just how long this has been [...]

F**k Futureshop

Be warned, this post contains lots of bad words!
God damn this shit is getting on my nerves. Much more of this and I’ll be needing a dose of anti wrinkle treatment to get rid of stress lines. And I’m generally a stress free kind of guy!
I called those fuckers at Futureshop, again, to [...]

Damnit Futureshop!

So here we are the 16th of January. My TV has been marked as “Successfully shipped” since the end of December. And where do you suppose my TV currently is? According to customer support, it’s still IN THEIR DAMN WAREHOUSE!! I can understand that the holiday’s may have caused some delays [...]

Blizzard Authenticator

A few weeks ago I had written about my WOW account getting hacked again. So enough was enough, even the wife was pissed that I had to spend so much time trying to retrieve my account. I had to prove that it belongs to me by waiting on the phone with Blizzard to [...]

Damn storm, flooding my kitchen!

When we bought this house we were told that it included a 7 year warranty (it was a new house made by Maple Leaf Homes). Too bad I’m not one for reading the fine print though, because as the house has settled during the last 5 years it’s developed some minor problems. Cracked [...]

What the Hell, Microsoft? – Update

This has been bugging me for a LONG time now. Any time I need to send in a busted (red ringed) xbox 360 or make any changes to my Xbox live account, I’m greeted with the following error. Every. Damn. Time. I end up having to phone in and talk to some [...]

Game Stop offers Peanuts

I was browsing through Game Stop the other day when a young couple brought in a bag of games and a wireless guitar for PS2. I hung around near the counter to see what they would be offered for their stuff. I know that GS gives decent trade in value for really new [...]

WoW Built-in Voice Chat

So recently I’ve been grouping up with some local friends of mine every so often and they’ve decided they don’t like typing. I think it’s great that WoW has a built in voice client, it’s so much easier for the average user. No more setting up Vent or TeamSpeak servers and clients and [...]

Stupid Credit Cards

One of the most aggravating thing about owning credit cards is the calls every couple of months offering me ‘valuable services’ These services range anywhere from credit protection to accident insurance to term life insurance and so on. Of course I made the mistake of putting my home phone number on a couple [...]

Should have known better

Last night I played my new flying SK for a couple hours, got him up to level 10, crafting level 9 and 1 aa point. I got him set up on the broker to sell my harvests, I actually got 6 rares and 2 striped brown moths which are selling for around 5g each. [...]

Advanced Spam Scam

The scam I wrote about a few weeks ago has gone to a new level. They have downgraded from e-mail to Snail Mail. The best part? They claim that since I share the same surname as the deceased, it will make the process quick and easy. The problem? They got [...]

Fricken phishers/scammers/spammers

You all get them, they used to come from Nigeria, but now seem to be from just about anywhere. I used to just delete them and ignore it, but lately I’ve taken to sending nasty replies just for the fun of it.
Today’s example:
“I lost my parents in a ghasty road accident few months ago [...]
