Move over Hitler here comes eBay!!!

As you can see from the title I am a little angry at eBay right now. Ebay is like kids, DON'T DO IT! So I get my iPod *cheers* only to discover it's the wrong one *cries*. I contact my seller and he says "I asked my boss and he said I you can't return it, that is all I can do." WTF?!?!? You committed fraud and all you can say is that? So I guess if he was the murderer of thousands of people he'd say "I asked God and he said I can't bring everyone back to life, sorry." So that really got me angry. On top of that the 3 companies that I can go through to settle disputes screwed me as well. Ebay will only cover $200 US... Square trade will not dispute the quality of items. Pay pal said I did not have a good enough rating (which means I haven't spent enough money yet). Now I have lost all faith in eBay, the internet and people in general.
Now to the good part. Wait no there is more crap before it gets good. So finally I give up and say "To hell with it I will just keep it and use it." I plug it in, nothing happens... I plug it into a friends computer, nothing. I plug it into a Mac, diddly-freaking-do-da! So I go into Futureshop(idiot salesperson Mecca of the world). Find some idiot selling an iPod to rich gullible customers. I ask him about my iPod problem. He says if it's getting power it's fine, reinstall iTunes and it will work. Fortunately I brought my cable and iPod with me. He only pluged it into the power, not a computer so of course it worked (that wasn't my problem). So I was about to leave with out the new cable when I realized, I was just talking to a Futureshop employee. SO I turn right around and buy the freakin $45 cable. Thank god! Plug it in and it works! Praise Allah!
So now I am rockin' out to all my Tunes (all 25Gb of em). I actually shaved my collection down from about 29Gb. I still need to fill another 13Gb so if anyone has any suggestions as to what it should be drop a comment. I am so glad this is all over...

P.S. eBay is a cunt.

Canada Post = Mail Nazi

Hmmm. It's been 11 days since I won the bid on my iPod. I have not seen any sign of it so far until today. The sender said it would take to up 10 days to get here. And tonight a received a Delivery Notice. I hope it's for my iPod and not that mail order bride I accidentally signed up for... >_< If all goes well and the head of the mail Nazi (Adelle) is not there I will have my iPod. I would post a list of my music library but I am sure it would crash all your computers.

Me plus eBay makes baby Jesus cry....

I don't know what happened... Maybe it was a lack of oxygen to the brain, sleep deprivation or momentary lack of sanity... Um well yah, I bought an iPod. Damn you eBay for being so god damn enticing at 2 A.M. At least I snuck up on those unsuspecting bidders like a Scottish man on a sheep. Took the top bid with 9 sec left. Oh and I couldn't just settle for a 20Gb, no no that wasn't enough. I had to go all out and get the 40Gb. Well at least I saved $70.... So that means I am $70 less broke that I could have been. I am still pathetic. Well on a positive note I am gonna be playing with my iPod soon! ^_^

P.S. I thought girls were the impulse buyers.......
