    Holy crap, her retardation continues...

    What the hell does this mean?

    originally posted by an idiot:

    I could understand mispelling pixel as picel (since c is right next to x) but 'ck'?
    That sh** is pre-meditated.
    Is it because it sounds so close to another word, she actually types the other word? And how do you explain her typing it correctly at the end of the sentence?

    Maybe she honestly thought the customer said it pickled.

    Probably not, though. She's probably just an idiot. :rolleyes: Sorry you're stuck putting up with it.

    I've been looking up information about alcohol and how it affects (effects? I can't ever remember which is used when) you, and now I'm just getting annoyed all over again...

    Robert, please continue to update us about her antics. I'm sorry, but that's fabulously hilarious. Pickles to pixels... maybe we shouldnt be laughing (or getting irritated) with her though --does she have dyslexia or something?

    I'm annoyed because Office Max is a failure. I'm really anal about my organization of school papers (I should never have an office job; I'll spend more time organizing my work than actually working), and so I got some dividers which are outrageously expensive. Five dollars for five dividers?! And then I got five more dividers that didnt have tabs (it's a very meticulous and intricate system I've devised, I assure you), and what do I get? Crap! The tab-less dividers (which are sub-dividers of the tabbed divideres) are BIGGER than the tabbed dividers. WTF... Now I cant find what i'm looking for, and they wont let me take the dividers back now that I've opened the packaging. :mad:

    Dude, what kind of crappy Office Max do you live by? I work at Office Max, and no way in hell would we tell someone they couldn't return dividers because they'd already been opened. Smells like bullsh*t to me...

    I totally would. I mean, maybe if you bought the dividers like a year ago, and then you were like "yo, I want to return these" I could see them saying no. Otherwise, especially if you have your receipt, it's completely ridiculous for them to say you can't return them. Where in the return policy does it say the merchandise can't be opened? Nowhere, that's where, unless it's a laptop, a camera, or software. I can't think of any good reason for them to not let you return them, seriously.

    Crap, I hope I didnt throw the receipt. I just bought those dividers today. I've been through this process twelve times (school supply shopping), and it never gets boring for me. :redface: I put them in as soon as I got home and was incredibly upset about my purchase.

    I'll go back tomorrow then and talk to someone who hopefully isnt as unknowledgeable / big of a liar as whoever I talked to on the phone.

    Thank you, ma'am. You've just saved me a semester of frustration. :)

    Glad to help. If they still try to tell you no, I would call the 877 number on the bottom of the receipt. There's absolutely no reason for them to refuse to help you, it's total crap. Lol I'm so irritated at that store now, and I don't even know where it is...I hate it when stores don't do what they can to help customers...

    I hate shopping for the most part, but back to school shopping was always my favorite. It makes me really sad that I'm not going back to school cause it means no BTS shopping for me.

    But my sister is starting student teaching this year, so I decided I would just buy a bunch of supplies for her classroom instead.[/QUOTE]

    That does suck, Chimster. Sometimes family should be in the same cxategory as houseguests and fish - if they are around longer than about three days, they really start to stink.

    Dont let school interfere with your education, Gigi. ;)

    I'm actually quite excited about school, on the contrary. I'm a senior, so I'm taking several advanced classes, but they shouldnt be very hard. It was just the next level up from junior year.
    The only class I "have" to take is American Government, which is with a teacher who is really, really dull. (I had him frosh year in World History. I dont often fall asleep in class, but I fell asleep every. single. day. with him. :p Dim lights and a monotonous voice...) But the subject I feel is rather interesting.

    The key is to make it a game when it's something you're not particularly interested in. Since most of my classes are memorization / lecture based (sociology, Spanish, etc), I play a lot of Concentration with myself. It gets quite competitive. ;)

    I also try to come up with all sorts of ways to figure out how it applies to my daily life. If I'm still drawing a blank, I just pick out a cute guy and stare. :D

    I'm a little nervous--okay, a LOT nervous--because I'm going into 9th grade, and our High School is HUGE. Like, the 3rd biggest in the state, and I'm terrified I'll get lost and end up in the basement with the creepy janitors. Or get shoved into trashcans by everyone older.
