Title: Acts of gord!
Post by: Mouth for war on Sat 05/06/2010 18:58:30
I searched for it but didn't find anything on the forums so I thought I'd share this site with all gamefreaks here :D
It's fun to read when you don't have anything to do. It's stories from the owner of a videogame store called Gamer's edge (don't know if it exists anymore) . It's more or less stories about the stupid/retarded customers that comes in every now and then. I kill some time there whenever I'm bored. Just click on "Book of annoyances, Book of wrath" etc. and start reading. Sorry if this already exist in a thread here, but as I said. I didn't find it :)

Ha that's pretty funny.

my favourite so far:

Quote
"Do you sell mod chips?"

"Go ahead, ask me what I sell."

"What do you sell?"

"I sell video games.  What a stupid question."

"What does a mod chip cost?"

"Apparently one of us isn't keeping up."

"What do you mean?"

"If I sold you a mod chip, then you would never buy a game from me ever again.  And that would be very much in opposition to my being able to run a profitable business."

"I just want one to play copied games."

"What?  Do I look like an idiot?  What the hell did you think I thought you wanted it for?"

"err…"

"Exactly.  Now look, if I were to sell you a mod chip I would lose you as a customer.  Now, if I were going to lose you as a customer I'd rather do it on a high note like setting you on fire.  At least then I would have some satisfaction of a job well done."

"I'm leaving!"

"But I haven't set you on fire yet!"

"Gamer's Edge"

"What's this about me owing you money!?!"

"Can I ask the same question too since I have no idea who you are?"

"You told your collection company I owe you $80!"

"Ok.  I told the collection company you owe me $80."

"Why did you do that?"

"My theory would be because you owe me $80."

"Fuck you!"

"I'm sorry ma'am, you do not sexually excite me."

Just to think of it, I should imagine, he never had that much customers seeing as how he got rid of most of them. That, or he had shitloads of them and only a few got mentioned. Or he's fictional.

Yeah I believe half of his stories are touched up with some fictional salt. :P

Thanks for derailing my week with this awesome website. As funny as they may be, stupid customers stories make me lose faith in humanity, which tends to give me headaches, that site was different however, these morons were humiliated, insulted, thrown out, beaten, got their credits ruined, and/or sued... all happy endings, so it was a fun read and The Book Of Apocalypse was a thrilling.

Where was I now? Oh, yeah, take a break from Curse of Monkey Island to give the new version of Dual's H2G2 remake a try.

This kind of reminds me of the Bastard Operator From Hell (http://bofh.ntk.net).  Now what would be awesome is if he taped these conversations and we could hear them.  That's probably against some privacy law though.  Oh well.
