Awkward Retail Confrontation #538

I’ve been bit by the HDTV bug. Ever since I got a Wii, I’ve just been struck with the desire to get a fucking awesome TV. Lately I’ve been compulsively going to this bargain website to see if the HDTV I’m in the market for has been listed at a great price. Last Sunday, they mentioned a very affordable deal at Circuit City, so I called my local CC to confirm.

Hi, do you have the Samsung 3242 in stock?

Yes, yes we do. The total would come to $823.

Oh, really? Because this website I go to has a posting saying it’s $720 with in-store pick-up.

No, the cheapest I’m seeing it for is $823. Hmm... Could you tell me the name of the website you saw it at?

“Um, I’d rather not do that.”

(Okay, I didn’t actually say that, but I thought it. Here’s why.)

“Cheapstingybargains.com.”

“Excuse me, cheap—?“

“CHEAP STINGY BARGAINS DOT COM.”

“OK, Thank you, sir. No, I’m sorry, $823 is the lowest we have it listed for.”

“Thank you. Goodbye.”

So, that was really embarrassing. Next time, I just spell it out.

Happy Birthday, MLK

Today I was sitting comfy as a clam on the 7 train. The doors opened and I noticed an elderly African American lady hobble in. I scanned the rest of the train and noticed that all the seats were taken.

Of course, like everyone else, I remained seated. However, I think I speak for my fellow passengers when I say that my actions (or lack thereof) were not governed by racist laws or indoctrination, but by the general assholishness of my individual character.

And that's the society I want to live in.

Today

Anonymous coworker #1 asked anonymous co-worker #2 what is on his bucket list.

In other news, I think I might be dead. More on this later.
