Ok, this may seem like Im rambling, or Ive lost my mind(both are quite possible), but here goes.
On the sister forum, I recently sold a piece of test equipment,sent it to him on good faith, since I dont use paypal or plastic. No problem there, guy got the equipment, it checked out ok, he sent me a postal money order, everyone's happy, right?
WRONG
So I head my happy ass down to the check cashing place that I always use since I dont like banks, due to the factthat it just dont seem right for some place to charge me to make money off my money.
I sign it, hand it to the cute young lady behind the counte and she frowns, "Sorry, we cant cash that."
"Uhm, why not?" I ask ever so nicely. She then explains that only the post office will cash those, a fact that I was blissfully unaware of.
Ok, thats cool, I will just have to wait till tomorrow and go to THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE(Big letters and important sounding name which we all are supposed to trust and believe in).
---------------------fast forward to the next morning------------------
BRRRR, freezin cold and I got better things to do, but off I go to getz me cash. I walk up and wait in line while the postal workers discuss the current temperature, football scores and little jennys rash with the local yahoos.
1st teller; "Sorry, I cant cash that, maybe idiot #2 can." (I have to actually give a crap about your existance before I allocate memory space for your name)
Idiot #2; "Nope, cant do it, maybe idiot #3 can."
Idiot #3;"Nope, maybe later on I can."
All this time, the blood pressure is going up, so I make a wise decision and turn around and walk away while shaking my head and muttering "Epic fail"
My question is, if you are in the business of selling a proprietary service, like money orders only you can cash, shouldntyou have the money to cover one, especially first thing in the morning?
You, as a rational person would think so,,,,,right?
WRONG
Which leads me to the title of this post,.Well, the way I see it, people that snap are just done with the bullshit that our existance is so full of. Hell the government gets to do what they want, when they want, and to whoever they want, so Why cant I? All our lives they spew forth rules and regulations and laws, but oh hell no, they dont gotta follow them.
So, the next time some thug beats the crap outta a 80 year old grandmother or some kid gets abducted and chopped to little pieces, you now probly know the primary reason they went ballistic.
have a nice fuckin day,,,,,,,
