You could babble to yourself and scream randomly while repeatedly stabbing him, finishing it off with a slow and messy decapitation. IDK, just thinking out loud :)

take the phone number over to 4chan and post in the /b/ section. they have crazy mongrel internet people that will literally spend hours and hours coming up with Fancy and New? ways to terrorize the person that took your money.

but you might want to lay off the high school thug language or they'll turn on you. just sayin'.

Very true. They don't like suburbian gangsters and will make your life hell if he went in there acting like he does here.

All he has to do is say that it was working when he gave it to you and that you somehow broke it. What's your defense?

"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"

Your only options are to take matters into your own hands, which it appears you are incapable of (or unwilling), since your first inclination was to post about it here, OR write it off as a $140 loss and move on.

Vengeance doesn't have to come in the form of a beatdown. You are allowed to get creative with it, but your window of opportunity is slipping away.

Meet up with him on the bus, then behead him. Afterwards just plead insanity then everything else should just work itself out.

Fighting? That's immature and you'll go to jail. Your life ruined over 300 bucks

I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree that fighting is "immature" in this case. It's a natural response to severe injustice. I'm not saying it's the answer anytime you're wronged, but this guy deserves an asswhooping, plain and simple. I'm not saying I advocate it or would resort to those measures if I were in the same situation, but calling it an "immature" response is... inaccurate, in my opinion.

Yes, we live in a civilized society... but there's nothing civilized about ripping someone off like that, and uncivilized actions lead to uncivilized consequences. A weak "eye for an eye" argument, perhaps... but I don't care :) .


Where do you draw the line between that and beating your girlfriend for eating too much of your ice cream cone?

Gee, I don't know, but I'm sure it lies somewhere in the infinite vastness that lies between the two :roll: .
