RANT ON

So, I have everything I need to build my computer, except my speakers which are shipping. So I open my boxes with glee and find that everything seems to be in order, but WAIT!, I'm looking at my motherboard smelling that great "new smell" and notice there's no RAID controllers. OH NO! No no no no no, don't show me that! They sent me the wrong mobo to my greatest dismay. This after waiting a whole week, yes, 1 exact whole week to get it since my sister didn't sign for it being an idiot she is, hence the 1 day delay. Oi ve, so I call newegg, no hassle, send an RMA to me today and that's just dandy, the only compensations they give me is overnight, well winky dinky doo! It's friday and I can't ship it out before monday! Meanwhile I have to find another box, get some packaging and mail it back to them all at my expense, well great. So now I wait for monday and dread how this story will end seeing how I can't test out a d*mn thing and my 30 day return is slowly slipping away and I can't do crap about it. A teenager shouldn't have this much stress with all the other hectics in his life, I think I'm gonna cry. :( Two weeks until I can even get my hands dirty since even with the overnight shipping, it will take awhile to get to them. D*mn it I need to hit something really really bad!

RANT OFF

PS. Yeah, I know it's off topic but I'm too p*ssed to care!

chill man...it ain't the end of the world. :)
what you should be pissed about is that fact that you paid for shipping when they screwed up. Usually, they pay for it.

I'm sure I'll chill WHEN/IF my computer is up but if your realize what a teenager's point of view is from this, it's a lot more different then from an adult with a steady fulltime job. Maybe you get what I mean, maybe you don't, ah well. Maybe I can email them up ask if I can get credited? Do you think they'd go for that?

I wish that was my highest stress as a teenager, hell I had ulcers at 14, get them to cover the return shipping, sit tight for a few days and chill out.

You mean, that as you get older you learn there's so much to get freaked out and stressed about, that you begin to become complacent and not give a damn? That's happening to me, in direct proportion to my back and chest hair growth.

Same thing happened to me with Mwave, ordered an MSI K7T-pro2, got the K7T-pro. Wonderful thing about Mwave is that they e-mailed me a UPS return shipping label so I didn't have to pay a cent for shipping.

dude, wait till you get older :) I laugh at my 2 nieces: their world comes to a frigin end if their ride to the mall falls through!!! Eveeryhing is a major issue when you are in your teen years, and then you look back a few years later and smile :) Wait until your mortgage is overdue, or you get behind in your power/gas bill and they want to shut you off sometime ( because your business was slow for a couple of months) THEN you are allowed to stress out with the rest of the world !!!!!!!!!

Tell me about it. Wait till you're unsure where that next paycheck will come from to pay the basic needs of life, not just for yourself (which is manageable for me), but for your children as well.

If you want some real stress, get called down to the police station after your teenager gets arrested for driveby shooting drunken Indians with a paintball gun.

Thank you, but I'd like to blame IE for being a moron and highlighting more than I intended.
