Best bit of screwing over a retail chain I ever saw was back at Best Buy. The girls working at the service desk were notorious for just accepting things without paying attention because they didn't care and/or were too busy texting.

So a guy paid for a TV in cash a few days earlier, decides he doesn't like it anymore and brings it back.

Girl tries to pick up the box, says it's heavy and pushes it to the side. Gives the guy a refund and the guy leaves.

About 2 hours later they call us to come up front to get the TV.

The box was literally filled with rocks.

You gotta have some serious cojones to try that.

Was it a Rocku TV?

Hell yeah!

So when I was interviewing for my job the last step was just one of those 'don't gently caress up and this is yours' phone calls. The guy on the other end started with how he's running the internship program this summer and I was like 'hold up... this is for a full time position.' He took a second and realized he had screwed up. Rest of the call was all good. When I got my offer letter a couple days later it said Vice President so I called HR thinking they screwed up again. Turns out my company gives us a VP title even though we're the equivalent of a Senior Consultant. Can't complain about that.

My state is a poo poo-show but I'm still going to the gym. Masks are required and I can stay away from the dumbasses who wear them below the nose. Or yell at the ones who fully chinstrap.

I don't dare breathe unless my mask is on though. And I wear a gaiter that's two layers of fabric and has enough spandex to be a real snug fit.

0 community transmission at the moment. 23 active cases but they're all in hotel quarantine.

Our whole country has had 0 acquired cases in the last 24 hours and just 8 over the last week. All contact traced and isolated.

We had a scare two weeks ago when a hotel cleaner picked up the UK strain but she isolated and got tested as soon as she felt sick. So two weeks we all wore masks etc but restrictions have almost all been lifted. We just have to sign in when we go places for tracking purposes.

Oh yeah. For as much as I loved The Who as a high schooler, seeing Roger Daltrey hoisted by his own petard and saying “well we didn’t want to tour there anyhow” about mainland Europe is funny as gently caress.

Any guesses as to when the next election in the UK could be if the Tories continue to gently caress this up so badly?

It's what, five years or until the ruling party thinks they'll win, whichever is first? Five years from the last election.
