I hate salespeople. You know, the kinds who put you in high pressure situations to make a decision within the next short timeframe or lose out on the deal? Those people can fuck right off.
So, a friend and I have both bought Mario Kart 8, and have thus been able to choose a free game to go with it. We have now received the download codes, however, my friend has a problem.
The codes expire before next month, and he doesn't have enough space to download his free game at the moment.

For most telemarkters, I try not to get too angry at them because I know many have to work on sales commission in stressful conditions, like a lot of my friends have had to, so I just try to be polite about declining. That's really shitty though.
@OrigamiRobot Mortgage brokers are my first choice; they work off of mortgage company commissions, and are in my best interest to get the lowest interest rate possible.
Next time I buy a car, I'm going to do all my research beforehand, go into the dealership, and say "I want to buy X car for $Y. Make it happen or I'm leaving."
I have a car now that I hate driving (my wife's old car; she gets the new one since that one has the baby seat), so I want to sell it and get a different used car for commuting.
I may head to the Space Pirate Homeworld first, if only because you can't proceed past a certain point without backtracking to a different planet and/or Valhalla.
@StrixVaria It's handy! Though with snow, you'll probably still want to take the car. I hate biking in the snow, personally. x_x But I'm not used to it, unlike most Dutchies.
@StrixVaria Depends on what you get used to! Jochem's gotten into road biking, has a special bike for it and clothes and stuff, and those saddles are super hard. When he goes back to his regular bike, it feels too soft and squishy for him.
I never want to bike anywhere because I hate bikers. More specifically, I hate that there isn't really a good way for them to get where they want to go without being in my way.
@fredley That would be too narrow to be legal here, I believe, because they have to be wide enough for what they call "bakfietsen" here, which are bikes with little cargo carriers, for putting stuff like children in.
@KevinvanderVelden I have asthma that, now that I'm older, is mostly exacerbated by physical exercise in cold weather, so biking in winter is mostly out of the question for me here anyway. x_x I'd rather walk.
@StrixVaria I had to transfer through Heathrow. I was there a few hours before my flight and apparently they have no idea where your gate's going to be at that point, so I had to just wait "somewhere".
Plus that was back when Jochem and I were still long distance, so I'd just flown out of Amsterdam, then had to wait miserably in Heathrow for hours after crying a whole bunch and all I could think about was that I was only a 45 minute flight away from him and uggggggh

Woo, first time making coffee in my french press and it is so delicioussssssss
@StrixVaria Reminds me of my flight off Budapest a few weeks ago. Gate announced very late, then you have to stand there, then move to a provisional gate in some metal storehouse where you again wait half an hour or so, then move on foot through provisional walkways to the other side of the airport ...
@Arperum You also have, at most 20 rolls. So you should be walking away with roughly two legendaries if you A) roll armor stuff, and B) have max shards.
Then a bunch of American tourists came around to where I was sitting trying to nap and they were just so loud and obnoxious and I just wanted them to go away so I could cry in peace and blegh. So my Heathrow experience was not that fun.
(I have a shitton of rift fragment because of doing bounties while leveling and then being stupid and losing the freshly lvl 70 demon hunter. ANd then leveling one more character.
@FAE My wife and I took a small bus tour of Versailles with a couple from NY. While in the Hall of Mirrors, our tour guide was talking, while some other American kept butting in between us to take pictures. The lady from NY positively ripped him apart; telling him that he was the reason American tourists had a bad reputation. It was fun.
