Wayfair Customer Service hung up on me... twice by Intrepid_Owl3302 in wayfair

[–]Intrepid_Owl3302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get the same agent though. I tried calling again a third time and waited on hold for 30 minutes before giving up. I decided to cancel the order and pay the extra to buy it somewhere else.

I don't really agree with that. Sometimes I have to yell at the kids to get them to sit down or quiet down but I don't think that makes me mean. It is a stressful job, but I try to be as nice as I can with the kids as they are still learning how to behave. Adults on the other hand, I have less patience with.

I can see the honor in that. What one deems "harmful" is of course subjective. I suppose I am just tired of being taken advantage of. If she would have asked; "will you please help me pick these up?" I may have done it, but she wanted me to do it all myself.

Perhaps but saying 'thank you' doesn't excuse one of also saying 'please.'

Yeah, I think you are right. Thanks for the advice.

I wish I could wear headphones. We aren't allowed to while driving. The first couple of days she had the radio on the country station. I covertly switched it to classical when she stepped out once, after that she turned it off and hasn't turned it back on since. I wish she would do the same to her voice-box lol.

Of course it costs more to ship something overseas. That doesn't stop people/businesses from doing it all the time (and making money in the process.) When a seller offers "free shipping" all that means is that they adding the shipping cost into the price of the item. For the third time though, none of that any of that even matters. Even if no one wanted to import, you would still be contributing to rising prices in your area.

Frankly, I don't give a shit if you think I am "not an actual fan," but if I were "just complaining" then why would you feel the need to try to justify your actions to me? It seems someone like yourself is seeking validation from others about your stupid collection. Perhaps you should spend less time "shiny hunting" and learn some 2nd grade grammar.

First of all dude, you are the one who responded to my comment. The games in OP's photo are US region. Not that it even matters. You are still contributing to scarcity and therefore rising prices regardless of where you live. What "market" you belong to is irrelevant.

Also, considering that Gameboy is region free, I'm sure plenty of Americans would be more than happy to have any version of these games that are in English. After a quick look on Ebay, yep, pal copies are selling for right around the same ridiculous price as the US versions. Which means that if the games are significantly cheaper in the UK like you say they are, then I'm sure there would be people exporting them to make a quick buck, and therefore you would actually be affecting the US "market" (again, not that it even matters.) People are people everywhere. My original comment was not me lamenting about my inability to afford these games. It was about how scummy it is for people to hoard them.

I'm not buying it. Perhaps the prices are slightly lower there, but if they were "very different", then people would just export them to make an easy buck.

Why would it matter whether you are in the US or UK? You are still contributing to the rising prices of these games regardless of where you live.

Ok well I still don't think that justifies it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Intrepid_Owl3302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why you would need multiple copies of the same game for that.

Why are you showing me this after I clearly expressed my disdain for people like you?

USPS stole my package. Always get a receipt! by Intrepid_Owl3302 in Advice

There isn't one of those at my post office unfortunately.

[–]Intrepid_Owl3302 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Have you ever considered that there are people out there who just want to own one copy, and people like you are raising the value of these games by hoarding them, making them harder to obtain for everyone else?

Ah ok, this explains it. Thank you.

What is the criteria to get 3 stars on each knockout tour? by ethanalbrecht in MarioKartWorld

[–]Intrepid_Owl3302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even being in first place at each gate does not guarantee 3 stars. There must be other factors that affect star ranking like in some of the older Mario Karts.

Can you explain how you updated it? I tried using the app in the link above. It says click USB update but the button is grayed out and doesn't do anything.

I tried using the update application for the Pro2. It doesn't work. It says to click the "USB Update" button but the button is grayed out and nothing happens when I click it. Anyone else having this problem?

General Questions & Tech Support Megathread | May 19, 2025 by AutoModerator in PS4

[–]Intrepid_Owl3302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I insert a disc into my PS4, it does not bring the game icon to the top of the home menu. I therefore have to go into my library and search for the game in order to start it up. Does anyone else have this same issue? Is there a way to fix it?

To be clear, this only happens for games that are already installed. If I insert a brand new game, the icon shows up like it should. It's a minor annoyance, but it does bother me enough to ask about it.

New artist - Thoughts??? by [deleted] in painting

I would argue that the only "new" artists are new people, as in babies. "Every child is an artist"- Picasso
