Things I Hate

[Solidus]

That really sucks. I notice there's a pretty clean cut across the box. It looks like someone cut the box with a blade and squeezed it open at the sides to view the contents inside...

 

[Snake Plissken]

It does look like someone took a box cutter to it. I don't see any slashes into the inner material though, but that doesn't mean it wasn't cut intentionally.

 

[The Ween]

Was the figure okay?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Unfotunately no. It's the same one I posted about last time. No paint issues, but one of it's neck tubes wasn't even glued on the one side and came in the box like that. Now whether or not the impact or whatever happened to the box did that remains to be seen. And there was also a big scratch on the one of the tubes as well. World Box's QC seems nonexistent.

BBTS was really understanding this time around. I honestly wanted to send it back and just take the money else where, but they want to try and honor it a final time.

Mentioning BBTS, they still haven't shipped my Takara Optimus Primal...

 

[Snake Plissken]

I cancelled mine since I'm so up to my eyeballs in other stuff I got to pay for. Whether it for the wedding or presents. I'm going to get the regular version since the Mace wasn't even in the show and is a throwback to the original toy.

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, that sounds like a plan, and I'm sure the EX will still be around for some time. I think this is the one year that I haven't had as many things on pre-order . Optimal Optimus gets released in January, I think... I just hope they get to Megatron soon.

Sniping top dollar in the last 5 seconds for an eBay auction, only to be greeted "You may not place a bid due to regional restrictions by the seller." F----------!!

The ****ing post office. They had 1 employee working the counter during lunch with 5 people in line. The postal worker had to leave the counter 4 times to look in the back for something that she never found. One customer spent 10 ****ing minutes picking out which ******* stamps she wanted to buy while telling the lady at the counter all the different stamps she had at home.

USPS.....fml.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I usually print shipping labels from home so it'd been awhile since I'd been to the post office. I am going to do everything in my power to never go back.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I had thought all the old people that go there to buy their specialty stamps died off. I was sorely mistaken.

I think every Post Office should have a separate "old people" line where they can talk about stamps, the weather, their grandchildren, etc. for as long as they want. Some people have **** to do and don't want to spend 45 minutes of their lunch break listening to that ****.

I'm striving to never turn into a shaking bumbling old man. The worst is going to a restaurant, and you're sitting near a table of elderly and as you're swallowing a meatball you got to hear about Agnes's throat tumors...

The self service kiosk at the post office is the greatest invention ever.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I haven't had to go to the post office enough to even try using that. I've seen it, but most times the line is quick.

We don't have one here.

^^This wholeheartedly. Couple of weeks ago when I was mailing out one of items that sold, I had the pleasure of being behind this very scenario. Nice older gentleman who was just looking for conversation, but yeah, not all of us want or can spend our entire day at the Post Office. Inside my head, I was staring at him, yelling "move it along, old man!".

I've only been to our local Post Office once but I went during a busy time and was shocked that they had a concierge and a full staff behind the counter.
