Some crazy guy at Best Buy
My left mouse button failed hard last night, after much disassembly and attempting to fix the problem I just said "f- it" and went to Best Buy to get a new one. As I was looking over the fancy new laser mice I heard some commotion so I glanced over at the computer service desk area.
A fat balding man in a leather jacket was standing at the counter across from two teenaged employees, yelling and pointing:
"I asked you F-ING A-HOLES to put in a CD-ROM drive and you reformatted the whole f-ing hard disk. I may not know much about computers, but I know you don't have to reformat the hard disk to put in a CD-ROM drive! I had 8 months of work in there, and all my programs, my Nortons! Someone here owes me some f-in' money. I want to talk to your manager right ____ing now."
One of the employees was trying to calm him down by saying they outsource the job to HP, but this only made the fat man angrier. The female one said "sir, please watch your language" and that fueled his fire even more. "F- YOU, WATCH YOUR F-ING LANGUAGE," he yelled.
A crowd slowly began to form, and people poked their heads out of various aisles to see what the fuss was about. This guy's face was turning red and he was shooting out little bits of spit onto the counter as he frothed and ranted. Something epic was about to happen.
I couldn't hold back any longer. I lol'd. I lol'd f-ing hard, and the guy heard me. He whirled around, made a growling noise and started running at me. Just as he raised his fist to take a swing at me, the entire crowd stepped forward and did the mash. They did the monster mash. The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash. We did the mash. it caught on in a flash. We did the mash. We did the monster mash.

Great story and you tell it so well. Its always fun to witness crazy people in public settings.
I once witnessed a crazy guy having car trouble. THe man's car appeared to break down in the middle of the street in a residential neighborhood. I went to a house to try to get help, but to no avail. He go so ____ed off about the situation. He retrieved a metal bat from the trunk and proceeded to destroy the car. The whole time he was cursing at the people in the house he approached earlier. Once he wore himself out using the bat, he went for the gas can and his zippo. The police showed up just in time as he was pouring the gas all over the inside and outside of the car.

guys in smaller mom/pop computer stores are usually more knowledgeable than the idiots at Best Buy.
dataloss is certainly enough to make anyone go crazy, specially if you have irreplaceable files.
don't trust the minimum wage earning idiot in a blue shirt, take it to someone who knows what they're doing.

1. you're an idiot. some little stores know what they are doing. some are just inbred rednecks...
2. you can't say everyone is a idiot. and who are you to say that everyone that works there needs to be knowledgeable about everything in the store.... that's why there are different departments. i do cell phones and cameras... don't come to me asking me about laundry machines... i have no clue... it's your dumb ___ fault for coming to me... i've been in the cell phone business for 3 years.... i'm just gonna go find you a appliance specialist.
2.5. don't go to the little 17 years olds that float around. they are just doing their job. why don't you find a specialist or their supervisor. not the manager.
3. blue shirt idiots? if someone messed up the computer... it was geek squad. white shirt...
4. minimum wage? you'd be surprised.... we make more than what you think. don't be jealous because you make 50 cents over minimum wage.
the average consumer is a cheap idiot. you're a flipping moron. asshat. ignorant bastard... you're 32... don't you have anything better to do? i thought it was passed your bed time.

As much as it sucks, it's that guys fault for not specifying to back up his files, or for not backing up his own stuff to begin with. I doubt he even only wanted a CD-ROM drive, he was probably upset about being charged for something, so he figured _____ing and moaning would disrupt business, resulting in a discount or something. It happens often at car dealerships, you should watch out for that DaveDave if you plan on working at a dealership
