So today was supposed to be a great day. Go pickup 2 games for a reasonable price. The divine string of events leading me to the games should've been my cue to go home. Any of you guys have had a similar frustrating experience??
1) Rush through the day job with the hopes of leaving early to pick up games, only to find something happens, keeps you later, and you wind up leaving late on a time crunch cause the seller does'nt want to hang around for long and wait.
2) 1 hour drive turns into 2. Traffic just happens to pop up in every spot imaginable. Seller keeps calling periodically "WHERE ARE YOU ARE YOU CLOSE??" After passing 6 accidents, you realize that all the police lights you just approached were for fender benders without the bending, infact, even without any damage. What a waste!
3) In the excitement, you realize that your fuel warning light comes on (diesel). OOPS you were so late you forgot to fill up the truck!!!! Seller calls again"HOW CLOSE ARE YOU??" You really hope if anything you make it there and not run out of fuel on the side of the highway, after all, you are picking up sweet games and you dont want to piss of the seller and have him sell to someone else!
4) You finally reach your destination after the worlds most anger anxiety driven ride, only to find out that your supposedly "original" games are nothing short of abused roaches that would'nt survive the ride home, non originals, and ready for the graveyard. Poor lighting won't let you check out the game in detail in a very cramped storage unit. Ironically seller says its no big deal. Infact I told him No Deal after all that. DAMN!
It was a nice 4hr waste in total. Anyone else got disappointing war stories??
