So I busted a local preacher yesterday....
Yeah, ironically, like two days before this thing my mom caled me and tried to get me to start going to church. And I was like "no way, my relationship with God dramatically improves when other people aren't invovled." For this exact reason. Anyway, since this isn't really R/P, just an interesting story, I might as well share it with you guys.
So this guy comes up to my buddy Alex at work while he's running a ergister, and he wants to return a $30 ink cartridge, right? Well, he doesn't have a reciept, so Alex comes to me to ask what I should do and hands me the cartridge. I look at the box and the first thing I notice is that the cartridge box is long past the expiration date. Nice. Then I lok a bit closer and notice a very fine line of scotch tape on the side of the cartridge. i roll my eyes and slit it open with my knife. inside, the box that hods the cartridge itself also has tape on it, a little bit sloppier, but it's there. So I slit it open. And there, inside, is a cartridge that at first glance looks brand new. So I look at the bottom and there's the cartridge sticker. Covered in ink. I roll my eyes again. Seems that this guy had bought a cartridge to replace his old one, put it in the amchine, took out the old one, had tried to clean it up with alcohol on the printhead, and had carefully taken the sticker off of his new cartridge and reapplied it to his old one, not realizing the printhead had already been broken in and that ink would leak out later. He then tried to reseal it it in the box, which was ironically expired, as well as old packaging, and tried to return his old cartridge. Which was ridiculous. The guy did such a horrible job it wasn't even funny. If you're going to pull crap like that, at least use the box from your NEW cartridge, that way it doesn't have an expiration date from 2 years ago on it, and at least matches the modern packaging of that particular cartridge. And if you're going to retape the box, don't put the scotch tape where people can frikking see it. So I was like "no...frikking...way...are...we...returning...this ."
Alex goes back and tells the guy, who gets upset because he's "a preacher", which is obvious enough since he's in a black suit with a white collar and storms out with his used expired cartridge claiming he's done shopping with us.
We laughed. And mentioned that Circuit City was right next door, he might try returning it there. Which aparently made him even madder.

Nice. Yeah kinda is annoying that people think their social status should exempt them from cheating. "I wouldn't do that, I'm a Preacher/Boy Scout/Mod for PBR!"
