I took my old Sony-in-Radio-Shack-drag CD player to Radio Shack for repair. First, the lose it for four weeks. Then, as they're about to have to give me a replacement, it reappears at the repair centre. Two weeks later, they tell me they can't fix it because they don't have the parts, and I need to come pick it up. I picked it up, and it's been SMASHED ALL TO HELL. Seriously, it looks like somebody hit it with a hammer a couple of times and then made a whole bunch of grinder marks on the case. And along the way, took a prybar to the rear panel and cracked the plastic in two places on the front panel.

There's "nothing they can do" since I can't prove it wasn't in this condition when I dropped it off.

Yes, I will be taking this up the Radio Shack chain, and then to the BBB and the state Atty. General's office, why do you ask?

Peeve2: Posting to personal instead of community by accident. Gir. AntiPeeve: Posting it twice and editing this one! Muah-ha-ha!

Peeve3: Admitting to owning anything from Radio Shack except for, oh, cables or something.

Peeve4: Radio Shack. FUCKING Radio shack. Gir.

Peeve5: Anyone who says that's a duplicate peeve. Fuck off.
