I went and did the shopping today - but before hand I went to HMV (music store) and bought 2 DVDs as part of a '2 under $50' deal. So I have had my eye on the X-men movie and B5's In the Beginning/The Gathering (redone version) for ages - we only JUST got a DVD player.
So I had to be home by 2:30 and the silly bitch at the checkout took FOREVER. So I rushed through the packed shopping centre and down to the car - where I basically threw the groceries into the boot. Put the Trolley next to a piller and got in and rushed home (for a delivery - which of course was late). I got home and straight away I went Oh NO! The DVDs!! They were hanging on the bar on the kid's seat on the trolley. I had forgotten to put the HMV bag into the car. FUCK! I rang the shopping centre - they rang back said noone from trolley pick-up, customer service or security had had them handed in or picked up.
BUGGER
As soon as the delivery arrived I raced back over - got exactly the same spot (believe it or not) and went searching (in vain) for the bag with the DVDs.
No were to be found - I re-asked the trolley collection and several stores near where I parked. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Ziltch. FUCK!
Complete bastards. Where is the Christmas spirit? How hard is it to hand stuff in - would they feel guilty? What if (and it most probably could be) Christmas presents!?!
Urrgh!
The thing that gets me is - noone LIKEs Babylon 5, noone WATCHES Babylon 5 - noone would know what it was and not a great deal of people would have DVD players to watch them on.
GAH!
So that's $50 down the plug-hole. I might as well have put the cash in the middle of the carpark and drove away. (THAT would probably have been handed in) GRR.
Oh well.
Thanks for letting me rant/bitch.

You might be surprised how many people like B5, Andrew. I went over to Future Shop a couple of days after the s1 DVD set came out, and they were sold out. I didn't think there were too many people who liked B5 in this province, let alone SJ.

Imagine if I left my soon to be new laptop in the mall. That's $1249 plus taxes down the drain.
