there really aren’t that many of them. if you block a couple whenever you see em, you’ll soon run into an account you’ve already blocked before, and realize they’re all just reblogging eachother endlessly. it’s very insular because no one else wants to interact with them lol
they’re basically all british or american christians lmfao why the fuck would you care what they think
Why is dealing with Apple such a fucking chore all the time?
“This is my boss’s old computer. She was leasing it. She has a new computer. I am returning this one.”
“Okay, you want me to send it in for recycle.”
“If that is what you do with old leased computers, then yes.”
He fusses around with the computer
“Did you do data migration?”
“Yes. We just want to send this one back.”
“And she wants to lease a new computer?”
“We are already leasing a new computer. We want to send this one back.”
“Hold on let me get the manager.”
He takes the computer with him.
He comes back.
“It looks like this is the old one.”
“…yes.”
“We need the new one if you want to start a lease.”
“We have the new one. This is the old one. I just want to send it back.”
“Okay we just need her email to check the leasing information.”
I put in the email.
“It looks like that email is not associated with her apple id. Do you have a receipt of the data migration?”
“They told me when I did the data migration that I just needed to bring the computer and nothing else.”
“We need something to link the account to the new one.”
“Its already linked. We just need to take th ed old one back.”
“Do you have anything that might link the apple id?”
I log into her computer and pull up the email regarding her leasing agreement.
“This looks like a business account.”
“Yes. It is my boss’s computer.”
“I’ll need to get the business accounts manager before we go forward.”
He goes and gets him. I’m starting to become skeptical of the phrase ‘genius bar.’
Business manager gets here. Tries to soften the process with a joke, but it feels empty.
“I see you’re trying to turn in an old computer.”
“This is my boss’s computer. She was leasing this computer. She is now leasing a newer model. We would like to send this one back.”
“Do you have the serial number of the new computer?”
“I was not told that I needed that.”
“Can you call her and get it?”
“Shes out of town and doesnt have her computer with her.”
“Let me get the person in charge of your account.”
He goes to get him.
There are now three men staring at my boss’s computer.
“Do you have the apple id?”
“No.”
“Login and I’ll show you how to find the apple id.”
I log in.
He points.
“This is where youd find your serial number.”
“For this computer. Yes. But I need it for the new computer.”
“This is the old computer?”
“This is the old computer.”
“Do you have the serial number for the new computer?”
Now very frustrated. Now questioning how smart the technology actually is.
“No.”
“We need the new computer serial number.”
“I dont have that. My boss isnt near her computer to find it. So I cant do this until she gets back from Cleveland?”
“Well maybe she can tell it to you.”
“Shes in Cleveland. Her computer is in Reynoldsburg. She cannot give it to me. I’m just gonna leave now.”
I went to the apple store today with the intent to return it because I now have the serial number and the appropriate email and phone number and I’m prepared to tell whatever lies I need to tell to get it out of my hands.
I speak to a manager.
“This was a lease with our business plan?”
“Yes. This lease ended. Its wrapped up. The new lease has started with the new computer, its wrapped up. I just need to hand it in.”
“Let me get a business associate.”
There are no business associates today. He returns.
“We cant take it back for you. Your leases with CIT. They can send you a free shipping box to send it back. I dont know why they said they could take it back and I dont know why they asked for the serial number.”
So after that, I still have the computer.
I’m about to scream so loud my pronouns are gonna be ban/shee.
Listen that sounds all ridiculously exhausting and I feel your pain but the sentence > I’m about to scream so loud my pronouns are gonna be ban/shee.
is a *work of art* and also hilarious enough I should not have read it with my mouth full of noodles.
today i talked to a 14 year old who told me they saw “puss and boots” recently and loved it, and they said they had to go see it because they love “shrek.” they were like, “that movie is just iconic.” and i was like, “oh yeah, haha, it came out when i was a kid, so i know what you mean.” and they were like “o_O what?! shrek came out when you were a KID?” and i was like “yeah, i know it’s like retro for teens to like it now, right?” and they were like… “wait, what?!?! SHREK? that movie came out when you were a KID? and you saw it when it came out????? what was that even like!!!” and i was just like “haha well you know it was… well. it was. it was definitely a movie a lot of us watched at that time. shrek.” and the look on their face was like i had just told them i saw the beatles in concert in 1964
they dont know what it was like growing up in the time of the shrek marketing campaigns
