2 years ago i was at a store looking for a pair of earbuds that i would like for my phone and my computer. i was also looking for headphones if i had the money, which is until i came across a pair of headphones that got me interested because of it's "bass." not entirely sure what brand was it but when you used their headphones at their sample test counter, they had some loving great bass which is what i liked for my earbuds/headphones. i decided to make my choice and buy the ones that were sampled. i think they costed around $60-$100, and after i tried them on there was literally twice the lesser loving bass there was than what they showed off on the counter. it made me kinda loving disappointed and i felt ripped off because of it, i thought they were really good headphones. i decided to refund and get something else like a pair of bose earbuds. i was noticed that even the help staff noticed through the "marketing" of their bullstuff products lmao.

Once in NY, I took a photo with some cosplayers. The starfishs told me I had to pay them $10 to keep it. $10 is $150Ars for me. I deleted the photo from my phone infront of them, shoved a middle finger and walked backwards to disappear into the night.
And a few days back, my mom got a flat with the truck. I put the spare and whatnot. Told her to tell the guys at the tire shop to switch it back. They wanted $130Ars to change it. I changed it myself when she got back and bought $130Ars worth of candy.

some dude tried to issue a refund thing on ebay when i sold my phone to him and he didnt realize that the tracking number said it shipped to his house
ebay ruled in my favor because he didnt respond nor communicate at all during the transaction and he didnt have anything to prove me wrong
