When somebody is having a bad day here, or something really awful has happened to them, I don't know whether to thank their post or not. A thankyou, could either look like I care, or it could look like " thankyou for being miserable ".
I don't want to get the wrong message across, I just want to care for the people here. >:
I think everyone knows that a "thanks" in this thread is either (a) sympathy for what's happening, or (b) an agreement about the problem.
OT: so, I spot the COMING SOON promo case for
Sucker Punch in HMV. I go up to the desk.
ME: "Um, excuse, could you tell when Sucker Punch is coming out?"
CLERK: "Umm..." *looks at promo case* "July 27th"
ME: "... That was this Monday just gone."
The clerk's reaction (which had all the signs of an internal facepalm) was funny though, and he then checked their system, to find it had been delayed a fortnight for some reason.
Go online now, and find the same is true for the Haruhi Suzumiya movie.
EDIT
Also, on public access PC and the woman next to me doesn't seem to know how to work her computer, as she keeps banging the mouse against the desk.
...Insert Russell Howard comment about banging *her* against the desk here.
