Warranties can kiss my ass.
I am so sick of today's consumer mentality.
"Here's some expensive tech thingamajig, the latest in all teh awesomes, only $499!"
"Oh cool, I's a gonna gets that please"
"Oh but the glass screen on it almost always breaks (or some other generic flaw inserted here) so you definately want to get a warranty. That way when it breaks we will fix it for you, but only if it was an accident."
"...."
"So a three year plan for an extra $90?"
"Ok, so this highest tech state of the art gadget to redefine all gadgets that I am buying. It has a serious design flaw that could've easily been fixed during development?"
"Well yes, that's why you want the warranty."
"So you are telling me that thing will DEFINATELY break on me. You, the store, knowing this, are telling me that if it breaks, you will not fix it."
"That's what the warranty is for"
"So you are selling me an already DEFECTIVE product, then expecting me to pay EXTRA so you can fix it WHEN it breaks?"
"Well, only if the damage was accidental"
*tweak
Seriously, we used to live in a time when if you bought something, and it broke, you could return it and people actually valued your business so they would fix it for you or get you a new one. Nowadays, we as consumers pay extra for crap that we know has a high failure rate and when it does break, we go and buy a new one?
WHAT?!
But this will never change because people are willing to put up with this IDIOCY!
ARGH!
I'm tired of the actions of the majority of idiots out there determining the status of the WORLD
