lmao, this thread has supplied the goodsSol.. said:When I was a kid, my genesis stopped working. So, thinking that it wasn't getting power. I pulled out the power jack (with the adapter still plugged into the wall) and touched it to my tongue.
I've been sexually confused ever since.
I remember a thread about a similar situation... but with pics. It was in some spanish forums.andymcc said:Not as stupid per se, but makes you think about the living standards of some people...
A few years ago when I worked at ebgames, me and my manager had two customers approach the counter. They were somewhere in their thirties, dressed in bulky khaki-colored carhart overalls. They placed a rather battered older ps2 on the counter with one of those extended warranties we used to offer. They claimed the system started sparking and won't power on anymore. We took it back no questions asked because the old warranty covered physical damage.
After they left, my manager opened the expansion bay, he turned pale and appeared to be close to throwing up. He ran the ps2 into the backroom almost immediately. when the store was empty he took me to the backroom, strangely the ps2 was triple-bagged in trash bags.
He showed me what was wrong with it.
It seemed roaches had made the ps2 their home and chewed up pieces of the inside. There were charred remains of several roaches, in addition to a lot of living ones to. He called the district manager the next day to fumigate the store.

ashism said:Year's ago when I worked at a game shop we had a kid bring in a PSP and a bunch his UMD's.
We open up his PSP to find a UMD disc in the drive. No not the UMD disc inside of the little plastic housing, he actually ripped the disc out of the housing. The disc was badly scratched in the extraction process, and obviously the disc never read.
On top of that he had five more little UMD games ripped out of their housing to go along with it. When we told the poor kid's mom why we couldn't take the system and what her special child has done, she looked pretty pissed.
OP wins though, hands down, the end. I hope she tells a coworker or a friend the story so they can laugh at her ineptness with technology too!
Ha, that actually still occasionally happens to me.junker said:I had no idea what "demo" meant.
My cousin and I used to put Defender on the Atari 2600 in demo mode and press buttons and move the trackball around thinking we were doing something. I thought it was some kind of beginners mode that assisted you.

I used to work at Albertsons, a grocery store. We had those touch screen self checkouts that are popular in all the chains now. Well, people frequently tried to slap their cards on the touch screens rather than swiping them. And when I say frequently, I mean it; it was at the very least a weekly occurrence,and I worked there for over 2 years. I even saw one man once lay his $20 flat against the screen as though it would be absorbed.
Some people just do not understand technology.

The only stupid thing I can think of is a conversation I overheard between a very angry and argumentative mother and staff at EB. She'd bought her son a PlayStation 2, as that was what she wanted, and was frustrated that she couldn't get the likes of Mario and Zelda for the system. The staff tried to explain to her that there were different publishers related to different systems, and that to play Nintendo games you needed a Nintendo system.
She refused to back down as her son supposedly told her you could get those games for the PS2, and that her son would know far more than the staff that work at EB.
She ended up leaving in quite a huff.

Sounds like that guy a few years ago over here that tried to put GC-discs upside down in his wii because it would put the wii in BC-mode or something like that.AniHawk said:I put the Wii disc in upside-down the first time I turned it on. I thought my Wii was a defective model for about 2 minutes.
It's called denial. Your friend thought it was just a river in Egypt.EatChildren said:I also have a couple of friends who refuse to buy / play Nintendo systems because they are convinced the hardware itself automatically renders things cartoony and cannot do gritty.
Back last gen theyd even say that a port of a game would look cartoony on the GameCube when chalked up against the PS2 version.
I showed one of them Resident Evil 4 on the Cube as an example of a gaming looking pretty gritty, and he claimed it wasnt real and the system was cheating to get those graphics.
To this day I have no idea what he was trying to say.
Zwei Dinge sind unendlich, das Universum und die menschliche Dummheit, aber bei dem Universum bin ich mir noch nicht ganz sicher.

I'm confused. Who is the stupid owner in this story?PolyGone said:So I accidentally left my PS2 controller at a friend's house [...] WTF

Mario is property of Nintendo, and the PS2 is property of their biggest competitor, Sony.
Now, I'm not going so say that it's never, never going to happen. But I will say that one company is going to have to crush the other one first.
Of course, the way Sony's stock has been falling lately...

They aren't made up, but how I wish they were. Don't worry, it is 8 AM and the Mom should be leaving at 10. So if all goes well, you will have your pics in a couple hours....Zaraki_Kenpachi said:You guys shouldn't also be denied this jewel of a story.... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=14152488&postcount=191 I like how everytime EVERYONE comes has this guy for help, and it's always something radical like 5 credit cards in a disk slot of a wii, a girl trying to trick him to think she doesn't have herpes so they can have sex so he can fix her computer, or they set the gas tank on fire to try and warm up the car faster. No one cares about your crappy made up stories. At least make them enjoyable to read if you have to make them up.

And yes, that IS a stupid owner story, but it isn't VG related, so I didn't post it.
Again, if you choose not to believe me, that is all right too, after all this is the internet, so I understand.
You didn't read the the thread. If all goes well, the husband is bringing the Wii to my place. So if you are going to troll, please read the thread.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:Ya, ok... So the parents are leaving so you're going to sneak into the house to take pictures of it? Geez, how could anyone doubt you.

Wow he was old school :lolMardil said:Well I know a similar story to tell, I knew this guy from school who got a Wii on Christmas like two years ago... whose little brother (around 5) inserted three coins into the Wii. I don't know why he did it but it totally fried the motherboard. Then they just pretended it came that way and traded it in.
Everybody did that.AniHawk said:I put the Wii disc in upside-down the first time I turned it on. I thought my Wii was a defective model for about 2 minutes.
