A few stories about my housemate.
Background: Nice guy, but a bit of a know-it-all, seen-it-all, done-it-all.
1. My housemate went out and bought a new mouse for his computer today. When he walks in, I see that he's bought the exact same model that he's had for the last 8 months.
First thing out of his mouth is: "I'll give it a month, then pack the old one in and take it back."
Me:
I'm going to find the receipt and package as soon as he's back at work on tuesday and throw them out.
2. A couple of months ago, we decide that it's easier one night to go get maccas instead of cooking. So he goes up, through the drive-thru, and comes home.
He opens his bag, to find the fries are missing. Not a big deal, right?
You wouldn't think so with him. It was like they'd taken the holy grail from him. I couldn't believe the ranting and raving over a $2 container of potato strips.
He eventually calls them, to "inform" them of the oversight. The manager does the right thing, and tells him that if he goes up there (less than 2 minutes drive there and back), he will happily give him the chips. Myself, and I reckon everyone else here, would just say "Cool, see you in a couple". Not him.
He wanted them delivered! I ended up telling to him to shove his attitude where the sun don't shine, go up there and get his chips. Also to apologise for his ranting on the phone. I *think* he's got the point by now.
3. His tone of voice on the phone. Oh. My. God. If he called me with the tone he uses to call places, I'd be telling him I couldn't help him and hang.
He uses the most arrogant tone of voice for even a simple question, sort of along the lines of "I'm so good, and you know jackshit" tone. To people he knows, he's usually pretty good, just on the phone he makes me want to hit him.
Well, that's my rant over and done with. Hope I haven't bored you too much.
