I am not really new here, but I am more of a lurker than a poster, as is evident by my post count, but this one was TOO good to pass up....enjoy!
The story goes like this.....
Last summer he bought a small grill to cook outside on. He put the small grill on his picnic table. I guess, according to him, it did not work very well, and the grill did not cook his hamburger really at all.
Well, instead of putting the fire out when he was done with it (it was a small, not very hot fire, hence the uncooked burger), he left it, thinking it would put itself out. About 3 hours later, he smells wood burning.
Yep...the picnic table is on fire. It was small, and he manages to get it out fine. He then goes back to the store and lets them know about it, apparently they immediately pull the grill off their shelves.
He then asked them "What about my picnic table?". They say they will have to talk to their main office. 3 weeks pass, he hears nothing, so he goes back, they remember the situation, and again tell him someone from the mail office will be in contact.
3 more weeks pass, he decides to email them and tell them he is not shopping at their store again until he hears from someone.
He hears nothing, and forgets about it.
Now that spring is here, he goes out back and sees the table, remembers the situation, and goes back to the store and utters the stupid award winning line:
"How does it feel? I have not shopped here in almost a year because you guys haven't done anything about my picnic table. I bet that loss is hurting you more than if you just compensated me."
There SO many things wrong with that line, but I will just take the most obvious.....NO THEY WERE NOT HURT BY YOU, ONE PERSON, NOT SHOPPING AT THEIR STORE. Get over yourself.
Apparently they scramble and offer him 1/2 the value of the table, which he told them was $300, so they give him $150.
I wanted to cry.

And this is why there are warning lables on everything!!!!!!!!! I dont know about you all but I was taught at a young age fire=hot do not walk away from it unless its completely out. I really hope they dont pay for a table that he forgot about for a year!
