The store I'm fed up with is Ikea. If its something you use alot it breaks but if its something you don't use often its great. Anybody else notice the same thing with ikea or other stores?

I like to put my hair up in chopsticks from Claires and I swear I break at least one pair a month. I need to go on ebay and buy some metal ones.

Why would anything you don't use often break?

(not talking about electronics/cars here)

I mean like book cases dont break from ikea but beds, couches, dressers and desks all break really easily if they are from ikea.

Dollar stores have some pretty cheap crap.

But big, no frills box stores like Walmart are notorious for their cheap crap, which is why I don't shop there. That and they pervert all that is righteous in this world.

Ultimately you get what you pay for.

His mom and dad prolly have that, he better get a brain update as well. Buying a mini bike and then directly crashing it into the garage door...

Anything from CIBC. Broken from day one.
Ukrainian_Canuck
Canadian Tire

Pretty much everything there is 1 time use.

My friends joke around and call it Ukrainian Tire to piss me off haha
Vintage_Canuck
Just about anything Sony made in the last few years. I've never seen so many cables, buttons and random pieces of hardware get that weak, worn or loose.

Everytime I buy a hoodie, I wear it once and it looks great.

Then I wash it and it shrinks. Then my belly hangs out every time I touch my face.

I'm fed up with grocery stores. Jeeves, why is it that they seem to sell everything?! What about other stores? Ham? What about your local deli shop? Damn them. They've stolen the market from the small, neighborhood shops!

Edit: What the hell! This new spell checker is replacing all of my words with nonsense! J-e-e-z-e-s became "Jeeves", and "H-m-m" became "Ham". dry.gif

iam sick of apple products

ive gone throuugh 5 ipods, not one lasted me more than 2 months..
the apple software, for some reason totally messed up my computer, i had to send it in to get repaired, it just never got to to the main screen.

i prefer creative now, i had the same creative mp3 for 15 months! after for some reason the sound wasnt coming out right (Not such a big problem) but the awesome creative ppl gave me a brand new mp3, newer model of my old one, free of charge, plus a bunch of accessories.. Creative=awesome

**** apple
