so defective system returns after a long absence. he walks into the store with a ps2 in hand and a wad of wires. he wanted to trade it in. i was very weary of him, for obvious reasons so i started to look for excuses not to even try to test it.
"Does it work?"
"umm......yeah"
"Do you have a controller with it?"
"umm......no i have it at home."
"sorry if you don't have a controller with it then we can't take it."
"oh..."
he didn't look to devastated. he raised his games and i traded them in (very scratched by the way).
"I think I'm going to throw away this ps2 today."
HUH? if it was working fine and he wanted to trade it in, why would he throw it away?!? i decided to investigate.
"so why would you throw it away if it works fine? that seems a little odd."
"oh it works fine but I'm getting a new one soon. it just doesn't close right."
he point to the door on the expansion bay.
"can you throw this away for me?"
"sure."
he hands it over and i drop it on the floor. he finishes his business and leaves. me and Steve joke a bit that we may have just got a free ps2. we take a closer look at it. all the screws but 2 are missing. we can see where this i going. as we pull it apart, the ribbon connecting the system to the power button has been ripped off, a very common thing if you are not familiar with the ps2 innards.
his poor mother must not know what to do with this retard.
