Situation: Geek Squad fucks coming over Monday morning to install ginormous TV.
Possible mitigating factors: It is an early anniversary gift from the wife.
Possible flashpoint: They are charging 400 bucks to install the fucker. I'll be home.
Take you bets.
For the Euros: http://www.geeksquad.com/
Jesus. If they're anything like the website you'll be annoyed before you get home :console: :(
I'm betting on the 15 minute mark. Somehow, their annoying vehicles will not annoy you as much, but the second they start talking you will be driven by your inner rage at their uselessness.

Unless you aren't able to transport the TV yourself the Geek Squad is a waste. Just glorified delivery boys. You should be able to figure out how to set it up yourself.
On second thought, how ginormous are we talking? You might need the Geeks for coolie labor.
I once was in the mad house with one of those fellows. Seemed nice enough. A little funny in the head though.

Are you an Oregonian too?
I always get pissed off at the people who come to work on my house. Cable guy, phone guy, meter reader, they all seem to be idiots.

You will be able to see every buttock zit and vaginal wart of porn actresses on that one. Sometimes bigger is NOT better.
Still waiting for the invitation to the housewarming. :angry:

In the room it is going in, no porn. Opening 25 minutes of
Saving Private Ryan, yes.
Voted straight away.
If "Chuck" is anything to go by, and since it's televised I am 100% certain that it is, those guys are untolerable.

I'm not. Just because some people at their stores are unscrupulous dicks doesn't mean they all are. Individual employees can be very helpful/honest.
You bought at 73 '' tv at Best Buy? You could have atleast help a local electronic shop at that size.

Outside the major cities, not so much. One of the whitest states in the Union. A lot of beaners here to pick the crops though.

I was in a good mood, until I was awoken at 7am by their automated thingy telling me they would show up between 8am and 11am.
Lovely.
See? I called it.
Done and installed. Only got annoyed about an hour in, when one of the scutmonkeys kept scoping out where things was located in the house. I will place the house on yellow alert for awhile, in case him or his buddies wants to visit to rob the place.
Also at the end, when they started carrying the old TV out to their van. Yeah, like they are getting a freebie 46" LG TV. Recycle my ass, you cunts.
As for the TV quality, God exists and he designs TV's for Mitsubishi.

I need a blu-ray player now.
So, now you have a tv three times the diagonal size of my computer screen? I wouldn't know where to put that thing in my 40 square meter apartment. :lol:
I adore the 101" tv they have at a local electronics store here, though. :wub:
He has a TV that is 3 times + 13 inches the size my LCD TV, yeah it's barely worth more.

There was a ring going on in Circuit City's car stereo department like that. The employees were doing the installs and then going to the houses later and jacking the stereos. One day the gang unit was there hauling off half their staff.

Most definitely.
Once upon a time, a poster named Monkeybutt seemed cool. Had the same twisted sense of humor, same age, same childhood experiences. I figured, "hey, maybe this dude is cool."
Then, the changes.
First, there was the broken leg. No explanations, no reasons. Just a broken leg. Figured, "hell, it happens."
Then the disappearance. And voila, married on the return. Figured, "hell, guess he fell in love. It happens."
The the facts start coming out over the years...the purchased submissive childbride, primo ass many years his junior...the $1,200,000 house...the Dodge...the 34,575,768" TV...and the cost? Just required to pop out some kids, post-haste. And his soul.
He's not Monkeybutt. He's not Ed Anger. He's a big-time moneymaker, only with life giftwrapped at the altar.
