Ok, so poker is now coming back on track. I moved up again from 50NL to 100NL and am now almost br'ed for 200nl. So i guess it has been going good but not really playing much due to school.

Have a few stories that might involve poker related stuff:

first : Douche Bag friend screwed my battery

A little over a month ago I bought me a laptop, yee-ha. My friend drove me to best-buy and I ended up getting a printer also. We went back to his place and watched some movies, at the end of the night, about 2:00 am or something, I decide to go home which is walking distance from his place (we both live on univ. campus). I take my laptop with the power cable in my book bag and leave the rest in the boxes there to pick up later.

Ok so a few days later I am there again and we watch movies again (this happens a lot, the guy has the hugest tv screen in the smallest amount of space I have ever seen) and at the end of the night I ask him to give me a ride home to take these boxes.
note: I NEVER ASK FOR RIDES, I always walk home.

The gay-ass friend refuses so I take my printer box and put it on my shoulder and go for the 20 min walk in the cold ass weather, np. So a few days later I call him up and say "hey im gonna pick up my laptop box cause I need my battery tomorrow". So hes like "what you talking about? I threw that out"

GG battery. So i got screwed over on battery, he talked to me as if it was my fault and I didn't bother to argue. After pondering over the situation a bit I realized it's both our faults and he should OFFER to help pay the 140$ that is a new battery. I think that even though you are doing someone a favor, you are responsible for the favor, so to be honest I think he should pay the full amount, but whatever. No offers... so that makes him a douchebag of a friend.

Please let me know if you think I'm out of line in my train of thought.

second: Pokerstars GG's me on monitor

I ordered 20" monitor over a month ago. It arrived 2 weeks later, broken. I reported and got word that the monitor would be picked up.

That seems cut and clear, but it isn't, PS support was a mess in letting me know what was going on. One day I randomly get a phone call from UPS saying they coming to pick up a package. I obviously figure this to be for monitor, but wtf, why didn't PS emmail me about this? So, I am on my way to class and realize that I don't know what address to forward this thing to, or is it UPS that fills this crap out? I don't know...

Finally I get a call from the company that does this work for PS and a british guy talks to me in this tone of voice thats basically saying "u moron" and tells me UPS will try two more times.

Anyways, more then three weeks later, it is still in my room!

I don't like to talk badly about PS but this situation is messed up. It's now to the point where I am asking them for the address so I can send it out. PS really needs to be more clear in these situations.

well I'll stop here.

hmm imo it would have been nice of him to give u a lift but its not really harsh of him to not give you a lift either.

if uve left the box at his house for like a week++ and not said anything u cant rly expect him to keep it in his house forever if u didnt say "Hey dont throw that box out cos im gunna pick it up soon kk?". If u did say this hes a dick.

about the monitor thats just retarded customer service and not ur fault at all. argue it a load with PS.
