    Fucking EBAY!
    Ebay fucking sucks! I bought a wireless card a few weeks ago off ebay, and a few days ago got the router from someone on hardforums. My card is defective. I called SMC (Router) and had to speak with some habib in tech support. He was some dude from India, and he couldn't speak english good. He said it was the card that is faulty. So I call long distance to California to Encore (Card) and speak with yet another foreigner, some chinese dude. This guy can be understood a bit better, but not that much better. He said the card was defective. Today I got a CD RW drive off ebay. I hook it up turn on the computer, it lights up, I wait for the computer to boot, it boots I put a blank CD in to test it, the fucking thing can't recognize there is a CD in the drive! Then it makes this really loud grinding noise. But the strangest thing is that I bought a HP drive, and my computer recognizes it as a Phillips. What the fuck! Now I have to call the store, which sells on Ebay, and hopefully I don't get Apu on the line again. I bought two more things off ebay, A DVD ROM Drive, and a Hard Drive and hopefully those aren't defective. This is the last time for computer parts off the internet. Next month when i get my check I am going to Circuit City or CompUSA instead.

    I am also tired of foreigners coming to America and taking all the jobs that they have to talk to people; Tech support, customer service, telemarketing etc. It pisses me off when I try to get help with my wireless card I have to speak to Apu who can't speak english. He shouldn't be working tech support, he should be filling my slurpee cup! He should be serving me a roller dog! Why do people hire people for phone jobs, when they can't even speak our language? It is ludicrious! It is all the time too, whenever I call AOL, or adelphia (Cable company) or microsoft, or SMC, or encore. I am, tired of it. And I am sure many of you people are tired of it as well. Then you are thinking, man I really want to speak to an american instead, but you can't really say it, because it may be deemed racist or something. Okay you are coming to a predominately english speaking country to live. You have a really thick and annoying accent, so thick you cannot understand them, why the hell do you apply, and get the phone jobs? You are getting paid to talk to english speaking people, yet you can't speak englsih. maybe you should stick to pumping my gas, or folding my laundry okay...
