Tales of fail, from down under
Okay so. Near my place, there's a shopping centre thing that's under renovation for more shops. For quite some time now, there've been signs up that there'll be an EB Games opening there! Well, today, I found out that they've just opened, so, naturally, I went down there to check it out. I was poking around the Wii and DS games sections, since my brother said to buy something I liked and send him the bill for my birthday, and spotted the collector's edition of the Metroid Prime Trilogy in it's extremely shiny glory.
It was $99.95.
I have never played a Metroid game for longer than 10 minutes.
... I bought it anyway.
I'm hoping it's well worth the cash, because I only had $5 left in my wallet. Afterwards, I went to the petrol station to refuel my car. I only wanted to fill up $20 worth, since I won't be driving around all that much these holidays. I get $50 from mum for the fuel since I'm so broke right now, so after I pay for the fuel, I put the change in my wallet, and when I get back in the car, I give her the money in my wallet. She checks the cash and says, "The guy gave us $5 extra change."
I look over, and sure enough, there's $35 change instead of the expected $30. So I go back to the guy at the cash register and hand him back the extra $5. The guy's (probably) manager gives me an appreciative look and a "Thanks for that!" and I cheerfully walk out and get back in my car.
I don't realise the mistake until I get home. The "extra" $5 was really the $5 I had left in my wallet after buying Metroid, and I'd given mum all the money in my wallet instead of just the change.
