you know youve truly entered adulthood when the highlight of your day is getting your vacuum cleaner fixed
-TRANSCRIPT-
Last night, I didn’t get any sleep because I was busy cleaning my apartment
“ugh” “so tired…” “alright, that’s all I can do before vacuuming so I can clean the rest-”
HOWEVER…
“the vacuum’s plug is-” “BROKEN?!”
I didn’t want to pay a fortune by going to an appliance store, so I had to go find fixing companies.
“ughh”
Of course, these were out of town and far.
“why does this always happen to me.”
Next set
“eh?” “there’s a bus deviation because of this French movie festival in town?” ”is this a joke?!”
after some time spent walking in the rain, I got there, but…They weren’t.
no response.
I called other fixing companies, but…they were all gone too. Summer vacations, man.
“at least I didn’t have to visit them to check if they were here…” “…”
Some time later:
So, the appliance store.
the one place I didn’t want to visit.
“people here try to scam you out of a lot of money” “for shit you don’t really need.”
“hi, how can I help you?”
“plug broke.”
Next set
“mh…”
“we’re gonna have to replace the whole cable.”
AS EXPECTED.
“isn’t there a way to just…replace the plug?”
“I’m…not allowed.” “I CAN sell you the plug, but not replace it for you.”
“…”
“…it’s so we can scam you out of a lot of money” “for stuff you don’t need.”
AT LEAST HE’S HONEST!
*Sigh*
“I’ll…take the plug.” “if-” “if you would be so kind as to explain how to replace-”
“oh, of course!”
Next set
“hey…” “I’ll even show you.”
“…huh?”
“Well, first you cut the cable…”
Next set
“then take the wires~”
grab
“there, take them.”
“put the wires here–yes!” “now-”
“you will note that I am NOT replacing the plug- which would be forbidden-” “but merely SHOWING you how to do it, which is okay”
“(just don’t tell my manager)”
Next set
“now, push this here…”
*click*
“and, there.” “now all you need to do is screw that thingy when you get home.”
“how much do I owe you dude”
“the plug is 3.90€“
“sweet”
Next set
And so I paid, went home & screwed the plug, then vacuumed the place.
“what an absolutely delightful motherfucker this guy was.”
ugh
