An experience I could have done without; buying a computer from a computer shop.
We put our computer in for repair against my advice, because it was ancient and not worth repairing because it's so old. Lo and behold, it wasn't able to get repaired so we got given a £399.99 voucher to buy a new one.
We went in today and looked around and found one that would suit what my parents want it for. We flagged a sales assistant down and told him we wanted to buy it, but he began preaching to us about computer speeds and his apparent 10 years experience in the industry. All well and good, but I was stuck for 20 minutes unable to get a word in with this guy and was rather rude about my dad's stubbornness. When I finally got a word in I just told him we don't need anything too fancy but he resumed his preaching about computer speeds.
When he eventually fucked off we bought it anyway - despite it not being in stock - with this voucher.
Currently feeling mentally exhausted by the whole ordeal.
