Every first snowfall is a clusterfuck where I live and I can't even blame tourists or Californians. Everybody just forgets how to drive on snowy roads and it's always a morning of bumpercars and clowncars and idiocy. Native-born white-bread suburban 50-year olds behave like they've never, ever seen snow before and drive into each other with complete surprise showing on their faces. Every. F-ing .Year. The only thing they remember is how to feather the throttle to get going but forget that stopping might take some finesse too.
The clock is ticking on this year... any day now.

I feel the same way. Always loads of cars in the ditch, accidents everywhere during the first snow. I think last year I counted 7 in the ditch on the way into work, and it wasn't even 7am yet

Saying "like" more than once. This dude in a class that says "like" sooooo many times in one statement its ridiculous. Drives me up the wall! He came into the common area in a building an I had to leave from all of his "uh like ... like... like..." OMFG it makes him sound like a moron...

When you spend a decent chuck of change on something and the stupid fucks 1 over sell shit, and bill you for your order when they cant ship, and when they do ship it to someplace in CA...... and then WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY TILL UPS GIVES THEM THEIR SHIPMENT BACK...................................... this is just going to end badly for me. Another week + or trying to find and get shipped another item...........

Yuppers, I paid a bit over MSRP because well they had ONE...... Every god dammed time I try to deal with someone out of jesery when it comes photo stuff it always turns out to be some slime ball trying to pull one over on the guy that lives in a state he cant point to on a map because hes never left Jesery and is a product of their high quality public education system. I am done with dealing with Jesery, other than maybe Beech Camera as I think they are out of jesery.... At least they will tell you they cant ship. Not take your money, send you a tracking number and hope that will fool you, when its not a valid number. Then when you call to ask they stop some other poor shmucks shipment in CA and turn it around and have it sent back to jesery claiming it was my shipment with the wrong label.

SO then I get told that I will have to wait till they get more stock in, to ship me my paid for shit, or I can take a refund. Ok thats fine credit my account and we will go our separate ways no hard feeling shit happens. OH NO they get to hold my money hostage until UPS gives them their shit back as that is policy........ I am calling them back tomorrow and they will credit me or I will have to make a call to Amex and I will let them deal with these shit bags.....

I should have done more due dilligance than I did it is partly my fault, but when you CALL them and confirm your package will ship on the day they say it will and that your ITEM is in stock........... I kinda thought I was doing just that and making sure I was not going to end up on the "one of those stories" list.....


Oh well

Oh no one should ever do business with Big Value Inc.....

your tamron?

A what?

[5ickride]

Trick or treaters. Not the cute kids in halloween costumes, they cool. But the 12/13 year old not dressed in a costume and carrying a bookbag/purse and asking for candy...wtf? I give it to them anyways because last thing i want is these little fuckers looking for revenge and either egg my house or worse, egg my cars.

[mrsleeve]

A what?

this

[DER E30]

That looks really sweet...

[mrsleeve]

ehhh decent supper zoom for a wildlife/birds/ planes/ and spying on the neighbors for the price point its hard to beat even with a stick or club, and its better than a root canal...


Speaking of other shit I am not a fan off Root Canals have to get one finished at 8am :(

dude! seriously! call amex now! fuck those assholes. credit card companies are used to having to unfuck the fuckings people get from these scam artists. i used to work at an online photo distributor called norman camera(kakamazoo, mi) when i was in college. they have full page ads in the photo mags but they don't have unbelievable prices like some of them and they don't sell equipment without u.s. warranties. during my couple years there, i did see/hear stories of some really f'ed up shit those guys pulled. i have threatened to buy products from them in the past. every time i almost do, i find myself put off by the snake oil salesman pitch i get on the phone. then i look at the reviews these companies get(aprox 1 star), i always think better of it and buy a good used one off ebay or craigslist.

Ahh good ol Norman..............Sprinkle road just north of I94 and the one over on Westnedge somewhere between 94 and "the hill" IIRC that store is still there (well last time I was though that way in 04 or 05 anyway) . Have many many memorable hours wandering though those stores with my grandpa in the late 80's- mid 90's, didnt they had location down town too didnt they I honestly dont remember. I totally forgot all about them till just now that you mention it ....

Yeah think I am just going to deal with the jews at B&H or Adorama from now on lol for major internet sales... Oh I will throw an endorsement out there for Dans Camera City in Allentown PA. I have bought all my M4/3 gear form them over the years (my old employers home office is in Allentown).
