Another addition to the list

Person #2 who should get rabies:

Dale at Best Buy. About 4 weeks ago I went to Best Buy to buy a laptop. I had done my homework online and I knew exactly the one that I wanted. Before I left for the store I double checked online to see that the unit was still in stock at the store that I wanted to pick it up from. It was, and so I set out for Best Buy. Once I got there it did not take me long to find the exact laptop that I was looking for (I'm smart like that.) This is where it got interesting. I stood around for 10 minutes waiting for someone to come and find me and ask something like, "Good afternoon sir, are you finding everything ok?" Well, that never happened. Eventually, I wondered over to another department and had someone paged to the portable computing area. This is when I met Dale. Dale couldn't have looked more happy to be alive if his hair had been set on fire and then put out with the concentrated urine of Kim-Jong-Il. I had a few questions to ask Dale, just to make certain that this was, in fact, the laptop that I wanted to buy. However, after just a question or two Dale became distracted by another customer who was in the market for a more expensive laptop. He literally walked away from me mid sentence and began to help another customer. Well, after literally stepping between him and the other customer in order to regain his attention, Dale told me that he was out of stock on the particular model that I was interested in. Apparently it was his job to tell the online inventory system how many of the laptops had been sold and he hadn't gotten around to it yet. Who knew that someone could waste that much time staring at Laura Croft's rear. Anyhow, that was the absolute end of it for me. I found someone else to print me a rain check (which by the way was no easy feat either, but not list worthy). So Dale, may some rabbit animal bite you squarely upon your loins and give you rabies.
