I thought I'd tell everyone about my day today...
Today I was standing in Rays GameTraders sipping a pepsi max. When I suddenly had the urge to go to McDonalds, So my friend Patrick and I left hastily from Rays place to mcdonalds. Upon arriving to Mcdonalds and ordering my meal I knew I had made a terrible mistake. Mere seconds later I remembered a television commercial which highlited that if I was to buy a certain package from pizza hut I would recieve my very own copy of Battlefield 2 this whole thing for the price of 34.95. This was an offer I couldn't refuse, but alas not wanting the pizza to go to waste I chose against it and regrettably ate my meal at mcdonalds.
But I knew I couldnt resist a cheap copy of battlefield 2...
So I walked up the road to pizza hut and took a flyer which told of this special deal. I took the flyer and hastily marched back to gameTraders where I asked Ray if he was interested in having pizza for lunch, cranky and frustrated at his inability to wrap a rectangular package the answer he gave me was not what i wanted. So I turned to Tom (the new boy at GameTraders) and asked him if he wanted pizza. He said yes. that was 1 pizza down 1 to go. Then a strange man whom I had never seen before asked if he could have the other pizza. Confused and a little surprise I told him that he could and asked him what he wanted.
I now had the order and was ready to go back up the hill to pizza hut...
I rang ahead to be sure that the pizza and Battlefield were to be recieved almost as instantly as I stepped through the door. the phone conversation went something like this.
Pizza hut girl: Hey, pick-up or Delivery
Sam: pick up please.
Pizza Hut Girl: What would you like?
Sam: The thing with the game
Pizza hut girl: mmmk, what game were you after
Sam: Battlefield 2 (of course)
Pizza hut Girl: Okay, and what drink?
Sam: umm do you guys have pepsi max?
Pizza Hut Girl:We Sure do!, and what name was it under?
Sam: Foote - F-o-o-t-e
Pizza Hut Girl: mmmk itll be ready in about 10 minutes. Enjoy your pizza
Sam: You too.
Only after the conversation did I realise that the closer didnt work...
Shortly after the phone conversation i began to march toward Pizza Hut where I knew I was to recieve my cheap copy of battlefield 2 and end this agonising wait. When i arrived at Pizza Hut I sat on the wooden courtesy seat, there was one other guy there. The guy behind the counter atpizza Hut called out Stooie? Phone order for Stooie?
The other guy didnt respond and I also declined that this was me. Then the other guy left with his order. I was starting to worry.... They then asked what I had ordered and the guy claimed that he had called out my order before. Once more i was a little confused but I didnt really mind that they stuffed up my name. Anyway he went out and got the pizzas and came back to me and said. Here you go. Oh theres a slight problem with your order. We have no copies of Battlefield 2........
I think I stood there for a few seconds wide eyed with my mouth open. Staring at this guy in disbelief.... The only reason i was buying this bullshit pizza was to get a fucking game!!! i thoguht to myself. Then he piped up with "But you can still get a copy of the sims 2 or Need for speed!" Already owning Need for speed I opted for the former...
So basically I had two pizzas i didnt want a garlic bread i didnt want, and a game I didnt want. but at least I had my 1.25l of pepsi max right? WRONG!!! There was conveniently no pepsi max in the fucking fridge... Broken hearted I walked back to gametraders with a pile of expensive rubbish. I took it back to gametraders and gave the pizza to that random guy, he thanked me then hurried off. I shared the other pizza with Ray and Tom and my good friend Pat and traded the drink i got for some cans of pepsi max.
I don't know whether or not this story has a moral but I can tell you these things.
the sims 2 that i got has a total of 7 discs
the sims 2 takes 1,000 hours to install
the sims 2 is gay
If you ever go to pizza hut
dont expect them to get your name right
dont expect them to actually have what you want
and if you want pepsi max, go to gametraders.
