I ended up buying one from Argos of all places
ARGOS. I HAD TO QUEUE UP WITH POOR PEOPLE.

Whenever I have to go to Argos
I always use the self service thing so I don't have to mix with the rabble. It makes me feel slightly less grubby.

I did that when I bought a gay kettle the other day
They called my number up so I had to go to the desk, and then they didn't have my stuff so they acted like I didn't understand the system
It was the worst time of my life

Old Street Argos in London Engerland
is the most depressing place on the entire earth.

If there's a hell it's an Argos where you have to sit next to some awful pleb as he hums to himself and stinks of stale spunk
And when you go up to get your item it's too heavy to carry and then they make you fill out their customer satisfaction survey.

It's the ones who smell of fresh spunk that worry me the most.

And they grin and wink

I was in Argos years ago
and some guy bought a set of dumb bells and bars and what have you. Couple of guys brought the stuff to the collection point and asked him where he was parked. "Um...I came here on the bus. Oh crap, how am I getting this home?"
I Lol'd.

It is annoying
I feel very uncomfortable in that situation. I all of a sudden forget how to stand still and my face starts moving of its own accord.

I've seen the number go from 999 to 001 before
I'll never see the likes of those days again
