Crap I Like

I like Redbox. It's a DVD vending machine; it only costs $1, it seems like there is one in every grocery store, and I can return them to whichever machine I want...which is pretty handy.


HOWEVER...
Sometimes there is crap that I don't like. Many times I wait behind someone (like, I'm standing right there) and they take 15 minutes browsing all the movies, reading the descriptions of each -and then usually end up renting nothing at all.

Also, you can divide the globabl population into two categories: those who take longer when someone is waiting behind them, and those who rush or just leave because someone is waiting behind them. I call those people bad people and good people. The CIA should use it as a screening process.

I wonder...how many fights break out at Redbox kiosks nationwide? You know it has to happen all the time. Should the phenomenon have a name? What would it be?


Anyways, in spite of the occasional frustration, overall I wait less and pay a lot less and it is so convenient. So it is still crap I like.

Fighting at the Redbox kiosk should definately be called "Redboxing", there should be a fight bell that you can ring seconds before pounding the person in front of you so that they have a small warning.

I always scream in my head at them, "you can pick them out on line and have them reserved for you, you stupid idiot!"

HAHA... I was going to say "redbox beatdowns" but "redboxing" is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY better. You can't argue that, the debate is over before it began!

...how good am I?

My second time using the machine, I was browsing. Someone else came along and I said,"go ahead and go..." and I gave up my turn. Then after my turn came back, I was browsing again and a lady shoved her dvd in to return. I told her she had to start over (When I'm not using it), so I stepped aside again. Then she left before realizing she didn't do it right...and I fixed it!! Do I FINALLY get a turn? I did. Went home, watched a movie for a buck, and lived happily ever after.
