Roommates Can Be Such Bastards

Time for a little xanga/livejournal/bloggermcbloggerson moment. I've been waiting for weeks and weeks for somebody, ANYBODY, to restock the vinyl of Télépopmusik - Into Everything with The MFA remixes. dancerecords.com finally gets it in today. I put it and a few other records in my cart. But I'm one short of the ~5 I need to get free shipping.
So I head down to the local music store to pick up some CDs and try to think of a vinyl to buy. My friend at the music store has been trying to get ahold of a certain Mylo vinyl, and says he'll pay me if I pick it up for him from dancerecords.com. So I merrily purchase my CDs and head back home to add the Mylo record and finish my order.
But then my roommate s everything up. We have our internet set up through a wireless router. He has a desktop, and I have a laptop that I run on the wireless. Lately he's been playing Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. For some reason if he's not directly connected to our cable modem, he gets booted from the game every ten minutes. So I come back and he's deep in the middle of a long game, and I'm fux0red for an internet connection. I ask him if it'll be long and he tells me "yeah." So 17:30 rolls around and I absolutely have to leave for work. Right as I'm about to leave he's like "I'm probably just gonna surrender, do you still need the internet?" Bollox.
So I go to work, hoping the record won't be sold out by the time I get home at 23:00-ish. I come back, and wouldn't you know it, the damn record is sold out. :whip: :whip: :whip: |

| have you tried eBay? |
|

| There're only a few copies on ebay. But more to the point, shipping from dancerecords.com is free. Buy it from ebay and add at least another 50% for shipping. No ta. |

but you need to have at least $50 worth of merchandise on dancerecords to qualify for the free shipping.
1 records on eBay + shipping shouldnt be that much, especially if that's a record you really want. |
|

| Noctone |
| No no, I've got enough other records I want to buy right now to get up to $50. The heart of the matter, anyways, is that my roommate fux0red me over. ): |

But then again, if you really want that record, then shipping on eBay (or anywhwere else) shouldn't be too much of a problem though.
Sympathize wth your problem though, many a time have I waited too long and had a record sold out as well. But dont worry you'll get it eventually. |

wise words.
Records come in & out of stock all the time. It will probably be back on dancerecords soon. Email them maybe
It doesnt sound like your roommate is much of a bastard at all. So what if he likes to play games? big deal... Unless he does more than that, it seems you just get a little annoyed to easily. |

| If you're interested you can get both MFA remixes on iTunes for £1.50. I know it's not vinyl though. |

| Why didn't you just alt+tab on your roommantes computer and order it.. 2 mins doing that and back in again ? But guess it's a little late to give that advice :) |

Obviously you've never seen anyone play C&C. 1 minute, let alone the more than 2 it would've taken to do the order, wouldn've gotten him raped. ): |
