Rip-off

Ripoff #1
I started my car Tuesday morning, and it didn't quite start right. I also noticed my clock had reset to 1 am. Eileen had gotten her battery replaced, so I figured mine was going too. I had meant to get to work early for an 8am presentation but instead drove straight to Firestone and got overcharged for a new battery. At least the car started in the morning, it would have been much worse if it hadn't.

Ripoff #2
Brie left me with a thank you card and a copy of the latest Harry Potter DVD. I was very excited about the DVD and opened it that afternoon. I was shocked to see instead of a DVD, there was an AOL cd. Someone had actually gone through the effort of stealing the DVD, replacing it with a CD, and re-shrink wrapping the DVD. That's alot of effort for $20. Brie was already on a plane back to Atlanta with the receipt, but Target did the exchange with my license. Eileen and I watched it Wednesday night.
