Never Again...
I was all hyped up today because I was finally given a chance to do things I wanted to do since all my family members were out doing stuffs I never really gave a damn about.
FINALLY.
After all these years of wasting my youth... -_-
So I decided to spend the day at a random music store and check if BIGBANG's SPECIAL EDITION album was now available in my country... and now that I saw it, heck! I didn't even think twice and ran to the nearest cash register.
Okay. Since this will be my first time buying a BB album... and I have undeniable perfectionism symptoms, I had to check it's every edge, corner, side, front, back, tip, bottom, top first for scratches/folds/tears/dirt/unwanted embosses/etc. Before I run any further to that cashier lady.
And to my dismay I found that the album I held had a FOLD ON ONE CORNER.
ONE.
SMALL.
FOLD.
As a loyal fan, I cannot accept even the smallest error made possible in an album I have waited for so many years to land on my country. I know, you think I'm crazy. Well hell yes I am.
So what did I do? I neared the cashier lady and asked if their was a better packaged album and she happily replaced it. YAY! :D
Just to make sure, I did my unusual perfectionism-inspection again and was happy with the result :DD
It made me more happier when I found out the album came out with a free posterrrrrr~ :DDD
And so I came back home; All happy and satisfied with what had just happened. My hands couldn't control themselves any longer because of too much anticipation. And without further having to experience the killing suspense, I openeddd iittttttt (well more like ripped the plastic wrapper like an uncivilized human)
And oh my god,
wth was this!!??
Now that I could clearly see the whole thing, I felt disappointed.
Very disappointed at what was now before my grasp.
The album I had just bought had so many damn imperfections!!
It could be compared to a second-hand item from a garage sale. Why did I not see this when I was at the music store? Why did it look fine just hours ago when I was still there? Why is this happening to me?? Moreover, have I gone completely blind!!??
My happiness level just went down by 30%. Well atleast I still had 70% to be proud of.
Just when my hopes were still unmoved, I saw the contents : the booklet and CD.
Oh hell no!
They completely ripped me off with their marketing tactics. To hell with that damned plastic wrapper. Oh, and did I mention that It was one hell of a shiny damned platic wrapper? Well now you know...
I placed some bits of it back to cover the album and discovered the most unacceptable truth known to man: the shiny plastic wrapper was like a ninja. It did a good job at hiding those creases and whatnots.
Happiness level = 50%
Sigh.
The CD was FINE. phew! Lastly the poster: The condition was close to okay (because I accidentally ripped a little part)
MY CONCLUSION: Never again will I buy from that damned music store. No wonder there was no people in it. They don't handle their products with care.
