I am totally to blame for this. I tried to be the nice guy here and yet, I somehow get screwed over in the end.
After seeing a number of people waiting to sit down earlier, I realized that I was sitting in the coffee shop for quite some time, so I decided it was time to leave. I nodded to someone waiting to let them know I was leaving, and they come up to me and start hovering as I pack up my stuff. Since I didn’t want to have them staring at my ass for 5 minutes, I quickly got my stuff together, picked up my jacket and left. I did a nice thing. Someone needed a seat and I gave up mine. *pats self on back*
I find myself back home, but not after stopping off for the weekly groceries. I was really excited to get back home since I picked up some goodies for dinner and really wanted to try my way at this “cooking” thing. I couldn’t wait to actually have a non-frozen dinner for the first time in weeks! As I walk up the stairs to my apartment, I quickly think back to earlier in the day when I gathered all my things from the coffee shop. Yep, I forgot my power cord.
So I walk in, drop the food off and head right back out the door and head back to hopefully locate the cord. After a 45 minute trek, I get back and of course, the cord was not where I left it. In fact, a whole new group of people were in the area, so I couldn’t even ask if anyone has seen the cord since I last left about 3 hours prior. I immediately went over to the counter and asked if anyone returned a power cord. I saw the cashier rummage through the “Lost and Found” and pull out a power cord!! Success!!
Only not. That was not my cord. In fact, it wouldn’t even work on my computer, so I couldn’t even try to “borrow” it for the time being. So yep, someone saw my nifty power cord sitting there (albeit still plugged in) and decided to swipe it. What an ass. So now I have to pony up $30 and buy another one off eBay. This blows.
Seriously. For real.
