Yesterday I had a major "I am living in a movie and I'm the character everyone loves when bad things happens to them" vibes
Cause I woke up yesterday and a not insignificant chunk of my electonics were broken/nonfunctional.. Some of them werent even plugged in, so its not like it was a power issue or something.
They were all bought at different times, from different stores, and different brands. The only thread tying them all together (and this is where the movie character shit kicks in) is that all their warranties expired within like 2 weeks of eachother, Which means they all just fell out of warranty.
The Few replies from the various companies I've gotten so far can be basically summed up as "1 day out of warranty is still out of warranty, go fuck yourself"
It sounds so ridiculous that even I don't believe it, and I'm living it. Do they just put kill switches in stuff to make them die immediately after warranty now? Cause I sure as fuck feel like they do.
