    That's what I was thinking too; however, it confirmed what I had suspected about our own Sam Fisher....he is very hard-headed! :p :D

    Maybe they were having a Vspan debate and the employee did that on purpose? Whatever the case may be, I hate BB.

    I have on good authority that Sam was watching his favorite Greek teams play an exhibition match. He became very excited, and according to anonymous sources, tried to "shake some sense" into one team, at which point he brought the TV falling onto his own noggin.

    Interesting that he is not wading in. I think, using a logic system popular in these parts, that means that he is the very Sam Fisher of this article.

    Guys, I just wanted to compare hitting myself on the head with a 27 inch TV dropped from 10 feet to the mental feeling of dealing with DaDakota.



    And don't tell the judge, but I preferred the TV.

    I always figured SamFisher was a fake name. I thought Sam was just a Splinter Cell fan.

    Funny story that happened to me when I was 14 at best buy. I stole like 3 cd's (I was young and dumb), got caught, and in the security room in the back this big ass red metal exit door holder or something falls on my back while i was sitting down waiting to get dealt with and I just said out loud "thats a lawsuit" and the best buy employees heard me and i guess they told their manager and I was let go. I didnt sue them or anything, although i could have.

    Sign me up! I can't stand Best Buy. Their horrible customer service and bad pricing drove me away about 10 years ago. I hope they get an Isiah judgement against them.

    I agree with this. If you're a customer watching an item you've requested being pulled off a high shelf, your natural instinct is to stand within a close distance, not 50 feet away. Especially true of a heavy item because you want to make sure the clerk doesn't damage it.

    So if my next server drops a bowl of steaming hot soup into my lap, and my pasty white thighs are burned beyond recognition, it's my fault? I should be prepared for this reality?

    uhh no... that's different. common sense is to not stand under something heavy and could easily fall.

    try again

    Well, there's a difference between standing close and standing right UNDER the product being pulled.

    I think a normal person tends to stand a couple of feet away, depending on the height of the shelf, so that s/he can look up at the product but not overly strain his head doing so(which would be the case looking straight up). So unless the employee was somehow flinging the TV at the customer, there is absolutely no reason why it should get dropped onto his head.

    No matter what, standing in a place where the TV can be dropped straight on you cannot be "natural" no matter how you look at it.

    Well the soup is hot. It's been held with one hand by a hungover 22-year old woman who weighs 110 pounds. It's even closer to my lap than the giant TV was (the giant TV that was being picked up by two strong dudes) to Fisher's head.

    Your turn.
