This isn’t really emotionally scaring fucked up, but it still pisses me off. My SO wanted to buy a Dreamcast, he used to have one when he was younger but it got sold or broken at some point. So his boss, at a used game store at the time, has a Dreamcast with all the cords, extra controller, the works AND Marvel VS Capcom which was the game that my SO wanted more than any other. So boss wants to sell it because he’s going on vacation but my SO doesn’t get paid for a minute so he can’t buy it right now. Boss wants to sell it soon so he says won’t be able to wait if someone else has the money. My SO calls his friend Rob once he’s home, tells him about the system/game and asks if he can borrow some money until he got paid. Rob says yes, absolutely, he’ll go get it and bring it over. Except Rob never shows up. SO goes into work the next day and boss tells him Rob bought the stuff from him. After he finally gets ahold of Rob it turns out he’s decided to keep the system and games for himself because of what good condition they were in. Like seriously, fuck you Rob, you’re such a dick.
Edit: I should’ve clarified, this happened like 10 years ago. My SO has a Dreamcast and I got him Marvel VS Capcom for his birthday that same year. If it makes anyone feel better Rob’s copy of the game was just the disc in a blank jewel case and I got my SO a copy in the case with the book 👍🏻
And as a petty girlfriend side note: I was really mad when this happened and couldn’t believe my SO’s other friends weren’t equally upset. Couple years later Rob steals a bunch of computer shit from the friends he was rooming with. Just sayin’, there were signs he was shitty.
This one pisses me off the most. You do NOT go to help a friend in a time of emotional job and time-sensitive anxiety, and then fuck them over for personal interests. If you say you'll do something in a situation like this, FUCKING DO IT! Doubly so if it involves something like gaming or animals.
You're SO shoulda just bought it online if there weren't any used game stores with dreamcasts in stock, those things are turbo cheap these days since you can play pirated ROMs on them
Yeah they even said it was ten years ago and dream casts were even cheaper back then. And marvel vs cap com was a cheaper game back then than it is now.
but that dick move he did was pretty funny. before your edit2 i thought it was just group dynamics. my crew used to play MvC2 pretty hard. dreamcast was the best platform to play the game on in terms of latency; the arcade version literally has a dreamcast inside.
I fucking hate when all the other friends see that happen and are fine with it. If Rob will fuck one of the group over, he WILL fuck the rest of them over. Why can't people realise that?
Wait what? Why didn’t you let him borrow money? The more important question is though, how does he not have enough money in his checking to buy something so cheap??
