The purpose here is to present scenarios that people could potentially find themselves in and see how each people would react in them.

Someone has been playing too much Hitman.

That in itself is a mature way of looking at it overall. Sometimes we need to take a step back in order to prevent emotion from dictating our actions rather than reason.

Start producing meth to pay the fee.

Get glasses and a magnifying glass.

Consumer laws should protect you and give you the opportunity to cancel the subscription. If there is such a law in your country, remind them they should obey it.

An interesting fact on this one. In situations like this, depending on your state laws for oral contracts, a company must be able to product the contract you signed. If they are unable to product the contract not only must they stop charging you, but they may even be required to return what you already paid for the service plan. Request a copy of the contract. Worst case they have it and you have to look for other avenues.

remember to always always read that fine print on every contract, including emails and the patriot act and the likes. ( oh wait not a contract. )

Stop paying the fee obviously, or charge back everything and reformat said laptop.

That would come down to the contract you signed, if any. The actual legality will vary based on location.

Not all support is unbiased, and fair in their actions. Nor are all support issues / tickets people make raised people who themselves are in the wrong. I know you get a lot of that kind of nonsense here, but I really dislike this "oh support's always right" mentality prevalent among many.

If you've submitted a ticket through an open ticketing system concerning a specific staff members' actions (regardless of what staff / what they support), not only would it be an amazingly basic conflict of interest that any decent company would want to avoid to have that staff member deal with the ticket; it also means, that if that staff member is dealing with your ticket (considering a large corporation with many support agents and many tickets coming in daily), that chances are he/she's specifically fished your ticket out of the many to deal with, which more often than not denotes negative bias towards you and your complaint, lowering the chance you'll have your issue dealt with fairly to almost none.

If the situation is severe enough, sure. It would probably be best to exhaust other options before that though. If this was your place of employment you would probably lose your job for bringing bad press.

To each their own I suppose.

Keep that going for months, sooner or later you will be "retired" to jail for stalking reasons.

So you have enough bestial gay porn to do it for months? Very suspicious butt you must be a great fan then.

That's a reasonable way of dealing with it.

Never give up. If you're right, you're right.

Hey, I never called it hypothetical.

How do you define a pointless thread? You can check the forum at any given time and find several threads that have nothing to do with games, giveaways, or this site. Are off-topic threads (unrelated to games, gaming, giveaways, etc) pointless by default? If so, then so be it. I like to think that the average user, myself included, would read the rules of a forum before posting. I read them more than once.

Contrary to what you might think I do not do things just to be an ass. Nor do I make a habit of violating the rules of any site I am a member of. Off-topic threads, however, are not mentioned in the rules at all. If you do some digging you will find them mentioned here: http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/kA21E/notice-off-topic-spam/page/1

If off-topic threads are to be considered a rule violation shouldn't that be mentioned in the forum rules? Failing to do so only results in making more work for the support staff as they clean up off-topic threads that may not have been created otherwise.

Threadception !

that !

But seriously, nothing, unless I'm close enough to write the license plate.

"why didn't i realize that the car was open first?"

Write down license plate, scream and yell at them.

what would Brian Boitano do ?

I call a friend so that he can eat the pizza.

As written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

In this situation I would contact the pizza place and explain the situation. If they were unwilling to provide her contact information I would probably leave it at that. If we haven't seen each other for 30 years there is probably a good reason for it.

PLOT TWIST YOUR MOTHER DIED 30 YEARS AGO WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HER

IT'S THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

here is a better scenario: you order pizza and she comes to your house to deliver it and it also appears that her car broke down, she's two towns away, you just broke up with girlfriend, and your hard drive that you store porn on is now damaged.

What would you do if she's only into girls and she happens to see a pink rubber dildo from saints row which you bought only for self-defense hanging on your wall?

Don't give a fuck, eat the pizza. ;)

Order more pizza.

Tell her no wonder she's working a dead end job messing pizzas up. Now go get me another one or no tip.

BUT WHO WAS THE PIZZA????!!!!
