Kids running around in a store

Families come in with their kids and they come up to the counter and need help. Meanwhile their kids are running around the store, touching everything in the store(kids are kids and they do this) and the parents do nothing about it. It isn’t the kid’s fault it is the parent’s fault. Parent’s are oblivious to their children’s activities in the store. When I was a kid my parent’s had a much tighter rein on us as kids. They wouldn’t allow this kind of behavior. What do you think? Should this be allowed in the store?

Seagate will not allow a hard drive to be sent back under warranty

Seagate will not allow a hard drive to be sent back under warranty to Seagate because they sold the hard drive to another company that sold it to me.

Here is a quote from Seagate’s warranty checker page:

The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service. Seagate sells many drives to direct OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers. These products are usually configured for the OEMs only, as components for their systems. You must contact your place of purchase for any warranty support on these drives.

What Seagate is doing is making the company that I bought it from deal with the warranty and making me wait longer to get my hard drive back. They want me to send the hard drive to where I purchased it, and that vendor has to send it back to Seagate. I would bet that this policy really cuts back on warranty returns and it also really upsets customers who won’t buy their products again. I went round and round with Seagate on the phone today to no avail. Does this seem stupid to you or is it just me?

Friends daughter colors her hair blue

My friends daughter colored her hair a light blue with the permission of the mother. The girl went to school and talked to the Principal’s office about coloring her hair after the fact. She should have checked before coloring her hair. The school sent the student home because she colored her hair. It is strange that the handbook says that you can’t color your hair at all. So, if you colored your hair from blond to brunette that would be a problem also. I think their book needs to be revised so as to avoid a potential lawsuit.

The girls teacher was okay with the blue hair, but not the administration.

Kids now a days will do all types of things in order to gain attention. Growing up we wore bell-bottomed pants and tie died shirts. Coloring of the hair should be the least of the authorities worries.
