Oh PUH-LEESE
One of my daughters (I’ll be nice and not specify which one) just came to me crying (literally!) about this “huge, horrible gouge” in her laptop’s screen.
I looked at it and proved my insensitivity to her terrible plight by saying, “Where? I don’t see anything”. I got accused of just trying to make her feel better and then had it explained to me in graphic detail just exactly how drastic the situation was and the eye problems that could result from having to deal with that awful scratch.
After I finally got a good look at this horrid trench that had been carved into her LCD screen (I needed a magnifying glass to find it) I convinced her to live with it for another month or two. I was planning on buying myself a laptop, but instead I’ll buy her one and exchange it for the damaged one, which I’ll keep for myself.
Now I just have to convince her I won’t go blind looking at that ginormous (0.5mm) scratch in the middle (upper right corner) of the screen.
Sigh.
