It is Friday :) Thank goodness. So here is a funny story for today. A few weeks back Blockbuster was doing a President's Day promotion where if you bring in the red tear away from a Netflix mailing you get a free rental. Well being the cheap arse I am I had been saving up my tear aways for the past few weeks because they did this same promotion back in December and I figured they would do it again.

I go to the store and ask the guy working the counter how many I can rent with the tear away:

Guy: I don't know.
Me: Is there a limit?
Guy: I don't know.

So being as awesome as I am I check out EIGHT dvds. Hee hee. Hey the guy said there was no limit.

The next day I go to the same Blockbuster to check out some more dvds :)and I go to the counter with 5 dvds in hand. This time the situation was much different.

Guy: You can only check out 2 dvds with this promotion.
Me: Oh really. The guy yesterday told me it did not matter.
Guy: No ... ONLY two.
Me: Oh okay no problem. (I select the two I want).
Guy: Did you return any of the dvds you rented because you can only have 9 out at at time.
Me: Yup I returned 4 today.
Guy: You should really switch over the Total Access because the program is great.
Me: No thanks

Things I learned - 1. I love ripping off Blockbuster 2. I love disgruntle workers 3. I love being a freak who rents 8 dvds.

Oh and a side note I think I might be addicted to Netflix according to this. My answer to all of these is YES!!

Do you check your Netflix Queue more than four times per week?

Have you cancelled plans with Grandma just to make sure you finish watching a disc so you can send it back?

Do you watch the DVD the same day it arrives so you can send it back the next day?

Do you cry and curse the Netflix gods if you don't get a DVD in the mail on the scheduled date?
