Rrrr!

Humans are infuriating.

As you probably all recall, at the beginning of summer, I purchased Archie from a local bike shop.

Since I've been at school, two people (including Creepy Cop Guy, who is actually rather nice) have been very aggressively trying to get me to sell them my owlbike.

While I have no intention of selling Archie, even for the $200 that Creepy Cop offered, I promised both that I'd get that local bike store to order more and arrange details from there. When I purchased Archie, they were very adamant about being about to order as many as I wanted, hoping I would provide more sales.

So I called their offer.

And they now say that, not only can they not order any more like Archie, but they deny ever selling it to me!

While this simply could be self-preservation on their part (Archie was not assembled very well, and I went back and tightened many bolts where they had not), it seems equally stupid. I can guarantee them not one, but TWO sales of at least $140 each. Would this not seem like a sound investment?

PEOPLE. UGH.
