I am officially the stupidest man on the planet.

This morning I went to my local Walmart to buy a USB cable so I can connect my computer to my printer. (21st century, I'm a little slow OK?)
When I returned home and opened it, I OPENED IT IN THE WRONG PLACE!!! One snip of the scissors turned a male USB cable into a male USB cable, a female USB cable, and at least six cablets of an indeterminate gender:frown

My first thought was to return it and try to convince the clerk that it was packaged this way. (cut open container etc) As persuasive as I am, that particular dog won't hunt.

They say lesson learned, the cost of doing business. I don't need to spend an extra $15.00 to tell me I'm thick.

I bought another and everything's fine. Seacrest out.smile

Seriously, I do this all. the. time. Not necessarily with USB cables, but with various other packaged goods.
You would think I would learn that when I sealed box says "Do not use a boxcutter" it says so for good reason..... :/

An addendum to my stupidity...it did have its humorous side. On the way home from purchasing my SECOND cable, a gentleman in a truck gave me a "thumbs up" sign. My first thought was, "Did I forget to wear pants again?" but I realized that not only was I properly pantsed, he must have been thumb-uping my black unisex SuicideGirls t-shirt (large, available at the online store, a bargain at twice the price). I wear it all the time, even when I'm not wearing pantsblushblushsmile

Walmart will take anything back as long as you have the receipt. I would still try.

There's a really silly poppy sounding version of that ket song aswell, that's the one that stays stuck in my head. I only found out Brand New remade it when I looked up the lyrics to post. Haha.

Eh, doctors. Once I has the moneys I can get it over with.

I just realize I was extra retarded this morning and kept reading everything as Brand New - Key instead of Brand New Key! Haha.

I looked up the lyrics by knowing them, not the song title and I royally screwed my brain in the process. Lol.
