Err... I am so angry right now it isn't even funny. I ordered my new lacrosse stick and paid an extra 20 dollars for them to ship it out that day and for me to recive it the next. I stressed that they make sure that the head and the shaft fit correctly. One week later I get my stick. Now the ****ing bastards at the store I ordered from couldn't drill the damn hole in the right ****ing place! Now I'm screwed with a head that doesn't even fasten to the shaft even after all the crap I gave them about not making this mistake. I seriously want to shove it up their asses for making such a stupid mistake, and my next league starts on monday, and I have one stick (the one I first played with ever) and it weighs about 30 pounds (exaggeration) and I haven't touched it for months. Damn I'm pissed. Under normal circumstances, I would just call over a friend tell him to get pads on and we would do one-on-one drills, which usually lets me let out my agression. But I don't have any decent ****ing sticks! :mad:

I thought lacrosse was for white girls who got Audis from their parents when they turned 16.

No offence.
 
Right, no offence...
Is that the stereotype, or is it from personal experience?

Lacrosse was originally meant for men. Most of the people who play it aren't rich or stuck up. Hell everyone on our team had to work to pay off most of their equipment.

It's a titanium alloy shaft. The last time I tried doing that to titanium shaft, I ground the bit down to a nub. The stores usually have a special bit that they paid like 40 dollars for.

Have you been hanging around MistaY again?

My opinion is, this sort of thing wouldn't happen if you played a sport that i've actually heard of (rugby, Footie, getting drunk etc).

Then you wouldn't wear out that titanium shaft.

Or whatever.

Yeah, that ****ing bastard. I hate MistaY. He is so gay.

The only reason that you haven't heard of Lacrosse is that you aren't, uhm, err, cool enough.

Actually I think i'm sure that one of the characters in Amercan Pie was a lacrosse player.

If your so pissed why don't you just go and hit your sister or something?

We played Lacrosse in year 3...It seems to be a pretty small sport here in Australia...Footy (Rugby League) is probably the most followed sport down here though.:D

Actually, Early 1970's football great Jim Brown played Lacrosse, when he wasn't playing football.
If my memory serves, he is neither white, nor an Audi driving girl.:lol:

When Brown played, he was in college. That would have been the '60's.

I'm not to sure about that though. When native americans played it, it wasn't really considered a sport. There weren't any real boundaries or rules, they just played it when and where ever.

If the store said that they would be able to make the stick to your specifications then they have to put the thing right.
 
What? I don't really understand that. They did say that they would get it to me the next day. They also said that the stick would be made to my specifications. They just effed up.

It may be different where you are, but in the UK, if you make an arrangement like that with a store, it becomes a binding contract. If you go into a store in the UK and say "I want to buy a kettle that boils a litre of water in three seconds", and the salesman goes "Here you are sir, this one boils a litre in 3 seconds", and then you get the kettle home and it takes 8 seconds, then you can take the kettle back to the store for a refund because it is not "as advertised".

Basically, what I'm saying is that the fact that the store messed up your order shouldn't cost you anything financially. Obviously if time is a pressure, then that's harder to deal with. I always find that getting the store to agree that they messed up, followed by asking them what they're going to do about it causes lots of backtracking. And remember, don't shout. In fact, be silent as much as possible: there's nothing better than silence to turn someone into a gibbering idiot.
 
Oh, I see what you are saying. They said they would replace it for free and refund the shipping for me! The guy was expecting me to go off on him, but I just calmly told him and he tried to act like he did nothing wrong. I just pointed out what he did wrong, and because I was nice, he refunded the shipping completely. Hey, people make mistakes. I was just really upset because I had gone out of my way to make sure that they didn't screw it up.

I'm not as pissed anymore, but I need my stick back really, really soon. As I said, I have a game on Monday.

Hey, I don't follow sports. I just saw something on Jim Brown on ESPN while channel surfing. I think it may have been 1958 that he played for Syracuse.
Thanks for straightening the facts.:D
 
I have to vent and rant about something here.


IT'S NOT LACROSSE, IT'S CROSSE!

Everyone, and i mean everyone (heck, even the pro league) has it wrong. "Lacrosse" is a poor translation of the french expression for the game, which is "Le jeu de la Crosse" which would translate into "The game of Crosse". I find it irritating to see such a blatant mistake, and that no one tries to correct it.
 
You know what. I am pissed too, but because I banged the last controller that I had. Everything works fine except the R3, and I cant use the zoom feature in Splinter Cell. I really need to contend my anger, this is my 3rd one for *hit. Maybe I should put a sandbag in the wall. I cant believe I threw my only controller. :irked:

That's what they call it and that's what its been called. Calm down. Is American Football really football? Why would they change a name that has been used since the earliest times of the sport. The "correct" name for the stick is actually crosse, if that makes you feel better. The sport's real name was something like Baggataway...
