What's with the crappy stationary quality these day. Okay like yesterday i bought these two pacers (with rubbers and lead refills) for $3 on special (last one on the rack) and had a -YES! daniel got lucky- moment. Only to take them home and find that they are non functioning. From the outside they looked really pro/new/whizzbang/shiny/complicated/high tech, you get the idea but when i eagerly took them home to try out, the lead wouldn't even come out. It had THREE ways to eject lead- pressing the button, shaking it and some automatic function, yet none of them worked. So after much examination and head scratching moments I deduced that the tip of the pacer from which the lead is meant to come out was too small for the 0.7mm lead and instead the sweatshop $1 a day labourers in china (it actually was made in china) had accidentally placed the 0.5mm tip in the 0.7mm pacer. Just what I think. Stupid Bic quality, so tomorrow I might go get a refund (even though the box is now mangled since i suck at opening stationary boxes)

I seem to be talking about a lot of strange and random things these days.
