Amir and the laptop.


This cracked me up.

The story in a nut shell: This guy, Amir, sells a laptop on eBay. Turns out the laptop is not what he described and to add insult to injury, it is broken. He refuses to refund the buyer. Laughing all the way to the bank, right?

Wrong, the buyer gets some sort of revenge. He somehow gains access to the laptop and begins to post the contents of the hard drive on a blog.

This also spawns another blog to continue the saga. As well as some media coverage.

All the buyer wants now is an apology and he will shut the site down. Judging from some of the content, you would think that Amir would gladly comply, right? Wrong again.

Amir is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
