You thought this was gonna be about a broken BK-2, didn't you? sheesh, no one could possibly break a 2, are you kidding me? Ok, so here's the story:
My girlfriend is making me go to a china/glass store with her to look at vases and that kind of stuff. An employee was walking around with us and telling her about the different pieces of glass, and all that shit. While he was talking to her about it my mind was wondering off. I made up my mind that I would be ordering a BK-9 when I got home. Well, the employee then took a vase off the shelf and handed it to her. She looked at it for a moment then handed it to me. she of course said something like, "do you like it?" or something like that. I said that it was beautiful and I then carefully put it back on the shelf. As I was retracting my arm a vase fell off the shelf. All that was left of the broken pieces was the price tag. $274.99. Uggghhh, goodbye BK-9. Now I am even poorer than I originally was. Just though I would tell ya'll about my nice little pickle that I am in.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I was in my full Police uniform, so that made me look like even more of a fool.

Hate to hear that. I don't go into places like that, for reasons just like that.

Oh,

BK2's can break too.

That really sucks MrKnifekid! I would have thought about running away like Homer Simpson.


How did that BK2 break Moose?
 
Knifekid you FOOL!!!! Upon the vase shattering you should have yelled "who the hell pushed me" PS sucks to be you I
 
damn. both at the vase thing and at the 3 brain cells that came up with "hey, let's throw that 1-pound hunk of steel into a tree!"

You need to turn this in your favor. It is obvious that you CANNOT go into a china shop without embarrassing your wife/girlfriend by breaking something SO...you should put your foot down and never go back again. You can let her go all she wants but you will never have to go again because now you have an example of you being a bull in a china shop. :) You can also show her some math that will help your cause. $274.99 is at least 3 Beckers after you add tax. 3 Beckers in hand or pacify your girlfriend? I know which one I would pick.
 
I think that broken BK2 is one of what... two in existence that we know of and have been broken? Right?

Also, apparently the guy had been throwing the BK2 for a long while (hundreds of times IIRC), and then one time it "just broke".

*facepalm
 
You should have pretended you received a distress call on your radio and high-kneed it to your car. I'm sure your girlfriend could have gotten herself out of that mess.

I've thought about it and decided that instead you should have done this:

When you broke the vase you should have turned and grabbed the salesman's arm and flipped him over your hip and into a shelf destroying half his inventory. Slap the cuffs and him and punch him in the kidney with your night stick. When you stand him up and the glass is falling out of his face he finally gets the sense to ask you wtf is going on. You say that you saw the tag on the vase and your instincts knew immediately that he was trying to rob you. He should know better than to try and rob a police officer right? stupid salesman
 
As the great philosopher of our time,...Butthead once said,

"this sucks greater than all that which has sucked before it"...

sorry to hear man.

I like your style, Bama. Seems like we have a winner in the "How to deal with crazy shyte in a China shop" contest. You win double xp cool points here in the BKT forums, spend them wisely, as they are hard to come by.

haha thanks moose.
 
Pretty sure Derek told you not to go that it was GHEY..............guess he was right
 
There is no way I would have paid retail to replace it. The store is only out what they paid for it. Give them the wholesale value and let some other sucker pay the mark up!

yes, in fact, i'd offer to pay half of their cost with written proof. you didn't take the vast down, and you probably wouldn't have otherwise handled anything.

that's why they have this thing called insurance. as well, they probably could write the loss off tidily. not very good customer good will there.

later, i'd go back with a perp gun and shoot the place up, saving the one vase you did handle and give it to your girl :D

okay, maybe not.
