At the game store I work at, a lady bought a copy of FRWL for the PS2 which turned out to be defective. So she brought it back, I exchanged it for her, and she put the $3.00 guarantee on it, so if it breaks after the exchange period, we'd replace it for her. I exchange the games, she pays for the guarantee, and her change comes to...

...$0.07.

Sorry. It was funny at the time. :tup:

That happens very (oddly) often at the pharmacy I work at as well.

Oh yeah? Must be an omen.

It happens a bit here and there at my job too, but never with a Bond-related game until now. Spooky.

I get a little smile every time I look at a digital clock and it says 10:07...

A little juvenile, sure... but it works every time...

That's nice :D It could be pretty common if you got things that costs like x,93 though (9,93/16,93/49,93 etc):tup:

God bless caller I.D., I never answer the 'phone if I don't recognise the number. UNLESS, as yesterday, the unknown number ends in 007... Of course it wasn't prophetic of anything, it was just soemone trying to sell me something but for a moment I was most excited thinking James Bond was calling me :tup:

Pardon me Qwerty for thinking that you were all the time on this site and work for CBN.i was shocked to read that you work at a pharmacy.
