Random Rants : Someone is wrong on the Internet

Just recently I walked past a store with a big sign saying:
Big letters - EVERYTHING ON SALE*!
Little letters - *Exceptions apply.
If there are exceptions then it isn't everything you stupid shop. And pretty much every shop has big red sale signs yet everything is expensive. I hereby declare that shops are where idiots shop. Clever people now shop online.

Well it sounds much better than SOME STUFF ON SALE; SOME NOT!
damn online system.I bought some offer from the Dutch railway company for the entrance at bodyworlds.
That gives me some voucher codes.
I go to the website, insert the codes to get the tickets.
Due to whatever reason the system forwards me to a page where I need to pay (why? Already did that!). I go back, try again. The system complains that there's already a payment procedure going on. Which obviously isn't the case. I log out of the ordering system (which it suggested in the error message). I try to get the tickets again, now the system says I can't use the voucher codes anymore, because they've already been used.
What the hell
?Now I need to phone the people there early tomorrow morning, to see if I can get that fixed. Else I've just burned 36€

!EDIT: And danced this evening for 4 hours, and did not get into any closer contact with any girl. Yeah, great

This is not a complete sentence.
Online isn't immune to this, either. I used to buy stuff online from Annie's Attic (craft company; I used to buy needlepoint magazines and patterns from them long before I went online). I still buy occasional downloadable patterns, but nothing tangible since they started their deceptive sales advertising. They will proclaim a "free shipping" or heavily-discounted shipping event for both U.S. and Canadian customers, but the small print says that Canadians still have to pay a minimum $10 shipping charge. So the $3 shipping event they ballyhoo would really cost me $13 US, and with the current exchange being what it is now, I don't buy much from the States even when the company in question isn't being deceptive.

Every now and then - such as recently - I can't help but listen to Italian opera/mandolin music even though it turns me into a sentimental, teary-eyed romantic, just like my dad. I'm turning into my dad, and I'm doomed to be a romantic sap. 
EDIT: I'm searching stuff on Italian stereotypes and the first ad youtube shows me is Olive Garden. That is not a coincidence, is it.

Maybe not. But its very incompleteness renders it even more perfect, in my humble opinion. I think of it with the same sort of affection I'd reserve for a disabled child (if I had any).

complete != coherent
i think borachio's sentence is complete, it's just incoherent.

It has a subject and a verb. That's everything you need for a sentence, even though some words require complements. In this case, the necessary complement is there.

I'm sorry to hear that.My old cat finally died.
It was super sad when the family cat died some years back. We where both around twenty years old so it was kind of like losing a life long family member. Loved pets dying on you can be pretty emotionally brutal.

"When it belongs to me..." what, though?
Hmm. So is this what Mr viking means when he says it's complete but not coherent? The sentence doesn't have any meaning as it stands.

What's the point of me leaving a review for Yelp if they're just going to filter the damn thing?
Pets are precious. I'm sorry for your loss.

Better yet, get a tortoise, they can hang around for more than two centuries. I wonder if pet tortoises get sad over that their humans keep dying on them..
