Do Not Type Like This

So I Randomly Got Sent A Message Over MSN That Was Meant To Close And Stop Working Over A Week Ago When We Started Typing Like This And Fuck It Is Annoying To Read, Slow To Type And Overall A Pointless Exercise To Even Bother With As My Friend Would Put It.

Wait, protect those batteries

It will not come as a shock to anybody reading this website that most stores no matter where they sell always rely on upselling to make extra profit. Everyone has their viewpoints on this but my issue is how far some companies will go just to make that little extra …
