Adventures in acquiring textbooks

I had a fun time this morning.  I decided that time had come to go buy my textbooks.  So I braved the heavy rain and walked the ten minutes to the campus bookstore.  After some searching, I found my textbooks and got in line.  At this point, I had a nagging feeling I should check and make sure I had my debit card.  I didn't.  I had left it on my desk after I ordered books off of Amazon yesterday.  So I left my books at the customer service desk and walked back to the dorm in the rain.  I got my card, and went back to the bookstore.  At this point, I'm pretty wet, umbrella notwithstanding, but I'm not upset.  It's just kind of "oh well."  I get my books from the desk and get in line.  I'm next in line when all the registers in the store and the adjacent store crash at the same time.  I just start laughing at this, because it's just rather ridiculous.  They fix the problem, and the guy checks out my books, I pay, and he starts putting them in bags and telling me about their return policy.  At this point he notices that one of my books hasn't rung up ("It looks like the store tried to give you a free book!").  But all of the debit/credit card readers are down because they are resetting them.  I wait a few minutes, and they're able to get everything set and I finally go back to the dorm with my books that took me an hour to get.  It was ridiculous, and I wasn't even mad.  I just find it funny that there were so many problems.
