What up there with 250 euro worth of property damage (more if they took out the extra controllers, those things cost a bomb)?

I had been assured I was getting a Wii before they went on general sale and so was definitely going to have one for Christmas (big win since I didn't prebook one-was out of the country when they started). I was majorly psyched I'd been waiting for the console since it was announced, even booked time off work so that I could overdose on Zelda, bowling and rabbits. In the end it didn't happen, was Wiiless (ha ha ha) for Christmas and spent the time off desperately trying and failing to find one in the country. In the end I did find one, but about 2 months later. Now imagine hearing about that fracking book for 2 months and not being able to get a copy.

Moral of the story is that I didn't go postal, didn't go off at the person who promised me the console and dealt with it like an adult rather than a 5 year old whining about emotional damage.
