Dreamcast day will forever be burned into my brain.....
To celebrate my getting into college, my father purchased me a Dreamcast from Gamestop/EBGames' website along with Sonic Adventure and an extra controller.
When the package arrived, there had been an mix-up and Gamestop had sent me the deluxe bundle with all the release the games and more.
I was at a friends house when it arrived. Thinking I had done it on purpose, he called my friend's place demanding I come home about ripping him off, I was no longer allowed to leave the house. He also, and I quote, kicked me out of college.
He called up the college I was attending, and stopped payment on my account/classes. I had to go to the financial office to confirm the cancellation, and all the money for my first semester of classes was refunded to me.. I kept the money as a form of protest and revenge against my father.
I was able to prove that we got the wrong shipment by showing him the order number.. so I was a allowed to keep the console.
Sadly because I kept the money, he held a grudge against me for years afterwards always calling me a thief and a liar. I was also too stupid to use the money to go back to class the next semester...
It turned out better though, 4-5yrs later, after a really bad break up.. my mother decided to help me get back in college, since my father thought I wasn't worth the investment. Now in 2017 I'm sitting on 4 degrees including a Masters in Network Administration
