I hate Sears...

I'm angry right now. We have a digital camera (which I would not recommend this one to anyone.) I've hated it since we bought it. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that it is broken.

Long story short, the LCD screen is cracked, and the "liquid crystal" is leaking out. Over time it will get worse. I called Sears, because we have their "Master Protection Agreement". Long story short, this damage is due to negligence on our part and it is not covered.

I don't remember dropping it, breaking it, or mishandling it in any way. One day it worked and the next day it did not work. We paid for this extra warranty, we always do on practically everything (even though I think it's a waste of money.) The first time something actually breaks within the warranty period - we can't do anything about it.

I guess it technically is our fault somehow. But either way, my camera still takes pictures - you just can't really view the screen. So I'd like a new one... but it's definitely NOT in the budget. I'm sad. I don't want to miss pictures of my little guy. Good thing I still have the old school camera with the film!
