Oh yeah? Well fuck you, Netflix (or possibly USPS)

As I stated yesterday, I received an assload of Buffy-related stuff, and among those was my replacement disc for Angel s2 disc 3 from Netflix. I got my first copy of the disc the other day, and as you can see, it had a huge crack in it. Well, I spent all day yesterday catching up on Buffy s5 (since I was already 8 episodes into Angel s2), and today I opened up my Netflix package, and guess what? My replacement disc was cracked. It even looked identical to the other cracked disc, which led me to believe that I had just forgotten to send my other disc back, but I talked to my mom, and she said that she put it in the mailbox for me. The only thing I could think of was that Netflix turned around and sent me the same exact disc that I had reported as unplayable. I then remembered that I had taken a picture of the first disc, so I ran to get my phone, and upon closer inspection, it wasn't the same disc, but the cracks are nearly identical, which makes me think that it's Netflix's doing, as opposed to USPS. I then packaged and put the disc in the mail, but before that, I took a picture of it. I decided to put both pictures up, just for comparison.

First Disc

Second Disc

That means that of the last 6 discs we've gotten from Netflix, 4 of them were broken, because my mom also got two broken discs in the past week. She said that if this keeps happening, we'll have to cancel our Netflix subscription, so Netflix, I love you, but fuck you.

Then again, this might just be the USPS' fault, but since the cracks look so much the same (but aren't), it makes me think that the discs were both cracked at the same time, or at least in the same way, and USPS had the discs at different times, unlike Netflix.
