When I first saw on Amazon the 'Jurassic Park Mosquito in Amber Resin Prop Replica | Official Jurassic Park Collectible Paper Weight | Measures 3 Inches Tall' link, I knew that it was fate. I'd grown up idolizing Dr Ian Malcolm and had loved every iteration of Jurassic Park, so this was a real dream come true for me. Plus, a paper weight seemed like an interesting way to pass time during my boring day job.
But when the package finally arrived at my doorstep - oh man, did reality have other plans! This "dino-grade resin" replica turned out to be anything but dino-grade because it broke(and took with it some of my skin) upon dropping only once! Worse still were the ridiculous customer service representatives who couldn't do much more than tell me they weren't liable and wouldn't forward even reasonable claims beyond their own ticketing system; they sure didn’t care about how embarrassing it was being single without anyone around to try fixing things around the apartment or how emotionally draining — not to mention expensive — finding someone willy nilly would be (especially amidst these pandemic times). Apparently that's what happens when you choose poorly - right folks? Anyway, lesson learnt...
