well you know that there are many reasons for a crotch-blow go figure

but with a bit more then 7months of wear, a tiny tear in the crotch area is ok imo…not in my situation but in general

asked for measurements of a jacket i saw on a certain site, next day the price was up 150 pounds

should've just bought it

[madmonday]

ask for the price as it was published the previous day?  worse thing they can say is no. . . but yeah that sucks just alittle bit.

[mvb]

yea good idea but it gave me a bad feeling so i didnt want to buy it there anymore

Why must the fraud department at my credit card company go apeshit every time I order from Giles or Self Edge? Sooo annoying.

I've had the same problem so now I have to use paypal, like you say ''So annoying''.

Happened to me recently too. I almost went berserk after my 5th time trying to order the IHSH-52

It happens when I use paypal, too, although less frequently. You'd think they'd start to ignore certain merchants after awhile.

I got the fraud alert problem after trying to by a computer from Dell. I tried to explained to the bank - it's Dell computers, not exactly a small operation…

Still, earlier this year I was credit card fruaded for over £1000, and the bank was great about it and caught the transactions before they went through, so I guess it's better to have them out there keeping tabs than not.

At 19 I had to leave behind in Paris a gorgeous leather jacket because my card was declined although I sorted it out later on and recently had a similar gripe.
Now I've just cut up one of my 4 credit cards so the other 3 are nearly maxed- meaning I'll have to pay off some before my next (already planned) splurge.

At least we ARE protected, although it is annoying when genuine transactions get refused.

my glass shower door just spontaneously shattered

[Seul]

Holy cow… Were you in it???

[jacoavlu]

nope, whole family was at other end of house
heard a big crash
I thought wtf but apparently its not unheard of
not a fun cleanup

[Seul]

Glad that didn't read "Was showering with the whole family"…

[madmonday]

that is the worst jaco, glad no one was hurt.  do you have to shell out to get it repalce or was it under a warranty & you just have to deal with the buracracy to get it fixed?

to be honest not sure which is worse 

f^cked up way to start the week

[jacoavlu]

it's tempered glass so it just shatters to a million pieces, yes fortunate no one was in it
one benefit of renting… call the landlord, hopefully gets fixed today, ill be damned if I'm paying for it

[Finn666]

still at work…13 hours now

Washing machine went haywire. The cycle wouldn't complete! Had to wash some Samurai's twice. Arggh! Some serious color loss.
