Not true…...oh, wait......yes it is

I have musicians fingers
Same here. I'm a fiddler.
My missus used to play as well, but always seems to have a headache these days…

Until you try to deal with a Japanese company on your own, you have no idea how good we have it with IH International. I have sent the same email for 5 days in a row, and yesterday received….
Hi Gavin,
It became late.sorry about that.
Please wait for a two minute.
It sends a reply, immediately after understanding.
I'm really glad.See you soon.
And since…....nothing. I have even emailed in Japanese.
Is this standard? I wouldn't mind, but I'm only trying to buy a shirt.

I love the haiku-like nature of auto translated Japanese.
Recently, I was looking at the shipping options for a shirt and the drop down box contained the following 3 options:
1. It hopes of suddenness
2. It hopes of the following days
3. There is no hope -
Th really odd thing, is that when I first asked about the shirt I got an email back almost immediately, in quite plain English, simply stating.
Please send us your address and phone number, and we will advise a total cost including shipping, and Paypal payment.
I have sent them this information every day, including my order information (again) for the last 5 days
It's like they don't want to sell me the shirt, but are just enjoying winding me up.

That probably would be kinda fun.:)
"Hey, has that English dude flipped out yet?"
"Nope, still sending that same email."
"Send him some crazy response that doesn't make any sense and see what he does."
"Yeah, I'll send some poetry, but I'll run it through Google Translate and go from Japanese to Basque to Urdu to Arabic to English first…" -
Yeah, I really dig the Sartre-ness of it. If I ever buy from that store, I'm totally going with that shipping choice.
-
And after all that I email them in plain English saying…
"If I cannot pay for the order in the next 24 hours I do not want to purchase it"
10 minutes later an invoice arrives.
I believe they were simply screwing with me

Good morning laugh here! Thanks Chris and Mega!

Lets put it this way, it had better be a fucking epic shirt

Man, I'm kinda torqued at FourHorsemen. I saw their discount on twitter for "20% off all full priced seasonal goods." I think, man this 20% just sealed the deal for me, I'm going for the 4H Vibergs that I've been lusting after for weeks. So I pick my size, use the code, checkout, and everything is fine. Then about 30 minutes later I get an email letting me know that the boots I chose aren't a seasonal item and that they won't honor the cupon accepted by their site. Am I wrong to be irritated by this. I feel like, "how am I supposed to know what's your seasonal wear and what's not?" On their website the first picture says "Fall 2012" and shows a jacket, a sweater, and a pair of what appears to be redwing boots. When you click on the picture with the boots, it takes you to new products, which is 15 pages long! The boots I ordered are on page 15! I'm just irritated. When I email them back, they offered to waive my shipping, which is $25. I'm just now trying to decide if I should pass on the Vibergs I love because of a bad experience with the company selling them…Feck, I'm torqued!

Rant of the day: People who don't use their turn signals can drop dead. As can bicyclists who run red lights…you want respect, follow the rules of the road.
