Excuses, "Reasons" & Justifications For Your Latest Purchase
-
There has been a bit of talk recently about what we tell our partners we paid for something when we know that they would flip if they knew the real price.
Whilst I do not condone any sort of subterfuge like this. Oh no, of course not…..
I thought this may be a good place to share stories.Look, listen and learn.

And I thought that it was just me…...

This does not quite fall into the thread theme, but it was feckin funny afterwards...
When is comes to fishing tackle, I have a disease (very similar to the boot disease). I can't stop my self collecting stuff. A few years ago I was in the office with Paula and I decided that I needed (absolutely needed) a new very expensive salt water fly fishing reel. So I found the one I wanted popped it in the cart, managed to fill in my credit card details without Paula noticing, and checked out.
At that point the feckin website shouted out "Congratulations on your purchase from Fishing Tackle Warehouse".
Did not manage to hide that one.

Other clothing looks bad and feels worse.

I won't name names, but you know who you are…..
A few years ago one of my regular customers bought a shit load of stuff on Friday night.
On Saturday morning I got an email from him asking whether I had shipped it or not, and if not could I cancel his order as he could not afford to pay the Utilities let alone buy a shit load of Iron Heart gear.
I thought it a bit strange that this revelation had happened within hours of him buying the stuff. Anyway, I had not shipped so told him no prob and I would refund.
On Sunday I get another email from him (from a new email account), telling me that he did want the stuff and the "cancellation" was from his girlfriend who had hacked into his email account.....

i went home, stopped "drunken smoking" since than,
and bought the shirt last week as a reward. -
"It matches" or "they go together."
"You can't build up a decent credit rating without accruing some debt. Don't you want us to get a nice house some day?"
Oh, and of course "It's expensive, but it's built to last. I'll wear these for the rest of my life. They'll pay for themselves you know. And I'm not accessory to working some poor third-world child to death."

I can't even get involved here. I could fill this up all by myself.

Due to the wonders of technology, my wife gets detailed text messages any time one of our bank accounts is debited more than $150 in a transaction. Yesterday afternoon, following one of said text notifications, she asked me what I bought from Iron Heart. I told her what I purchased (IHSH-96 and a couple of tee shirts) and her only response was, "You're buying more tee shirts?"
She's very tolerant.
