Title: E bay disaster
Post by: Nick on August 24, 2008, 09:34:19 AM
Following our (my, actually) successes with the saxophone and keyboard Mrs Nick has become an e bay junkie.  noooo:

At 4 this morning ( evil:) she woke me to say that she had successfully bid on a rather bulky item of furniture at " a very good price".

The moron had been looking on ebay.com. cussing:

The vendor is in effing CALIFORNIA!! cussing:

The shipping costs will be astronomical. cussing:

She was so excited that she someohw failed to see that the price was in dollars  noooo:

Nick ~ You need to take control or consult a divorce lawyer. In my experience a divorce works well but if you don't want to go that far an occasional slap works wonders, your alternative is to put up with it all and suffer in silence.
I know what I would do.  eveilgrin:

I'm serious ~ take no sh*t. Tell her how stupid she has been and ask her how SHE intends to resolve the matter.
So she doesn't speak to you for a week ~ what the fvck, that's situation normal anyway. Just wash your hands of the whole matter and let her get on with it while remembering to say "I did tell you so" when it all goes tits up.

Use her account to buy lots of cheap stuff then fail to pay.

Once she gets a bunch of bad feedback nobody will sell her anything.

You could start with the chaise longue. . .
