Well That Wasn't Fun

Recommended Posts

Earlier today I inadvertently bought about $225 worth of pens and inks ranging from Hero to Sailor 5th anniversary. Stuck my phone in my pocket and it "pocket dialed" my entire order in my eBay cart. Can you say oh......yes I know you could.

 

Luckily my husband is bailing me out of this one and is asking me why I had $45 bottles of ink in my cart :wacko:

 

The good news is I'll have some new inks to play with :blush:

Ouch! What is your husband looking to get on the deal?

 

Enjoy,

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

He will probably be getting a pen if I don't like the one. I have to pay him back. We run separate bank accounts just because these sorts of accidents happen from time to time with me I'm sad to say.

Well, as long as no violence erupts.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

No violence just a short lecture about locking my iPhone before putting it in my pocket :/

My wife's phone frequently calls me from inside her purse.

If you could change from that ~200€ bundle of pens&inks, to a single high quality pen (say 170€) and two already high quality inks (15€ each), what would you do? :)

I go to the wall, pick up the horn, crank the handle. speak into the speaker; "Hello, Mable, give me Alice."

A nice excuse for purchasing pens and inks.

Good thing I know how her iphone and mine work and she doesn't. Sorry, mom.

PS. Go out and buy yourself a lot of lipsticks

I will have to speak sharply to my iPhone. It has done its best to embarrass me, surely it could pocket order me nice surprises once in a while too, to make up for that.

The ink still would be one that I bought, however I would have chose a 14K Duke for the pen.

My smart phone is clearly not as smart as yours. :D

I'm not so sure how smart mine really is :huh:

Time to 'fess up. It wasn't an accident, was it.

Not the first time this kind of accident has happened?

 

I sense a pattern....

Yeah, I'm pretty bad about remembering what I paid where and try as I might to record everything...sigh...

ok we don't have the same tastes. Since you're in USA, you could have a Bexley also for that price http://www.bexleypen.com/category-s/1514.htm.

In any case, you can still sell all the pens you accidentally bought, and get your better pen. :)
