I would guess that the camera retails for more than the amount of money he loaned her.
At least thats the way it usually works if someone pays you back with a gift. |

Were you expecting her to say something along the lines of "You better worry, son"? It's just a camera! :stongue:
I don't think she was going to spank you or anything like that. :p |

I've phoned her up at work and did the honesty thing. Told her "I've seen lots of reviews on it and its not got good ratings, theres sample pics taken with it and it'd be a waste of money if I had it, cos i'd not be able to do what I wanted with it, so if we send it back unopened (I've read thats the only way this place t akes it back) and get one more expensive but the one i want and i'll pay the difference is that ok"
she said yes, and not to worry, thank .
Problem is sometimes with these middle aged women they get moody when you reject stuff, she can fly off t he handle if I dont wanna eat something she's made, but in this case, I win :)
thanks for the advice guys :) |
i think that was a great way to handle it hehehe. i mean...my parents always wanted to buy me turntables...but i know they wouldn't be able to afford Techs...so i just always tell them the truth...basically that i know what i want...and i'd rather them not waste the money...
but this way is even better because you got what you wanted :gsmile: |
