I careful timed my order from XCracer ao it arrived when i was at home and Mrs K wasnt. Today i was about to phone them and moan at the delay to the delivery.
I came home and found the contents of my order on the kitchen table. 2 bottles, 1 muckynutz fender and a bolt through axle. As i was glancing quizzically at the stuff, Mrs K said, "I ordered something for your Christmas present the other day, and this lot of freebies was also in the box, I thought you may want to keep them".
Best keep quiet eh? Someone at XC racer obviously had the brains to match the address!
Ah yes, thru axles, that common freebie.
Make sure she doesn't look at the receipt!
It's still September! Who thinks about Christmas presents in September?!
She'll be sending his christmas present back now.
Idiot!
This was your chance to fess up, she hasn't ordered anything for you.
Hmmm , maybe she isn't as think as you stupid she is. 🙄
Make sure she doesn't look at the receipt!
Good point. I need to go Christmas present hunting while she's out tomorrow.
Lol, how old are you, the last time I pulled a trick like that was when I was into custom PC's, a spanking brushed aluminium lian-li full tower case arrives, my cohabiting girlfriend "how much was that, it looks expensive?"
Me: got a cheap deal, £80...
Some hours later my friend comes around, sweet case! Arn't they like £250?
Girlfriend goes full donald trump. All are sad.
21, of course.
I've got 3 bikes arriving next week- straight in the garage!
😀
Many years ago I bought my then girlfriend, now wife, a set of SPD pedals for Christmas. "But they won't fit my shoes" she correctly observed (she had Look pedals/shoes for her road bike).
"Ah, there's this" at which point I brought in the Sunn hardtail I'd managed to hide in the garden shed for three weeks. She'd been wanting a mountain bike for most of the year and had absolutely no idea I'd got her one 😆
😆
I do like DPD delivery, because I can get it re-routed to the local Halfrauds for collection .
Thus eliminating the inevitable "what have you bought now " conversation *
I work in Tanzania for 6 weeks at a time. So if I order anything online then it's almost certain that I won't be home for delivery. Just ordered two new lights and some winter gloves so I'll wait for the normal message next week of 'now what have you been ordering?'.
Last year I ordered a new weight bench, power cage, Olympic weight set and curling bar. 'Forgot' to tell my wife and she wasn't too happy moving it all into the garage 😆
