That’s kind of what I thought. If I didn’t like something that I had returned for a refund, I don’t think it would have occurred to me to go shopping for another one, unless I was looking for another reason to dislike the original retailer.
Your privilege, though. Fair dos to you, and I’m glad you were able to find a better resource for your wife to use when shopping for timepieces. Cheers!
I explained to you why they have the policy. It is directly on topic in the thread. You however took that as a personal attack. So I’m sorry you took umbrage. But you are the one acting stupid here.
Not at all. I’m all for buying nice things. I’m not for buying silly shit that you would only use to impress the rubes. You can’t understand that because, I suspect you are one of those douchebags who like showing off to others. You probably couldn’t give a shit about workmanship, you just want Ted in accounting to drool over your watch. I didn’t think that of you at first, but the only people I’ve attacked in this thread are those sort of people and you are taking it personally.
I didn’t insult you, I insulted guido shitbirds who wear expensive shit as a symbol of status and power. If you’re a guido shitbird, I guess I did insult you.
There is a word for people like you, and it’s silly.
No I didn’t. I said I don’t approve of buying expensive jewelry to show it off.
I know that I attacked people who strut like a peacock and you took offense. Either you’re too stupid to see the distinction or you’re a strutting douchebag. I’m voting stupid, because I don’t see you as that shallow.
Again, instead of understanding you attack. You’re a child throwing a tantrum because you refuse to think.
I think you doth protest too much.
Your wife found the perfect gift for someone as uncomplicated and arrogant as yourself. Enjoy the watch and the wows it gives the onlookers.
If you’re attempting to draw a distinction between people who wear nice things because they like to and people who just want to show off, you’ve failed in your effort. You’re coming off as terribly judgemental about anyone who wears any bling for any reason.
Maybe instead of further insulting people for their lack of reading comprehension skills, you should take a look at your own communication skills.
Perhaps. I personally wouldn’t waste money on a $10k wristwatch, but I understand the like of something crafted very well. What I disdain is an adult man wearing our society’s equivalent of a gigantic penis-gourd. Ya dig?
I would note that SFP above’s response to my disdain of such frillery is that I must not be able to afford it. Doesn’t that seem like what a jerk would say?
Yeah, I dig. You just come off as not seeing that distinction very clearly. I’m sure that’s not what you intended to communicate, but that’s certainly how I read it, and I’m guessing I’m not alone in that.
Question: When you see a man wearing a bit of bling, do you automatically assume that he’s trying to impress people and that deep down he’s shallow? Or do you give him the benefit of the doubt?
I wouldn’t judge anyone without knowing something substantive about them. I’d assume someone with a very expensive watch was fairly wealthy unless I knew otherwise, I suppose.
I’m guilty of spending too much time writing a reply to an annoying child.
Oh, and hitting the “Submit Reply” button.
His entire appearance in this thread was to annoy. I was pissed at Tourneau when I wrote the original OP, and then I read a reply from some asswipe that implied my wife was a douchebag for buying the watch (since it was a gift, and I didn’t ask for it, I guess she would qualify by said asswipe’s definition).
I am also guilty of FTT. Perhaps **Lobohan **will be different once he gets through puberty. But I doubt it.
You’re guilty of being stupid. Re-read my first post. I said that the store has the policy because lowlifes would target a store like that. I in no way said your wife is a lowlife. You’re just too stupid to understand that some dogs are Mastiffs, but not all of them.
I don’t know your wife, but I suspect she’s a saint.
Your first sentence was all that was required. Your second sentence was you stating your opinion on what type of people buy high-end watches.
When I asked you to explain your second sentence, you spewed this nonsense:
You still think you just answered the OP? You are a weird person.
You have used, in this thread on more than one occasion, things like “strutting like a peacock”, “baubles”, “rubes” and “douchebag”. So it appears that you have, among other things, (and aside from an incredible vocabulary) high-end watch envy.
I can’t help it if you don’t have a job, or a job that pays enough to buy nice things, or someone in your family that can afford to buy nice gifts for you.
But don’t for a minute try to tell any one that your “interest” in this thread is to do anything more than try to get a reaction out of people. You add nothing. Probably similar to your real life experience.
I’m going out now… New Year’s Eve and all that. I’m sure there will be a nice reply from you in this thread the next time I look. You seem intent on having the last “word”. So enjoy yourself. Even if you have to type with one hand.
I notice that you attack instead of understanding. Why do you assume that the only reason someone might not want a 10k watch is envy or sour grapes?
I’ve just gotten back from my new years party and you know, there were douchebags wearing expensive watches trying to impress shallow women.
Imagine my surprise.
Again, SFP, you’re not thinking. You seem incapable of understanding that some douchebags are drawn to expensive watches. That in no way suggests that everyone who buys an expensive watch is a douchebag.
It’s surprising that you have the nerve to come to a site that particularly is about fighting ignorance when you cannot understand that to say that some doors are red in no way means all doors are red. You don’t belong here if you’re too stupid to understand that.
Montblanc Nice watch(I like to think so. I bought it at the Tourneu sample sale last year for about 25-50% less than I’ve seen it offered anywhere else.)
