How many times did you see the Grateful Dead perform live? (The Grateful Dead is the band which existed between 1965 and 1995, consisting of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart [except 1971-74], and various keyboard players, none of whom died in bizarre gardening accidents. Reunion and spin-off bands, such as The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur, Dead & Company, etc. don’t count.) _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6130))_ ---

You’ve heard your spouse talking about how he/she wants a particular thing - clothing item, electronic device, kitchen gadget, home appliance, etc. Now you suddenly spot a good deal for that thing; it’s at a very big discount - but still, costs several hundred dollars. Problem is, only 1 is available, and it will be snatched away by other shoppers in seconds if you don’t buy it now. At the same time, you aren’t sure that your spouse _actually_ truly wants the thing - whether it was a serious desire or just a quick admiring comment. If you try to consult them by texting or calling them to confirm, other shoppers may snag the item, which is highly coveted by them too. The item is non-refundable once purchased. You cannot reserve it by putting it in your cart (physical or online) while you contact your spouse. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6144))_ ---
