I'm in a pickle here too.
Lots of you know it's been a few years since Santa visited our house; Billy and I haven't exchanged gifts since 2004 (thank you Hurricane Katrina). Well, this year I've been trying to save some money in the paypal account that he didn't know about so I could get him something cool.
A couple weeks ago he found a really sweet old International pickup truck for a good price four miles away. He did some work on a mini chopper for a local kid and sold some parts and was trying hard to get the truck, but he was still a couple hundred short. I surprised him with a paypal transfer to the bank account and the necessary cash to complete the deal. Merry Christmas baby!!! :-D
Whew, I'm covered, I helped get him something cool that he wants.
He calls the guy the night before the transfer and talks for a half hour. He finds out he was misled about the title; it has some serious deal-killing issues that are going to outweigh the cost of the truck, and he changes his mind about buying it and hangs up.
I'm in the basement and hear him upstairs on the phone ... with Summit. Ordering a dual exhaust setup on the debit card. For my Cuda.
It's awesome and everything that he's trying to help me finish my car, but what didn't occur to him was that I now have no cash for his present since he's using it to buy MY present. LMAO!!!!! Anybody want to buy a PSC t-shirt??? I have a 3X I can auction off. :-D
WOMEN!!!! MEN!!!!!!!! Harumph!!! What're we gonna do with 'em???
