Settle an argument..

[Pete]

Allow me to paraphrase;

Steve:
We need to make them fix this before we accept it so we don't get lost in the shuffle and end up paying for damaged furniture. Sure it will take 3 weeks longer but it beats getting ripped off.


Christy:

 

[kwillia]

C'mon, you guys are no fun. That's all the ribbing I'm going to take today? :shrug:




I've got 20 minutes until Happy Hour at the Tides, throw me a bone here.

You can afford happy hour at The Tides AAAAAAND new furniture...

 

[Christy]

You gonna buy me my first drinkie? :shrug: Oh crap..... no drinkie for me. Buy me my first iced tea?

Heck yeah! You coming over? I'll be there at 4:00 PM sharp. :martini:

 

[BadGirl]

Drinks and bar food is 1/2 price during Happy Hour. For what they pay me around here, doing the reduced drink and food thing is the only way I can afford to go to The Tides.

But of course daaahling. My side job on Great Mills Rd is really paying off.

Since it's only, like, 200 yards from where I am sitting right now, I really don't have an excuse to not stop by. See you in a few.

But as a warning, just because you buy me a drink doesn't mean that I'll put out.

Oh you'll put out. And you'll like it.

Christy:

And your point is? :shrug:

 

[dems4me]

You are such a man. Maybe you guys are not affected by being surrounded by dull neutral colors, but it makes me depressed and cranky.

And besides, delivering it is a HUGE inconvenience for the furniture place, and since I am inconvenienced by having waited forever anyway, everyone should share have to share in my misery.

this ought to settle it and help your case... I agree with Steve..

You want some, you got some. Steve, (husband) is always right. If he says for you to wait then damnit you should just listen to him and wait to get the sofa. I was brought up that women have three jobs, 1- cook, 2-clean and third is to have are babies. Least lay there for us to Man, is always right.

 

[Chasey_Lane]

I'm with Steve. Once you get it in the house, who knows how long it will be before they come to fix it. I'd probably tell them you want a new one, too, that isn't damaged.

 

[virgovictoria]

No, you are not. And screw repairing it...insist they give you NEW stuff.

Gotta go with Catt... sounds like a lemon - start from scratch, ditch the old<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNskw006' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_5_5.gif' alt='Trashcan' border=0></a>

IMO you paid (and waited for awhile from the sound of it) for a BRAND NEW sofa...not one that has a tear and will now need to be repaired. I would tell them to replace the sofa for a new one.

But what's the point of having an entirely new sofa built just to fix a tear in the fabric? :shrug: They plan on replacing the entire area of fabric that was damaged.

I want my couch dammit.

I want my couch dammit.

Happy hour didn't make you very happy...

 

[Christy]

Happy hour didn't make you very happy...

That's because I'm sitting here staring at Beige.

 

[Larry Gude]

Tell them you do not...

Our new furniture has arrived at the warehouse. Unfortunately it's damaged. Some of the cloth on the main sofa portion was damaged during shipping and needs to be repaired.

My preference is that they deliver it as is, and come repair it when they receive the repair kit (which they have no problem with). Steve's preference is that we live in beige hell for AT LEAST another three weeks and have it delivered when it has been repaired at the warehouse.

I am absolutely correct in my line of thinking am I not?

...want it at all. Had they offered to sell you damaged and repaired funiture to begin with and had you agreed, that is one thing.

They either need to deeply discount what they have for you or send you what you originally purchased; undamaged, new furniture.

You don't need, nor did you intrend to purchase any help in ruining your new stuff.

 

[Ponytail]

Throw a kid and one of the pigs in it to break it up a little. :shrug:

 

[vraiblonde]

That's because I'm sitting here staring at Beige.

Think of it this way: you're only going to have a brand spanking new couch for about 1 hour before some kid or dog messes it up. So you might as well hold off until they give you what you paid for - new, undamaged furniture.

 

[Ponytail]

I think now would be a good time for Steve to start an argument about the color of the new couch. SOMEBODY is trying to tell you something if it was damaged before you got it. It doesn't sound like it was meant to be. Don't fight fate. Stick with beige.
