Walked out of TGG with a Puzzled Expression

Ok so im in the market for a new phone as my s5 didnt fair too well with the sudden stop from a imovable floor tile.

Not worth the repair which will cost me 260 or half that if I do it myself (parts on order) which will be the first screen ill repair and see how I go.

Anyway I was wanting a nive 5 inch min 720 screen handset with better specs then the s5 but must have nfc and rf is a plus.

Was looking at the nokia 3 and hard comparing to my note 2 but was settling on the nokia 5…. it had good battery life and specs all checked out well for me as im not a massive gammer on my device but I use for for a lot of things.

Well I was looking jb hifi, saw the deal for the XA but couldnt find any and settled for a budget of 700 whoch after a while of stuffing around found a nokia 5 and huawei mate 9 in thw firing line.

Sweet I say but at the local jb the sales staff prompts me on a sale for the pixle….. I told him id prefer a note because im use to using my note 2 and so a curved ball was thrown and he has some note 5s I can get for 500 brand new.

I told him ill have to look over the pixle and have a think about the note 5 and come back thenext day……..

Fast forward a few hours and I dropped my daughter off at dancing and went to the local TTGs to see what was on the market…… after listening to a staffer tell me how to use a notes s pen and while he was dictating to me im using it wrong I pulled my note 2 out and asked him to verify if im doing wright….. we had a good ol laugh at his expense then all of a sudden my wife shoots over tells the staffer she is board and he will take the note 8 with the free armor case and thats it.

So im walking back to the car now an owner of an note 8 which is twice the budget and the look on my wifes face tells me that she is going to shop and sho big pretty soon.

Has anyone had a similar wtf moment either online shopping or in a B n M store?

    So your wife decides - isn't it always the way? Straight up oppression!

      Deciding to get a wife could be the last decision you make.

    The hardest part of this story to believe or understand is that you have a wife and that you've procreated.

    Easy solution. Send me your note 8 and I'll trade you my Nokia 3 (your original option)

    Unless of course I misread this thread but I can't see how.

      Be careful, you might send him your Nokia 3 and he might instead send you his wife. Game over then.

  • OP, how much of this post is concern about your wife's future shopping? Or could you care less now you got twice what you thought you'd get?

  • Pingas!

    Yawn

    Wot

  • And the moral of the story is…?

  • +2

    I hope you treat your board wife to a "good shop and sho big" and your daughter enjoyed her dancing.

  • TL;DR

  • I don't understand the point of this story. Would you like me to write out every detail of the last item I purchased as well? Is that interesting now?

  • +3

    Sir, please don't ever write again.

    my brain hurts

  • Didn't know Ozb became a personal blog space for random ramblings remotely related to retail?
