Thread: My propensity for buying faulty goods continues.

It's been a while since I bought anything but I did last weekend.

To go with the new battery in my car (the old one failed in less than a year), I bought a new auto battery charger.

It would charge the battery and when complete, instead of going into float mode, it would switch off, then back on, and start the fast charge again.

Replaced under warranty.

I bought a solar light for the front of our place,lasted 4 months,took it back & got a refund.

Shopped around & bought an expensive one from Jaycar,stuffed in 2 months,can't find the docket.

So now we just wander slowly through the dark,that is, until i go shopping again for a solar light.

I bought a pair of high power Cree LEDs for the reversing lights on the Rangie. Scouse put me onto them.

They arrived today. One was in two parts. It's a good thing I only need one as the spare wheel covers the other one.

Knowing your limited abilities with this skillset, one would have thought Scouse could have shouted.

Imagine the havoc you could create.
The simple graffiti tag of "Ron was here" could ensure the consistent malfunction of whatever it was written on.

There's no point in yelling at him, besides making me feel better .

good god man... what a boon for mechanics imagine how much time we could save...

"excuse me could you help me fix this intermittant fault on my vehicle"

"sure mate hang on, "phone call.... "be with you in 10, for me to fault find you have to sell your vehicle to a bloke whose going to turn up shortly, then you'll buy the vehicle back from him with my fee added in ok"

"WTF......."

"you'll see"

a cup of coffee 10 minutes and an increasingly perplexed customer later

waves a man through the door "Hi, thanks for coming down, [customer] meet Ron the guy who your going to sell and buy your car to and from"

I think we all have the same "ability" to buy faulty goods.

What is being highlighted here is your "propensity" to buy faulty goods.

I'm just saying ......
