I Caved

[rowyn]

For a $1000 off and a fix of the garage door opener's safety switch.

*sigh*

At least it'll all be over soon.

I know how you feel. I caved on my phone, because I really wanted it and was very tired of the hassel. Eventually you get over the extra money you had to spend but didn't want to spend. Well, financially that expenditure didn't bother me, still... there's that taken feeling.

Grr. Hugs. Sleep on the laundry.

Yeah, it's the "taken" feeling that gets me more than the money itself. Money's only money. But getting conned stings.

There's a difference between getting conned and not wanting to play chicken

Every day, millions of people go to bed at night without saying "if you don't give me a 20% raise, I quit" to their bosses even though they might have been tempted. Some of them would have gotten that raise if only they had been willing to try a little brinksmanship. The problem with brinksmanship is that sometimes the other side has it too. I wouldn't look forward to a game of chicken with two "winners."

You haven't been conned just because you didn't have Evil Kineval's risk tolerance.
