counterfeit/pirated stuff..i cannot stand it!!

[vash]

i've been trying to buy my wife gifts.

resorting to espionage to find out what she wants. (thanks PPOT)
found out she wants this certian perfume. piece o cake!! i search it out, gasp at the price..buy it.

then i hear my wife telling a friend.."only two authorized sellers of this stuff..."

seriously? WTF? i could have bought counterfeit fragrance. i search and search...i check the maker..yup..only two retailers..and they were CHEAPER!! !@#$!@$#!%$#!T!%$..i feel like an idiot and start jumping thru hoops to stop the order. my spidey sense start firing when i get the ship notification almost immediately. AHAHA! i got a hold of the seller, and get a return email..i just caught them in time. right before they handed off to shipper. they will honor my cancel request. PHEW!! i keep the email, just in case i have to present it to my CC company.

i am going to drive my ass into downtown san francisco, walk my ass past the valet, walk up to the fragrance counter and buy it face to face.

eff this potential piracy crap..i hate how we have to live under this specter. my friends have unknowingly bought crap BEATS headphones..Oakley glasses..

in my next life, i want to be an anti piracy cop.
