Title: Sometimes life gives you a chuckle when you need it.
Post by: Howard_Casto on May 15, 2015, 03:01:31 pm: I haven't had a particularly good day to day. When I have a bad day, I sometimes buy myself something. So I get this email from dealnews.com about a 4 dollar "speedometer" watch being sold through ebay. Cool! Even if it turns out to be crap I'm only out 4 bucks. So I buy it and an hour later I get this email. Pretty standard seller email until I see the address:

Seller
1111
service@catsuits-latex.com

So this month there will very likely be a bill from "service@catsuits-latex.com" on my credit card statement for 4 dollars. Sometimes it's the little things in life. ;D

I can only imagine the reaction from the credit card company's fraud prevention dept.... "Hey the guy that normally buys arcade parts and electronics just bought something from the s&m shop. Should we flag it? How much was it? 4 bucks. What can you buy from a s&m shop for 4 bucks?.... Nevermind I don't want to know."

Well it's supposed to be this:

I got the black one. I'm normally not too keen on novelty watches, but I liked how the hour was one dial and the minutes were another with light-up numbers and such.

Now that I know where I got it from, I'm thinking of wiping the thing in rubbing alcohol before I try it on.

:dunno

Yeah every weird company seems to be affiliated with DX. My theory, DX.com is actually the government-funded, people's democratic eBay of China. In other words DX.com IS China. ;)
