The actual cost is much higher actually... b/c my wife was kinda pissed off starting at racquet #6, and we put together an agreement that each racquet I buy will result in a 200-dollar fine.
LOL..luckily i didn't have to pay any fine.But still,my GF really pissed whenever i just bought a new racket.Esp after she bought me an AT900T..she said,ain't u happy with racket i bought for u?I said,of course i am..it's proven that i don't really dare to use the racket for doubles..unlike the rests.LOL..
hahahahaha, a 200 buck levy on top of a 200 buck racquet? i guess it's only fair, you should treat her as well if you're going to treat yourself.
tell you what you should do, buy her a new pair of shoes, and then ask her every time she buys another pair, 'aren't you happy with the shoes i bought you?', and see what she says. then you can always use her excuse every time you get a new racquet.
That is brillant! I tried that too, but she said shoes, clothes, make-up stuffs... etc needs to be different daily...
Tell her a racket needs to represent ur closest mood and be wary when you use a red racket cuz she might get a good spanking =P (make sure u have a red racket in stock)
use my excuse, my racquet needs to match the colour of my (please circle where appropriate, more than 1 if necessary): a) shirt b) shorts c) shoes d) underpants e) hair f) eyes g) watch h) socks i) wristband j) others .... please specify otherwise my game suffers.
Here's my lame excuse.. : 'I found out that the one you bought me was a fake ( though it's real ).' Then the gf might buy another one.. lol, but this is cunning xP
Even if she throws it away.. there's a chance that she'll buy a better one. eg: she buys an at300 the first time. she is convinced that it's fake, then buys a real at900p from a very reputable shop.
This won't be useful in my case,since i was the one who's choosing the racket.If i said it was a fake,then she'll be really mad at me,after spending a 1000rmb for something fake..
ahahaha, yeah, that'd be bad. honey, you know the racquet you bought me, which i chose? well, it's a fake, can you please buy me another? *smack*
"I'm so glad that u'd admit that u r a stupid **** in choosing racket"..no more racket for u in the future.
"So, even you can not tell the difference in the 1st place. So, from now on, you are allowed to buy fake only."
