Luke Likes 'I Buy It'

OK, so from time to time, I do, I do, I buy it. I buy it, and from time to time, I return it. I return, I buy, and I take it back to the shop. Because I am not happy with the product, I am not happy with the product.

Sometimes I buy it, and I don't really get it, I don't really get it. And that's really, really, really disappointing, disappointing. So I'm disappointed, disappointed.

It isn't this week, it isn't this week. It was last week and I need, I need a new mic stand, mic, what's the name? Oh, arm, boom arm. But it's a stand, a new mic, microphone stand.

So what do I do? What do I do? Of course, I go online, online shopping. So I choose the right one. Perfect, beautiful, new stand. And what do I see? The price is good, the price is good. And the delivery is from two to five days, the delivery. So I will get it after two to five days, working days, working days.

And that's not good, that's not good because of Christmas. And I need it, of course, obviously, obviously, I need it before Christmas. I want my mic stand, I want my mic stand.

So I go out and visit my local shop and think I can find it and I can choose it over there. And I have it before Christmas, before Christmas. So I go and ask this shop assistant, 'hey, do you have this stand? I'm looking for this specific stand, I need it'. And she says, 'hmm, I will check it, I will check it.'

So she goes on her little computer and she is searching for the product. And she tells me, 'yeah, we don't have it right now, we can order that for you.' Yeah, sure, when do I get it? 'Yeah, you can get it from two to five days.' Plus it is 20% more expensive, it is 20% more expensive. Oh no, oh no, thank you, thank you. 'Thanks anyway, thanks anyway', that's what I say, thanks anyway.

Oh my, okay, but it is not the end, it is not the end. So the delivery is again, two to five days, it's too long. I come back home, I come back home and the next day I check online again. I check again the website, the website, thesame, same website.

What do I see? What do I see? Delivery guaranteed, guaranteed, before Christmas. Order now, order now and pick up, pick up, so you can get it, you can pick it up at the local shop, in one hour, in one hour.

And then I think this is perfect, I order now and I go back to the shop. Maybe the next day, it's okay, I can give them one day. I come back to the shop the next day, just before Christmas. And what happens?

Hmm, okay, so in English this is this fantastic phrase, this fantastic phrase, so 'it turns out', it turns out, so it happens, so you are all surprised, you are surprised, it turns out, it turns out I still don't have it. I still, after five days, I still don't have it. The shop doesn't have it, the website doesn't have it. Nobody has it. I feel so disappointed.

I don't know what to say. And I think I don't buy it again. I don't need the stand, the mic stand. I'm okay with my old stand. I am over this, I am over this. So I have enough, I am disappointed. I am not buying that.

Oh, I'm sure you have the same experience. You have the same experience, especially before Christmas. Yeah, but what can you do? What can you do? Nothing. Oh.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
