The wrong side of Wife

It's not very often I witness a beast pounce on its prey. Luckily for me the cot we purchased from Toys R Us in York (UK) was damaged when we opened it today.

Not only was it damaged severally it was the wrong cot. The lad in the warehouse must of either had a nightmare or be as thick as a 2x4.

Given that the wife is 5 weeks away from her due date I knew this would be a major catastrophe and one that the customer service team at Toys R Us would never forget.

We had every right to complain - we drove 20 miles to get the cot from Harrogate. My amazing wife got on the phone as soon as she saw the problems and turned on the pregnancy card instantly, bombarding the poor women with half a sob story and abuse.

After a 10 minute strung out speak from the other half they offered us free delivery on the weekend in which we would get a replacement. That wasn't good enought as we had to wait!

So in the end we are going back to York this week to pick up our new cot and get hold of our free £70 good will jesture the customer service team gave my wife.

The moral of the story I guess is don't mess with a women who is in nesting mode! 

Won't being sexist here but I do think women like to complain more than men and it seems that they get the rewards from it so why the hell not!
