Tell us some of your stories about getting the shaft

I always thought that there was a sense of humor here on IW. We just had to dig in the manure to find it.

A twin bought with quarters....hmmm, now that is a LOT of quarters. :lol: :lol: :lol:

My Dad told a story of two little boys, 1 had a bad attitude, 1 had a good attitude. Both were placed in separate rooms. B A boys room was filled toys and G A boy room was filled with manure. After a day they were checked on, B A boys toys were all broken and he was crying. Opened the door to G A boys room and he was smiling and digging in the manure. Ask why the smile, he said, with all this manure there has to be a pony in here someplace.

I actually enjoyed that. I just told the story to my wife.

I had to explain it wasn't a joke though :huh:

Sorry, life isn't all sunshine and lollipops. Whatever you get into there are going to be some bad apples, that's why we have those big places called prisons and jails. I end to be a trusting soul in this hobby/sport but yes, I've gotten the shafteroo a couple of times but have had many more great experiences than bad.

If I were ever to give someone a raw deal, I'd expect it to be all over every RC boat forum there is. Sometimes all a man has is his reputation.

I must have been lucky or careful, but everything I have purchased from this site has always been as described and delivered on time. I have only ever one someone pull out of a sale but he did refund my money in full.
