Nowadays I seem to get several a week.

Though his example is a humdinger; a small package arrived this morning, hmm I wonder what this is, I'm only expecting large boxes. 

Opens it up, oh it's a funny mp3 player, thinks ..... oh I had that on my ebay watchlist, confusion. :huh:

Gets around to checking my mail,... right I'd been in correspondence with a seller to buy a battery powered audio amp that had finished with no buyers.
......
Ah, the moment of realisation, both the sellers IDs begin "vic..." presumably their names, I'd been exchanging emails with one of them thinking I was buying the amp off the other seller, when instead I was buying the mp3 player from this one.  :frusty:


So have you had any senior moments ?

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I loved it when I began to get called sir.  Like I want some jackass getting presumptuous or familiar with me at the drug store.  Know your damn role and all that.

I read this title as teachable moments at first, so I guess this qualifies as a senior moment.
