    it just seems like you're way too upset about this when the whole issue would've never happened had your wife not been so careless with such a valuable piece of property. if it were me, i'd chalk this up as a learning lesson instead of a 664 word essay followed up by 22 more posts on the subject. just my two cents that i'll leave here as i don't really have any desire in getting in yet another back and forth with you.

    I posted this, not my wife. My wife has nothing to learn; she knows not to be careless with valuable property. Unfortunately she made a mistake and the critics gathered here seem to think that, because of that, she deserves whatever crappy treatment she receives.

    Well **** on that.

    I'm not upset. Convicted yes. I was barely involved. I never talked to the lady or met her. My wife was frustrated when Camera Lady was late and she didn't answer her phone. Then she called me on the way home and told me how rude the lady was to her... thrusting the camera recklessly at her. I would call that acting guilty.

    I'm totally baffled that so many here act like they would take this kind of ****ty treatment from someone who has their valuable property. Frankly, I don't believe it for a minute. This place is just full of critics.

    I'll stand up for what's right and it seems abundantly clear in this scenario. Death in the family. Job Loss. Illness. None are a sufficient excuse to not make a simple 1-minute phone call and let all parties involved know what is going on.

    Of course there is zero evidence that any of this was an issue. She told my wife about nothing when they made the appointment. All the testiness came when she had to come back to the shopping center because they couldn't find each other and my wife couldn't reach her by phone. That, too, smells of guilt.

    The inconvenience my wife experienced was 100 times greater than hers and a great bit of that was the anxiety caused by this woman not making a simple phone call when she should have.

    i advise if you're still mad about this issue (and you clearly are), to phone the lady and talk it out with her. however, she'll most likely think she did nothing wrong.

    it's honestly just a personality issue, some people are more laidback and less detail oriented, while other people are more organized and urgent in taking care of matters. and you can't change someone's personality or behavior, not over a lost camera anyways, so just chillax and move on with your life.

    The lady threw the camera at his wife I don't blame him for being a bit angry.

    I don't think making the thread means he's just sitting at home angry about this. He just made a thread about it, no big deal

    Good manners are just a way of showing other people we have respect for them.

    Unfortunately, not all of us had them instilled by our elders.

    If you call for an apology, be sure to set up clear definitions on what an acceptable apology entails before she digs herself into a deeper hole.

    Are you stupid, stubborn or both? So glad that you've never made a mistake. You have this wonderful punishment mentality that will take you a long way in life.

    I don't think it's that big of a deal. There was some bad judgments, friction, but eventually she got her camera back.

    Personally as soon as I read the word "camera" on the OP, I thought this thread was going to be about racy contents in that camera. A little disappointed? Maybe.

    I really like how Scarlett Johanssen's boob moves when she puts the popcorn in her mouth.

    I've seen that gif several times and I never noticed that. May be the first time in history someone didn't notice Scarlett Johanssen's boobs.

    Did you or your wife at least show some sort of appreciation for her time and saving you guys $1000?
