Something concerning buying stuff.

My parents say that if I get a GPA of 4.0 in the second trimester of school, they would buy me a $2,500 globe chair. Then I said I wanted an XBOX360 instead, but they said they would rather buy me the chair because the 360 falls under the category of Games.

Oh well.

My guess is either they're not counting on you getting a 4.0 anyway, or they happened to win a globe chair that they don't know what to do with.
 
I can't believe your parents would blow $2,500 on a globe chair. Tell your parents that the 360 is much less expensive and you will get much more use out of a 360 than a globe chair.

Did you know that you can no longer get the RROD on new 360s?

I think they know that the 360 is more than 2x cheaper than the chair. They just don't want me to have anymore consoles or just games in general.

@Monkat(Too lazy to quote. :P)

You're right, they probably don't expect me to get a GPA of 4.0.

PLEA TO MODS:
Please provide a sarcasm tag... Please!!!
 
But seriously, a $2,500 CHAIR?
And I'm sure their is something else you can ask for that you want besides a chair and games.
 
A chair? Really? Why do your parents think a silly overpriced chair would be exciting enough for you to bust your butt extra hard to obtain a 4.0 average, just to receive......a chair? I mean, you DO have chairs at your house, right? Your feet ain't hurting are they? You can sit down at your house any time you want, right? Your family isn't one chair short or anything like that are they? You know, where one person always has to stand if everyone is home?

Do you have any pics of this illustrious $2,500 globe chair? I looked up "globe chair" and what I saw didn't really look worth more than $50, if even that much. I wanna see this $2,500 chair.

I know! Just to spite them, get a 3.9 average and then go :cry: WAH! I'm not gonna get my chair now, am I?

:rofl2:


My guess is that they are just messing with you and were really just trying to find out what you wanted for Christmas or something.

Maybe that's why? LOL, it doesn't make sense to spend such an outrageous amount for a chair, though

Well, it's on a sale now. I never asked for the chair, they just brought it up.[/quote]

Im sorry bro but that chair is for lack of a better word GAY! Please no one take offence to me using the term fore I am drunk right now.

If I were you I'd tell them that I am going to fail the next semester if even think about buying me a chair like that and if still do buy it I would then run away from home.

peace out dudes.

edit: due to drunkenness.
 
What is the issue here? You get the grade - you get the chair. Thats the deal. mommy and daddy don't wan't you to have the evil xbox360. Just ask for something more useful than the chair... like a iphone, ipad, a vacuum-robot, a ice-cream maker, a slap-chop... Already have all these? oh just too bad

Did you know that is only because they removed the red ring of LEDs, not because they actually fixed the problem?
 
I was going to say just that. :lol:

Also, at some later point you could just sell the chair...
 
... Why not ask them for the money they would spend on the chair instead? $2500 would certainly get me studying a bit more. I'm not sure how anyone could justify spending that much on a chair unless they literally have more money than they could spend in their lifetime. I lol'd when the "people who viewed this product bought..." section featured several similar chairs for ~$30.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
