The case of the missing mattress

[z3r010]

While having a few drinks to celebrate Vistax64's 100,000th member on Friday, my wife took advantage of my drunken state and got me to order the new bed she has wanted for the past 10 years.

This morning the bed is delivered:- 3 boxes - 2x 8"x8" x6' and 1x 4' x 6' but no sign of the mattress

I phone the company who assure me that they have sent my mattress along with the bed, but said they would check with the delivery guys to find out where it is.

I decide to build the bed anyway while I wait for an update on the mattresses location, so I finish building the bed and still have one 8"x8"x6' box left I open it......it's the worlds thinnest mattress so I roll it out on the bed base and go outside for a smoke, I come back 5 mins later and it has expanded into a full size mattress bloody memory foam lol

I really don't want to phone them back now and tell then I have found it

This is a joke...right? It's real...! LOL

Use it as a backup mattress. Would have been nice if they labeled the box too.

 

[z3r010]

I would have expected it to be mattress sized not 1inch thick and rolled up in a box.

It seems to be fully expanded now and bloody comfy, but I still dont want to phone them and admit that I have it.

 

[mansrm81]

Have the wife call.

 

[z3r010]

Thats a plan

 

[Brink]

LOL, having the wife call sounds like a good idea.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Good luck...and sleep well....LOL.

 

[Joe]

I'll cast a vote for a wife call

 

[Joan Archer]

Typical man, pass the buck :huh:
I'll admit though that it will probably work as it will show just how thick men can be and I'm running for cover

 

[Ex_Brit]

Ouch! Rotfl.

 

[jfar]

You could tell them that I'll sleep on it and get back to you........????

 

[damoh]

Ebay mate if they send you another one

 

[4tthieves]

I'd say call them back and tell them that you eye glasses just need replacement. LOL,
I know how you feel,

Makes me think of the time when my wife paid an unreasonable amount for a 16 x 20 ft rug for the dinning room, well i called and raised,,,,,holy crap,,,, because the thing was only 15'8" x 19'8" without discussing it with my wife. Lucky for me i just told them that it was too small and not the size that my wife ordered, well when my wife got home i told her that i had called,,, she kindly inlightened me to the facts of rug sizes. I just called the company up and told them " my wife said that she still likes the rug, so i will just keep it"
man did i feel stupid.

Call um up man, tell them it's ok, you will just sleep on it without a mattress. lol

 

[skunksmash]

lol...... there's NO WAY i'd be ringing back, just say nothing, maybe you'll get a 2nd one for free....

I'm sure the wife will say it's her bed so let her deal with any issues to do with it short of that just keep schtum

 

[garysgold]

[Airbot]

I'm with Skunksmash, get a second one for free and stack it on the first one for added comfort.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Re; Your missing bedding.

Dear Mr. z3r010,

We are disturbed to be advised that the bedding ordered by you, has regrettably not been delivered as per your instructions. We apologise for the inconvenience.

From several other urgent calls made to our Company, we are further extremely disturbed to learn from your wife, who we might add sounded quite distraught at this misadventure, that you will need to spend yet another few nights in your existing and completely unsuitable bedding.

How that 'Saint' of a woman ever managed to enjoy a night of comfort and good sleep in a cotton Peruvian Hammock, beggars belief, and is cause for wonder at her spirit, endurance and inner fortitude. We are led to believe, that even Sepoys luxuriate in the comfort of a clean palliasse on the dirt floor.

One moment.......we have just received advice that this person, a Mr. w2q909 has signed and receipted delivery of the bedding in question.......and he is delighted with it! Do you know this man?


Sweet Dreams.
