Okay so in my post yesterday I gushed to you all about my excitement at the arrival of Jason's new, much sought after Columbia jacket but at the time, it had merely been delivered. I decided to wait for Jason to get home to open the box so he could have that moment of excitement and sense of accomplishment at finding "the jacket".
Well, needless to say it didn't go so well. Jason opened it last night as I sat by with bated breath. He unwrapped the jacket and there it was in all its glory. A Columbia Titanium Blade Runner Parka in Black/Steel. So he goes to the bathroom where the light is better to try it on, he unzips it and there, on the inside (to our shock and disgust) is a chewed up piece of green, spearmint chewing gum. Of course, it is on the fleecy part of the jacket where it is nice and entrenched in its place.
I mean, COME ON PEOPLE!!! We have looked for this coat for years and finally find the perfect one and it has nasty, disgusting chewing gum on the inside??? What are the odds????
Anyway, I talked with store we bought it from in North Carolina and they apologized profusely but of course are sold out of that particular coat (which has now been discontinued by the way) so they offered Jason an even nicer jacket to replace it and a small refund. So now Jason is getting a Columbia Titanium Evergreen 3 in 1 Parka. Let's hope it lives up to all the hype or I may never hear the end of it!!!
Who knew jackets were so hard to come by?
