I hate my uncle

Theres a box downstairs from WE and I know FULL well inside it there is a 5D II and a 24-70 2.8 in it....

My uncle mentioned something about sorting out the above gear for me during the week as he has ordered his and said he'd 'come over and chat' about getting the same for me... (I didn't ask for it btw, I NEVER would he just offered on the spot)

Problem is I don't know if there are 2 in the box and he's told me not to open it

I hate my uncle

He's point blank refusing to tell me if the contents of that box belongs to me or not

I.E. He's teasing me

Take your mind off it and send the parcel to me. I'll let you know whats inside when I get it.

How big is the box? and how heavy is it?

24-70 = 1kg

5Dii including everything is about 1.5kg

Not hard to work out...

If he's teasing you and it's not yours he's an absolute... ummm.

Infact I do, but he's a tight ****

Well I know what he ordered and the box is definitely heavy enough to contain atleast that and I don't have any scales here.

I feel so sorry for you. The pain must be unbearable.

1- Find identical box
2- Fill box with weighty items
3- Wait for Uncle to leave and take box
4- ?????
5- Profit.

Yeah.. Hate.. That's what this is..

Phate · 18 Dec 2009 at 16:57

I just rang him asking if I can open the box and he laughed and hung up on me

Felix Da Housecat · 18 Dec 2009 at 17:06

Just open it.

No wait it might be a trick, send it to me and I shall let you know what it wasn't.

Going from the above, surely it means you will be getting one sooner or later. Don't "hate" him for not telling you either way right now, just sit back and enjoy the fact that you are getting one at all

Ofcourse I don't hate him, I intended the thread to be a bit tongue in cheek, because everyone knows how much I want a 5d2
