carvidep Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I've been following this thread, and all of the replies make me giggle. ...but I agree with all of them. He's not nice. Santa wouldn't have given him a digicam, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Author gcgchica Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thank you guys for your continued unbiased opinions and responses!! I truly appreciate it. Check this. Last night we were talking on the phone (I'm still on vacation), and we were discussing the whole camera situation, still whining that I ruined Christmas....blah...blah...blah. He also still swears that he had never heard of the Olympus brand. He says that he checked the Walmart website and that they only had ONE---ONE YA'LL--- Olympus camera on their site. He said...'So if a big company like Walmart only had one, then it couldn't be a popular brand.' I had no idea what Walmart had on their site, because I bought it at Target. WELL......... I wasn't near my laptop to verify when he said that, so I sucked it up and let it ride, however I just checked Walmart's site a little while ago. There are at least 20 Olympus cameras on Walmart's website!! I'm just like wow. Should I let him know that he is full of shyt.. (can we cuss on here? ), or should I just chalk it up, walk away and leave it alone. His true colors are definitely shining through. I foresee the single life for me in the near future.

sweetjasmine Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Wow, he's really acting like quite the jerk. Is he one of those people who can't ever be wrong about anything or is he deliberately trying to make you feel bad? Link to post Share on other sites
Author gcgchica Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Wow, he's really acting like quite the jerk. Is he one of those people who can't ever be wrong about anything or is he deliberately trying to make you feel bad? I believe that it's more of the latter. I'm actually feeling really disgusted and borderline depressed right now. I'm so sick of trying to do things right and having stuff like this happen. It's time for me to go back into bytch mode.

hoping2heal Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Um he is STILL on about this? I see more red flags than an indy 500. Wait, those are checkered flags aren't they..Okay so bad analogy. Point is this, there IMHO is something seriously charachter defective with the kind of person, who would not only equate Christmas with fancy gifts (which I'm not a big tech-head and "I" have heard of Olympus several times) but continue to PERSUE the matter and hound you with it. I mean just WOW. The nerve? Really, the nerve. What is his address? I will gladly send him a kodak disposable camera and call him toots. Like really? Looked on Wal Marts website, really? What the hail is a matter with a person that they do that?? SERIOUSLY. Link to post Share on other sites
2sunny Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 he's PURPOSELY being mean and nasty - THAT'S what's the matter with him. just for kicks - tell me what he bought YOU for Christmas???? Link to post Share on other sites
JustLooking123 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Wow! Just wow! First of all, Olympus is a major brand; if he really hasn't heard of it, that says more about him than it does about the brand. Second, what an ungrateful, insensitive jerk! I'd send him an email with the link to Walmart's numerous Olympus camers just to rub it in, then dump him. You don't need someone like this in your life. Link to post Share on other sites
Miad's Princess Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 just for kicks - tell me what he bought YOU for Christmas???? You already asked her that on page 1 and she told you on page 2 OP IMO he doesn't deserve you or your gifts, who cares that he had never heard of the brand as others have said he could have researched it and not by going to a walmart site.

stillafool Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello all, This is my first post. I registered because I had to get someone else's unbiased opinion who could relate to long distance relationships and various situations. Long story short--- My so and I were not able to spend Christmas together, so I sent him a lot of gifts. One of the gifts was an Olympus digital camera. Apparently he opened his gifts around family and when he unwrapped the Olympus camera, he and others stated that they had never heard of an Olympus brand digital camera. Then he said he took pictures and the pictures were horrible. Then he continues on about how he had never heard of the Olympus brand...maybe it was a local brand...he's never seen any commercials...etc...etc. Well, my feelings were hurt because I put a lot of time into selecting his gifts. My research stated that Olympus was a decent digital camera. Anyway my being upset turned into this huge argument, and we ended up having this bad fight. He said that brand names don't mean anything to him, however the fact that I had given him an Olympus camera, some unknown brand to him, was the first thing that came out of his mouth. Had he just mentioned that his camera took horrible pictures then I would have been okay with that. It shouldn't matter if the camera is an Olympus, Sony, Nikon, Kodak or whatever! I actually had purchased a Nikon but returned it to get the Olympus. I told him that I would send him the gift receipt to exchange it for something else, but he said that's okay---don't worry about it and that he would keep it. Please respond because this is really bothering me. He said that this is the worst Christmas ever that he has spent with me---because of this argument over this camera. Was I wrong for being upset? How rude of him!!!! Olympus is a good brand. They are the ones who are ignorant as hell! I swear I would break up with him over this. I wouldn't care if someone gave me a "plain wrap" camera, I would be grateful because they didn't have to buy me anything. I hate people like that. What did he buy you?

Mary3 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I think he is LYING about not knowing Olympus. I have owned an Olympus since 2000 and its takes the most AMAZING pictures ! As a matter of fact , since that purchase , I have purchased 2 newer digi cameras and actually returned one and have kept one. Recently I thought I had LOST my Olympus but turns out I found it. While I thought it was lost , I was devastated. THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME ! Now I realize there might be better cameras....But your so called bf has said pimple faces appear. I have played with many a camera and have never seen what he is talking about. I think he is LYING about the pimple faces. Lying about the Walmart site not having but one camera on there and I think he is being a JERK ! Now Question : How long have you been in a LD Relationship with him ? How far away do you live ? THIS IS MY TAKE : He thought the Olympus was a piece of junk , maybe someone laughed at it in his family... JERK O METER : HIGH Link to post Share on other sites
81West Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Send him this link: http://cameras.about.com/od/manufacturers/a/Olympus.htm and tell him 10 out 10 strangers surveyed think he's being a complete tool. Link to post Share on other sites
