Getting Ripped off by Siegel's

2014-01-24

I'm going to admit right off the bat it was stupid of me to order a suit from the USA to Japan. The thing is the suit I wanted is not a common style and it was for a costume−ish party so I thought "what the heck". In my defense I did look around Japan. I found only 3 places that might have a similar suit. 2 in Tokyo, one in Osaka. But I wrote the one in Osaka and they never got back to me. I visited the 2 in Tokyo and they didn't have my size and I thought it would take them longer to get my size than to just order it myself. I guess though I should have listened to my first instinct.

Looking for a Backpack

2012-11-11

Today's spoiled consumer rant ... I'm looking for a new backpack. My old one is around 10 years old and fraying. I got it at Uniqlo back when they used to carry backpacks (they don't anymore). It's been great and I still use it. But, I carry my notebook PC more and more and it's less than smooth getting the PC in. It's got an inside pocket for a notebook but if the bag is full or if the area is cramped, like when I'm on a bus, then it can by hard to get the PC back in. Sometimes I end up just carrying it outside the bus until I have room to force the bag straight to get the PC to fit the pocket.

So, I'm looking for a new one and it's surprising with just a few, I would think, common sense requirements it's hard to find a bag.
