AIBU or is three grand too much for pans?

[GeraldineAubergine]

I went to a collegues house recently to see s

Eh?????

You spend 4 HOURS watching pans being demonstrated????!!!! Don't you have any of your own to play with?

Tell pan seller to take a hike 'cos you ain't got the dosh and, even if you did have, you'd expect £3k pans to do the shopping, prepare & cook the food, serve it with a smile, clear up afterwards, and put selves in dishwasher.

Someone will be along in a minute with 'tell pan seller to fuck off to far side of fuck and then fuck off some more' etc; in the meantime I suggest you convey that message to the work colleague who signed you up for ordeal by pan and warn other mugs colleagues that their valuable time will also go down the pan if they're silly enough go along with it.

Needless to say, cross the arsehole work colleague (who'll stand to make a big fat commission on any sales) off your Christmas card list.

Even when very drunk I have never felt the urge to add strongly tasting vegetables into perfectly normal cake! Nor am I prone to absentmindedness (ooh whoops I just put some olives in with the lemon drizzle cake!)

So that wouldn't be a major selling point for me.

My late grandad (fantastic character) managed to scare off the Kirby vacuum man. He had practically his whole house inc mattresses vacuumed by the salesperson, then tried to book for them to come back. They beat a hasty retreat, they were knackered after all that cleaning!

Oh God, some of the replies on here have made me cry with laughter.
Yanbu btw.

Seriously - has anyone ever bought these pans? who the fuck would do that? I thought my 1 pan a year le creuset habit was extravagant!!

You must get the cabbage cake recipe from your colleague so we can all try it out.

It's probably 3 grand rrp but they can have a word with their manager and do you them for the special price of £30 if you buy them today. And the handles will fall off.

Remind us of the Paddington episode? please

I didn't know it would be four hours of pan madness when I went, but you are right and I should be a bit more assertive when invited to this sort of thing. I'm the ideal person to rope into schemes I'm both gullible and overly polite. I'm pretty sure a few people have actually bought the pans. Mad.

The Kirby guy made me laugh Onepiece. He was trying to do this sales technique and I kept saying how broke we were. He wouldnt believe me until I showed him my bathroom - which was a shell of a room with a big hole in the floor and a bath balancing on bricks over it!

Was pissed that someone that pleaded poverty and owed me £700 bought one though, and then sent them our bloody way!

We sent them to the nearby pub and got their floors cleaned for free

Hairy, she did say if I put all 3k on my card today and not split the payments into 33 easy payments of 200 pounds, I could have the £900 electric skillet for free. And a pan cleaning cloth.

Laughing at magic pans.

£3k for magic pans maybe.

£3k for 7 normal pans? You've got to be fucking kidding.

Just say no.

@ smokinaces.

My grandad saw a loophole and fancied having the house vacuumed weekly for free but after not being able to get away for hours the Kirby man cut his losses! In fact I don't think he even came to the street again.

They don't even clean themselves????

I just googled it anothermum - fantastic, especially the broken up marmalade sandwich!

That is one confident woman if she thinks she can persuade anyone to pay three million pounds for a tiny egg cup.

Who dreams up this bollox?
I keep seeing the poor Aloe Vera pyramid marketing mugs at various fetes. They only make any real money when they recruit 'under-sellers' . Scam, scam, scam. The product is NOT the the thing making money.

A free pan cleaning cloth! Bloody hell I hate drip feeding posts, BUY them at once!

3k is reasonable for a second hand car, an all inclusive holiday during school holidays, a small wedding, some lovely new furniture or a new bathroom suite.

Unless the pans can do all that I would decline.

YABVVVU! how dare you deprive your family of the benefit of meals prepared in 3K pans - cost makes -all- the difference viz:

'did you just order a five dollar shake?'
'sure did'
'a shake, milk and ice cream?'
'uh huh'
'it costs five dollars? just checking.'

(from the pulp fiction school of decision making in purchasing)

I remember that Paddington episode

Wonder if it is on youtube...
