Check your ram too. If he stole one thing he probably stole more. Not uncommon for scummy repair shops to swap out ram sticks if they think nobody will notice.

We artistic types can be very sensitive at times 😉 Give him time, he will be ok. He's hurt, but not as deeply as you think. Just be genuine about your thoughts and feelings about it all.

And pretending he can't cancel the order he made. Lowkey putting the onus onto L when it's not her order to cancel to avoid being responsible for the order going through. Telling her to keep them before even speaking to wife. Cares more about L inconveniencing herself than how this might appear to his wife.

All super wrong moves.

you think everyone who owns a PC knows how to repair it themselves?

Once it’s cancelled, I’d tell your wife. It’s a hilarious story! Hope it works out.

Why would you own a k processor if you don’t overclock?

'keep them' is where you went wrong.

I thought this was gonna be filled with more drama, like accusations and revelations of OP cheating on his wife

Yeah Amazon will cancel it. Hit up their chat and explain the situation.

Agree with you about the BBB. If anybody decides they want to try to take a chance with an organization WITH teeth, your state Attorney General's office may be able to help out. Rember, every business must be licensed before they operate and maintain the "permission" of the government to keep their doors open. It looks like he might have jumped the gun and finally found that he fooled himself. Ny message to him, Have you learned anything about your trust issue? All's well that ends well, yes?

This. All of this. It's an honest mistake. Anyone else would've just said "ah shit", had it canceled, laughed with the wife about it, and bought her some things from her list.

Or, alternatively, you could get her things for her birthday without her having to provide a list. There's nothing you know she likes that you could get for her without her asking for it?

Amazon can definitely cancel that - especially if the merchant is not contactable. Though if you bought the item it would be you needing to contact them I would assume. But, as I say, L always has the option of refusing the delivery anyway.

Cop breathalyzed me twice to be sure

Some people (not me nope not me) don't have access to the internet all the time. Some people (again totally not me) work jobs that are remote and if you wanna wank you may need to download beforehand so your not stuck staring at extra curvy trees.

I appreciate the comment and I will try customer service.

Me and my wife's friend both tried to cancel it via the app but it just comes up saying order already dispatched, need to contact merchant.

I’m impressed that you fest up. Proud of you. We all make mistakes. How else can we learn?

It's Amazon. You can 100% cancel it if it has not been delivered. You can chat to customer services if not. L can refuse the delivery. There's lots of options here.

The only odd thing here is telling L she can keep them instead of any inconvenience. Or that you'd keep it a secret. Both them things sound 100% dodgy and if your wife found out she'd surely assume the worst.

I'm not sure how anyone could be unable to distinguish between something racist and something that's not.

Did you send something that negatively disparages a race or group of people? Then it's racist.

Failure to communicate plus ADD and anxiety does not go well

You gotta shake your jowls when you say it, like a bloodhound with a bone.

Good on you for admitting you fucked up. It happens.

Also could be he never actually had a 7700k and thinks he did. Depends how tech savy he is.

This edit makes this the best post I've seen so far in November
