I travelled 50km today at a student's request to check out some 2nd hand pianos for this 'broke' student of mine. ( he can't afford a first hand exam model. )
It's a mass piano exhibition... like end of the year sale. And oh my! It's huge. Some 200 or so pianos there.
So, I spent the whole day there...and it's so hot inside...it's practically like an oven!!!
I played ALL the pianos there... to and fro... EACH and EVERY ONE of them all... 200!!!
Then I zoomed down to 5 more decent ones. And I told him to go take a look at those 5 when he's free.
He just called me... " I got a new piano at this shop near my house. I wanted you to come take a look with me, but I couldn't get you. So, I asked the piano technician ( his mum's friend) to come with me. He said the piano's good and ...blah, ya-di-da da..." what the heck!

I feel like asking him to go to HELL. I mean it!!!
And that darn technician too!
It's not the first time he's been making decisions for that boy! This is ridiculous. What am I? Cheap labourer? :angry:
What kinda idiot would travel 50km to and fro, sweat at 200 pianos for the whole day and still yet recovered from sore legs and fingers... Me. :angry:

Poor DW. Stay happy, maybe someone will ask you soon for a cheap piano, so you now know all about cheap models. And besides, it must have been a hard training with 200 different keyboards! And tell the boy, that he made you trouble.

ah, poor friend!

200 piano's?? That is really impressive! Did you make some pictures of them, standing in a row?

Driving 50 km for 200 piano's? And free playing all day? That is 250 meter for each piano, hehe! I should charge the sucker and his mom 1 euro for each kilometer and.... for each piano!!

I hate kids like that. But he may just be really out of it instead of being just a jerk. I've done some pretty stupid things as a kid before... Maybe I will make a topic called "Stupid Little Kids" in Members' Chat.
