how do i make husband ok with me buying $300 phone when we are poor right now??

the answer is blow jobs.

Now, what's the question?

Buy him one, too!

(also get him an iPhone)

chicago kevin already gave correct answer. Plan B is, "But with all the Google Maps GPS I'll be doing, it will pay for itself!"

Buy the 8GB and then tell him you've saved $100!

tell him about flush headphone jack

OK, I see that Chicago Kevin has it covered.

What? If you two are "poor", then I'm on Ethiopia-level poverty.

Anyway, blowjobs.

why does it look like it has internet explorer?

Dylan got it wrong, huh

he just phrased it differently

or he stood outside.

Look, if you can afford the $720/year in service fees, then the iPhone is cheap by comparison.

I'm still debating whether to upgrade to this or the AT&T Tilt.

My current contract runs out in three weeks. Should I wait and transfer my number without the steep cancelation fees, or get the iPhone now with a new number?

I can't reason right now. All I can think is, "WANT".

fuck want

OK, I see that Chicago Kevin has it covered.

Location, location, location, blowjobs?

Tell him it was only £150 or 150 euros!

I was a little embarrassed about buying another pair of trousers the other day, so I took something else to the dry cleaner and then put the new trousers next to it. Like "oh, I haven't worn these in forever, good thing I've got them cleaned and ready to go again."

So, umm, take a coat to the dry cleaner and then be all like "holy crap, someone left an iPhone in the pocket, guess I might as well sign up for the service. BTW also I got mugged and lost $300 but aren't you glad I'm okay, k thnx"

thats pretty good! I clearly need some female input though. Preferably something not involving the trade of sexual favors for apple products.

Nabisco, can you condense this post in ten words? My brane can only take so much info.

Shorter nabisco: "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."

Actually I think the nugget there was "pretend you already had one."

Other options:

- per above, say you always had an iPhone, but it was broken, and now you took it in to get it fixed, and wow, you can't believe they charged you $300 just to fix the screen

- train dogs to steal iPhones on sight, take dogs to business district Starbucks

- act like Gollum 24/7, especially during sex, until husband can't take any more and consents to purchase of "precious" iPhone

- cry, say you bought iPhone on sale for a can't-miss bargain of $99 but there were $200 of hidden charges and now you feel totally taken advantage of by the mean tricky salesman (aka "pulling a Monica Goodling")

- take him places where he'll want to buy expensive stuff so you can consent to his splurging and have leverage for your own

- buy him an expensive gift before buying the iPhone, so at least he'll think you're irresponsible in general and not just selfish about wanting an iPhone

- post about iPhone desire on message board husband looks at

Really more like "It's easier to come up with a Rube Goldbergesque web of LIES and DECEIT than ask for permission"! (xpost)

I like the last one! (xp)

- buy him an expensive gift before buying the iPhone, so at least he'll think you're irresponsible in general and not just selfish about wanting an iPhone

this seems to be the plan most girls have most of the time

- buy him an expensive gift before buying the iPhone, so at least he'll think you're irresponsible in general and not just selfish about wanting an iPhone

This works both ways. I just bought my wife a new DSLR with a bonus I received at work. So new iPhone, here I come.

Nabisco, you're really incapable of making short posts are you? ;-)

I just noticed that they have the iphone in Japan exclusively for Softbank which is my parents' provider. *rubs hands*

loll my older sister is in exactly this predicament but she has the advantage of having a birthday which is uh today shit

im sure were not getting together till sunday or so tho so its cool

(Maybe I can pretend to my parents it's a Navigator which I need for my car. "Man, it has these really nifty bonuses like you can PHONE with it!"

I mean, my sense of direction is so shitty I do need a TomTom or something similar and the iphone has GPS. I am sensing this is gonna work! (Yes, I'm delusional)

I should note that I totally didn't need permission for the pants, I was just avoiding the whole skeptical "you went shopping for clothes again?" look.

My actual answer to Sunny's dilemma would involve getting an easel, putting on a business suit, and then sitting husband down at the table and giving a whole chart-filled presentation about why she thinks the iPhone purchase is a good idea. That would basically be too funny to say no to and would probably lead to getting it on in a much better way than the whoring-for-iPhone suggestions.

(xpost Stevie why are you acting like you're new here? The first post you called long was FOUR WHOLE SENTENCES)

Yes, but about 534867687 words. And it's Nathalie. Don't pretend you are new here too.;-) I'm tired, my attention span is shorts than my baby's toes. :-)

If you amortize over iPhone life, it's about $8/month.

alright ive got the 2.0 firmware now so i dont care

no blowjobs ;_;

are you just gonna upload it directly into your brane?

the blowjob?

mookieproof OTM.

How about this one:

You: "Can we talk?"

Him: "Sure, now?"

You: "No. It's important. Maybe after dinner?"

Him "Ok..."

Him: *sweat sweat sweat*

After dinner...

Him: "What's up?"

You: "I would like a new iPhone, please"

Him: (relieved) "Is that all? Of course, sweetie!"

Your husband buys you stuff?

Show him it does porn on the go, and let him use it for said porn no complaino.

(I am of course assuming these things do intarwebs, do they? I'm a bit out of the loop on fancy gadgets /lexfox)

porno no complaino is my new negotiation mantra

(and possible new fluffy bear id thingy?)

adam i need financial approval for that kind of cash at the mo

It's all about the interwebs, d00d.

[x-post] Well, I'm the husband, but I have to ask permission to buy myself stuff, so I assume sunny has the same situation.

and I'm getting a new iPhone, after some negotiations.

You should still train the dogs to steal more of them, though.

well now wait a damn second.

kill him! oh wait this is an old thread...

blowjobs is a good answer but this is good too:

How about this one:

You: "Can we talk?"

Him: "Sure, now?"

You: "No. It's important. Maybe after dinner?"

Him "Ok..."

Him: *sweat sweat sweat*
