Uh oh… (Excuses needed)

That awkward moment when your watch is arriving early and you won’t be home, but your wife will… I need excuses for why a box very obviously from Japan showed up!

If it’s DHL you can change delivery to pick up from the drop box.

·

You got rewards points at work/on credit card and decided to treat yourself to a new watch.

·

You won the Japanese version of squid games…lower stakes, lesser prizes.

You’re going to try being a sushi chef as a hobby. Before you can buy the knives, you must meditate for exactly 1 hour using the specific functions of this ancient Japanese tool.

I ordered sushi 🍣

·

It’s a treat box from Japan ala Sakuraco.

·

Best way is to get it over with quick. You can’t hide a new watch. So put the watch on before ear full so when you put your head down you can smile at you watch.

Fortunately, I have enough that she doesn’t notice.

Never mind. I’m saved. It’s coming even earlier!

My son does order a ton of Japanese treats from weird stores…

I need to get to that place. My wife just shakes her head. She doesn’t trip.

·

My wife gave up long ago.

This is not true. I bought a Speedmaster 12 weeks ago and my wife hasn’t noticed. And yes, I have considered the fact that I am a bad husband not worthy of acknowledgement, and that it has taken me 18 years of effort to get to this point, but it can be done!

Facts!

My wife today announced "I found the watch you've been looking for in your safe"

My heart skipped a beat, I thought 'Sweet Jesus this isn't going to go well'

Then she walked up the hall with my son's watch I couldn't find.

Hallelujah, I thought she had found the 57 I got at Easter.🙈

"Don't worry, honey. It's only a fleshlight."

·

Your girlfriend, who’s traveling through Japan, has sent you a watch as a gift. If you’re going to make something up, go all the way, brother.

·

Funny comments, I usually go with the traded with another watch cost me next to nothing lol

·

I would have developed a sudden manga obsession

it's just comics my dear

·

I have learned the wisdom of going through the proper procurement channels. You never need and excuse if you never hide anything. Do, or do not. There is no try.

·

Redirect it to the post office insist on signature required on your order ! Fixed !

Haha “ dread game “ full score ! Ha

·

Been there, done that. When she gives you the look... Just give her a peck on her cheeks and walk away.

·

You say, very simply, and very calmly, "A box is coming."

If you are asked for further details you say, "I bought myself a watch."

It's very simple stuff. Be honest, be upfront. Anyone who cracks the shits about you buying yourself something should be reminded that you are an adult and can do whatever you like, just as they can.

I never see why this sort of thing has to be a big deal. Happily married 15 years this year.

·

Well honestly, I would tell her the truth. My wife is a first person to see everything I buy, because it's fun to show each other new stuff, share the excitement, spend a little bit more time together.

Or just say you order some adult manga. The argument is gonna be so, so severe that she'll forget everything about your watch collection, and you'll get a chance to rock your watch safely while staying at hotel.

Just kidding, no disrespect to you.)

·

Oh , is my watch back from the repairers. 😉

·

Have you tried being honest from the jump? It’s just crazy enough to work.

·

I'm only hoping it's not being delivered by UPS. They threw my signature required Omega AT on the porch, rang the bell, and were driving away down the street before I opened the door...or maybe we should all hope it is being delivered by UPS so it will be delivered under the radar as they discreetly throw it in the bushes out front?
