Addiction
Posted on April 8, 2008 - Filed Under Stuff I Want |
Despite previous intentions I looked at this week’s new Threadless T-shirts, and when I saw this one I was quite taken by it. I noticed that the Small Men’s size was gone, but I’m a medium anyway, so that didn’t overly concern me. ‘Maybe it’ll still be in my size when I’m ordering more in a few month’s time’ I thought, and carried on browsing.
Then, in the course of a gmail conversation, I returned to the page for the URL, so I could share the awesome design with someone else and lament how it seems that every time I order Threadless T-shirts more cool ones are released the following week. I then noticed that there were now only 17 medium-sized tees left, which gave me pause and made me sad, since it meant I’d now never get this shirt. For some reason I left that tab in my browser open, and when I returned to it 5 minutes later and refreshed it, out of curiosity, I saw that there were now only 7 tees left in medium.
Long story short, I ran upstairs, grabbed my wallet, cashed in my $9 worth of Threadless points, and that T-shirt is now on its way to me. Along an An Post charge of about €60, probably.

Wow, that’s a really cool tshirt and it is sold out in medium now damn them making exactly the right number to make it limited
all those threadless points are thanks to us, so really we own some of that.
They’re not actually. They’re from people (me) buying stuff after having clicked on a personalized link that I post every time I mention Threadless on this blog. You don’t get any points for buying T-shirts.
