Things a Flashaholic doesn't like to hear...

I'm sure we all have a bunch of them. I'll start with two recent ones...

I showed a couple guys at work a picture of my current collection and the one guy (who probably owns two flashlights total) says, "Is that all you have? I thought you would have a lot more." Grrrr...

And then today the wife saw me tailstanding my Xeno E03 in the bathroom instead of turning the bathroom light on. She said "You're a nerd!" LOL I told her I was saving energy and she was like "whatever dude."

The wife likes my obsession when she needs a light but teases me about it for fun all the time. :D

LOL :bigsmile:

Or something like "insufficient funds" on your PP account or credit card :bigsmile:

I do this all of the time just to see how well they do as candles. On medium, the XENO E03 is the perfect power outage light. 4 hours of light, medium is the first mode, tail stands perfectly and enough light to light up a whole room. Last time I went camping, I had my XENO in hand more than I had my Spark in hand because it was just the right amount of light and I had a case full of Powergenix and Eneloops at hand.

"a nerd"- when everything is working fine, but at night, blackout, dark place... for sure she'll say: "Darling, where have you been?" :bigsmile:

I tried that one as well, didn't work

The thing I hate to hear is my wife saying: "I thought you said you said you had stopped buying flashlights!"

"I did.. but (I broke/I lost/I sold/I can't find/I lent to your brother) one, and I needed a replacement"

"I did! I forgot about that.. I guess DX just has the most awful shipping times"

"I won it on this little flashlight forum! It was free!"

"I know. I'm sorry. I just can't help it."

"You knew about this when we started dating. Don't try and change me!"

... so many answers. so few good ones. :P

Or - things a flashaholic doesn't like to see - like returning from holiday last thursday to find my 15yr old daughter has had a party, and every one of my flashlights has been stolen (around 20) along with a grands worth of phones and laptops. Still in shock....
