Anyone want to come slap some sense into my sister?
She's spent about £50 on tickets and travel for a gig somewhere, and is now not going, because her boyfriend wants to go to the cinema the same night.

However, she won't sell the tickets, and doesn't seem to grasp that she's losing money.

Also, how are you?
( WHARRGARBL, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:08, archived)

Let her lose it.
She's obviously got too much of it. Then steal it.

Edit: Also, her boyfriend's an idiot for expecting her to go to the cinema when she's going to a gig.

Does it matter what parts of our body we slap your sister with?

Also, what gig?

( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:09, archived)

No, and I think it's Take That, but I'm not entirely sure

( WHARRGARBL, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:10, archived)

Ah, so not a total waste.

I'm being taken to a Boyzone gig soon.
I'm only going for the booze courtesy of the manwife's work.

I think he said 'cum slap'

(Seebeedee, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:13, archived)

What tickets?
If she is not bothered about the blatant waste of money then I might take them for free.
(thediscokingpin, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:10, archived)

she's not losing money, it's a sunk cost.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:11, archived)

But she is not getting a return for her money

(thediscokingpin, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:11, archived)

perhaps not the most financially sensible decision

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:27, archived)

Nick them off her and sell them.

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:11, archived)

copy them in crayon,
sell the originals, and if she challenges you later on, tell her tickets these days turn into scrawled crayon versions of themselves once the date of the gig passes.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 12:13, archived)

The fact that she's being domineered by her boyfrind would trouble me more than her lack of financial nous.

point out that you can go to the cinema any time, gigs are less often.

This is a very good idea.

well if he's not a prick, and not an idiot,
he ought to be able to realise that going to the cinema on a different day isn't that much of a sacrifice, all things considered.

Tell her you'll sell them for her if you can keep a percentage,
once you've handed over her share, mug her.
