My buddy thought he got ripped off for Christmas.

Back in December, he ordered himself a Yeti tumbler but It never showed up. He checked the tracking, it said delivered. He checked his porch, his mailbox, his neighbor's place. Nothing.

He figured some porch pirate got to it and filed a claim. Life moved on.

Then the snow melted.

Turns out the thing had been sitting in his front yard since December. The delivery driver apparently launched it into the bushes and it spent three months buried under a solid snow.

He sent me a picture of it. Pulled it out of the dirt, brushed it off, and the thing looked brand new. Not a scratch. Not problems.

Here's what got me though. I have given my wife a hard time for years about those cups. Forty, fifty, sixty dollars for something you drink out of? I've made my feelings known. Loudly. On multiple occasions.

But I'll be honest with you. A cup that survives three months in the elements and comes out looking like it just left the factory? That's hard to argue with.

I told my buddy he was a lucky man. I said some people spend their whole lives searching for the Yeti and never find one.

He did not laugh. His wife did though, which is all that matters.

I'm not ready to go drop sixty bucks on a cup quite yet. But I'll say this: I might owe my wife a small apology. Don't tell her I said that.

Have you ever written something off and then been forced to admit you were wrong about it?

Enjoy your Sunday!
