Who Killed The King

[Fudd]

ok so i was coming home from my lacrosse practice and i put my kings, attached to my stick, in my laundry room because they stunk. then i left to eat dinner, and for got about them till the next morning. When i woke i had a suprise. my right handed king glove was destroyed by my dog. then, i had practice the next day, so i took my brothers glove and went to practice. when i came home i did the same exact thing, except, my dog was sleeping and we had yelled at him so much that i didn't think he would do it again. somehow with in 5 minutes he did it again. the worst part was that they were both the left hand glove.....what should i do.

[Mike21]

You might be able to exchange the kinds, I'm not sure, how bad is it? Any pics?

[toey2516]

I would try sending them back.

[preplax29]

I would try sending them back.

yea they should have a warranty on them.

[auburnfan2015]

I'm thinking that the warranty doesn't cover dog attacks

[shakerlax222225]

i would try to send them back, brine is pretty understanding

[faceofflax15]

Brine isn't very understanding, My Dog did the same thing to my defts.....


You're out of luck my bro.

[Brandon303]

Well it's your fault/your parents fault for not being able to housetrain your dog well enough so it won't do things like that. Tough luck, oh well. The sooner your get over it, the better because you're out two pair of Kings.

Train your dog better and things like that won't happen.
I'm sure you're no Wayne Gretzky at training dogs either so get over yourself. That's right let's blame the family here...Great advice.

I think the only way to get new gloves would be if you told Brine they just got ripped up in practice. Telling them your dog ate them would be a poor choice. Good luck!

[cavgoalie7]

if we can see some pics of them, then we can concoct a better lie for you.

[sflaxman]

send um bac on warrenty, if they ask just lie
thats wat i always do

[czechinthepipes]

Well you really are out of luck with sending them back especially if you say your dog ate them. So what Ii would do since the gloves prolly look like a dog or some animal got a wholed of them you should say that while you were practising a dog attacked you. lol thats my best lie for you. Other than that your out of luck

[laolax]

sell your dog to get a new pair?

[MaFFe1]

ok im gonna have to admit. brandon did get "PWN3D" there.

but fudd get some pics up. so we can see if they are salvagable lol. then well make up a lie for you. that you can tell brine.

[shakerlax222225]

can you show us some pics?

[Fudd]

ok to all virgin eyes that don't want to be cursed ,don't look because here are the pics....

the glove on the right was un-chewed and the one on the left was....chewed

[CustomX157]

Say you got checked into a woodchipper which happened to be right on the sideline of the field. Your glove flew off in your frenzy to save your arm and the cuff got ripped off. You then risked your life to save the glove but in the mean time it met its awful fate.

[cavgoalie7]

tell them it was faulty stiching, someone else's on here tore at the cuff

[adobekid9]

lol thats sick. Just say they got cought in a sick check and thwe kid ripped them ogg or somethin.

yes i am sure that one will work

[Longpole5435]

If there are no visible bite marks then just come up wit h a good excuse.

[cavgoalie7]

ya say a shaft got caught in the cuff, and then he tried to pull away and it tore... in like 3 places

[Brandon303]

Better yet, send them over my way. I'll take em!

[Jugthug42]

Its the cuff...

Not a big deal, worst case scenario, still use them.

Your gloves = not ruined.

[Laxer1241]

looks like they could have just got caught on somthing and had faulty stitching to me, oh and your dog seems to hate leftys

[cavgoalie7]

you could cut off the other cuff for a sense of symetry

[Farny]

No, no, no. This is the best way to do it.

Right a really angry letter. Be like, pissed off about the quality of the glove. Say something like...

"I am sending these gloves in because I am extremely disappointed in the quality of this product. I had been using these gloves for about _ weeks before this happened. I began to notice that the stitching on the cuff was rapidly fraying and it seemed as if it wouldn't be long before the cuff came completely off. I had such good fortune that this incident decided to occur on the practice before the most important indoor game of the season. The cuff came off that practice, right in the middle of a drill. To no surprise, the gloves were not in good enough shape for me to use to the game, and I had to resort back to an old pair I found in my basement. Amazing that after all these years it's these old gloves that prove to be more useful than this junk you're trying to sell at $150. I was so disappointed that I began to tear away at them, since there was nothing else to do; I couldn't exactly sew that cuff back on. My dog caught me in the middle of a bit of a tantrum. It's a jack russel, you know, and he decided to join in and make my tug of war with the glove into a two player game. Needless to say, he tore it up a little further, but it's not as if I cared, I wasn't going to use broken gloves in the first place. We won our game the next day, by the way. I scored the winning goal.

Now, perhaps I'm wrong about these gloves being worthless, though. Perhaps they were truly defective. That's why I'm sending them in to be replaced on warranty, because I have some hope that the next pair might actually serve it's purpose. I hope you can prove me wrong, otherwise, there are a number of other lacrosse equipment manufacturers out there..."

Now, if that doesn't get you new gloves, nothing will. I don't exactly know why I bothered to right all that, and I don't know if righting such a lengthy letter would be the right idea, but who knows? I was bored, by the way.

I think with that amount of detail you can't fail. Like seriously, a Jack Russell? Who would've thought of something like that besides someone sincere, or someone completely insane?

I definitely forgot a part of the story I meant to add. It would've been a good addition, but I think it's okay as is.

[MeRattack]

ya, just make up some excuse about how the gloves ripped so you can get another pair b/c theyre just being stubborn with theyre customer service if they dont replace all broken gloves, especially if you just got them

oh ya, and the only thing i would disagree with farnys letter is the part when he says he didnt care about the gloves...b/c i have the feeling brine would be like why do you want another pair if you think they are so crappy, i say give the gloves some credit and praise them so the brine people have some sympathy

[BoiledEggs]

copy and paste that. I want to see what they say.

BTW great story, A for effort

[faceofflax15]

Farny- You have a future in writing.

[Farny]

Farny- You have a future in writing.

Thanks, I need a lot of work, but that's what I'm hoping for.

[Gaib]

Or you could own up to the fact that Brine did nothing wrong and not try to scam them...maybe I'm biased though

[faceofflax15]

Just because you work there..


Dang Morals..

[destructivelax]

you know brine reads these forums everyday right? you got screwed the moment you posted this thread

[CustomX157]

This is true, but what are the odds that youd get the same rep who would think and say hey! i saw these gloves, this kid is a lying poo bag!

[DJ Death]

if you sound pissed enough on the phone, they'll send you new ones. you don't even have to have a whole story laid out if you're aggressive enough and know your way with words.

[Jephman]

Don't call the gloves anything bad because they may say something like "If you think our gloves are ________ then why should we send you new ones?"

I like the Farny story though, A+ for effort.

[libertyvillelax]

My dog ate my Spys...

[ALABASTERMASTER]

u can still wear them losing the wrist cuff is not the end of the world there not gonna fly off your hand....

[atmusfear]

I agree with Farny. Here we go *clears throat*

"As a general Brine buyer, It is with disappointment that I find the Brine Kings did not live up to your usual sense of quality. *Insert status/state of glove with excuse* I would like to send them back and either receive a replacement pair, a discount on a next purchase or any possible explanations as to why the gloves have ripped. I thank you for your time and co-operation.

*Insert Name*, Loyal Brine Customer

[Jephman]

To add to Atmus, say something like "I hope this experience will not affect my future lacrosse-realted purchases."

[MaFFe1]

haha yes what jephman sed.

when i broke my python optra, both times. they sent me a new one with not too many questions asked.

just be like. heres the short story. picture 2 dark wizards, a cheetah, mr potato head, and unicorn. now picture these gloves there too. use ur imagination and thats what happened. and remember this. this story is true if you dont believe it. but once you believe it, it becomes a lie. (demetri martin)

or maybe its a little gnome that keeps sneaking into your house and doing it.

by the way. what size are those gloves

[Matt Larkin]

your dog killed the king.

[sidewinder19]

sew up the loose stitching, cut the other cuff off.they will be fine.If your team mates ask say "my dog at my....... kings"

[RichWutLax]

ok so i was coming home from my lacrosse practice and i put my kings, attached to my stick, in my laundry room because they stunk. then i left to eat dinner, and for got about them till the next morning.

Looks like it was your fault , not your dogs ... if your gloves are that important to you keep them in a safe place ... my super macs are on top of my fridge ....by the way my dog is the same way ... he ate part of my mattress , my rollerblades ...the end of my brand new harrow box , my wallet , the inside foam of my cpro ...and the list goes on ...ive learned to live with it and keep my stuff safe ... not blame my laziness on the dog

[EHSLAX12]

my dogs have chewed my defts before, jus the goalie thumb part. at least they only chewed the cuff off, it couldve been worse.

[slinkyspine]

You don't learn from your mistakes do you?


I have no sympathy for someone who left the gloves in the same place...



MY dog ate my ski goggles once... needless to say I put them on the top shelf not the bottom now.

Kinda common sense not to put them where your dog can get them if it likes to eat them...eh?

[EHSLAX12]

maybe you can get a cat so your dog has a new target to chew and itll take its mind off of the gloves.

[tomtom]

Ive gotta say guys, own up to the fact that it was your fault. Dont go making bs excuses to try and get free gloves, you wernet careful and let your dog rip your gloves, Brine shouldnt have to pay for that mistake.

[MaFFe1]

thanks mom

and hes asking what he should do about it. most of these excuses like mine are obviously jokes. its up to him what he wants to do with it.

[dram183]

I'm pretty sure theres no warranty for gloves.

[lax0272]

I think with that amount of detail you can't fail. Like seriously, a Jack Russell? Who would've thought of something like that besides someone sincere, or someone completely insane?


I've got a Jack Russell, and she hasn't ripped up my gloves for the past three years...
Say it was a beagle. My uncle had a beagle, and it chewed up everything. Then, one day, it chewed through an electric cable and died...

R.I.P. Sparky

[faceofflax15]

Well since we have a random bump, I'd like to thank Farny for writing my business complaint letter for intro to business class. Got 100 percent on it.

[CustomX157]

it chewed through an electric cable and died...

I know its bad, but did that make anyone else laugh? haha

Sorry bout the dog dude.

Sorry to hear that, but does anyone else find it ironic that the dog's name was sparky (sorry man).

[KUjayhawks42]

HAHAHA man thats hilarious, sorry about the dog tho..
