[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 353121, member: 1991"] There is an easy answer to the passive aggressive crud he's dishing out. Agree with him. Without any sarcasm, say to him, "I know you said it is here, but you have to accept I am an idiot and domestically blind. Please will you get up, come over here, take me by the hand and put my hand on it?" And if it is there after all - grovel. Make light of it if you can, but also be very clear - YOU are the idiot who couldn't see what was under your nose. But chances are, you are right. And if you are, after you've just said, "I am an idiot, I really need your help to find it," you will have gained back all that face you just threw in his direction... This works. It really works. Trust me! And it's a lot quicker and a lot less trouble, than ordering another one from eBay! Marg [/QUOTE]
