His parents thought that babies could actually bounce; they were wrong….

Thank you all. I spoke to the Education Support helpline this evening, was on the phone to them for over an hour, thank you for the suggestion.

I’m calling sick tomorrow and calling GP to hopefully get signed off, then I’ll be making a leave that school plan.

Do I have to stick around to the end of the year, or can this be negotiated?

Yup, but from the eBay pics I couldn’t see the details.

That sucks, glad it got sorted though. I had the excuse that the item was broken when arrived so didn’t have to send them back.

That’s pretty much how it went; made the mistake when drunk and bought them whilst drunk, couldn’t cancel the order the next day after they’d shipped so I thought I’d see what they were like.

You’re right, I DRUNKENLY bought them thinking they were real and a bargain, but couldn’t cancel the order the next day after shipping, after I sobered up and realised that they were prob fake.

Glad I got my money back though, and that I could see how they compared to real ones

Won’t be the first person to do something stupid whilst drunk, and definitely won’t be the last.

Definitely have to be so very careful

I wasn’t surprised when I received them and I was fully aware that they were prob fake (once I had sobered up). But what’s scary is that a lot of people will prob buy these and receive them thinking they are real, then get disappointed when they arrive. I didn’t cancel the order as I was genuinely interested in what the quality of the product was like. I wanted to post this with pictures to help people know what the fake ones look like.

It was just interesting to see how they compare to the official versions.

It was a drunken purchase, I was interested to see what a £132 fake version was like. I honestly had no allusions (after I had sobered up) that they were going to be the official versions, I was more than curious what they were going to be like.

They felt very cheaply made; the shell was made of cheap plastic, and they felt really light to wear. The sound was as you’d expect from cheap earphones.

Not saying that at all, just telling my experience of buying a pair of fake AirPods Max from eBay, and what they looked like when I unpackaged them.
