Rode to work in the rain. Pissed off because my crotch got wet. Pants were sold to me as waterproof. So I used a fake email address to ask the dealer if the pants are waterproof. If he says "yes", I'll email him with my real address saying my crotch got wet in the 15min ride to work and what are you ...
