I called this guy up today, and asked him if he had any stock available for two board games that I wanted to buy...
He said he'll check, and call me back later...
...
Call back he did, and told me that there were only one each of the two board games I requested, and he told me to "Come by tomorrow" if I really wanted it...
So I did... Fearing that they will run out of stock if I didn't tarry, I came down immediately. Then he told me that he didn't have it in stock, and actually he meant "Come by TOMORROW", instead of "Come BY tomorrow". Coz he will get the single leftover stock in tomorrow from his warehouse; he didn't have it at the store currently...
Sheesh... over the phone, I couldn't tell the difference. I thought he meant the latter...
Would you have thought the same???

I would have understood the latter as well. Otherwise he should have said "Come in by tomorrow". anyway what are you doing playing board games you geek!;)
:P
Hey, it's a harmless, wholesome, non-alcoholic activity that's family-friendly and easy on the pocket... What's not to like? hehe
Since I am a procrastinator, I'd drop by the next day. ;p
- Me.
hmm...it depends on if he emphasised the "by" down or just said it flatly...
haha, anon1, that would have been one of the best applications of procrastination ever. Dunno why i chose to be pro-active that day, oh wellz...
anon2, he might have said it either way, but i couldn't quite tell over the phone, so i guess i interpreted the way i wanted to... :(
I would have checked with him if he had stock TODAY so I could go down. Anyhow, if he had stock that day, why would he tell you to 'come by tomorrow', right? It's simple. Just think like a girl!:P
