So tonight I coincidentally met my classmate at my local convenience store. During classtime we chat about flashlights, which include HID's. I told her how I bought a Xenide and she seemed really interested, so tonight was a great time to show her. I grab the light from my trunk, click the switch, and astounded my friend with the output of the light. An accomplice of hers asked me if I could see the light, and I let him.
Oh boy, what a stupid idea.
He had no idea what an HID was, much less the operational nature of the device. Without thinking and out of complete ignorance, he starts clicking the light on and off in rapid succession.:sick2::green: I immediately told him to stop doing that or else it will break.:whoopin: Of course he stopped and handed me back the light, at which point I was well... you know. I said my goodbyes to my friend and left.
I should have never handed over a $300 flashlight to a complete stranger, I definitely learned my lesson tonight. I admit it was stupid of me to do that, but then again I was so tired and out of it I wasn't thinking straight.:sigh: It was just one of those absent-minded moments. It just makes me angry that he did that, as I'm sure any CPFer who spent their hard-earned money on an HID. Sorry but I just had to vent my frustrations!
