When Jason Levinthal calls you a fucking bastard...
Story Time. Today I was browsing the interwebs for some merchandise from Jskis. I had their cat sticker and cat crew sweatshirt in my cart and I was at the point of the check out where you can put in a promo code. So I think "Hey why not give it a go" and I start guessing. Lo and behold I finally get one. It is for $58 (exactly the amount for the sticker and sweatshirt) so I'm thinking I hit the jack pot. I proceed with the checkout and 35 minutes later I get a call from a cell phone in VT. So I get and say hello only to here someone on the other line say " hey this is Jason Levinthal with Jskis, where'd you get that code?" so I told him i just started guessing and he then calls me a fucking bastard. The end.
Dub post, but your story ended like shit. Did he just hang up on you after calling you a bastard? Do you get to keep your shit? Is he sending you a box of animal shit?
You can't claim to get a phone call from Mr. Levinthal and then tell the story like a 9-year-old in front of a candy store.
honesty will catch up with you, J Lev is a personal friend of mine and he works super hard all the time to stoke people out, when you take advantage of things your bound to get called out. Its not called a guess and you might get a discount code.
I would have gotten me some new skis. Also this should be in ski gabber. Telling a story of you getting called a bastard doesn't have to do with gear talk

i whould say the same thing. works his ass off with his money and you come in and take stuff from him for free. its like pirating music, dont be a dick just pay for it and support our rad ski community.
Huck_NorrisHahaha time for a name change. THE MAN HATH SPOKEN, AND HE HATH GIVEN THYNE NAME.
Stop posting before you ruin a good thread. I didn't know it was possible to post something so horribly boring. I'd prefer to stomp a box full of kittens to death for entertainment rather than reading another one of your posts.

Imo that was totally wrong of him. A seller should never cuss out their customers. Especially when it's his own fault for creating a free code that's easy to guess.
When he called me a fucking bastard he was laughing and he seemed like he was in good spirits and that he just thought it was pretty funny. He also told me if I keep thinking like that I will go places in life. Really he was super cool about everything and I am honored to have had him call me a fucking bastard. It's the best compliment I have ever been given.

I thought so. I don't know why everyone assumed he thought you actually were a "fucking bastard" rather than saying it sarcastically. I mean, why would he be pissed about giving you promotional material (sweatshirt and stickers with his name)? It's not like you took advantage of it and bought his entire stock of skis with the code.
Some kid in Montana guessed "CoupeDeville" and got 75% off a pair of skis before we even told anyone about it. (was going to be used as a Shop Proform code)
The only time I try and guess passwords is when I'm trying to log into my own accounts. Unfortunately I seem to get better the less sober I am which ends badly for all the peoples on the intrawebs.

Haha, um you like forgot to finish the story and stuff. . .
My words "bastard" rolled into a long laugh telling you how impressed I was that you thought of using steve stepp's name as a code. I went on to tell you that's the kind of ballsy ingenuity and initiative that's going to get you far in life and to keep thinking that way. I then asked if you signed up to get my FREE STICKERS and you said you did, so I thanked you for helping spread the word.
I personally thought it was awesome, and hilarious and was stoked to see you being such a good sport, shortly after re-ordering the same product, super legit of you! Definitely no reason to feel guilty at all man, seriously! It's just skiing.

This just in, OP sucks at telling stories. This thread is awesome.

That was plain and simply unprofessional.
Well I take this back now since OP failed to explain that it was done in humor.
