I have this rule. If you want me to buy you anything, then write down EXACTLY what you want and if they have it, I'll get it. I will not substitute.

And, if you're going to get me something. I will write down EXACTLY what I want. If you find it, great. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.

But this all really only applies to things that matter. Key is to make sure someone knows it matters.

So if they get something else? Once or twice to reprogram the thinking. Beyond that? It's deliberate messing with you.

Then you know you're in a game being played out. Deal with that accordingly.
