So I saw the rumors flying about Travis Scott hoodies dropping exclusively in Barcelona. Figured I’d try snagging one since my old black hoodie’s basically see-through at this point. Grabbed my laptop and my busted-up phone, made some coffee – knew this might get messy.
The Pre-Game Struggle
Set my alarm stupid early, like 5:45 AM Barcelona time. Site said drop at 6 AM sharp. Booted up Chrome and Firefox both, logged into accounts beforehand. Felt kinda dumb talking to myself: “Alright, refresh like mad at 5:59. Don’t screw this up.”
6:00 AM Hit Like a Brick Wall:
- Smash F5 on both browsers. Nothing happens for a solid minute.
- Finally see that damn “Shop Now” button. Click it so hard I nearly jab a hole in my screen.
- Spinning wheel of death. Page just… froze. Classic.
- My phone buzzed like crazy – stock alert group chats blowing up. “L’s everywhere bro” messages flooding in. Panic mode activated.
The Actual Combat
Switched to mobile data when my wifi choked. Spammed that checkout button like my life depended on it. Saw the black hoodie pop up in size Large – clicked “Add to Cart” faster than I blink. Cart page loaded halfway then errored out. Cursed at my phone. Went back, somehow it was still in there.
Payment screen felt like running through mud. Fingerprint login failed twice. Manually punched in my card digits while sweating buckets. Clicked “Place Order” – another spinning wheel. Held my breath until that order confirmation flashed up. Nearly knocked my coffee over fist-pumping.
Post-Battle Blues
Checked the stock after – sizes vanished in minutes. Felt lucky… until buyer’s remorse kicked in. Spent WAY too much after shipping and taxes. And now I’m paranoid: should’ve gotten an XL. Why am I like this?
Why put myself through this circus? Honestly… beats me. Guess I just wanted that damn hoodie. Feel like I ran a marathon before breakfast. Next time? Probably just wearing my raggedy old hoodie.
