Ok! I admit it. I have a tendency of misplacing some personal effects once in a while. It doesn't happen to me a lot, but when it happen to a high ticket item, I felt like slapping myself real hard. Especially when it was a gift from loved ones.
So when one day I lost my gigibiru handsfree headset which by the way was a gift from the mrs, I was expecting the worse. I did told her about it and as usual it made me feel guilty.
After about a month of losing it I decided to get another gigibiru handsfree set as I found out that it is not worth a traffic summons if caught using it during driving. After all the research for alternatives, I finally settle on the same model, albeit with different trimmings and furnishing. The thing is that there was some shortcoming in the performance of the previous headset, eg time lag in between making & receiving, losing battery if left in the car in the hot sun, etc, but the familiarity of operation form factor finally tip the scale towards the same model.
I guess that it's true in real life. Humans are creature of habit. For me, when presented with a new option, the old tried & tested way would always being considered as well. Now I need a way to hold on to this new gigibiru set longer than the previous one.
