but instead we find we just deal with the normal crap everyone else does.
the other day we got into it over a phone plan. dh wanted to pay $40 extra per month for unlimited texts. TEXTS. wtf?? no way i was letting that one go down.
he also keeps running out of minutes, because the players call him all the time. i told him to just suck it up and use my phone when he's home. i always rollover at least 300 minutes a month, so have plenty spare minutes he can use. because there's no way i'm going to combine our phone plans to pay $40 more a month for less minutes. i get 450, he gets 1000 but combined we'd only get 1350. each of our plans is $40 - we got it at seperate times.. he got in a loonnnggggg time ago when the plan offers were much better (his plan also includes 200 texts). so current bill now is $80. for a combined plan at the 'best' rate it would be $120 for the 2 phones with the combined 1350 minutes and unlimited texts.
we'd be worse off than before - that $40 would be paying strictly for the unlimited texts. i straight up told dh in the store he was stupid for wanting to do that, i got my id back from the clerk and left. (he was sooo ticked at me for that!
his logic even as we were arguing over the expense.. was since i mentioned last week we should look into combining our car insurance, towards the end of last week he mentioned the combining phone plans. (so even after he already knew combining would COST us money he was trying to argue it would SAVE us money)
i said uh... combining car insurance would actually save us a lot of money, no matter what company we go with (i have AAA, he has farmer's). but we've looked into this phone thing and.. huh uh. not even close. just can't justify spending $40 more on phone service - it makes no sense.
it was a long and hard battle over the weekend because he kept insisting to have all the minutes directly accessible from his own phone, but i finally persuaded him that it's worth saving $40 a month for him to just suck it up and use my pink phone when he's home (which will be enough to compensate for all the minutes he'd otherwise go over on his).
sometimes i really just don't get men. why in the name of god would you want to voluntarily increase your phone bill by 50%??
this is what it really is - he just got a raise at work last week. so now he feels obligated to spend more. i'm sure you get what i mean because people do this all the time. i told him during our fights with the phone to quit trying to keep up with the jones's
Also remember, if they get bitchy, just tell em to give your coupons back and that they can waste the time/hours/payroll to pay some employee to put everything you were going to buy back on the shelves.
Ok, my cell has always been on my mom's plan and I just pay her the money. You get a better deal with a family plan etc....so after dh and I were together for awhile my mom gave me the go ahead to get him a phone. Between the 3 phones we have 1500 min, free sprint to sprint, and nights and weekends starting at 7....dh went over by over FIVE HUNDRED last month, and consistently goes over. My mom rarely presses us for the money for the cell phone (b/c I'm her fav), she knows not paying it every month helps us financially. so you would think knowing this he would do everything in his power to make sure he doesn't go over and limit extra charges. Uhm no. He doesn't pay attention...he doesn't get the concept that my mom can disconnect his phone at ANY time. You would think you would not have to explain to a 30 year old not to take advantage of the kindness of others...otherwise they stop being kind.

I forgot the only q that she should have.could have said anything about was the $3/2 posit q which she did not say ANYTHING about! She was a total witch.

As for other customers behind you sticking up for you, I've noticed that if you turn around and look at the person behind you, chances are they will back you up cause they just want you to hurry up so they can get checked out. Here lately ladies behind me are simply amazed at how much money I save with coupons.

but overall i hardly ever get coupon blocked at the t for seemingly no reason. BUT at the same time, because of what i've seen in the T thread over the last couple months and the escalation of it.. i haven't shopped at the T in over a month because i fear the next victim of it would be me.
so basically, while nothing really "bad" has happened to me and certainly not on a consistent basis.. i absorb everything written here and it influences how i feel about shopping at target - even with legitimate deals and coupons. suffice to say i am riding out the storm going on at the T.

so we've had plans to go to a water park all week tomorrow, yet friend's dh sunday nite tells her that because of the illnesses that have popped up this summer from water (crypto) and even though all water parks have been treated and continued to be treated, forbid her to go. ok i said the FORBID...wtf??? seriously, i don't live like this. i'm married and we communicate. he may say that's probably not a good idea, but i can do whatever i want. is it freaking 1875? because i didn't know anyone owned anyone in 2008.
so she calls me sunday nite and says let's plan something else. i'm like uh no. just b/c your husband forbids you doesn't mean my dd and i have to be grounded also. she's offended that we won't change our plans. doesn't say it but you can tell she's at a loss.
i even ask dh wth? he's lol and wondering where to get such a wife!! he even goes so far as to tell our dd that she should never date a guy that tells her what to do and when to do it and checks up on her all the time type person. etc, etc.
so then monday she calls to tell me she's going to talk to him again that nite and try to get permission. i'm like whatever. we're still going with or without you. she offers up some more ideas and asks me if i'm sure. yea, i'm sure. i'm still super nice.
monday nite she calls and says he's not ok with it, but says i can go and it will be her fault if she and her daughter get sick. she's like ok. but you can tell when she talks to me she's not ok with it. she's worried what if we get sick and he's right and then i have to put up with him. i tell her basically this is your life, do what you need to do to be ok and let me know what you decide.
tuesday morning she calls and says that they are both uncomfortable with the water and unsure if it is safe to be out in the pools b/c some have gotten diarrhea from this funk. (it's much like food poisoning with the symptoms) there's all kinds of info on the website about them checking and hyperchlorinating and such to make sure it doesn't get in their water, but anyone with the funk in their poop (ie babies) or didn't wash their hands, etc can still start a new case anywhere. not just the water parks.
so i tell her do what you need to do. i don't understand, but it's your decision. you can get food poisoning, so don't eat out. you can get west nile from mosquitos, don't go outside, etc etc you can't live in glass houses. if my dd gets sick we will go to the doctor since we know what it could be, but there is no medication and it just runs it's course. i don't know what else to say. not as nice, but i'm trying.
tonight at cheer camp. she runs up and says finally he gave me permission. yes, permission. whatever, i don't get it. i don't live this type of life and i didn't know she did. so we are on and dd spends nite at her house and i'm to meet them in the morning at the water park.
cut to an hour ago. 11 pm. phone rings. she tells me that dd has a temp of 99.1. seriously i'm not a nurse, but 99.1. are you freaking kidding me? i'm trying not to laugh. i know what's happening. she is trying to get my dd to take the fall so that now we can't go. she also tells me dd says her throat is sore. yes, probably. she has been cheering all day and then all night. i'm sure her throat hurts. she's like oh. i didn't think of that. i go thru all the mommy questions about her well being and finally say she's not sick, she doesn't have a temp and she's ok. do you need me to come get her? no. ok. goodnight.
5 minutes later phone rings again. it's her again. ok i just checked her throat and it is red on one side. me- do you need me to come get her (no longer nice sounding and dh in the background hollering GO GET HER THIS IS F'ING RIDICULOUS!). her- no i just thought you should know. me- thank you but i think she is fine. do you need me to come get her? her- no if you don't think she is sick, then she should be ok. what should i do if she gets worse? me- ummm, get her some meds. but she is not sick. her- what if she is contagious and gets my dd sick? me- do you need me to come get her? she's not sick but if you are uncomfortable, then i will come get her. her-no but i need to tell you that dh is still not happy with the water park and maybe we can do this another time when there is no crypto (ummm it's always going to be there ~ it's a water/poop illness). you can still go though (gee tell your dh thanks). me - (breathing deeply, cussing in my head trying not to do it outloud) me- i'm coming to get her (mind you a 35 minute drive) she's not sick if you can't go to the park then just say so. her- well what if she does get sick and then i have to put up with him (forgot to say he is the stepdad) and then i have to tell ex that i got her sick? me- you mean to tell me that your dd just spent 30 days straight with her father AT THE LAKE (where the most funk is found and not treated) and you want me to think he is going to be mad at you for taking her to a water park for one day? he will not. if you need to not go to be ok, then don't go. her- silence. she forgot i knew about the lake. stuttering i just don't know what to do. we want to go but he is worried and it's just not worth it. me - ok i'll come get her. her-no she can stay the night and we will talk tomorrow. me- call me in the morning and i will come get her and blah blah blah
5 minutes later my dd calls and tells me goodnite. i ask where her friends mom is and she says talking to her dh. i ask are they arguing? she says no but they are on the other side of the house. i ask if friends mom is all over her asking her lots of questions about being sick. she says yes. i ask her if she is sick. she says no. she said i told her my throat hurt and she immediately took my temp and called you. i said did she talk to dh before that. she said yes. i asked if she was uncomfortable and needed to come home and she said no. she said she and friend were upset that now they can't go together. i told her i can't fix this and to call me if anything changes tonight and/or in the morning and i would pick her up if friends weren't going.
i am freaking out that friend will be beat if she disobeys her husband. what does everyone else read into this saga? i can not freaking sleep. i'ts 1 am and i'm waiting for dd to call and say come get me. do i ask her if something will happen if she goes without his blessing. ie are you going to be beat and need help?? what do i do? am i just crazy. is this normal and i'm the unnormal? wth is going on??
Dh is very old school when it comes to marriage etc....but at the end of the day we are still a TEAM. We respect each other's wishes and sometimes I just have to tell him to go shove it lol. If she doesn't stand up on this issue....she's a lost cause. Gawd what a little wimp.
I kinda wanna go smack her lol and bringing your kid into her non- back bone having bs...pppsssh!
So dh has rls (restless legs syndrome) he has done nothing but b*tch non-stop for the past week about it. I have told him several times to take meds for it. He kept insisting that the meds werent for that.
So tonight he like sits up real fast and starts bitching. I said ok take the freakin meds. and he just totally freaked and was like quit telling me to take it, that's not what its for bla bla bla bla. So i use my handy dandy google search and uhm guess what? The freakin med is listed on the first freakin site i go to as a treatment. I turned around and told him to take the freakin med now and shut up about it. And I made him apologize for not listening to me haha
