Me: (Head in clothes dryer full of acetone/goof-off fumes) When did you notice an ink pen had gone through the wash? Her: Oh, the other parts came out a couple of weeks ago, I didn't look for the ink tube thingy. Me: (Stares at ruined flannel sheets/pillow cases)(Thinks to self that post-fumes I will still have more brain cells) Sigh.
Maybe I will. Damn nice Woolrich flannel ones. Look like somebody rebuilt a carburetor on them. Classy.
Me: What is this $961 charge on the Amex? Her: You told me I could get a new phone so I did. Me: Yeah, I said to get a new phone for around $30 per month. Her: Here’s the receipt. That’s what I did. Me: No, you bought a 256GB iPhone 8 with a cover for $961. Why the fuck did you buy a 256GB phone? Her: What’s 256GB mean? I got an iPhone 8. Me: The 64GB version is $150 cheaper. You’re taking that one back tomorrow and getting the 64GB. Her: No, I’m not! You told me to get a new phone so I got a new phone. This whole conversation is making me feel small. You’re an asshole for treating me like I’m dumb. Me: When it comes to cell phones, apparently you are fucking dumb. Take the phone back tomorrow, please.
X is the premium model that they rushed to market to compete with Samsung, and it costs something absurd like $1300 for a 256 gig. 8 and 8+ are the newest non-edge to edge screen versions.
I feel like leaving your significant other to make decisions regarding electronics is a bigger indictment of you than her.
That whole conversation seems pretty intense for something that added like $6 a month over a two year installment
While I agree, my expectation of telling her “you can get a new phone” was her asking me to go to the ATT store to help her get a new phone. I was shocked she did this by herself (and she was proud...until that conversation). Are you married?
Yeah. Although we keep separate finances and are both reasonable with money, so maybe there's some cumulative effect that I'm missing.
I don’t really care about the money. I “care” about being ignorant with regards to a $1000 purchase. $150 isn’t a big deal, but wasting $150 on 192GB of iPhone storage is annoying/stupid.
We were watching Little Big Shots the other night and this little girl came on. Mini Me: "Mom, what is she doing?" Wife: "That's called extortion, honey. She's an extortionist." Me:
I've had a handful of meals/beers there, and have definitely sat right where she plowed into. Were you inside when the crash actually happened?
Yeah. We were sitting at the table where the jacket is in the last picture. A group of about ten people left that front row of tables about fifteen minutes before it happened.
My 7 year old son asked the wife how to spell Vancouver. Wife got the first three letters before Googling it. That alone is worth a but I decided to press my luck, so I asked if she knew where Vancouver was. Her first three guesses (in order): - Near Denver - No, wait, Washington DC? - The Oregon Trail?
Dp, but I'll use this space to note that my wife has two bachelors degrees and a master's degree and didn't know that Vancouver was in Canada. What's worse is that it didn't surprise me in the least.
This reminds me of another one. The other day we were playing games with our 4 year old where we named a letter followed by words that start with that letter ... D is for dog, C is for cat, etc. I guess we really got rolling because at one point my wife blurted out, "and W is for Mommy!"
Saying “can’t wait for this to become a meme” is indicative of a person who doesn’t really get how memes are started.
