You should take this opportunity to go cut his grass for him and when he gets super upset about it just act bewildered and then talk about how he said you were far superior at lawn maintenance and you were just trying to help him out. Establish dominance.
Hey man, that all sounds really terrible and I feel for you. On the other hand, assuming your wife got pregnant by you, congrats on that sex! And, if it's not your baby....man, I'm sorry dude.
Most of the help would’ve come from calling them before the store closed and pushing them to actually get things done quicker, at least have them comp the truck, anything to make the situation somewhat better, they have yet to offer to do any of that. Their response after multiple levels of customer service was, “we will provide your concerns to our regional manager, expect a call within a week.” It also didn’t help that the first person in their customer service department that I talked to was clearly working remotely, I kept hearing her screaming child crying into the phone, and could hear tv commercials clearly in the background. She couldn’t even figure out how to transfer s call and it kept bouncing between hold music and periodic bouts of her screaming child in the background. It was a real treat.
This morning my father in law has been obsessed with setting up his “Boys” (read Bose) sound bar on his 36” tv, while repeatedly trying to get Alexa to do things on his fire cube that I bought him so I could watch sports when we visit. It has been everything I’d hoped it would be.
The fact they didn't hire professional movers in the middle the hottest month of the year in Phoenix is a crime. We moved from our rental house in Scottsdale to our own house in Tucson and it took five movers in Phoenix and four in Tucson. Same exact conditions you described. You know the great part? The top of the Uhaul truck gets pretty fucking hot since in the sun all day! Staying at your house in Florida is icing on the cake. Ungrateful fuckers.
A sound bar for a 36' inch television is classic. Also, Jimmy the Saint and I can recommend some great bars in the Phoenix area.
Fucking this. Its really nice to walk into the shade of the uhaul truck and somehow feel fucking worse than the heat of the midday sun.
without knowing more, perhaps losing her husband, who was a DEA agent (which can come with it's own marital baggage), at a young age could have played a role?
Shes actually pretty old (Fiancee is adopted) and unfortunately, by all accounts from extended family etc. she has been pretty much the worst human being anyone has ever encountered for as long as anyone can remember. I know she had a rough childhood and I try to have some sympathy because shes an angry old 300 lb lady with no friends but man when I tell people about this womans behavior people barely believe me. I have seen her scream obscenities at children, the elderly, you name it. She is a narcissist on a level thats hard to understand. Example story: She went to a garage sale and bought this really tacky masquerade mask in a shadow box that I guess you would hang on the wall? She brought it to my fiancee (who is 26 years old) and said "Hi FutureMrsRayBans, hang this on your wall." So my fiancee is like "aw thanks mom, it just kind of doesn't go with anything and I don't really have room for it." Keep in mind this isnt like a thoughtful gift she spent time making. This is something someone else threw out she bought for 3 dollars. Her response to being told no was to immediately respond, in front of me, "You know, this is why you dont have any friends. Since youre such a bitch." Thats like a mild, standard interaction with her. When we got engaged, she had my fiancee down to florida where she lives for a visit. She immediately told my fiancee she could not afford to give her a dime for the wedding or even help with anything (fine, whatever, not the end of the world.) An hour later they went to walgreens and MIL accidentally hit the accelerator in the parking lot and totaled her van into the wall of walgreens. She then made my fiancee go with her to a car dealership and bought a brand new van, in front of her, in cash. Its weird manipulative shit like that.
I thought he’d already taken care of renting the truck only to find out at like 10 the night before that he rented it for 1 pm the next day, it’s been a masterfully planned event.
My FIL acting as a proud dad to my wife. She just got a new job at a publicly traded, Fortune 100, company. A week into her tenure, said company's stock skyrockets based on their quarterly earnings call. My FIL tweets said company, and at's my wife, saying it must be because they hired her that they had such amazing results, and they should probably consider giving her a raise.
That explains it. What a lazy bastard, assuming he waited until the last second because why not cities don't have other people
Would like to say this all started with this comment, “hey Detlef, I hope I’m not volunteering you for something but I’m picking up the moving truck at 1:00 pm.” Spoiler He was volunteering me for something. It ended today with literally not one fucking thank you.
Lived here three years but I appreciate the thought. Just ready to drink myself into a coma at this point.
Update: uhaul store calls an hour ago and let’s us know they’ll pay for movers since their vehicle fucked up, and my father in law isn’t being charged for it. Update: I unloaded the truck three hours ago mother fuckers. Someone want to go ahead and kick me in the dick one more time?
FiL: when do you fly to Myrtle Beach Me: Thursday afternoon FiL: we will probably start driving Friday at 9 pm. Figure we will get there around 7 am Saturday. Do you want us to call you so we can meet for breakfast at IHOP? Me:
My FIL has been exceptionally nice to me lately. I think the vows I shared to my step son at the wedding kinda helped them see the man I was. Still see them every day. He did make a comment yesterday asking if I was ever going to work again. I only work about half days in the summer when school is out. Sensed a little jealousy.
I can make the best of a week at Myrtle Beach no matter any of the circumstances. But I'll be damned if Im going to eat at an IHOP when Im in the non-chain pancake/breakfast house capital of the world.
I even said that I have the hotel until probably 11. They would be welcome to come and crash after an all night drive. He said that everyone likes to eat early and he would rather crash but that’s a total lie. He is a creature of habit and won’t break shitty traditions. The condo he gets you can usually not get in until 2 pm or maybe just after noon if you are lucky. There is always this awkward time where you are there at 7 an and can’t check for hours. They will literally stand in line at IHOP on Saturday morning waiting on a table. It’s nuts. Years ago before we had our daughter I told them I wasn’t hungry. Slept in my car while they ate breakfast. Sun came up and I woke up hotter than ever. Thought I was dead but at least I wasn’t eating IHOP.
here comes all the Waffle House assholes with their noses up in the air talking shit about being better and more fancy
My wife tried to order a salad there one time. No lie, the manager care out and said they were out of lettuce. Never seen one person eating a salad there. It was pretty funny.
Do me a favor and ignore all the Waffle House propaganda that is being pushed on this page. Waffle House intentionally hires sex offenders.
