This incident has happened several times before with various people. My Mrs seems to think that everyone has a Charlie Babbitt memory then strops when people forget.

 

She expects me to remember all kinds but pollutes my mind with that much shite that she's lucky I remember about 10 per cent of what she tells me.

She phoned me from Morrisons before asking me where the tin foil was.

 

Me: Why don't you ask someone in there?

 

Her: There's nobody in here.

 

Me: At 11am, there's nobody working in Morrisons?

 

Her: NO. WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL ME?

 

Me: I don't know. I can't remember. Bye.

 

Was it for a hat?

My missus is sound (a bit airheaded at times but always in a very lovable way and never one for the drama) but her family is something else.

 

This week it's all kicked off because she's supposed to arrange for her older sister's birthday celebration.  The whole extended family is having a reunion that same weekend so in accordance with the birthday girl's wishes she just set it up for all the closer-related adults to go to a Mexican restaurant on the Friday before the reunion begins.

 

She called to invite her brother and his wife and mentioned to them that it was going to be adults-only, no kids (after all, one of the reasons you do your birthday celebration at a Mexican restaurant is so that everyone can have a margarita or two).  Thinking, of course, that this would be a great thing for them as it gives them an excuse to pawn the kids off on the grandparents and have a night out.  Everyone wins, thinks my wife - the kids enjoy their grandparents, grandparents of course love watching the kids, and Mom and Dad get to go out with all the other adults and have an adult bevvie.

 

Nope.  Instead she gets a call a few hours later from the older sister (the one whose birthday it is and whose idea all of this is) saying that the brother and sister-in-law have kicked off about how we don't like being around their children and "if you don't want to be around the girls then you won't be around us."

 

What a ridiculous reason for drama.  Instead of being happy to have a night off from your child-rearing responsibilities, why on earth would you start a fuss?  If you don't want to go, just say so.  Feel sorry for the brother as it's clearly his wife (the sister-in-law) who's gotten offended and he has to go along.

I had an OH assessment in work and they identified with my hearing there is a certain pitch with which my ability to hear drops significantly.  I have this report pinned on my fridge and reference it every time I get told I haven't listened 

Knew I wasn't the only one ................

Is it called "woman's voice"?

Some women act like money grows on trees. My Mrs mate is moving house today, her husband inherited 70 grand off his mum when she died last year. Once the money had cleared she was dead set on spending as much of it as possible. Her husband basically goes along with her for an easy life but he's been Mr passive when it's come to this.

 

She decided that she wanted to move house simply because their current house was too small downstairs. They have the space to build an extension or an orangerie but she's decided she has had enough and wants to move to a new build about ten miles away. Her mate has recently moved there which is the real reason they've moved. So she's uprooted her kids and taken them to a new housing estate in the middle of nowhere where they will have to drive miles to do anything.

 

Instead of spending 10-15 grand on an extension they've moved to a house which isn't really any bigger and has smaller bedrooms. She was that desperate to move quickly that she sold the house through one of those jarg companies that sell your house for fuck all. The company agreed to buy the house for 30 grand less than the value. They then put the house up for sale the week after for 20 grand more than they bought it off them for and have already had an offer accepted.

 

She is not remotely bothered by this and has decided to spend another six grand on furniture for the new house. She's also decided to spend another 3 grand on a holiday to Centerparcs inviting a load of random stuff.

 

Add to the fact that she constantly buys utter shite off ebay and Amazon she is basically a money vampire.

 

He's just sat there and said fuck all.

He should hire a private investigator to find out which of her handbags contain his testicles.

We got an e-mail from the daughter of a deceased shareholder today, she'd received the company's Annual Report.

 

"I was wondering if you can help?. I received a package from you recently addressed to my deceased father and myself. This package was an annual report. Can you tell me what this is and what I need to do with it please as do not understand and my father passed 10 years ago."

 

I asked our team to look into it & she was registered as her father's executor in 2008, what a spastic.

 

Also, it's an Annual Report, not a book sent from the fucking future with details of how the World ends or something, just throw it in the bin.

What's she been doing with the previous annual reports?

Had exactly the same for my wedding mate. Made it clear from the start that it was adults only, to give people a chance to have a night off from the kids and have a piss up. Except my sister got it into her head that her kids were going to be page boys and flower girls. We politely told her that she could do what she liked if ever she got married, but she kicked off and never bothered coming.

Got a card through the door yesterday from the health trust, just a name, a phone number and a time of the call, so I looked the number up on the web to find it's the "family resource centre", ie social services. Rang back as soon as I saw it but it had closed at 5pm. Now, I've got a 5-year-old and a pretty crazy ex with a pretty crazy friend, so all manner of shit was going through my head all night, couldn't settle. Rang up first thing this morning and asked for the woman on the card - "Sorry about that, I put it through the wrong door". There's an evening I'll never get back.

 

Disclaimer: this isn't specifically to single her out as a woman, just didn't know where to put this quite fascinating tale of my lost night dreaming up scenarios and possibilities about something that never even happened.
