Drive-Thru Depreciation
From Christine.
Wait a second -- does your husband KNOW about your blog???
***
"I am a very generous person. Since, dear readers, you don't know me, you'll just have to take my word for it. I give liberally to charity, overtip and spoil my family members with expensive gifts. I love spending money. Fortunately, I do have some self control and manage to save an acceptable portion of my income before I do my on line shopping or splurge on the latest Prada accessory.
My husband John and I do not share money which I have mentioned before. As his contribution to the household, he pays the utilities each month. Mainly because I refuse to support him totally. It is the principal of the thing.
Anyway, John benefits greatly from my generous spirit and love for spending and gift giving. Not only do I feed and cloth him, I have given him thousands of dollars worth of music equipment and paid for expensive vacations. On occasion, this practice does make me a bit bitter. Especially when it is just assumed that I am picking up the check every where we go. Last night to celebrate my daughter's kindergarten graduation (yea Anna!!), we went to dinner at a nice seafood restaurant in town. As we were driving, I mentally decided that John was picking up the tab for the nights festivities.
"Are you ready to order" inquired the server glancing at me.
"Yes, John replied. "I will have the lobster tail with a side of crap legs, a side salad with blue cheese dressing and can I see a wine list?"
I bend over and whisper to John, "I didn't bring my wallet so dinner's on you tonight". Okay so I lied, sue me.
"Ummm, waiter, I changed my mind, I will have the fish and chips and water with lemon" John corrected rapidly.
"And Madam, have you decided?"
"Yes, I will have what he originally ordered, that sounded delicious".

What a great way to out a mooch!
Reminds me of my ex's favorite excuse for not paying. We'd be out at a restaurant, the check would come and he'd feign looking through his wallet. He'd look at me and say 'Oh. I don't have any cash on me....'
Oh yes. Because a chain restaurant would NEVER take a credit/debit card.
Oh well. He tried. He gets an 'A' for assy.

Hell NO, he doesn't know about it. I have been pissed off enough to send him a link but decided against it. Honestly, he wouldn't be shocked but probably a little embarrassed.

Actually, I should add that I paid for my own wedding ring along with his and the entire wedding. All this and he was the one who talked me into getting married. Of course, he may be mentally ill but he isn't stupid. He made out great. Bastard.

I ran across your blog, and I absolutely loved it. It is great. I had an ex that wanted me to count the squares of toilet paper that I used, just because that is what he did. He apparently thought that I would do it. Also wanted to apply my toothpaste to my toothbrush everytime that I brushed my teeth. He said that I used way too much toothpaste.
P.S. I am not married to the jerk anymore, I got brave and left him. LOL.

If your ex took the time to count how many squares of toilet paper HE had to use, he'd be in the bathroom for quite awhile considering what a HUGE ASS he is.

Christine, LOL! A little embarassment might do him good.
Sounds like something I'd pull. "Oh yes, that sounded delicious! I'll have that. And he'll have a side of crow."
