Entertain me ...
I'm at work. And would rather be at home. Anyone have a good story? Please entertain me!
Re: Entertain me ...
It's not really a good story, but it's what's on my mind right now...
I almost thought there was fraud on my account, but now that the system has updated for the day I can see that everything was totally my fault. Oops.
I try to be very budgeted and organized with our finances. Last night I went grocery shopping very late, not at my local place. I attempted to use the debit card for our "bill money" account and it was denied.
I was mortified. I quickly pulled out a different card as the cashier-in-training's supervisor told me to swipe my card again.
When I got home I see one lump sum on my list of debits. I absolutely had not spent this exact amount anywhere.
Today the account updates and I see it was numerous bill payments that together equaled that amount. Then I'm freaking out wondering how in the world we didn't have enough money in there to cover the bills.
Then I notice they are next month's payments, however, next months deposits haven't been made yet. Ahhh... trying to get ahead I entered all the payments and forgot to change the date for withdrawal.
If you're still reading this you must be bored, but thanks.
Summer, I'm sorry. I hate when that stuff happens. We had something similar happen a couple of months ago and I was losing my mind ...
Eva, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hear!
I decided to brave the weather and go to Wawa for some cereal (we ran out). So I just put on my coat, sneakers, no bra, glasses, sweatpants, raggedy t-shirt, and tied my hair back into a ponytail.
When I got home I was on the porch putting my key in the lock and my loose baggy sweatpants FELL DOWN!!
Like around my ankles kinda fell down!! But my coat was pretty long, nobody would have seen my fat ass and my granny "i have my period" panites, but they would have seen my pants around my ankles. I doubt anyone did, but I almose peed laughing about it! lol
Krista, you are definitely not a moron. That is definitely something I would do ... haha. I'm sorry. I could so see that exchange between my H and I ... I hope your morning has gotten better!
Thanks for the sympathy MrsDiss.
KRISTA!!!! Thanks for giving me my first giggle of the day.
I hope you're day is getting better!!!
OMG.. Krista that is so freaking funny, and I LOL'd b/c that is something I would totaly do. no lie. If i had remote start, I probably would have done that a couple of time by now.
Krista, that would so be something I would do!!
Summer- booo that sucks about the bills. At least it wasn't fraud! That's worse. Right before our wedding 2k got stolen out of our bill account. $500 twice a day. Thank god we checked the account randomly. Otherwise we'd have been in Hawaii defaulting on our mortgage.
hahahahaha Eva that story cracks me up every time!!!!!!!! I get such a visual of you and the raccoon!
Thanks for making me feel like less of a moron, girls! The look of shock and horror on my H's face was priceless. haha...oops!
You know how you can't turn on an automatic car if it's not in park? Well I was visiting my mom when I couldn't start my car to go back to South Jersey. So I had to spend the night unexpectably.
Pete left work early the next day and drove up to fix my car. He leaned in the car and took the shifter from "Drive" to "Park". My car started right up. Doh.
I'll throw a story out there. This is one of a million though...
DH was at the boat one day and had the propellors taken off the boat. Now it's a big boat and the props are about 4 feet around. A bunch of guys loaded them into the back of H's truck and we left. H was going to take them to the service shop about 45 minutes away, but they were closed that day. Well later that night it started to rain and I asked H if the props would be ok in the truck bed. He gave me a strange look and said they are too heavy for anyone to steal. I told him that it was raining and didn't want them to rust. It didn't take me long after blurting it out to realize that props are meant to live in the water. I have yet to live it down.
Great stories! I'll try to think of one that makes me look like an idiot - I know I have plenty!
