my boyfriend said he'd do the grocery shopping tonight, so i wrote down what i wanted him to pick up and told him to get "dinner" stuff...

not only did he spend $100 on groceries (more than we budgeted for), he did not get a number of things on my list

i wrote them down so he would not forget them...

dammit

so, to get even, i'm drinking tequila

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Was the tequila on your list?

Just askin'....:shrug:

:popcorn:

[fizzgig]

3. no...

it was a special purchase afer he went to work

[Blue-Jay]

2. Maybe he had some things *he* wanted to get.

Didja ever think of that?

[fizzgig]

4. i accounted for that...

i asked to get the stuff on my list and then the stuff he wanted

he ignored some of the things on my list that i said i'd pay for out of my own pocket

[Blue-Jay]

6. Well, I guess he just doesn't follow directions very well.

Have another shot of tequila. That'll teach him.

5. Welcome to DU.

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Ditto that!

Welcome to the DU

kagehime! :hi:

11. might as well welcome me and CG too

she has been here longer than we have, although she has far, far fewer posts. However, if I were to post a thread I probably would not get this many replies in it. Perhaps people know me too well, as a gadfly.

She may have the DU record for the longest time to reach 100 posts. Is anybody keeping track?

7. If you had written the directions to the store down...

they would have been ignored as well. And that's just the way it is. Hey, the list might have found it's way into the G-string of some dancing establishment's hospitality service representative, so I figure you're ahead.

This reasoning should in no way deter you from your appointment with the tequila.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[NMMNG]

8. That's his way of making sure you *never* ask him to do the shopping again

He's not stupid at all, he is actually very clever.

You just have to outsmart him. Have more tequila and "forget" how to do something he likes. :evilgrin:


And welcome to DU

[Heidi]

10. Drinkin' tequila: _That'll_ sure teach him! (nt)

[KitchenWitch]

12. Welcome to DU

[Robeson]

13. Oh Damn! Pass that tequila! I'll drink some with you....

....:beer:

14. He gets to make meals for the next week.

You do bathrooms, he does kitchen. Live and learn.
