Re: Pet Peeves...
I know of a couple that I see quite often at the bars. They always claim they don't have much money, like they are on their last few dollars, but they are always drunk and smoke like chimneys. They wanted us to sell things on ebay for them because they didn't have internet connection anymore. They couldn't afford it. Then they had a fit that the items didn't go for as much as they wanted and that my husband took a percent out for listing it and his extra work (15%). They lost their house a couple years ago, because they couldn't make the payments.
Here's the kicker. They both work part time and won't work full time otherwise they won't get their money from the state. They both claim to have disabilities for injuries from car accidents. I'd believe it if I didn't see her out on the dance floor shaking her thing all the time. They can stand all night in the bar without a problem, but can't work full time? He used to make nice wood furniture on the side and would still do it, but no room for that in an apartment. Hmm, isn't that kind of like working full time?
They seemed surprised that we don't go out much on Fridays anymore in order to save money. They can't see themselves doing it. I'm not doing it because I want to, I'm doing it out of necessity.
