Damn I am pissed off.....

[slipperyslope]

Little background on this situation. Everyday when I come home from school or work I take my wallet/keys/checkbook and put it on the coffee table OR my computer desk. Those are the two places downstairs that I can easily keep up with my stuff. I usually use the coffee table to pay my bills also. I have done this for about 4 years without a problem. Last Friday I paid a bill like normal at the coffee table.

Last Saturday, my girlfriend decided to clean the coffee table. She is one of those people that can't handle any clutter. Personally, I think the coffee table is not useful unless you are actually using it to put stuff on. She doesn't feel this way. She doesn't want anything on it except for drinks. Anyways, I think she cleaned the coffee table and threw out my checkbook. I had not touched it since Friday. So it either grew legs and walked away, she put it somewhere and doesn't remember now, or she threw it in the trash. Either way, today I have to go to my landlord and pay rent. Another issue is the problem that I have no idea what check number I wrote on Friday. I can't really call the bank and have them check #-# because I have no idea what numbers.

Of course, I love my girlfriend's responce to this situation, you have no proof I threw it out. She saw me Friday sit down and write a check out. She saw me leave it on the table. And of course she knows I don't ever really carry the thing around unless I have to since I use a debit card anywhere and anytime that I can.

I think I prefer my clutter because I may not be able to find things in 5 seconds but I at least know they are there. It just might take me 5 minutes to find it.

Well that is my rant for the morning.......

it is NEVER the womans fault, it is always yours!

Example: Last week my girlfriend put a plstic spoon in the dishwasher, on the top rack that has many grates. She leaves and i get home about 3 hours later. The apartment smells like burning plastic. I open the dishwasher and am attacked by the smell. She comes home, I ask her why she put it there, and sheyelled at me for it!! ARGH!!!

PS. It is that time of the month... again...

Damn, that sucks...........

 

[Nitemare]

Women are never wrong. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated..hehe

 

[samgau]

Thats the fun in having a gf/wife..... there is only one person to blame for everything that goes wrong... US aka the male in the house aka the "stronger" sex... yeah right...

 

[amdskip]

feel sorry for bump

 

[natto fire]

yeah dude there is now way you will win this argument. why the hell can't women just admit they are wrong every once in a while?!

 

[bacillus]

man I feel for you.
on another note, do you think your gf would cleanup my place if you sent her over as it's a mess at the moment??

A small piece of advice. If you have a "neat freak" mate or significant other.

Always have at least one place: desk, room, closet, whatever, that is completely off limits. Works very well, as long as you find a way to uphold the off limits rule. Has worked like a charm for 5 years running, before that it was an endless fight. Spare bedroom is my office, the door is always shut and nothing ever gets moved unless it's by me.

Rule #1: NEVER throw out ANYTHING of mine, I don't care if it's a snot rag, don't throw it out!

Rule #2: Over here is a place you can stack all my sh!t if you're feeling so anal that you can't stand leaving it where it is. I'll go through it when I get home.

Make these two rules, and you too can live a peaceful, happy life with a clean freak.

 

[Rifter]

women are nuts, plain and simple. Not that that would ever sto me from living with mine

 

[Emulex]

your screwed dude. She ownz j00 and will clean your stuff for as long as you keep her. Time to get organized and keep your stuff organized where you want it, or she'll be doing this for the rest of you two's existance

<< yeah dude there is now way you will win this argument. why the hell can't women just admit they are wrong every once in a while?! >>



:frown: Agreed

If you think you are mad now, just wait until somebody finds the checkbook, goes on a spending spree, and then the checks hit your bank.
You better go talk to your bank real quick. You might not remember the exact check numbers, but they should be able to help you out.

 

[slipperyslope]

It's all good, we figured out where she ended up moving it to. On Sunday we did laundry and she managed to put the dryer sheets on top of the checkbook on a shelf so that you couldn't see the checkbook. I just happened to bump into it at lunch. My eye just happened to catch a little blue thing under there.

I apologized to her for accusing her of throwing it out but I knew that it wasn't me that had misplaced it.

The problem with having a place off limits is that we live in a two bedroom apartment and there much room for that type of thing.

bah, i was just going to say just that: i doubt she threw it out... it's highly unlikely that she mistook a checkbook for scrap notes. She probably set it aside and forgot where it was.

Anyways, might be a good thing.. now you get to have makeup sex

is that really how she said it? you have no proof? i would have thrown her ass out if she replied with something like that.

 

[tommigsr]

man oh man...it's your fault

Get a new girlfriend. People don't change when it comes to things like that. She is guilty and we all know it.

She doesn't even know what a check book is?
