She might *say* she loves you, but she's thinking you're the worlds biggest dumbass and is looking for a smarter husband. She knows she has to divorce you now before you lose everything $300 at a time.

So you're telling me she'll be gone within two weeks when the money dries up? Ouch, I'm screwed. No more sammich's I guess.

 

[TheVrolok]

Wow. Bad move man, bad move.

Where the hell did you get that idea? is this your first day on AT???

This is AT. We're all millionaires and have supermodel wives. Woulda thought we'd be a little higher on the totem pole.

Wow! My roommate just call his "girlfriend's" number, a guy answered. He said that he doesn't but his friend does. Then we handed off the phone to my Indian roommate, and he talked to him with an Indian accent.

*In Indian Accent*
RM: "I'll tell you what buddy, my driveway is shit. I need fixing."

Him: "I can have the guy who does it give you a call tomorrow."

RM: "No no, not tomorrow, tonight."

We burst out laughing, and he hangs up.

If you bother him enough, he'll just come back and roll black paint on your driveway. That's what I thought the thread was going to be anyway.

You must have missed the thread where the guy paid $600+ for a locksmith to wreck his door.

Wow, that thread is amazing. What the hell goes through these people's heads?

Go fill the girlfriend's driveway. 😉

Has no one texted "Pics?" or "Tits or GTFO!" yet?

 

[KK]

you think he has unlimited texting?

Can't tell if it's the right carrier or not, but it isn't giving an error message on the number.

OP have you canceled the check yet? If not then you are twice the idiot.

with semen?

edit: What the hell, you can't post all caps any more?

 

[Gunbuster]

Dang dude, you don't even have some shitty $5 speakers to show for it...

 

[HardcoreRobot]

people like you keep the scammers around. thx.

Also, giving a deposit to a contractor is not unheard of. When I was working for a contractor he would charge 50% down to cover materials and part of the labor and the rest on completion of the job

(and no, we didn't fix driveways 🙄)

 

[compman25]

Silly Canadians.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Did the girlfriend atleast give you a happy ending for the $300?

 

[RedRooster]

The day after I still had a bad feeling and told the wife we should. The guy was down the street doing two neighbor's driveways, so I figured there was still a chance and we didn't cancel it. Oh well, too late for tears now.

 

[Ksyder]

Surely you must have some recourse... call the bank and see what they can do. Obviously they know what account that money went into.

 

[LTC8K6]

His name was Rob...

 

[lurk3r]

Everyone call his girlfriend asking if she can come do anal porn
