We Saw JoeJack's Temper Last Week

Marilyn came in one morning telling us that she had to go get JoeJack a new phone because his was broken. {and why can't he do it himself???}

She called the local business to have them get everything ready for her so she could just pick it up and go. She was told that it would be between $200 & $400 depending on which model she wanted.

"But I have a 2 year contract.", she tells them. They must have told her that having a contract is for service - and they don't provide a free phone/replacement.

She then tells them that they had insurance on the phone. The person looked at the records and told her that when they did the last insurance replacement they did not repurchase the insurance. She was upset because it was something she was supposed to be proactive about and it wasn't automatic - meaning it was her fault. So she kept throwing out the "2 year contract" and "nobody told me I had to repurchase insurance" hoping to change their mind - didn't work.

Just as she hung up the phone..... JoeJack walks in. She tells him it's going to cost $200-$400 and he hits the roof and starts blaming her. She knew what was getting ready to happen because as she was telling him, she started trying to guide him to the door.

They went out to the parking lot - we couldn't hear ... but we could see. He was animated .... moving his arms around and a couple of times pointing at her.

Do we feel sorry for her? NO..... It's her choice - and she does have a choice in the matter. Why does she put up with this? Who knows? Maybe it's because he's so much fun in their new hot tub. {yuk yuk yuk} It's sure not because of money. He lives in HER house (she makes sure never to say "our house".... it's always "my house").... She gets enough alimony from her ex-husband that she doesn't need his financial help. She (jokingly admittedly) uses him for construction jobs around the property - but we'd pay for that before we'd live with him!

We'd just kick his butt to the curb!

The ending of the phone saga .... apparently it had gotten wet .... (hot tub?) .... and the time it spent in Marilyn's vehicle.... dried it out, according to her.
