I am the stupidest person on the face of the earth!

Post Reply New Topic

Remember when DH went to jail for not paying the fine for running over that POS dog that was laying in the road in an area with a leash law? Then he got out and we been paying off the fine for two months? The thing said it was due on the 17th, but I can't find that paper. I called today to see if I could mail it instead if the money order is dated before the 17th and I was told it was due the 14th this time. WTF??? So tomorrow we go back to court. He's furious. We are going to pay it, but there is no guarantee that the judge won't lock his ass up to do the time. For running over an old, small dog, laying in the MIDDLE OF THE f*****g ROAD.

He's all mad at me, I have to get up and get dressed decently in the morning so I can go sit in the courtroom and put on my scatterbrained "I Love Lucy" act so maybe the judge will let him go.

Jesus.

Plus, Saturday and yesterday my younger son's gf got caught shoplifting (shoplifting crap, so it's an addiction not just thieving) and she went to jail last night but she's out now. I don't know what the hell to do.

I have the flu on top of it all.

Sorry you are having do endure what only can be called a s**t storm.
Hope you get over the flu and it all works out.

No, I'd say more like stupidest laws on the planet. He went to jail for accidentally running over a dog that was illegally off its leash? What the f**k?

#1 - it was *DH's* penalty for *his* actions, not yours
#2 - DH should have been responsible for paying his fine and keeping track of any relevant paperwork, not waiting until last minute to figure it all out. Jail should have been enough incentive to do that.
#3 - DH should not be mad at you, when it was HIS actions that got him in jail, not yours
#4 - by accepting responsibility, you are enabling the poor/irresponsible behavior of your DH
#5 - DH has to grow up and put on his big boy pants and accept all consequences of his actions or inactions, and not keep making everyone else responsible for his mistakes

Sorry, I will get off my soapbox.

Thank you Mykassina for telling it like it is...it's not a soapbox when it's DH who needs to clean up his act. I know you say it's your territory OOM, but it soulds like you might be enabling him. Grownups take resposibility for their own actions and they pay their bills, it's just that simple.

And OliveOilMom...you are NOT the stupidest person on the planet, unless you are allowing others to somehow make it your responsibility to FIX their bad behavior. That would be stupid on your part, but still not stupidest...such labels must be reserved for people who do things like cut off their own heads with chainsaws and play russian roulette etc.. you're way too far up the darwin ladder for such tags.

Also, if it were my son's gf, unless you're absolutely 100% certain she's totally innocent, I'd be telling my son to reconsider his choices and that it's hard to trust someone with that kind of behavior in one's home.

just my 2 cents, and I hope things calm down for you soon - you sound like you could use a break from users.

It's not your fault. You're just trying to help your son, but he's got to learn to take responsibility of his own actions.

I think all the members of congress AND the members of all 50 state legislatures are WAYYY ahead of you on the "stupidest person on earth" title.

Anyhow, It sounds more like it's the people around you that you have to deal with, who are the problem, not you.

IMO it's okay to have a division of labour , so to speak, in a marriage if both parties agree to it (e.g one partner works out of the home and one does most of the cooking and cleaning or one takes care of the money the other takes care of home repairs ect.) If I were married I would prefer this type of arrangement to anything else.

Regardless, you're not the stupidest person on the planet, OOM! It was an honest, human mistake. I've lost a lot of very important things before (I lost my purse which had my health card and passport in it once). It happens.

You're far from being the stupidest person on the face of the planet. Hitler was the stupidest person at one time. The two of you are opposites.

Oh it's all worked out The judge let him go and let him pay it.

As for my son's gf. We had a talk. She's not good at that. It does not need to be her career choice. I pointed out that her being a thief as a living would be like me being in public relations.

Sorry you have to deal with so much BS.....anyways you're not stupid.

I am sorry all of this is happening; and I am sorry for what I said over a week ago. I was just kinda venting my frustrations then.
