butthead

[Mitzi]

We went to Sams's today. We have been long time customers. Well, my H has a card withoiut his picture on it. We get up to the regiter and the woman said, "I'm sorry, sir, but since you have a card with no picture on it, I will have to see your liscence and two forms of ID" He asked her, "Do you have a pair of scisors? I'm going to cut this card up" She gave him a pair of scissors and he did so.
Then he told her and the manager who wandered up, "Y'all can stick your stuff where the sun don't shine". I was stunned.
We are now not speaking because I thought that ws an immature thing to do.
He's a butthead.

Your husband, you mean?

It's kind of odd. The guy in front of me at Best Buy a few weeks ago flipped his lid and was screaming for about five minutes after she asked for ID with his credit card. Mind you, he didn't sign it ... and wrote "check photo ID" on the back.

Mind you, I don't sign my credit cards and write "Check photo ID" on the back, too. And I LOVE it on the rare occasions when someone actually asks for ID!

Mitzi, was he paying cash?

[InSane1]

Its a testosterone thing Mitzi. They are all like that. They all think they are smarter than everyone else and prove it by doing/saying stupid things. Mine used to own a Ford and called Chevy's rust buckets... now he owns a Chevy and says the same thing about Fords. .. oh yeah.. and he hates Dodge.

Geez, InSane, wonder what he says about his ex-lovers and his future lovers!

[Mitzi]

He was paying by check. But I figured it out...He's a butthead with PMS.
I don't see what the big deal was still. He just said they let him IN with the card, he wasn't jumping through their hoops.
Did I mention he can be very strange about somethings? Been married to hm 32 years and still can't predict him.

DEMS IS FIGHTIN WORDZ!

[Mitzi]

You hold him down and I will stomp on what he least needs....his head. lol
You men CAN be very unpredictable, you know. A neighbor once wanted to give me a bird bath she hated. Her H wanted it but instead of SAYING so, he says, "If you give away the birdbath, I'll have to chop down the tree it's under cause it won't look right." She and I looked at each other and we both burst out laughing. He stormed in the house. Then, he storms back out and says, "I gather YOU can't afford your OWN birdbath? " (I had not asked for it).
I said, "Sucker, I can afford one prettier then that one and I will leave you to yours....Stick it where the sun don't shine".
MEN!

Corporate America is actively dictating every facet of our lives....to the point that someday, 'you' will have to 'prove YOU are YOU' to your face in the bathroom mirror.

You said you and your husband have been SAM's members for a long time. Did you receive notice of their switching to a photo-ID-type card? I can't help but wonder, w/o the 'currently approved' card, how you were able to enter SAM's. Someone slipped up.

It's the same sort of actions that 'permit' big businesses, such as SAM's, to DEMAND to see your checkout receipt as you exit after PAYING for your merchandise. Once it's paid for, you don't HAVE to show them ANYthing(I think we've had this discussion before).

Back to your husband. I applaud his action. He wasn't 'pitching a fit'...he was FIGHTING BACK.

[InSane1]

Good Gawd man.... Sit down shooter. Just SIT there.... and look pretty. *shakes head* I swear!

The thing I like about Sam's is that once you have paid for all your stuff, you still have to face "THE DOOR NAZI!"

The last time I was at Sam's, as I checked out, the women behind the counter was speaking spanish in reference to me and what I was attempting to purchase. I said, "if you are talking to me, you need to speak english."

She ignored me, so I called the manager. He said it was against the law to tell someone what language to speak at work. I told him that I did not care what the law said, I knew it was RUDE to speak a language your customer did not understand. He said that some people DID care what the law said and that there was nothing he could do. I told him to shove my Sam's card in his ***, and that I would find a place to shop where I could speak to the employees in english, and they would return the favor. Haven't been back since. F*** them.

I'm sensing bitterness here.... I taste blood.

He said it was against the law to tell someone what language to speak at work.

I've gotta remember that.....and learn Swahili before school starts in August.
