Did I Mention My In-Laws?
...and how they piss me off?
Arghhhhh... Took my wife to Home Depot last night because we are looking into putting Laminate flooring down in our living room and new carpet in our family room. The mother-in-law had to come along of course.
Anyways, while we were calculating costs, colors, etc... my cell phone rings. Its some people I had called earlier who had Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs for sale. They inform me that the dogs are purebred, but dont come with any papers, so they only cost $200. This is a pretty good deal, as papered Ridgebacks can run anywhere from $500-$1500 depending on their lineage.
So, I tell the wife about this in earshot of the monster-in-law. "Itll ruin your new carpet!" Is the first thing I hear out of her mouth before I am even done telling my wife about it.
Arghh! I dont want your input! You dont live with us! The new carpet has a warranty! The new carpet is quality stuff, not the crap that came with the house when it was built! And, if done right, accidents by puppies can be limited a great deal!
Of course, that wasnt the only advice I had to hear all evening... what color carpet looked better, what tile would be better, why we should leave the tile down instead of tearing it up (the only point I could agree with her about)... and so on, and so on...
Just another reason I hate going shopping with them.
Pics for your amusement!
