minor things that make you fume

Parking

I went to park just off Dale Street earlier today. The only way to pay was via coins, which I haven’t had with me frequently since about 2014, or an app. Was it one of the 5 parking apps I already had? Of course not. I now have 6 parking apps on my phone.

Why can’t they just put a chip and pin machine there? We even have that in Heswall ffs. Felt like burning the thing down.

It's got to be easier just leaving a handfull of change in your van surely?
I mean, that's why they have ash trays isn't it?
 
I'm in the doghouse. There's a mood in the house. Am I in the wrong?

The missus has one nephew. He lives 12 miles from us south of Swindon, we live north of it, away with his parents. He's 23, has a job in London, commutes. The missus us very generous - overly generous to him in my mind. A hundred notes at Christmas. Always gets spending money when he gets a holiday, she paid for training when he got a dog etc.

Tonight we have 3 theatre tickets, but our daughter can't make it, so it's been offered free, gratis, to the lad.

Before the theatre we have planned to meet friends for dinner in the centre of town. This is a relief because otherwise I know full well my car and my fuel would be used as a taxi to pick him up and take him to the theatre, turning our 12 mile round trip into a 30 mile one. It's what she does.

So I've just been asked if it's OK that we take him back. I had the affrontery to say no so now im a monster and theres been shouting (from her). I'm fed up of a low mileage car I bought, that she almost exclusively uses, being a free taxi for another family. He has a father and mother who can drive. He has access to a car and can drive himself. He's in the opposite direction, not en route, he's getting a free ticket. I drew a line.

I know it's a small thing, but it seems I'm a bigger monster now than his own bone idle father in my wife's eyes.

So now, blind to the entire logic, she's threatening to pay for his taxi home.

Offer to take him and his girlfriend on your ticket as well as the boss, and even pay for dinner out beforehand for the three, you can wait in the car all evening, unless they need someone to chew their food for em first...
