Things NOT TO SAY, to People Who Are Moving
"Moving is such a pain in the ass! Why don`t you just buy a place?"
In fact, we did, but it`s several thousand miles away. And much as I wish we were moving back to it right now, we can`t yet. But, thanks for the ass-vice!
And then when I complained to a different friend about how much money this move will cost us (since, in addition to the movers, we essentially paid double rent for most of February), and how I was even beginning to worry if all of our checks will clear after our credit-card autopay goes through this month (since Hub sometimes uses the card for business, and he`s entertaining guests from Japan this week), she said:
"Well, you`ll just have to move the money over from one of your other accounts!"
Hello! Earth to rich girl! Not all of us have those wonderful "other accounts!"
I know neither of those friends meant anything by their comments, but I`m a little bit...prickly these days, you know?

Once, when working for a job that barely paid the bills, or should I say, ALMOST paid the bills, my company had a problem which delayed our direct deposit by two or three days. I had checks bounce. I wanted the controller to call the bank and get them to reverse the bank charges, since it was not my fault, which he thankfully did, but not before advising me to "Keep more money in my account in the future". Wish I had had the guts to say, "Pay me more, and I will." I have the guts now, but that was about 15 years ago. Sigh.
Hey, could I get a loan from one of your other accounts?? Sometimes peoples are idiots. They need to use their noodles for things other than botox.
