I just lost my shit at a lady from a patio company.
She asked me if my husband would be present for the quote.
I told her I had my husband's *permission*, if that's what she was worried about.
She said it's for "financial purposes," since "it's a large purchase".
I told her my husband doesn't give two shits about patios, so since he was needed, I'd better cancel.
I earn nearly three times what my husband does, but that's totally irrelevant. I didn't need him to hire a sparky, a snagger, a painter decorator for two weeks, or even a flooring company FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE.
