"Referencing research pertaining to corporate psychopaths and how they operate in high-achieving roles in workplaces, Dr. Boddy explains female psychopaths tend to be more manipulative than males, use different techniques to create good impressions, and use deceit and sexually seductive behavior to gain social and financial advantages more often than male psychopaths."

    From earlier this evening...   My father in law lost his cell phone on the golf course this afternoon.  It was raining so we didn’t have much hope it would still be working but he shares the

I finally have one. 
Yesterday I walked into her office as she was on the phone talking to a customer. “Yada yada yada, your payment is in the rear, yada yada yada.” 
Now what she does with her body is her own business but after she hung up I said, “Did you mean to tell that gentleman that his payment is in arrears?”  

When you get an Samsung phone, you set it up with a Gmail account to access the PlayStore. Pretty typical.

Well, my wife was setting up something for my daughter in YouTube and used her Gmail address, but then set it with my daughter's birth date so it will be age appropriate.

Now she gets a warning her Gmail will be deleted in 28 days because she's "too young to have an unsupervised Gmail account". I tell her she needs to go in and change the birth date before things on her phone stop working. She starts arguing with me about how she has a school email and doesn't care if her Gmail account gets deleted. I tell her she needs the Gmail account for her phone so the apps will update and work properly. I look into it and see she has to do the update on a computer and not on her phone. She tells me she'll "get to it later."

She calls me today to tell me her Maps directions say she's offline and won't update for traffic. She's got cell signal and everything, tried rebooting, etc. I ask if she's updated her Gmail account yet. Of course not.

She's got 3 weeks left.

She’s probably right. I use various Google products without a gmail account. Google, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Drive. My Outlook email works just fine for all of them. (And fuck Google anyway because I’d prefer to not have them in my world at all and I long for the days before they were a thing.)

About her Maps problem. Do you even need to register to use Google Maps? I thought that was free use for everyone.

After the cracker barrel incident a couple of years ago. And the dead battery 5 years ago. I've decided to get out of any plans my in laws ever make if at all humanely possible. Example 3 @Knoxtnhorn

 

Sooo... we live in Allen, about an hour north of Downtown Dallas. A few weeks ago my wife said she was going to take the kids and go down to Austin (with her family) for her Grandmothers birthday. I said "Ok, that's fine. I'll probably need to work on that weekend so just don't include me in your parents/grandparents plans."

Fast forward to last night. "I'm probably going to go hang out with a couple of guys Saturday night."

Her : "You won't be home when we get home?"

Me :Thought you were going to be gone???"

Her : "We coming back after lunch."

After a long pause with a confused look on my face. "You're leaving Saturday morning? Are you driving with 3 kids under the age of 10 4+ hours to eat lunch and then driving back???? So like 9 hours in the car with a 6 month old, a 4 year old and a 10 year old?"

Her "When you say it like that it sounds like a stupid idea."

Me "I mean, it's your grandmother. I wouldn't do it, but whatever. Where are yall eating lunch?"

Her "................Denny's................"

I buy it. I'm not a psychopath but I have some sociopathic tendencies and can manipulate people easily. I rarely if ever manipulate anyone to the fullest extent I'm capable of because I'm also very empathetic and have a fairly solid moral compass and a good amount of integrity.

Your wives/ex-wives may or may not also have those characteristics.

My grandma kicked all kinds of ass before she passed.  Spoke 7 languages, was 4'8 and made fun of her height constantly, she was hilarious, was Russian but born in china, her dad was a Russian spy before leaving in the revolution to China.  She was a freaking riot, could tell a great story and had tons of them.  Even then I'm not sure I'd drive 4 hours both ways for a lunch at Denny's unless I knew it was the last time...

If I am willing drive 8 hours round trip to have a meal with someone, I would also be willing to pick up the check at a restaurant a notch or two above Denny’s.

Yeah. When I asked where they were eating. I wasn't being a dick. I figured they had something nice or different planned for the birthday. Like something special planned ..


But. I guess the rooti tooti fresh and fruity was good enough

That’s IHOP.  Denny’s is the Grand Slam.  I have nothing against Denny’s, I ate breakfast there every time I went fishing with my grandpa as a kid, and plenty of times at 3 a.m. later in life.  Denny’s has a space in the restaurant universe that it occupies well, but I ain’t spending 8 hours in a car with 3 kids to eat a grand slam.

Probably grandma's choice.

My wife grandmother (when still living) only ever wanted to go to one place - Luby's.

IHOP is a rung higher on the ladder.

I think it was. I still put on whoever planned this to pick a restaurant. Or at least make an afternoon of it or something.

You can't call it a hotel chain just because the unhoused sleep in the booths.  

I like to go to IHOP and order in German.  After all, it is the International House of Pancakes.

So, did she go through with it.

I guess I should have checked but she was pretty confident that last night was daylight savings.

No. he got out of it. Thank god

UPDATE : Apparently everyone who tired to go got stuck in traffic and never actually made it to Denny's and just drove/flew back to Dallas without seeing grandma

I just found an unopened Amazon box from 20 fucking 18. We needed a record play so bad we just couldn’t live without it. We have a cash flow problem, yet shit from Amazon just keeps showing up and getting shoved in a hole somewhere unopened.

I mean that was like 5 years ago.  I’d take this one as a win and start jamming some records.  Just make sure she opens the boxes with the records in it that she buys now…..

we didn’t have any records then, and we still don’t have any now. 

We went to the local Home Show yesterday so she could get some more ideas on how to spend money.  She went to a booth selling walk-in tubs. 

She asked the salesperson:  How does this work?  Do you get in, close the door and fill it up

Me:   I guess you could fill it up and then open the door, but that would be a little messy 

She:  Asshole

Go over the top like I do with ours. 

I was informed by my wife tonight that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "is not a C&W band."

That's actually a good thing; she would probably open them by cutting down on the vinyl.

Depending on which lineup she was referring to they could probably be called country, country rock, bluegrass, or even pop rock

I'm married, so...

I will let you ponder that one 

I just had the most incredible night’s sleep of all time. I’m in charge of the three month old’s nights and he slept straight through. 7 hours feels like 10.

wife is tired. “I went ahead and woke up at the new time, I just wasn’t sure that Rory would sleep in”

 Rory is three years old, can’t read a clock, doesn’t understand time, etc

I didn’t even blink an eye at this one. I verify anything that has to do with time or location.
