The coffee we make at home is from Starbucks beans we get at the big-box store
in 2½ pound bags, and presumably to encourage recycling, Starbucks promises a
free cup of coffee if you return the empty bag to the store. So in spite of not
having much occasion to use them, we save them, and they have piled up to the
extent that MrsBlue finally declared we were just dropping the whole pile of
them off at the store to be done with it. I objected strongly on principle, as
it seems silly to forego freebies, but she pointed out that a bunch of them have
already expired, and I couldn't argue that this didn't demonstrate that these
were going to waste anyway. But when we showed up at Starbucks, the person at
the counter actually looked aghast when we offered this large bag of empties.
She said if we dropped off the whole pile they would just be thrown in the
garbage, and she wouldn't even take two bags in exchange for our coffees. So we
got our free coffee, and walked out with exactly the same number of bags as we
walked in with (and the impression that our sack of empty bags entitles us to
Cosmo Kramer-style free
coffees for life). The married men among you know what I mean when I say
it's hard to eek out even a small win an argument like this with one's wife, but
a resounding victory like this is pretty unprecedented.

No, that is not normal. It is normal for the henpecked men who married women with the "entitled princess" syndrome. Blue I cringe when I read about your jokes concerning everything you are and are not "allowed" to do.
Stand up for yourself damnit. |
