My husband is a moron.
Phone rings. DH calling.
DH: “Some guy flagged me down and said he could fix the dent on my car for $100″
Me: “You pulled over for someone that flagged you down on the side of the road?”
DH: ” It was at a light. Should I do it?”
Me: “Let me get this straight. Your going to let someone you don’t know who flagged you down try to pop a dent out of your INFINITI.”
DH: “I have to let you go, he is doing it!”
Phone goes dead.
I wait…I wait….I call back. Goes to voice mail.
I’m imagining him dead. I call back. He answers.
Me: “Are you OK?”
DH: “yeah, he already did it.”
Me: “Are you going to pay him $100?!?!??!”
DH: “It looks OK, it needs work. He said pay him what its worth, I think $35.”
Me:” So your going to drive to the ATM with this guy so he can rob you? You know this is how people get killed right? I want you to think of how you would feel if i pulled over for someone and then drove them to the ATM.”
DH: “I know.”
Me: “Give him atleast $50 so he doesnt rob you.”
DH: “OK”
Me: “Are you in a public area?”
DH: “yes:”
We get off the phone. I’m seething.
He calls back to tell me he is alive.
I think he can count his lucky stars he wasn’t jacked. I bet no one can beat that today.

I think alive is a relative term here. Yes, the man may no thave killed him over his PIN code at the ATM< but it’s at home he needs to be afraid.
That is well….not something I would EV-AH live down if I had accepted…in fact, my husband might have killed me himself.
Hope the car looks better??
OMG…My husband would KILL me if I ever did anything like that. What was he thinking? You hate to be so suspicious and paranoid about people. Obviously this guy was just trying to make an honest buck but it’s so sad that we feel like we can’t really trust strangers anymore.
Thanks for the laugh!
In my defense the car looks better and I did get the guys information.
This reminds me of the V8 commercials. Chris needs a smack on the forehead…what was he thinking.
that is too funny!!!
