Selfish.

My drive into work started out great. I was getting to work on time - minimal traffic - after work I was going to be able to see Keith. Things were going great until I heard this on the radio:

Here's the story:

A couple - we'll call them Jack and Jill - have been married for a year. When Jack finds out how much money they got from their wedding, he wants to use $14,000 of it to buy two jet-skis. His wife says, "no, BUT, if you come up with $7000 as a down payment, you can finance the other $7000." So Jack busts his ass on construction jobs, etc. with friends and comes up with the $7000 and did just that -put a down payment down and got a loan for $7000. Jill is pissed. When Jill is home one day, the bank places a courtesy call on the first payment, "I don't know if you didn't receive your payment coupons or not, but your payment is due on the jet skis." Jill is now mad. So what does Jill do to teach Jack a lesson? She calls up her friend who comes over with her big SUV, hooks up the jet skis, and her friend takes the jet skis over to her house to hide behind the garage.

Jack comes home. "Where are the jet skis?"

Jill: "Well because you were late on your first payment, the bank came and took them and said you can have them back when you pay $3500 (half balance)."

Jill's reasoning: He should have spent the money on me since I always wanted to go on a cruise or money on our house.

Radio DJs: When you made the agreement with him, did you bring up the cruise or the house?

Jill: Well, I cut out pictures of places I wanted to go...

Radio DJs: Did you verbalize to him about the cruise or the house?

Jill: No, but he should have known. He's very irresponsible. You guys don't understand.

The sickening part was Jill thought every single woman that heard her story would agree with her.

I don't.

She made a deal with her husband who worked hard for nine months to come up with $7000 for the jet skis. Jill said her only purpose for making the deal was that she didn't think he'd actually come up with the money. That doesn't mean you don't honor it. Why yes, I would rather use $7000 on the house or doing things for BOTH of us, that's not the point. She never once said, "$14,000...I don't know, honey. We're just starting out, and there are some things that we could use that $14,000 on around the house, etc." Did she say that? No. She offered him the deal, he took it, and now she's taking back the deal because she didn't think he'd hold up his end.

Women like this sicken me. Materialistic, selfish, succubus. Let's see how long this marriage lasts when the husband comes up with $3500, goes to the bank, and they say, "what are you talking about?"
