Ugh, after a long Thanksgiving break with DH's family we're back home.
Today I guess he decides to do office work and his let's check up on the wife and make sure she takes care of her things.
So apparently on Nov 14, I paid our Macy's bill for a couch we bought in March. I guess Macy's automatically defers billing for furniture purchases with a new card. Well I paid the bill, but today find out that I wrote the check for 30 cents less than the amount I should have. So I admit yeah I F'd up, my pregnant brain or what not I don't know now but clearly I wrote the check for 30 cents less. I even took the payment to the register and paid it at the store with DH by my side and we stated to the cashier we'd like to pay the whole thing. So fine she didn't even see my mistake.
Anywho, here it is 11pm and you know that store credit card people don't answer phone after business hours. He's breathing down my neck saying how can I be so stupid to write the check wrong. I said I don't know...but dude it happened and I F'd up. The only logical reason I figured is that the total bill due was $xxx.62 but the minimum payment was $32.00. So I think my distorted pregnant brain probably messed up there and shorted Macy's 30 cents.
I tell him I will call first thing tomorrow, I tried tonight no agents available. but oddly, the computer said there's a 30 cents credit but a 30 cents bill due for our next payment. Weird right. So I wonder if the cashier I paid punched it in wrong too...who knows. Of course I cleared my wallet out of the pile of receipts I had before our trip to Florida so I can't check it, but nonetheless I will check it when he's sleeping and not being a total ass.
I tell him I really doubt they will charge a finance charge of some ridiculous amount when it's only 30 cents. Do you have to act like I made some $30,000 mistake? Ugh I hate it when he has to be this self righteous I have to do everything myself guy when I goof. He goes on to say if they bill us for more than 30 cents you won't hear the end of it and I know he's a jerk when it comes to things like that so I know better but UGH do you have to be such a jerk.
So annoying...I mean fine I goofed up and I will do what I can to fix it. He claims that the store will not care that I goofed up 30 cents and yeah if he was being nice I could see his point but hell no he doesn't cut me no slack it's purely that I F'd up and now he claims has to be in charge of all finances because I'm an idiot.
I hate it when he does that. So I never catch it when he's wrong...oh well so he freakin' perfect. UGH I hate it when he acts this way I feel like taking DS and bundling him up and going outside and camping out in fron tof Macy's to pay this stupid 30 cents the minute they open and talking to the freakin' agent to make sure 100% that we don't owe any thing outside of that 30 cents. DH also claims that because the billing was defered because we didn't pay it all they have the right to charge us finances charges on the whole amount because we didn't pay the entire amount...regardless of 30 cents, 30 dollars or 3000 dollars. I see his reasoning but I don't think that's how it works. UGH!!!
SO frustrating.
Anyways, thank you for letting me vent. I needed that.
UPDATE:
So DH apologized last night for yelling and honestly he's normally a very pleasant easy going guy but his temper can get the best of him which has been his weak point. Granted I know it hurts to hear and yeah I don't necessarily like it but every so often it would be nice if he wouldn't get all wound up. Either way, I did go tot Macy's and paid the 30 cents and called and asked about finance charges, which is what I was worried about with Christmas upon us. Seems like they are excusing the 30 cents so hopefully it's all good now. I'll give them a ring later and check again just to make sure.
Thank you all though for hearing me out.
