Not sure what to make of your post so I will just quote George Costanza.
Well, the jerk store called, and they are running out of you.

Actually the post makes a lot of sense. (Whether the circumstance was right or wrong).
It wasn’t all that long ago that the ‘lady of the house’ couldn’t sign for a driveway being resurfaced, plumbing work, buying insurance etc etc....the statement was “I will come back when your husband is home and you BOTH can sign the contract”. - Before you say it - if ONLY the husband signed the contract, business would continue.
And I am talking of the 70/80/90’s era.
Of course that ‘policy’ changed when hubby started saying ‘Hey, she is paying for it, I am not signing’, then the common sense thing to do was go with the flow and adjust to situations - or go out of business.
Which is the same tack they should have used with smoking in public places. If the business starts losing a lot of money because they allow smoking, they will change on their own rather than shut the door....common sense....
I’m listening.
Ok. I see your point. But I think it was HUD that stepped into the picture and made them stop presenting the document for signature. When we went to renew our lease a year after I signed the ‘no children’ agreement, that document was gone.
And sorry to be testy. I got no sleep last night and still feel terrible.
Similar situation although I hesitate to hijack the thread (again): when husband v.1.0 departed, I called the phone company to get the phone bill responsibility assigned to me. They said they couldn’t do it. My natural conclusion was, “So I don’t have to pay the phone bill because you’ll go after him, heh heh heh.” After a hurried conference with her supervisor, they made the change.
