Why does anybody maintain bonds with asshole parents? I take great delight in listening to her rant about him, yet I know when he finally assumes room temperature shes going to be all crazy and upset over it!
Inheritance? Inheritance? :smack:
She & her siblings were looking at close to 6 million until his 2nd picked him clean.
He also owes the IRS close to 350K, and the State of Wisconsin over 40K…
Inheritance? Bwaahahahahahahaha! :mad: 
My FIL once smoked in our bathroom.
When he came out and sat down, I got up, looked at him, and said “If you ever do that again, you can pay for a hotel room and meet your daughter and granddaughter at restaurants. My home, my mortgate*, my salary paying for it, my rules. Capice?”
He capiced.
God gave you life
So get out of mine
And take your sorry ass
Back to Florida
You’re not welcome here
Ain’t it perfectly clear
Take your sorry ass
Back to florida
You bring us down
Don’t come around
You bring us down
You bring us down

Posting on this board is just like playing baseball. If you swing at everything in the strike zone you’ll have to make solid contact eventually.
Of course, I also strike out a lot.
I call that the “Shotgun Method”. If I throw out…oh, I don’t know, say 3,847 pellets…one of them is bound to hit sooner or later.
Well, I have to agree that that one was really freakin’ funny.
NOW I’M REALLY PISSED!
My wife called me at work and told me the AC won’t go on. That’s never happened before. My sisters husband stopped over and checked everything out and could not determine why it won’t work. Couldn’t find any circuit breakers or switches or thermostats not working. He knows what to look for so I trust his judgement.
So now the HVAC company has to come over.
The thing is still under warranty, but still. Now it’ll be a hot house when I get home.
I can’t imagine running it for hours with 2 big windows open did any good.
I gotta go
You don’t suppose Mr. Handy-Fix-It F-I-L decided to “adjust” the controls to keep the temperature in the “right” range, do you? :eek:
My B.I.L. left me a message about 15 minutes after my last post. He found the problem: Theres a switch inside the housing of the furnance. The switch is kept pushed in by a thin strip of metal which makes contact with a metal door on the housing. The purpose of this seems to be that when the housing is taken off the fan can’t blow. A safety messure.
B.I.L said the piece of metal was wrapped around the switch 3 times, and could only have been done on purpose. Nobody has been inside that housing since we had the vents cleaned 2 years ago. “Somebody”( :rolleyes: ) went in there and did that.
After 26+ years this thing is about to hit critical mass, folks! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: X 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000…
That is …beyond acceptable. But don’t blowup: losing your temper makes you look less reasonable and all. Try for icy disdain. Tell him what you discovered, make reference to the other ways in which he has tried to overthrow your (the homeowner) wishes on the airconditioning, and tell him that he’s used up his three strikes and so:
1: You demand that he get out of my house that instant. (Okay, let him pack his stuff.)
2: You inform him that he had just received a THREE YEAR banishment from my house, one year for each twist of that metal.
He can still see his daughter – he’s just allowed to step inside your house.
The part of me that loves shcadenfreude really wants you to go have a big blowup with this guy and post a hilarious follow up about it. But the part of me that likes living in a civilized society thinks you need to go cool off before you calmly throw his ass out of the house.
Best if you can get him to admit doing it first, otherwise he will deny it for years.
Dun-dun-DUN!
Respectfully disagree with StarvingButStrong, probably best if you don’t put conditions on it. Keep it really simple - he mucked with your house, he did it in such a way as to intentionally decieve you, ergo he needs to get lost. You can work the rest of the details out later.
That’s key right there. Unless you can get him to fess up, you will most certainly be the bad guy here. And if he’s manipulator (slimeball, etc) you’ve posted he is, he will be nothing but a thorn, and will try to get his daughter to take his side. Make sure you have your forces (i.e. the wife) firmly on your side before you start a war.
Good luck.
Yep, you’re done with him. At this point, if he stays there any longer, there will be bloodshed, and your wife will miss you and all that hot cum when you’re in jail.
I assumed his brother was sleeping and was not a participant.
:eek: I would be pissed off if my roommates pulled that shit, nevermind their parents! I can’t imagine your roommates were too happy at all.
Er, yeah, that he does seem to be. You know. Being your FIL and all.
(Seriously though, that stinks.)
I can commiserate. I was lookin’ at 4+ solid years of university classes and dorm rooms in far-away states, zero hours of work, and lots and lots of time away from my parents with no fiscal responsibility whatsoever…until the fadda uncharacteristically stuck the whole college savings fund (which was as old as I was) into a then-hot tech portfolio (1998).
Getting him to confess to the metal twisting should, IMHO, be easy.
You: Drat. The air conditioner’s not working right. Anyone want to try to fix it?
F-I-L: Sure. I’ll have another go at it.
You: Excuse me? What do you mean by “another go?”
F-I-L: Well, I fixed it earlier today.
You: YOU DANGEROUS, SELFISH, IDIOT! I TOLD YOU DON’T MUCK WITH MY HOUSE! GET OUT. NOW!
Could be therapeutic.
busy scanning the local papers for ‘domestic violence arrests’, or ‘beheadings’
BTW, Monty, I don’t think the FIL tried to fix the furnace, I think his motive was to disable the whole unit making the A/C innoperable.
As soon as I got to this bit I knew it had to be either in-laws or parents. They have miraculous powers to annoy.
