I had a senior moment

[WealthAndDemocracy]

Last year I replaced several windows in my house and they were the expensive double-pane energy efficient kind.

But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work has been completed for a whole year and I had had yet to pay for them.

Boy oh boy did we go 'round. Just because I'm old doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year. . that in one year the windows would pay for themselves.

There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven't heard back. . guess I must have won that silly argument

10. I am offended, how can you not pay the man for his work

it's crazy pinko, commie, hippie, late drinking, body piercing, proper speaking jerks that ruin our country :-)

Maybe it is a joke, but I am still outraged because.

11. ROTFL!

It's a joke. I didn't really get new windows either. :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. You didn't even get new windows, and the guy is still calling you to pay?

That's just elder abuse, man. Elder abuse.

[Exultant Democracy]

16. Call the Grey Panthers we need to march

this abuse of elders will not stand.

The good news is that it is an election year, I bet we can get congress to pass a bill that requires all windows to pay for themselves in one year, and then pay for your prescription medicine every year after that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. ROTFL!

That's great! I hope you have that written in the contract. :evilgrin:

I'm passing that joke on.

[Lostmessage]
