I love my parents…but…

When I’m asked if I have a .70 1/2” pvc coupling (so he doesn’t have to go and buy one).  I had one.  Then asked “do you need it? Yes I do, when I’m 15 minutes from the nearest hardware store and a riser decides to break.  But I’m glad I saved you .70 dad!  We’ll just have a guy break route when the time comes and add :30-:45 minutes to our day!  That, or I’ll go buy one to replace it.  .70 isn’t making or breaking the business for write offs. 

Fast forward: hey dad, I’m looking to buy a 1300 item from HD.  Wanna ride along and I’ll give you my card for the vet discount?  He says yes.  Woo!  Then asked me how much it was.  He didn’t want them checking and seeing the card being used was a business or my personal card.  C’mon dad.  I saved you .70 and now I’m looking to save 130 you wanna play that?  He said yes if I gave him cash.  :eyeroll:  I’ll give you cash dad.  But seriously? 

[BLEEP], second thought, maybe I shouldn’t do this.  If he’s asking favors for .70 and I save 130…. I may be asked for my TP that we all toss.  You know, that two to three sheets that are attached to the roll we all throw away.  I almost text him “never mind” but my wife said I WAS  being the [BLEEP].
