Hahahahaha- I get to play the bitch woman from HELL when we go out shopping. I LOVE it. When we bought my husbands last car and the salesman gave his final offer I said "Mr X, you said you weren't going to BUY a car, we were just supposed to be looking, I am sick of this- this is way too expensive and I DON'T like it.". The salesman (no doubt appalled by my disrespect to Mr. X) sidled up to me and began extolling the virtues of the car. Beginning with its leather seats. I then proceeded to tell him how much I hated leather, how this was actually a drawback since we live in a place that gets to be 300 degrees and sitting on leather is like sitting on a frying pan that's been heated. By the end they caved in and sold the car to my poor hen pecked husband (who I wasn't going to "allow" to spend more than "x" amount of dollars- the figure Mr. X told me he wanted to spend.) They had their revenge though- they asked Mr. X if he wanted coffee or tea but they ignored me. Well for several thousand dollars I can make my own damn drinks at home.
