When (some) wives get involved......

put my little tractor for sale on a forum here. Same forum a guy has one like mine and wants a front loader for it. I told him there were 3 in ebay at the moment. day or so later, I get an email from the guy saying they were too far away and asked what I'd take for the one on my tractor. Told him 900 bucks (flex a little) with all hydraulic hoses,/controls, fork, bucket, and rear 3PH weight. Price I gave him was about 200 bucks higher than just the frame and arms have been going for. He says good and for me to take it off and he'll come get it (sent him a bunch of pics)...
His wife got wind of it somehow and sent us both emails with a bunch of ebay links for frontloaders (not tractor specific and varying degrees of condition/complete that were at 8 or 9 buck bids and telling him how stupid he was and me how much of a crook I am......Didn't humor her with anything other than "it's no longer for sale".............

ebay is so much less headache for a guy that's trying to hone his people skills.....

Wow you know who wears the pants in that family. Or like my buddy always says "you need to go ask your wife if you can have your balls back, that she has in her purse"...........

When I was stationed in Buffalo, a Volvo was given to me, because no one would do anything about moving out of the parking lot. The young girl who was giving it to me had signed the title, yet, never sent it for the one that she would give over to us. My wife ran down to the DMV with the messed up title. Walked to the woman at the counter, asked for a pen, and in front of the woman at the DMV scribbled out the other girls signature and signed it saying that someone had misspelled her name. Despite the words, "Void If Altered" printed all over where my wife had been rewriting, the DMV gave her the registration and new title. I called her the "Godmother of the housewife mafia".
