Can somebody help me carry a body?

edited May 2015 in Chit Chat
Ughhh. H tells me he is having friends over for "nerd games."  I am okay with this bunch of friends being at our house, as opposed to the wrestling friends because they are a tamer bunch. His wrestling friends destroy property that can be measured in dollars like a hurricane (Thank you, Louis C.K.)  I told H, as long as he picks up all of the beer bottles, he can invite his friends over. (He's leaving town this weekend, and I don't want the mess left behind).
  I get home from visiting my sister, and my H is sleeping on the couch.  20 minutes after I wake him, he lets me know his friend broke the leg of my dining room chair. I AM SO PISSED. My set was really unique and has been discontinued. (so we couldn't replace the chair). The leg is splintered in a few pieces. H said we could glue it.  I almost beat him with the broken leg.... it's not a coffee mug, it has to bear weight.   I know it was an accident, but I am still mad. 
   I'm going to bury the leg in the backyard.  If you listen, carefully, you will hear the sound of taps playing gently in the background.  The friend that broke the leg of the table was the same friend who broke H's sister's window by falling through it when they played games at her house a month ago.  I wish this guy would invest in ballet lessons.
  Thanks for letting me bitch about my first world problem.

    I'm definitely down to help you hide the body, if you help hide one in return.

    As far as the chair I suggest finding a furniture repair shop and seeing what they can do. FSS snapped the leg off a vintage chair if had for years and it was under 100 to fix it.

    I'll let you know :) were having FI's drummer stay with us for two weeks before a show. Last time he was here he ate everything and drank all the booze so I may be calling that favor in soon.

    The trick is to carry beneath the armpits for the best leverage.  And, once you get a good momentum going... don't stop. Ask neighbors for assistance, as well.... they may not help you, but they will stop parking in your driveway, letting their dog shit on your lawn, and stealing your morning paper.
  • I am pissed on your behalf about the chair. Very uncool.

    Also, just what exactly are these "nerd games" they're playing that end in broken chair legs? 'cause I'm a gamer, and I have yet to have any significant breakages from games... Unless you count the chip in the snack bowl from it getting "caught" (for lack of a better word) on my sleeve when I went to move my meeples...

  • Several bottles of coke and a plastic tub are all you need to get rid of a body. Unless you live real close to a pig farm. I have a friend in forensic anthropology and she told me these are the best ways to get rid of bodies. :smile:

    Seriously. I have never seen a game night turn into damage like that. And we tend to mix our games with our booze (especially the men), yet nothing has ever been damaged more than a the occasional spill on the carpet or something.

    Also, I do not blame you in the least for being mad. I would have been furious to come home to that.

  • I guess the chair was caught on something.  Instead of moving it, the guy just kept scooting it back while he was sitting on it and broke it. I am so glad I wasn't home. I don't think I could have kept my cool.  This dining room table is my second baby.  My first is my cat.  I equated it to breaking the legs off my cat.  I may have gone overboard with my anger. Lol

    If you are in your 20s or 30s can I add you to my collection of extra daughters?  I have many extra daughters thanks to my real DDs and some of their cool friends.  Many of them call me Mom.  I see that you and I obviously think alike and that is amazing.

    On a bit of a serious note, the next time I saw this friend I would call him out on his behavior point blank, "Hey dude really?  You go through SIL's window and you break my chair?  You need to seriously grow up and knock that shit off. If you can't do that, don't come over."

    My shovel is always ready

    Sorry I didn't get you anything for mother's day, Mom!  :)  H's friend  did offer to pay, but seriously, dude.... you need to be a little more gentle with other people's shit! A knick knack gets broken.... a chair?... a window? That's just some ridiculous clumsiness.

    Thought I might have to ask for some help with one this morning. Wasn't there a thread recently about people showing up without notice? Well while I was out on my run this morning apparently one of FI friends showed up. His bachelor party is today and they are all meeting at the host guys house at 11 or 1130 - no plans for anyone to be coming to our house (20 min or so north).

    I guess he texted him at like 8:15 saying hey I got on the road early (lives about 1.5-2 hrs away) and am close by let's get breakfast. So I get back to thr house after my run as I see FI driving away and a car I don't recognize in the driveway. So then had to deal with another person around in the couple hours we had this morning. FI (and others) are staying at the host house tonight and despite it being on the way back down to drop-by friends house he decided to ride with FI and goes I have no plans on Sunday and no need to get on the road early. Ugh. So instead of having Sunday to get stuff done that we really need to I have a feeling we will instead be entertaining
