| crying poor is NOT cute! |
Scene: Boston area mass market retailer. Stuck behind young couple in a long line. Stuck listening to young couple discuss contents of recent shopping spree. Yes, he thinks the blouse is cute and worth it. Yes, she agrees the DVD of Casino Royale is a must have and they will end up watching it over and over again. The flip flops, suntan lotion, and color coordinated picnic ware clues me in that an outdoor weekend is in store for this couple.
Finally, they arrive at the cashier and the items are totaled. It is a little shy of $100.00. He pulls out $20.00 and hands it to her saying "Here, this should take care of my DVD". She looks surprised and protests "I thought you wanted me to be cute this weekend" to which he replies "Crying poor is not cute"!
Dejectedly she pulls out her credit card and pays for the purchases. |

What a slimeball! She should have dropped the stuff and left him and the store. Of course...if you don't have cash for your "cute blouse" it should stay on the rack.

Yeah, what makes him a slimeball? Not wanting to be responsible for her consumerism? I think he should leave *her* in the store!

Wow I don't think these 2 are going to last long.
-
Maybe it's me, but I don't think I even get this conversation.
She expected him to pay for her clothes? *smacks forehead*
She needs to wake up and smell the coffee. THERE IS NO WHITE KNIGHT HONEY. That's why they call them "Fairy Tales."

Wow. Sounds like she needs that rich-men-seek-cute-girls dating website.

something very wrong in this picture.
if they're dating, the guy shouldn't be paying for his girl friend's clothing.
if they're married, it should all be coming from a common pool so it should be an issue.

Presumably, the picnic items were joint purchases, and he should have chipped in. Nonetheless, who paid for what should have discussed prior to arriving at the cash register. Needless to say, this couple won't (and shouldn't, as their money attitudes are obviously leagues apart) last.
