Cringe & Facepalm

So I was running errands and just wanted to stop for a bagel. I go in, find out they only have plain or walnut cream cheese now…not my preference but whatever, it’s fine.

I’m standing in the pick up area and I hear:

Girl 1: “What happened to that asiago?” Girl 2: “I put it with this one” 1: “that was for this one ^{says my name”} 2: “whoops” 1: “yeah see? This one came in first”

They call my name: “We’re actually out of the asiago bagel, do you want a different one?”

I straight up said “no.”

She had such a dumbfounded look on her face and was irritated that I wanted a refund.

I literally just heard that you gave MY bagel to someone that ordered after me! The last one!! Yet I’m the “asshole customer”

Edit to add: the refund was offered and I took them up on the offer.

My boomer MIL (F59) is always complaining that I need to save money. At the first few years of my relationship with my wife I thought she was just trying to look out for me.

She let it slip at the dinner table today. My father in law burned the chicken drumsticks on the grill to the point they weren't edible, when I suggested getting pizza from Little Caesars or Dominos she slipped and said "Nooo Brian save your money, we have no 401k you need to save."

My MIL married my FIL not because of his looks he is obese but he makes six figures so I guess that was her draw to him. However he admitted to me he hadnt saved shit for retirement and he still owed a lot of back child support from a prior marriage.

Their plan was originally to go retire in Argentina where they are originally from however inflation there is wild and quality of living is going down unfortunately. So now their plan is to live off me I guess. Fml

So when I worked at a bank, I used to take and process loan applications. I'd do the interview, make my notes and recommendation (approve/deny/etc) and then send it to the underwriters.

One time I had a boomer and his wife apply for a car loan. The app was BAD. Terrible DTI, payment history, credit score, you name it. 90% of the problems on the app came from the wife, who was the major liability. The loan was denied, and I called them back to let them know the decision (same day, maybe 4 hours later).

There's only one phone number on file, so I call that. Wife answers. I tell her the details of the rejection. She says thank you. I tell her I'm sending a letter also describing the denial for their records (regulation) and she says ok. I ask her if her husband is there so I can tell him the same thing. She offers to tell him for me because he's at work. I say thank you and go about my week.

About a week and a half later husband calls me FURIOUS and demanding to know the status of his car loan. I am confused and tell him it was denied and ask him if his wife told him this info like she promised, or if he received the letters I sent.

Line goes dead for a second and the dude just starts screaming.

"SHES ALWAYS DOING THIS AND HIDING SHIT FROM ME THAT FUCKING BITCH HAS GOTTEN ME INTO SO MUCH TROUBLE THATS WHY HER CREDIT IS IN THE SHITTER"

I am trying not to laugh/scream at how insane he sounds and ask him professionally if he has any questions about the decision I can clarify for him. I offer to send him another letter. He thanks me profusely and then apologizes and hangs up the phone, still bitching under his breath at his wife.

I guess boomers really do hate their wives. I couldn't imagine how terrible their relationship is if he's venting like that to a random bank employee.
