Predicting The Future

Aunt Mavis

I have met the enemy and he is us. Pogo
Two guys at work have a plan, they carpool and one wife watches the other’s child all day. I never heard about the financial arrangement specifically but it didn’t matter. They both looked at me and said “What’s so funny?” I reply “That’s going to end badly.”
Choose which outcome came to fruition.
(A) It ended badly.
(B) The arrangement is still going strong.
(C) Both parties agreed that they should end this arrangement cordially and all remain friends.
(D) All of the above.
I’ll post the correct answer after this has run its course. (If it even generates a course)

My hunch is number (A) it ended badly, just my womanly intuition ;)
 
The correct answer was (A). I’d noticed after a month or two that they both had vehicles at headquarters. Honest to God I’m not that guy but finally one of them says “you’re really enjoying this aren’t you?” “I like to be right” was my reply. I have a few others that I’ll post later. :alien:

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what if one wife ran a very nice day care service in her home, and took care of babies and toddlers? What would be so bad about her "taking care" of children who were not her own?
 
I don't understand the question/situation.. unless the one wife resented looking after somebody else's child.

But the OP didn't say anything about a daycare, only about the other's child.
 
I thought I posted enough for it to speak for itself quite honestly. I then provided possibly outcomes in the form of answers. The reasons for it “ending badly” were never given in great detail, just that it did. I’m just like Nostradamus.
 
Two times I told my friends to secure their classic cars or they were going to get stolen, both were. The ironic part is mine was stolen recently, not secured properly. I’m the only one of us three that got their’s back, thank God for good deputies.

Glad to hear you got your classic car back! You called it right with telling your friends to secure their classic cars.
Up here where I live, we have so much vehicle theft.
Thanks. That car means everything to me. My little Cambodian friend had his 94 Acura stolen which made me sick, he was the original owner! It had it all, 5 speed, red and less than 90,000 miles on it. Insurance gave him about 1/3 of its true value, they don’t know or care about all the variables. Predicting the future stinks sometimes, humans.
 
Being the original owner of a vehicle, and then it is stolen. Happens that fast too at times in a wink!
Your friends 94 Acura. 1/3 of it's true value via insurance. Yeah, that is too bad.

Predicting the future, well you knew it would happen too.

My husband had his Honda Civic, of which he was also the original owner, stolen right out of the carport where we used to live. He had done all the work on it himself, owed no car payments, and was very fond of that car.
 
The good news is that I’m likely to testify in the “gentleman’s” trial if it gets that far. I’ll round up my fancy clothes and maybe even take a shower prior to. Cleaning out my car afterwards was eye-opening into the life of an addict (I’m assuming based on evidence). I gained a few items of value that some other poor sap “lost” unfortunately. This tale and a few other recent events actually filled out the remainder of the book I was writing so…..Life has some strange twists and turns.
