Hi :)
It has been a very long day, so maybe that's why I'm annoyed!
My partner has been advertising his Wii U console for sale for a few days via online marketplace. He got a buyer and told me yesterday that someone wanted to buy it.
Fast forward to today, he's at work and I'm at home (i enjoy the benefit of bank holidays, he does not). At 6pm he messaged me to say the buyer is on his way to pick up the console, can I bag it up and hand it over?
Cue a flurry of annoyed messages between us, since I have no idea what I'm supposed to be bagging up e.t.c, I know literally nothing about this console thing. Why didn't he bag it up himself last night??? Then he tells me the buyer might want me to turn it on and prove that it all works - how am I supposed to know how it works? There's a console, a gamepad, a bunch of wires I've just pulled out of the socket, 4 games I don't know anything about . I've never played on the stupid thing, I don't play on games I don't have time. Any time I'm not working, I'm looking after the baby!
And at the same time I am getting our baby ready for bed, so that routine will be disrupted if they turn up soon to pick these things up.
Am I being a crochety bad-tempered old bag?
I'd hand it over happily if he'd have sorted it all before he went to work. He didn't go in to work until lunchtime so he had loads of time to sort this out.
