This is such an odd thought, but I would really like some alternative perspectives please.
DH gets discount at several retail stores through friends and acquaintances. And he is always raving it on about this to our friends and always asking them to let them know what they needs as he can get it at a discounted rate. This irritates me so much! In the past I have spoken to him about this and explained that he is getting the discounts through someone else, so fine if you want something then you liaise with them to sort it out and end it there. And not to broadcast it at every opportunity. My thinking behind this is that friends may change their mind, perhaps an item of clothing doesn’t fit as expected...for some reason they are not satisfied with the purchase and want to return it- is it not so much hassle to be the middle man in all this? I am finding DHs thoughts on this unbearable. He says he doesn’t mind if there are issues as he doesn’t mind spending time to sort it out. I do. AIBU?
These are dear friends of ours, but from my point of view, it is not that I don’t want them to benefit if they can- it is just why get involved in things unnecessarily; they are well of too so it is not really much of a ‘help’ the discount. It’s driving me mad!
