OMG MY DAD IS STINGY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, gr. I was getting my laptop for my 18th birthday late because i had to save up so i could pay for anything extra over the amount my dad said he'd pay for it. So then he gets all funny about money, almost insisting i pay him in cash as if i'm going to, obviously, rip him off</sarcasm>. So then while i'm on the secure bank website with all my account details and money info on the screen he's standing behind me making sure i pay him. So i transfer it straightaway. Then, today, i realised that i was only supposed to pay 50-270 dollars (depending on how much he was willing to give me) but he made me pay him 580 dollars. and i only had 591 dollars in any and all my accounts at the time, so he left me with 11 dollars to my name, 10 of which i spent on petrol because his house is an hour and a half from mine when i drive. so now i only have a dollar in the entire world, i won't get paid from work for another week because they only pay me fortnightly, i have to pay rent, i have almost no petrol in my car which i use to drive to work, and i won't be able to do anything for a while because i have no money.

and the laptop was supposed to be a PRESENT you know, something given with GOOD WILL and something to be nice about, not making sure your struggling part-timer 18 yr old daughter pays you what you really should have been nice about and paid yourself in the first place. STINGY! and mean. stupid old man. making me feel like crap because i want to have my present, which he wouldn't have organised if i didn't chase it up.


lol. on a side note, the French are awesome. Here's a French proverb for you:

French - Impossible n'est pas français.
English - There is no such word as "can't."
Literally - Impossible isn't French.
