Seriously? You threatened to sic your wife on them? No wonder they got away with jerking you around. Grow a pair and stop expecting wifey to stand up for you. Jeez. Man, that's embarrassing.

I certainly understand the challenges of a fruit bat crazy partner, I was with one myself for a few years and it was only the mindblowing sexual connection we had which kept us together, never connected better with anyone before or since her.
She savagely bit my nose and face in a verbal argument one time though, that was too much for me and I walked away with a broken heart.
When a person has # like that going on in life then all other challenges are magnified, so learning your back story my ridicule ceases and I wish you the best with your wider relationship challenges.

Moral of the story, don't get married?
I thought it was to my understanding you would have needed to put in a two weeks notice to get paid on time, and if not you have to wait until the billing period was over to get it. If it was the day after the billing period that you quit you would have to wait another two weeks.

It's really difficult to take someone seriously when they're calling damn near everyone who responds some name or another. I make no promises of behaving, but I'll try to not cross any inappropriate low-blow lines anymore.

HEY!
It might seem funny to some folk around here, to bait and taunt and ridicule the OP, and I am sure that no one around here means anything terrible by it, but do you, any of you realise just how insensitive and unwise it is to make fun of someone who is clearly going through a very troublesome period in their lives?
To the OP, this is REAL LIFE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! This is not some crappy day time television show, or a cheap Days Of Our Lives knock off with even shoddier camera work and equipment than the original had! This is REAL LIFE for one of us. This website, this membership is not meant to be a place where people come to get insulted, badgered, mocked and made to feel five hundred times worse for airing their issues, than they did before they posted. We are meant to be better than this. We should know better than this. This is not twitter, this is not Facebook, or any of the other low brow, mindless gutter sites. We are meant to be supportive and nourishing to one another, and I think it would be wise for those who are not capable of making any constructive commentary on the situation, to think very hard before posting more taunts, especially upon such personal and sensitive matters as those being dealt with in this thread.
Please have some common respect, or at least some decorum. Standards people. Let's keep this site something to be proud of? Pretty please?
Ghandi’s terse response prompts us to ask “what exactly is civilization anyway?” It certainly has precious little to do with “civility” as any interchange with our dysfunctional culture of narcissism and greed quickly demonstrates. Dictionary definitions I have not found particularly helpful because they’re generally mired in self-serving ethnocentric bias. The OED is not particularly helpful, defining it as “a developed or advanced state of human society,” prompting one to ask what is meant by “developed” or “advanced.”
Religions, ideologies, doctrinaire world views and the need for certainty are invariably the refuge of the fearful, those who fear change, ambiguity and the loss of their privileged position within society. That’s why the modern monolithic nation state is founded on the written word, perhaps an offshoot of the ingrained notion of an unchanging Biblical literalism. It has become the bludgeon that provides for contraction of meaning and a singular mythology, loyalty, patriotism and devotion, the framing of discourse, entitlement and the affirmation of power for those who already have it.
This conception of a nation state was antithetical to the Native North American anarchistic world view. Castenada, a Franciscan priest who accompanied Coronado’s expedition, described the Hopis of New Mexico as living in “complete equality, neither exercising authority nor demanding obedience.” Castenada’s remark was a not uncommon observation by white Christian invaders of socialistic libertarian Native North American societies. Native peoples in North America believed that humans are merely a constituent of the natural world, not a chosen species instructed to master and exploit it with impunity. They had no conception of private property, believing that the world and its bounty was granted to all by their “Creator” and that no group or individual had the right to own any part of it. To the North American Indians, land had a very different meaning – culturally, economically and spiritually. “Sell a country!” Tecumseh shouted at a meeting of the representatives of the Northwest Territory in 1810. “Why not sell the air, the clouds, the rivers and the great sea as well as the entire earth?” Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?”
1. Thou shalt make a profit.
2. Thou shalt disown thy parents when they become old and send them away to perish alone; but thou shalt put on an expensive funeral for them for appearances sake.
3. Thou shalt deceive with false looks and flattering words, for appearances are everything.
4. Thou shalt gather to thyself alone as many material things as thou can obtain.
5. Thou shalt save and hoard, sharing not with others unless for thy own self-interest.
6. Thou shalt adulterate the foods which people eat, and deprive them of healthy sustenance.
7. Thou shalt take whatever thou can from the forest, from the earth, from the air, or from the defenseless and weak.
8. Thou shalt kill whenever it profits thee, and thou shalt exalt killing and violence since all progress results therefrom.
9. Thou shalt be arrogant, aggressive, and bold [in your deceit] since such qualities insure success.
10. Thou shalt not worry about thy sins for the Almighty has arranged a means whereby thou can be forgiven, even at thy death bed. (p. 84)
"Well guess what, you going to see it now. Can I use your phone?" I politely ask.
"No."
"Okay, I can use my own phone. That fine."
"I need you to step out into the hall." Jack-Off says.
"Yes, sir. I can do that. I'll just be out in the parking lot smoking a cig. waiting for my check or for the cops to get here, which ever come first."
I go out and light up a fag, call 911 wait for the coppers.

I have a question. Did you call both, the non-emergency hotline and 911 in the hall with Jack-Off or only after you stepped outside? The reason I ask is it seems you could have avoided using emergency services simply by threatening or faking the call. Sometimes the passive aggressive technique works great if you're witty enough.
I do believe this stems from your inability to keep a job. I find it our OWN responsibility to keep even the crummiest of jobs during the holidays if we expect to provide something extra for the people we care about. Looks like you let them get the best of you in a time when it mattered the most. As a sacrifice to others, I would have gotten crapped on until the holiday was over.
