My cousin is the "What About...?" of the day today. It is completely infuriating to see people listen to me loudly proclaim my dislike of him, comprehend that dislike, then promptly forget that ever happened and act dumbfounded I detest the man.

My cousin bought a chest freezer complete with meats in it. He has called my dad repeatedly, offering some to me. If this were offered in good faith, sure, but like with my dad, strings will be attached. Obligations to help the man around town. Listening to him rant for entire car rides and being scolded for my rudeness if I try to get a word in edgewise.

So, we're playing a game of telephone in the literal and figurative sense. Cousin calls dad. Dad calls me. I ignore it. Process start over and my dad gets angrier the more I don't deal with him. It's not enough that the offer is passed along. He wants me to take it, or else there will be consequences.



Figured out why part of my money didn't go through, and boy was it a doozy! I had reward points that I was redeeming for cash and the website wanted a $30 minimum to withdraw $15 dollars. I don't get why that matters, but there we are. I will say the minimum will go down after my current transaction, but does anyone get casino vibes out of this?
