Controlling People
I called my only cousin in town who ignored my phone calls all this time until recently. When our other cousin in NC had asked him to help me with house repairs last June he just all of sudden would not answer his phone when I called. He's got caller ID. Now though that I have made up with his fiance who is his 1st cousin also him and I have talked twice in the past month. The last time I talked to his fiance', Darlene, she was being very persistent in getting me to call around to check on a cheaper mover than I already have. She tried to tell me I was getting screwed even though I told her that the movers I have shceduled were highly recommended to me by several people. She told me people take advantage of a single woman and insisted they are taking advantage of me. She was really arguing her tail off and I didn't back down. Finally I told her that I should know 2 people that would move me for free but I don't and that shut her up. She lives in NJ and her fiance, Johnny, lives in Richmond where I live. Of course she's so selfish she would not consider having Johnny helping me because it would mean a little time away from her after Christmas. Anyway, today I called Johnny and got around to asking him to help move me on the request of my brother in Georgia. My brother said he would help me move for nothing but we still need another man so I called our cousin Johnny. Johnny didn't sound too thrilled about moving me so I told him I'd pay him and told him how much my movers were going to cost me. In a split second before I could almost finish what I was saying he said what my moving company is charging sounds fishy to him. Mind you that my cousin Johnny has never had to pay a mover in his life so he has nothing to base what he said to me except that his fiance, Darlene, had to tell him. Darlene I am finding out is a very bossy, controlling woman like her mom is and it is influencing her fiance, Johnny who is also her 1st cousin. I had just told Johnny earlier in our conversation that him and others in the family tend to think they can run my life and I'm an adult I can run my own life.
