DH has been spending the last few weeks in a frenzy, sending Emails back and forth demanding to know where he can buy new replacement brush heads for his 4 dollar battery toothbrush. Seems he has looked for the replacements at all the chains local stores.

There is always an Email response from the company that skirts around the issue of " Why does the store tell him they do not carry replacements " Information and pictures of other toothbrushes they offer and so on.

Today he sent out another email letting them know he was frustrated by their refusal to give him a straight answer, their avoidance of admitting the truth and their outright lies. I did suggest he just buy another 4 dollar toothbrush and forget the trivial foolishness.

Reminded me of all the times that I was frustrated by the steps refusal to give me a straight answer,their avoidance to tell the truth, and their outright lies. If only he could have shown such passion for
" making things right " back then.

So, Hows retirement working out for you? lol

I should have videotaped this, but we had a gate on the driveway to keep vehicles out, and the rest was just open. No fencing. FIL went out to go jogging and our dog Pup wanted to go with him. He said 'No no Pup, you stay home!' FIL led him back in the yard and closed the gate. Pup was quite amused by this new game and he ran around the gate and was back at FIL feet in two seconds. Repeat. He said 'No no Pup, you stay home! and FIL led him back in the yard and closed the gate again. Repeat...

carley How true. I laugh to myself when this is going on. As underhanded as his adult daughters were in the past, I do find it amusing that he has so little tolerance for any deception over a 4 dollar toothbrush. He has been retired for several years. What can I say----It can be very entertaining at times.

Oh, you guys are too funny!

OP, if he keeps at it, they will probably send him the 4 dollars for a new toothbrush! I would.

I am picturing him banging away on his little keyboard, just as hard as he can, sweat dripping down his face. "Somebody, please help me get replacement heads for my 4 dollar toothbrush. Please! My teeth just do not feel clean!"

What if we make a fake blog, something like these toothbrushes have been recalled by the FDA, due to a bristle fungus causing impotence in men over 50. Wink

Due to the brush heads not being replaced in a timely fashion. Boy, won't he be pissed.

"But I can't find the f*ckers anywhere!"

Glove up and place toothbrush in a bio-hazard bag and immediately take to your nearest hazardous material dump site. Repeat-Do not touch with your bare hands!
