DH is doing some detecting today on SD

So last week, DH decided that we would just give SD20 our 3rd car, instead of her buying a car. I am fine with that. He said that way she could keep the money she got and use that to pay car insurance etc. Again, all fine with me. Haven't really heard much about it since... other than MIL told me yesterday that SD20 lost her DL for the second time... so guess she won't be needing a car until she at least gets a new DL.

Last night DH and I were chatting and SD and the car came up. He said he was having reservations about giving her the car. I asked why. He said he just doesn't think she is mature/responsible enough right now. Y'all know I agree 1,000,000%!! I told him that Aunt J just told me last week, that SD got locked out of her apartment because she lost her key and went to Aunt J's and had to wait for her exBF (that she still lives with because they signed a year lease)to get home so she could get a new key made. DH said that's the SECOND time she's lost her key. They've been in the apartment for 4 months lol I asked him again why she is not working at the hot dog place that she was working at before. She raved about this job and how much they luurrrved her and how much money she made in tips etc and then all of the sudden, she says she can't work there anymore, because their schedule doesn't jive with her school schedule this year. I told DH that made zero sense. I looked up the restaurant website and they are open from 8 am until 9 pm.. she ain't in school all that time. And there is also weekends. So she's lying. Oh and Aunt J said SD applied for a job at Applebees, but did NOT put her waitressing experience at the hot dog joint on her application.. another red flag. Dh said that when she told him the nonsense about the schedule he had a gut feeling she was lying.

Sooooo he said he is calling the owner of the hot dog joint today and asking why SD20 is no longer working there. I know that there is a strong possibility that the owner won't tell him, but I'm hoping that she does. My guess is she got fired for stealing or she had some issue with someone and quit. Remember, her first job at Jack in the Box, she got accused of stealing and Uncle J had to go in and talk to the manager. Then SD ended up quitting anyway.

DH said if he finds out that SD lied to him, he is cutting her off. No car, no more money every month. He said he is tired of her lying and manipulating and that while these are all things that GBM and BM engrained in her, she is old enough now and had enough OTHER people trying to teach her the right things to do, that she should know better. He said he is also going to tell his friend that owns the sporting good store, where she worked last summer and for a couple of weeks during her winter break, to not hire her back. He doesn't want her stealing from him and values their friendship too much to put him in that position.

Stay tuned!! And keep your fingers crossed that this hot dog chick tells DH the truth!!

NEVER.... she's a sociopath. She will NEVER stop. I just did some of my own detective work and found the owner of hotdog joint on Facebook. Her profile picture looked vaguely familiar because I remembered SD posting some picture on FB a couple months about how much she loved her job and tagged this gal. Guess who are NOT friends on FB and guess what picture is gone from SD timeline?? SD has almost 2,000 facebook "friends" so basically every person she knows or knows of or doesn't even know.. yet she and this girl aren't friends?? :? Something smells fishy!

Whatever it is, she’s crewed up royally and doesn’t want him to know about it. This outta be good!

Holy balls Batman, he isn't just accepting everything out of princess' mouth? He is actually going to try to find out if she's being honest after YEARS of never bothering to check her story? This is monumental. This is hope-giving. This is awesome!

haha! He has his moments! Ever since Aunt J, MIL, DH and I have been on the same page, and able to compare stories, she's been getting called out. He was ticking off last night all the times he has caught her in lies which according to law of averages means there are many, many, many more times that he did not.

SD forgets that DH was a cop (before he became disabled) he might not always say something right away if things don't pass the smell test, but I think that's his detective brain working... he tosses the information around in his head, gathers facts and THEN goes in for the confession, when he's certain he knows the REAL story.

I'm willing to bet my next paycheck that she's lying. Way too many red flags and a past history.

I'm sure she's lying, don't know if the owner can tell her father anything, but pat on the back for him for being determined to figure it out and take some action. Sounds like he means business. It's bad when even the father is considering cutting her off.

Last year when she quit the girl scout camp job, DH asked me to call the camp and find out if the things she was telling us (like she had to clean up vomit, had to clean up after kids that peed the bed, had to clean bathrooms etc) was true. I was shocked that the HR director spoke freely with me. Of course had no idea that SD had quit because she just left and of course said that the things SD was saying were somewhat true in that they had to take turns cleaning the bathroom.... but not like she had to do it every day like she was leading us to believe.

I hope, hope, hope this chick talks to DH!!!!!!

I shouldn't be advocating dishonesty, but if one were to call and say she applied at their company.......

hereiam's picture

They would probably say less, in that case, accept verify that she was employed there. You can't get away with saying much to prospective employers about a past employee.

I am SO not a fan of that.

About 20 years ago, a former coworker used me as a reference (without my knowledge). A company to which she'd applied called to ask me about her. I wasn't happy about her using me as a reference but didn't want to come off like a beeyotch. When the gal asked me about the ex coworker doing her job, I replied, "She works VERY well under heavy supervision." She repeated what I said (noting it) and said, "Heavy...oh. OOOOOOOHHH!! THANK YOU!!!"

It was the truth. She did a fine job. As long as the supervisor stood over her shoulder the Entire.Bloody.Time.

I know.
I had to give a reference to someone I fired for insubordination.
My TONE said it all.
"No, I would NOT hire that person again."

And then they told me his dates of employment he gave them didn't match my records.

I'm pretty sure that losing your driving privileges would be enough of a red flag and indicate a lack of preparedness for car ownership.

hereiam's picture

I'm not sure if she lost her driving privileges or her physical driver's license. It sounds like the physical license.

moving_on_again's picture

I think she just meant she physically lost the actual physical license, not privileges. Or at least, I assumed that since there wasn't any details.

ESMOD's picture

Ohhh.. I thought it was for speeding or something.

Sounds like she is just super scatterbrained.

DaizyDuke's picture

She is super irresponsible. Always has been. DH has ALWAYS been on her about it. Here's a great one... she posted on facebook a couple of months ago that her life sucked because some jerk stole her bike. Then she commented and said that oops, not stolen, she forgot that she looked it up on campus. WTF? :?

That's just one of MANY stories. She is probably so scatterbrained because she is running around trying to keep all the lies she tells people straight in her head.

She just lost her DL... like doesn't know where it is.... well supposedly Who knows? Maybe the did lose her driving privileges and is just saying she lost her DL... you seriously just never know with this one!

I just reading a book on my lunch break and the main character said "Liars are the first ones to believe other people's lies." And I thought.. hmmm isn't that the truth?!! I think if DH calls and the owner won't give him any info, that he should just call SD and lie.. just like she does. He should tell her that her story didn't add up and that he talked to the owner and the owner told him everything; so does she want to come clean or come up with a new lie. I bet she'd wet her pants.

I have done this many times to SD. SD LOVES to lie. I'll tell her that BM or a teacher already told us what happened and I want her version of the story before we decide her punishment. Works all the time.

That's how I got DS's father to confess to cheating. I told him I already called the girl he was cheating with. How in the heck he thinks I got her number, I'll never know, she was states away.

ESMOD's picture

Reminds my of my YSD (who can't keep a secret..lol). So her mom tried to use this to her advantage and was fishing for hints one time around the holidays.

She asked YSD "Is there anything you want to tell me about presents this year?"

Well, YSD thought her mom had found out that my DH had bought her a rifle for Christmas.. so she confessed that.. yes.. her daddy bought her a rifle.

BM was REALLY trying to dig around to find out if her BF had bought her a ring! lol...(he still hasn't to this day and it's been like 10 years).

UGH!! Talk about failure to launch!!!!
At least DH is finally opening his eyes. . .a crack.

Cover1W's picture

Although SD14 is super smart, she's completely irresponsible as BM and DH have never required her to be. Oh, lose your house key for the 7th time? No problem, here's another? Oh, lose your bus pass for the 5th time? No problem, here's some cash to get by until I can get you another one ordered. Etc.

Told DH there's no way she's driving until she starts taking care of her things and stops losing things. He agreed, but I don't believe him for a second.

I can help her learn to drive (better than DH and BM wants no part of it) but she's NEVER driving my car alone, EVER.

He didn't say anything about it last night so I'm guessing he did not call. I'm not going to bring it up.. unless he brings up SD and I have an opening. I have found it works better that way.. then it doesn't seem like I am chomping at the bit for her to fail. lol

SD "misplaces" tampons--has no money to buy replacement ones. . .starts "gofundme" account for tampon purchasing.

Oh I don't care about giving her the car. It's a Subaru Outback with 270,000 miles on it. Runs great still, which is why we kept it.. we just use it when we want to take dogs somewhere or when the roads are nasty and we don't want to get out new cars dirty lol I'm happy for her to have it because trust me, I KNOW she is NOT happy about getting it... she thinks she needs something much better and fancier. DH is making her pay her own insurance (NOT on our policy) So it's really no biggie to me, other than I'm going to have to get my new car dirty. Wink
