Man Considers Jeopardizing His Relationship by Taking Money From the Joint Account to Pay Fantasy League Dues
"Or else the guys will think I'm a flake!"
When a local man received a text from his fantasy football league commissioner informing him that his league dues were owed, he knew his time was limited.
He was the only member of his league to not yet pay the league buy-in, and he did not want to be put on blast in front of the guys, so he considered his options:
Option 1: Pay the $200 league dues from his personal account.
Cons: Would have to spend frugally for the next week.
Option 2: Text the commissioner to ask for more time.
Cons: The boys call you cheap.
Option 3: Pay the $200 league dues from his and his wife’s joint account.
Cons: Risk the trust he’s built within his marriage.
All options and their cons were heavily considered by the man, as he viewed each option as valid as the next. Ultimately, he reasoned that taking from his and his wife’s joint bank account would be the best option, as he could just repay the money taken from the account the following week when he got his paycheck.
Unfortunately, the man didn’t make it two days before his wife found out about his actions and began ripping him a new one:
"$200?! You pay $200 for a league you never win???"
"Of course a man stupid enough to spend a first round pick on Josh Allen would think he could get away stealing from his and his wife’s joint account. You absolute idiot."
"Next time you want to pay to be a part of a group chat for 4 months, use your own money!"
