First Timer

[wolverine1997]

Nothing interesting happened today. But wife did get peeved a little at me today. She asked me to take daughter to beauty salon. She told me that it should cost about $35-$40. When I went to pick up daughter after she was done I was charge $48.00. I called my wife at work and asked her about the price. She got upset with me and said that I should have told them that I was being overcharged. I tried to explain to her that I have no idea how much it should cost to go to a beauty salon, and I don't really know what all they did. She angrily said that she would call up there and straigten it out, which she did. They explained that the extra cost was because they cut her hair also. But they refunded me 20% of the cost anyway.

My wife has always complained that I don't speak up enough in situations like this. But I feel that I am at a disadvantage here. I know nothing about this type of thing. If it were buying tires or fixing the furnace, I would be all over it. But this is not my area of expertise.

I didn't say much too her and just went back to the salon for the refund. When she got home it was business as usual. She ignores me and only speaks if it is necessary. And when that happens it is always short and to the point. Never ever any small talk.
