I'm crabby. I see a stupid fight comin' and I'm not looking forward to it.
See, VSLF is terrible about losing umbrellas. She's lost, maybe, four umbrellas in the past few months. Yesterday there was only one umbrella left, a relatively poor-quality one, and it was raining. We both had to go to work, and I agreed she could have it. I walked to work in the rain. At my lunch break, I went out and bought a $5 umbrella at a bargain store that sells $1 umbrellas. So, it's a pretty nice umbrella, actually.
I get home yesterday evening and I show it to her. My new umbrella. She's appreciates it. I offer to get her a nice umbrella like mine, but she's not interested.
It wasn't raining when I left the house this morning (00:15 before she did) so I didn't take my new brolly. When I get home, I find that she has taken my umbrella.instead of the cheap one. Even though I'm sure she knew that would make me unhappy.
So, that's why I'm pissy. But now I've written it all down and I can witness what a lunatic I sound like. So I feel a little better.
Please rate, on a scale of 1 to 10, how stupid I'm being.

Oh wait, so I'm the one who was obsessive because someone broke my heart and never paid me hundreds of dollars they owed me, and here you are obsessing over a stupid umbrella!? Sheesh! Meanwhile, if she loses umbrellas a lot, I doubt she would even notice which one she is taking in the morning either, right? Just go buy a whole bunch of umbrellas before this ruins your relationship!

Uh oh. I'd be righteously indignant, but not pissed....unless she loses it! It all depends on whether she brings back the umbrella. If she doesn't, holy hell!
