I Wish I could Unworry, just like Angus Sampson tells me to in the NRMA ads and not care that the DVD’s don’t go back to the store on time.
But I do, yet I find it physically impossible to return them on time. We go out at least once a day. At least, so what part of my mind controls this blockage?
In fact, I don’t feel like I’m hiring a movie unless they ask me if I want to fix up my late fees at the same time.
Our worst ever late fee was $92. I have no fucking idea what special movie this was to warrant us to keep it for a month. Probably Wiggles goes bananas.

I sit here writing this and in front of me are last weeks weeklys and last nights Overnight dvd’s.
I know these will not be returned tonight. I know because my husband is over the neighbours drinking beer. I am having a beer and we, if not responsible when it comes to the hire and return of movies, are law abiding citizens when it comes to drink driving.
So I am going to get some Un in my life – I think though it may be Un-rich.

Freakin hilarious again Bern! my husband suffers from the same blockage. He justifies it by saying "but they are only a couple of days late and they are weeklys so how much could it be"! Who knows, maybe he has had a premonition that we are going to win lotto soon which will more than cover the late fees.
I have movies so old that they are still on VHS.
I have also been banned from all the local DVD shops so now I can never return movies on time because we have to rent from places that are so far away our reputation has not managed to get there yet
You need to sign up to a postal DVD service! Keep the DVDs for as long as you want, no late fees, you just don't get the next lot until you return the previous ones. We don't have this service at the moment but did a few years ago and it was fabulous!
So know what you're saying ... in fact, thanks for reminding me about the 2 that are currently sitting on top of the TV!
I took that advice last night ECMummy and have ordered 1st series of Gossip Girl. $20 a month for 8 dvds. Not sure if having to wait is going to work for me. I'm a gen xer in a gen y mentality. I want it now.
SP - I hear you. We were taken to the debt collectors over 101 Dalmations on VHS that was overdue by 100 days. Still only about $16 and we couldn't find it. Never could go back to that shop.
Belle I hope that is premonition is correct. I also hope it's the next $80 mill so there's heaps to share - hint hint.
KK - Glad I served a purpose ;)
Our local store discounts the late fee by 50% if you pay when you return it- I love that policy!
I have never been able to prevent my children from trashing DVD's so realised very quickly that hiring any was not a good idea. When my oldest was toddling, it didn't matter where I had hidden the discs, he'd hunt them down and would be scrubbing the tiles with them or seeing how many he could snap in the drawer.
We just watch TV now. :-)
A very timely post. I have hidden a one night super-premier new release DVD in the back of the cupboard so that other half doesn't realise it's 3 weeks overdue.
But oh the relief to realise I'm not the only one!!
the story of my life. i need postal dvd service. cheers!
Will let you all know how the whole being sent to me in the mail thing works out. I've had to pay for many we have "lost" and found 3 weeks later slid under curtains where I swore I had looked 50 thousand times.
On a totally separate note, how sexy is Angus Sampson? Pity he works in advertising.
PTT - Agree. That voice, that lovliness *sigh*
My spouse and I stumbled over here by a different web page and
thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so i am just following
you. Look forward to looking at your web page for a second time.
