Made me think of another couple of them:
me: What's with all the showers and locking the door?
He: I can't get warm, and it helps
me: Why locking the door?
He: The kids might accidently come in.
A - The house was 85degrees and he was sure warm for a few hours after that shower!
B - The kids weren't home!!
UGGGHHH!
When I went on a trip to see family, and returned home to find my jewelry box completely gone:
"You must have hid it before you left. You're always accusing me of stealing from you."
I'm not the one who was hiding things!! PITIFUL. Still haven't found my diamond earrings (that were in that jewelry box).
"How did that get there?" --- for just about anything he forgot to hide.
I don't have a problem - I used to have a problem - I have it under control now.
I had to lie, you wouldn't have believed me if I told the truth.
And the kicker of them all "I don't know how to tell you this, but I think you have multiple personalities. You are losing time and money. I told you about where I went and who I was with and what we did. I don't know where the money went. You must have spent it when you were "her", oh, and I really don't like her either. I think YOU should get some help."

There are definitely a few I see here that are familiar!
"That isn't mind."
or
"That's old stuff from X_year ago."
"I'm an *******, I know it." (admitting and NOT changing your actions means this is absolute crap)
"I need money so I can give change to customers at the restaurant." (he was a waiter and apparently couldn't get change from the bartender)
Uhhh, ok!
And yes, thank you for this thread. It is very light and much-needed.

"Why should I do ___________ if you don't trust me anyway?"
"It's ok for me to drink a few beers....it's just hard alcohol that I need to stay away from."
"Rehabs are just businesses. They want to make money. They HOPE you don't get sober so you'll come back and pay more."
"If I could just ______________(fill in the blank), I could stay sober and stop using drugs." (the blank is usually things like "see my son" or "work for you" or "live with you" or "move away").

Me: So-and-so has been calling (a mutual friend from church)...wondering if everything is OK...he hasn't seen you at the meetings in awhile.
Him: Well, I'm not a big fan of AA and the 12-Steps...the people there are too extreme.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: Well, like drinking...they will tell you, you can't drink at all, ever again....You know that has never been a trigger for me.
Me: Well, maybe you should bring that up in the meeting...discuss your feelings with the group.
Him: No way, they'll kick me out and never let me come back!!!

You know how you are you always forget things, you must have put it there and forgot.
(forgot he left his pipe in visible sight) "Wtf baby what is this are you serious, see you try and accuse me of using when you are the one doing it because this isnt mine"
Response: "UHHHHHHHHHH" (literally left speechless)
I didnt take it, I didnt even know you had money.
Ill be right back, I promise, Ill prove you wrong. (More than proved me 100% right obviously)

Lol.....
Him: You don't understand chronic pain! You need to educate yourself!
Him: If you would quit paying for your work insurance and the kid's insurance you could help me get insurance so I could get my back fixed and not have to take drugs. (while he lays around and does nothing to help the household)
Him: (Sitting on floor stoned at 4:00 am shining a flashlight up into the Christmas tree)
Me: WTF are you doing?!
Him: Looking for candy canes! (as he gets up and tries to put his shirt on backwards)
Him: (In our final argument after I found out he pawned my jewelry) It's all your fault, you don't help me, all my friends say "Man, why do you stay with her?"
Me: Yeah! Why do you stay? Go call your "friends"! Get out and don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
Wasn't funny at the time but man, I can see how crazy it was now!

When we got back from out of town for a couple of days ...
Some guys that stopped here just suddenly got up and broke my sisters door down (locked and deadbolted) and stole her PS3 and DVD's
After I said I was going to call and report it to the police... Oh no! They stole my ID too and probably used that to pawn the stuff! Guess he has a doppleganger out there that could use his picture ID...Who woulda thunk it???

XAH: "the only reason I sell coke is because you said you need me to get an honest job and support the family".

just to clarify... AH is a plumber and the faucet handle was in the console of his truck... still dont know what it was that made me look there. but I have thought that in a seldom used bathroom or the extra faucet in a master bath it would be a great place.
When I'd ask "what did you do with all that money?"
His answer, "well, it's not what you think."
Then I'd ask, "well, then what is it?"
He'd answer, "well, it's not what you think."
Wonder what he thought I was thinking?

"plenty of girls would love to date me"
Never mind the fact that he was 30, living at home with his mother, couldn't afford his bills, hardly working, a pill head, an alcoholic and extremely abusive!!!
