Wasteful

Let's talk about being wasteful today!  I cannot stand to be wasteful and I definitely don't like it when anyone else is wasteful with my stuff.


This morning my husband was printing some information from the internet.  Well,  let me back up to set the stage.  I woke up this morning to come downstairs to greet my husband before he left for work this morning.  After saying, "Good morning!" I sat down at my computer and turned it on.  A few moments later something started printing at the printer.  He said, "Did you print something?"  I said, "How could I have printed something?  I just sat down to the computer and turned it on.  You must have printed something.  What did you print?"  He said, "Oh, I did print something."  I should have know right then and there that he didn't want me to know that he had printed something.  So, after a few pages I'm like, "What are you printing?"  He said, "I only printed one page."  I said, "Well, it looks like more than one page to me!  Read at the top of the page to see how many page it is going to print."  He said, "Fifteen, I didn't mean to print all of that."  I said, "You need to cancel the print job then.  You always do that; don't know how many pages you're printing and then act surprised when it prints."

He went on to complain that I was selfish and didn't like to share my "toys".  I said, "I am not selfish but I don't like being wasteful!  Besides, you aren't going to replace my print cartridges or the paper.  I'm the one that will have to go running to the store when everything runs out!"  So he left me $20.  I guess he thought I wouldn't take it.

Was I wrong?
