Chloe cancelled the snow plowing service to save money. But now that it’s snowed, her husband doesn’t want to shovel the driveway himself and says since she cancelled it, she should shovel the driveway herself.
Jonathan: Today for panic button, we have Chloe. Hi, Chloe.
Chloe: Hey. How’s it going?
Jonathan: Chloe, you’re having a little bit of a problem, uh, getting plowed.
Ayla: Oh, my. What are you saying?
Jonathan: I was obviously talking about her driveway. Oh my God. Your man doesn’t want to plow.
Ayla: Is your man tired of hiring men to plow?
Jonathan: Anyway, you and your husband had a driveway plowing business, or you hired one, right? And, you cut that off. What’s going on?
Chloe: Yeah. So it was $80 every time for just one snow plow.
Jonathan: That’s actually not bad for around here.
Ayla: I think that’s expensive.
Chloe: I cut back because we’re budgeting. Yeah. And I cancelled that because, well, my husband can definitely do it. I mean, we just have a shovel thing, but it’s fine.
Jonathan: I feel like when you say shovel thing, you just mean like a plastic snow shovel.
Ayla: And you have a driveway, not just like a walkway. Like there’s multiple cars that park in it. And how long is this driveway? I’m just trying to get a visual here.
Chloe: I don’t know. I don’t exactly have the measurements of it.
Ayla: Do you know how many cars you can fit in it?
Chloe: It’s just a regular two car drive. It’s pretty close to the street. I wouldn’t say it’s excessively long or anything. I had told my husband we were going to cancel it. And then, he was like, hey, where’s the company? Are they going to come? And I was like, no. Remember we cut back on that. I canceled them. So it’s your job to get out there and use the shovel because I’m not going to do it.
Jonathan: It doesn’t sound like you think he’s a man. He should look forward to the potential heart attack that he might have from shoveling snow.
Ayla: Well, I have a question. I’m in the room with two men. Do you guys prefer to shovel this snow?
Jonathan: Let me put it this way. Every day I go back and forth with this internal conflict where I have a 14 year old son. He drives me crazy sometimes because he’s a 14 year old. But then I love the fact that he can start doing stuff like this.
Ayla: Like this. Yeah, right.
Jonathan: So no, I don’t love shoveling.
Ayla: But I think there’s some guys who would. And so you’re saying, Chloe, I have a husband. Let’s put him to work. Get on out there.
Chloe: Yeah. Isn’t it like cleaning out the garage or washing the car or something? It’s kind of like a guy thing.
Jonathan: Men enjoy doing these things.
Ayla: I think she’s right. I think a lot of men do like to do it.
Jonathan: I can speak for one of the men in this room, but at least one of us does not. So what do you think? If he’s a man, then this is his job.
Chloe: I mean, we just we’ve talked about cutting back, and I’m doing more things. And, he totally agreed to cut back on the budget with me. And now he’s just like, well, you could do this. I’m sure as hell not going to do it. I don’t know what the solution is.
