So my Jewish neighbors are moving and are having a moving sale. They aren't quite Orthodox Jews (at least I don't think they are), but the guy always wears a Yarmulke and the lady is a stereotypical serious, neurotic Jewish woman. My girlfriend wanted a dresser and I wanted to be more like
@thechatch and get a little 24" flat screen for my bathroom. I didn't have the cash on me on Friday night and figured they wouldn't want a check. So I told them what I wanted and that I would be back. So today, I go over there.
Me: Hey I'm here to buy the TV and the dresser.
Lady: Oh, great. But today is the Sabbath and we can't accept money today or do any work. And tomorrow we are leaving for my mother-in-laws at 6 in the morning and won't be back until Wednesday night.
Me: Umm what?
Lady: It's the Sabbath so my husband isn't allowed to move things. The dresser is heavy and you might need help.
Me: That's fine. If I can't get it myself, I'll get a friend to help.
Lady: But we can't accept any money today. And we leave until Wednesday tomorrow.
Me: How about I put the money on the counter so it doesn't change hands. Or I can write a check for Monday so you technically aren't accepting money today. Would that be okay?
The lady and her sister confer in Hebrew. The sister seems to think that would be fine.
Lady: Okay, let me leave the room. Can you put the money above the refrigerator?
As I'm putting the money above the fridge, the lady yells out from the bedroom.
Lady: Wait! I'm sorry, I can't do it. I would feel too guilty and my husband might get upset if he found out. I'm so sorry about this. It's probably weird to you, I know.
Now I have to wait until Wednesday to shit and watch TV. What a terrible way to live with these arbitrary rules. It must be miserable. I was kind of annoyed and this situation was certainly a mind fuck, but I also felt bad for the lady. And her husband. It's 2015.

I was trying to collect on an invoice years ago from a Jewish guy who we built a condo for. He kept promising but never paid. One time he did say he had the money but couldn't pay on a Jewish holiday.
I told my Jewish boss who was working and his reaction was pretty funny
Two day work week.
fagawesome J.So up in the warehouse he had a mat, which we did spit on every chance we got, and he would face Mecca and pray.
I always found it to be very convenient:
"Hey Mohammad, it's your turn to put away the new inventory"
"I would like to, but I have to go pray"
In his defense I believe it was about the same time every day ... but ...
"Hey Mohammad, this guy is asking for you"
The fucker wouldn't tell the customer he had to go pray ... he would go make a sale.
Now this is America. So I get the need to make a buck. But I never understood why Allah would forgive if he was late praying because he was selling ... but Allah wold go jihad on his ass if he had to put away inventory.
So I can kind of appreciate your neighbors willingness to be true to her religion.
Is she hot?
You also say she wanted a dresser....where does she put her stuff now?
Sounds like Jew Mom is willing to comprise her values....you could have something there.
She already has a couple of dressers. Bitches love clothes. She wanted another I guess.
I did almost get the Jewish woman to compromise her values, but she thought God would punish her for it. And she is very homely.
Jew women have big tittays.
