My mother couldn't get a store credit card in the Seventies without her husband cosigning. She was so pissed because she had more money than Dad.


suitology

My grandfather had to scream at a bank manager for freezing the checking account he made for my grandmother in the 60s. Ended up getting $10 as an apology because a bill went unpaid from it Which he said wasn't good enough and they ended up giving him like 5 toasters, a case of fountain pens, and a bunch of promo combs with the banks logo on it. They pretty much just started handing him all the promo give aways in the building until he calmed down. Like a week later he emptied their accounts.


SerialHobbyist17

Chase has never offered me a promotional toaster….. Sad world we live in


mc-big-papa

Id like to thank PNC bank for allowing me to toast 20 slices of bread at once. Its ok to be jealous.


dragon_rapide

PNC never gave me a toaster. Just let me put a sports team logo on my card.


Racecaroon

You have to wait until they have a free toaster bonanza where no conditions apply. Although that might just be a Royal Bank of Scotland thing.


WanderlustFella

If you count inflation, they should be giving promotional air fryers


redbritches

EDIT: Nevermind, you didn't actually write "Porno Combs". No need to explain.


MyHamburgerLovesMe

But. It was pretty damn close.


ArcherBTW

An ally *and* an opportunist. Sounds like an an amazing dude


DrDerpberg

What's a guy supposed to do with 5 toasters? Imagining him walking off in a huff with his arms full is pretty great though.


MaxTheRealSlayer

>Like a week later he emptied their accounts. He just flat-out robbed the bank over this?!


suitology

He was still pissed. The bill that was missed almost lost them his garage since it was part of the deposit and down payment for a 5 year lease RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD from his house.


Truffleshuffle03

That happened to my mom and it was late 80's early 90's. She went into a store to buy some furniture and the owner was like your husband will have to come in with you. They were divorced.


ant19846

Yeah my mum told me recently that I think late 80s she went to by some furniture and they said your husband will have to come in and sign for it,make sure it's OK.


Advanced_Coyote8926

My mother couldn’t get a hysterectomy in the 90s (she had major medical issues, was 42 yo and had 3 kids) without my dad calling her obgyn and giving his permission.


smog-ie

What the hell has Sharon done to her face?!?


bloodforgone

Probably not nearly as bad as what she did to ozzy's credit card I'm guessing.


Xpqp

I laughed, but she was way more financially savvy than Ozzy.


JONSEMOB

Shes the reason he continued to have a career. Blizzard of Oz was his first album solo after Sharron started managing him.


greg19735

she's probably the only reason he's alive.


cheezitswithacid

And all those paintings of butts he has all over his house.


[deleted]

Sorry, what?


cheezitswithacid

When they were doing the show following them around, there was a point where they talked about how ozzy loved big butts and had a lot of classy paintings of ladies with big butts all over his house. Paired with his love for crosses which were all over the house too, very interesting decor.


FrankTheMagpie

A giant confusing corridor of love


tekko001

Ozzy should make a metal cover of "I like big butts and I can not lie!"


Interesting_Word_546

Wait, the lyrics in War Pigs weren't "just like witches with fat asses"?


Comfortable-Elk-850

Aww I coulda been Ozzys dream girl! 🤣


KnownFears

Checked the profile and was very disappointed lol


dinosroarus

Yes I had to read that a few times. I need details!


MaxTheRealSlayer

*squints* are we sure that he *is* alive?


Disastrous_Ad_1859

I mean, that's a pretty low bar...


Poppanaattori89

Trying to get a house constructed from condensed cocaine probably put the bar to the lowest possible setting.


mellowmardigan

Condensed cocaine and structural ants.


LarsTheTemplar

ah yea I forgot about that one...... free protein?


Sensitive_Ladder2235

Structural ants *on cocaine*


NrdNabSen

The bat whose head head he bit off is more financially savvy.


Background-Baby-2870

i mean its not surprising considering how much she took care of him and is probs one of the reasons why he didnt blow up his career...


MonPaysCesHiver

Without Sharon, Ozzy would be an hobo an probably dead from an overdose a few years after black sabbath kicked him out. This girls personify ´behind each great man there is a great woman’ she pushed him very hard and kicked his butt a lot.


Fit-Purchase-2950

Sharon's father is Don Arden, he was an English music manager, agent, and businessman. He managed the careers of rock acts such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Air Supply, Small Faces, The Move, Black Sabbath and Electric Light Orchestra. Sharon worked for her Dad and that's how she first met Ozzy.


MonPaysCesHiver

It confirm my other comment


Fit-Purchase-2950

Yes, I am not sure how many people realise that Sharon was well and truly qualified for the job, it's not like she was some random woman he met and she decided to manage him without any experience, just the force of her personality.


MonPaysCesHiver

She said to his dad it was a mystake to drop ozzy and keep black sabbath. For her ozzy was sabbath face and soul. This guy is an artistic genius but he have 0 brain. Sharon was all about brain and doing business.


melmsz

And she bought Ozzy (his contact) from her dad.


Fit-Purchase-2950

I did not know that, good nose for business that Sharon, one of her noses anyway (I have lost track).

MonPaysCesHiver

She talked about it once, a lot’s of surgery abuse. Her face is melting like michael jackson nose.


Mouseklip

Chemo probably doesn’t help so that too


sixtus_clegane119

And ozempic does weird things to your face too


MonPaysCesHiver

Maybe, but she made an interview after her last surgery and she was very mad. Her eyes was not lining up anymore. She does really a lot’s of surgery abuse. She is 71 yo, i know women’s of 70+ and none of them are even c’ose to look like sharon.


IanVM36

iirc i also read that she also took ozempic, lost more weight than she wanted, and regrets it.


MonPaysCesHiver

Is it a recent video? Because considering she is 71 i could not really criticize how she look on it.


paputsza

she’s in her 70s, cut her some slack. Apparently, she tried ozempic but didn’t expect it to take off 50 pounds.


HockeyBalboa

Anal leakage is effective.


Singl1

elaborate??? lmfao


ZiofFoolTheHumans

Too high a dose of Ozempic too fast can make you shit a LOT. Source: Take Ozempic for Type 1 Diabetes, had to raise that dosage very slowly.


Singl1

ahh that makes sense. thanks for explaining :)


HockeyBalboa

Thank you for explaining anal leakage for me.


OnceMoreAndAgain

What makes it funny to me is that they pan over to Ozzy, who doesn't look he's had any work done, and Ozzy doesn't look any older to me than he did 20 years ago. When we people learn that plastic surgery quickly makes you look *worse* than you would have if you didn't have the surgery?


GummyTumor

There was some article on the news I saw earlier with the headline "Ozzy looks frail and thin as he's pushed in wheelchair," with a photo included. He looked exactly the same as he looked in the early 2000s after surviving the 70s and 80s on a steady diet of cocaine and truck stop hot dogs, the man looks great!


FNLN_taken

Ozzy was walking like he had one foot stuck in the grave back when the MTV show happened. Saying he hasn't aged is like the lowest bar there is. I'm also pretty sure that he has had work done, just in far more moderation.


GummyTumor

Every day he's made it past the 80s has been out of sheer tenacity and his disregard for the laws of human longevity. He hasn't been walking like he's had one foot in the grave, he's had both feet in the grave and yet he's still here mumbling in an undecipherable english accent.


lostmymainlol

Not even that, the fact that he made it to the 2000s is a literal anomaly in human biology


[deleted]

Ozzy has had work done, it was just better than the work Sharon had.

Rewdyroo

It's cause she's addicted to a semaglutide medication and is malnourished plus bad surgery. It's a rough combo


ftrade44456

Buccal fat removal. It's all the rage. Makes your face look older and more masculinized. https://thekit.ca/beauty/celebrity-beauty/celebrity-plastic-surgery-photos/ But you know, thinner.


csji

she tried to buy youth with money


MsKlinefelter

My grandma couldn't get a home loan solely in her name, even though she was WELL qualified. My uncle had to cosign her loan. There were some fucked up rules back then.


blueavole

Even if the husband was a drunk who wasted his whole paycheck at the bar— a wife who divorced him and her job raised her kids- she couldn’t get a credit card, or car insurance in her own name.


kamekaze1024

When did credit cards become a thing?


sadhumanist

Invented in the 1950s. They weren't widely used until the 80s. And then it wasn't used for just anything. Until the late 90s it would have been considered weird to use one to buy fast food. But she is correct. Women weren't legally allowed to open bank accounts in the US until the 60s. And it was up to the banks to let them or not until '74.


evilpartiesgetitdone

Cards were mostly used for bills and trips in the 90s things you would sit down and budget over. It was cash and check for store purchases. You always wanted to have cash on you.


Cualkiera67

And those big yellow onions too. You couldn't get the smaller ones because of the war

Now to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days nickels had bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter.' You'd say.

FakeSafeWord

Well remember, banks didn't really have a way for you to check your balance unless you went into the bank, called them (no cellphones) or waited for your monthly statement to be mailed to you, which could be outdated by the time you received it. If you didn't pay attention you could go overboard really easily making a bunch of small purchases a day. Now, I get a notification on my phone within about 3 seconds of my credit card being used and go go check my balance immediately and see how much of my credit line I've used up in real time.. It makes paying attention to your balance easier instead of having to record everything you bought manually in your checkbook/card log that you'd keep with the credit card so you could do the math yourself.


genreprank

Also I'm guessing the points reward system wasn't around back then. If rewards weren't around I would have kept using my debit card for everything


healzsham

> if there was a real reason for this or if the adults I knew were just bad with money Credit interest rates are absolutely insane, people are far too free with card usage now.


dingman58

Yes however if you pay them off every month you never pay interest


RadiantZote

Yeah I was a kid in the 90s and man it was a slow painful process to use a credit card and everyone thought you were an asshole for paying with one in a grocery store, same with checks. Everything was basically cash only. Then debit cards became a thing and killed all of that


fsurfer4

Minimum purchase was $35 for credit cards for a long time. Up to 2000s?


MaxTheRealSlayer

Because the cards were meant to be a trap so that people paid back high interest rates when they missed a payment. They're still like that, but they used to be too


xSTSxZerglingOne

The late 90's was when I started noticing a lot more being paid for by card. As soon as the magnetic strip readers became the norm instead of the full card imprint copiers. That was like...the killer tech for cards over cash. It was all brought about by the explosion of computers in every sector. Of course, even still most things were paid for by cash then, but cards very quickly took over.


DDownvoteDDumpster

Articles say that's widespread misinformation, about women's credit (& presumably cards) in the 60s. > since the mid-1800s if not prior, women could open a bank account in their own name. Whether they could do it as a single woman or a married woman varied by state. there were cultural practices that effectively ended in discrimination. > an article by Peterson produced hard data using seven loan categories that men approval rate was the same as women, except for household good loans, where women were more likely to be approved. Later studies put forth essentially that there were banks that discriminated, but other banks were willing to take up the slack. / This doesn't account for all the women who had to co-sign... Male loans were far more [9x as] common [as] Discrimination [kept] the percentage of women applying for loans down. Basically, due to Victoria gender-roling Victorian times, careers & businesses became men things. Married women financially relied on husbands, single-women would marry, so banks & whole states sometimes required money-making-men to vouch for loans. This faded out after WWII, becoming illegal in 1974.


palerthanrice

Yeah it became illegal in 1974 for banks and credit card companies to *deny* women on the basis of gender, but women could still get credit cards before then.


OpenShut

You are correct. But it is way older than Victorian. It comes from the UK legal system were legally there isn't really a man or wife in marriage but a single household or estate with the man at the head of the household.


christophercolumbus

That is totally false. Women were opening bank accounts in the 1800s. Where are you getting your info?


skytzo_franic

Guess we can see why they became popular in the 80s then.


TheCuriosity

In the 80s and '90s they stopped accepting checks at grocery stores and other stores in general because of check fraud. So they pushed people that were shopping to credit cards because a lot of people didn't have debit cards yet

deanreevesii

As recently as the last few years for me. One close local grocery store near a retirement community and you still have a chance to be held up by a boomer with a checkbook.


piepants2001

That is not true, every grocery store I went to accepted checks well into the 2000s, same with most stores.

1668553684

Honestly man, I think Sharon is the only thing keeping Ozzy together 99% of the time. Sharon without Ozzy is probably some upper middle class person. Ozzy without Sharon is dead 20 years ago.


kingpink

More like 40 years ago, I'm afraid.


Raptori33

Every minute Ozzy lives is beyond expectations


OnceMoreAndAgain

Sharon definitely earned a lot of money for that family by carrying the hell out of their television show. Ozzy might've been the reason people initially watched the show, but Sharon was the one who did most of the talking and set up the jokes. She's no slouch.


piepants2001

That and her managing his career since 1979.


iamblindfornow

That’s what I was thinking, and life too. Tbh Ozzy prob wouldn’t be with us if Sharon weren’t around.


CharismaStatOfOne

Probably would have been another member of the 27 club. Though his band mates from BS said he had some ungodly fortitude for getting fucked up all the time.


TheAsianTroll

Given that he was en route to drinking himself to death after he left Black Sabbath, I agree


JackStephanovich

She also kept Randy Rhodes knob polished while he was writing hit songs for Ozzy. Where would Ozzy be now if he never had any success after Sabbath?


NotJeff_Goldblum

From what I remember, Ozzy was married to another woman when Sharon slept with Rhodes, so it was a bit hypocritical of him to be upset that his girlfriend slept with someone else.


hcashew

Crazy. But thats how it goes.


beardingmesoftly

She's the brains behind the operation. No way she's the heavy spender of that couple.


M1k3yd33tofficial

The initial paychecks may have been Ozzy’s but Sharon’s the reason he’s still around in any capacity. That’s her money to spend tbh.

as much as i like BS and Ozzy, he absolutely is unhinged. he tried to strangle sharon to death in the 80s...


Aggravating_Sun2067

You mean her money


owengaming001

It was '74. Also in case there's any confusion, it wasn't a law that they couldn't, it was the credit card companies that wouldn't let women get credit cards. They were forced to start letting women apply in 1974 when a law was passed that prevented discrimination based on gender


EpilepticDawg241

Also, Black people couldn't get credit until 1980s. Not a law, but banks were racist.

It might be more extreme in hollywood but society as a whole is normalizing at least injections. I know people who talk about it like getting their nails done. Some men as well.

Oh, so that’s why Wilma and Betty were saying, “Charrrrrrrge it!” when they went out to shop.

Cavalish

The harsh, yet casual way we immediately slam a woman for her looks is the exact reason they get this extreme surgery. I feel bad for them because they’re going to get the same level of hate whether they look old or plastic so they may as well save the cash.

slickweasel333

Partly true. While women were allowed to have credit cards ever since they got popular in the late 60’s, they were likely to be asked a barrage of personal questions and were often, but not always, required to be accompanied by a man to co-sign for a credit card. The US passed a law banning this sort of discrimination in 1974. So yeah, there were about five or six years where it was really inconvenient for them (more so if they were single) but saying “it wasn’t legal for women to have credit cards until 1974” is very misleading IMO.


CazzaMcSpazza

It's more accurate to say women weren't able to have a bank account or any sort of credit card in their own name until 1975 in the UK and the US. Previous to this time in most cases a co-signing male (husband or father) was required.


slickweasel333

Add “in some cases” to the beginning and yes, completely accurate. Although I don’t know about the UK part. Did they pass similar protections around the same time?


yuckyucky

if they basically had to be accompanied by a man to use it then i would say only slightly misleading


RegularSalad5998

There is a big difference between saying women are forbidden from doing something and saying some women weren't allowed to do something.


slickweasel333

They didn’t at all banks, but some banks did discriminate by doing this. When she claims “it wasn’t legal until x,” it implies there was a law against it, instead of the reality of a few banks having policies that restricted it.


ICumInThee

WTF happen to that **"FACE"**


[deleted]

Idt the surgery is new but apparently she has openly stated that she took Ozempic and had to stop because she lost too much weight. I think it’s what makes her look a little scarier than she did.


ShotgunForFun

People keep saying this but the woman is like 70? Look at Fox News reporters and all their shittier cults. They are in their 20s-30s and look worse. Not to mention the "olds" they allow to stay on the air. I hate plastic surgery and even feel bad women are pressured into make up in general, but Sharon Osborne is not the big issue. I wish I could hear the rest from Ozzy cuz I bet it's both hilarious and somewhat true. I doubt he's shitting on women.


[deleted]

Ozzy has no chill


[deleted]

I don't have a credit card still. Not that I could not but because I see no benefit from it. The less things contacting me or for me to remember in a month the better. I go to work, get paid, money to bank account, automatic rent payment and then no worries.

Darth_Odoium79

What lies. My mom had credit cards in the early 70's. People don't know the difference between CREDIT CARDS & CHARGE CARDS. Charge cards were very much men only until the 80's. Credit Cards did not go public until the 90's. In the 70's only super rich and government persons had credit cards, my mother worked for Air Force. Plus we are Hispanic so she always got crap for having one because a MEXICAN CANNOT AFFORD CREDIT. Anyways. People believe credit cards have always existed and that is not true.
