Is laziness one of your pet peeves?
I’m not talking about your own laziness, but the lazy tendencies of other people…
Because it drives me crazy!
And I think the guy who wrote this story on Reddit might agree with me on that one.
Read what he had to say about a situation with his wife, and see if you think he took things too far.
AITA? My wife is upset with me.
“I work 2 jobs. One full time (40 hours a week) and the other part time (15-20 hours a week). I work remote, so I get some overlap when and never really end up working more than 45-50 hours a week.
My wife does not work and is a full time student for the past couple of years, but she has not taken any classes for a couple months. Although I have done a couple classes for her because she was really stressed out.
We have been married for 10 years, no children. Bills were tight, so I got the second job 5 months ago.
The story: I was supposed to go to the store this morning to pick up some things. But as soon as I woke up, we had a major fire at my second job. I’m in Ecommerce Management and Digital marketing. So a fire is a huge problem.
Wow, this lady is something else…
It’s now 12 pm and I have still not gone to the store.
My wife is upset at me and calling me names… lazy, liar, so on and so forth while playing Xbox on the couch.
I am dealing with slacks, project managing, and on the phone with devs since 8 am while also trying to slip in my full time job while I am waiting on updates.
This is ridiculous!
I got a little upset and asked her why she doesn’t just go to the store? We have a car. We have a joint bank account.
She said her foot is hurting her and I get that. It’s why I agreed to go to the store in the first place. But I also broke my toe a week ago. So technically none of us should be going to the store.
I probably shouldn’t have agreed in the first place, but that is my life.
AITA?”
If they’re both injured, having whatever they need delivered might be the best option. Then nobody has to go to the store.
