Have you ever been sound asleep when someone wakes you up to tell you something?

If it were something important, you probably wouldn’t mind, but if they woke you up simply to say they were leaving for work, would that bother you?

In today’s story, one woman is really annoyed when her husband wakes her up in the morning before he leaves for work.

When he refuses to stop waking her up, she decides to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Let’s see how the story plays out.

Wake me up to say “I’m off to work” ??

When my ex & I were first married, he worked a 12 hr day, 4-on 3-off job where he had to leave at like 3:30 am.

I worked a normal office job and had regular people hours.

His did something really annoying.

On his work days, he’d wake me up before he left to say he was going to work and the obligatory “I love you”.

I asked him several times to not do that as I would have trouble going back to sleep.

So she annoyed him back.

He just wouldn’t stop.

So I started waking him up on his days off. “Bye honey – off to work!” “Doesn’t my hair look great today?”

That stopped him.

Sometimes the only way to get someone to stop doing something annoying is to do the same thing to them so they realize how annoying they are actually being.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This sounds like a sweet thing to do!

This person had the same problem with her dad.

Another person is glad the revenge worked.

This comment made me laugh!

Unless there’s a good reason to wake someone up, let them sleep!

That is great life advice.
