Husband Roasted By Internet For Expecting His Wife to Clean Their House Alone So That He Can Bring Friends Over Unannounced
This husband insisted that his wife keep their house clean at all times so that he could drop in unannounced with friends and coworkers without feeling embarrassed, a position that has painted him as a villain in the internet's eyes.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the husband, u/Throwawaynes767 who used a throwaway account to shield their identity. The thread was posted with the title "AITA for telling my wife that it was embarrassing that the house was a mess when I had guests over?"
Commenters were outraged at the poster's actions and let him have it in their responses.
"YTA," replied SpookyArmadillo. "You basically sprung this upon her, didn't check to see if she happened to see the one (1) text where you just casually decided to spontaneously bring home people that day, and showed literally zero care that she wasn't feeling well. SAHM stands for stay-at-home mom, not stay-at-home maid. Her priority is the children. Not to be on call to make the house look unrealistically tidy in an hour's time."
Funniest Work Memes for All the Nine to Five Warriors Out There Getting Punched in the Face by the New Inflation Rate
We all put up with a lot of special BS during our nine to fives, but recently things have definitely reached a new level of absurdity since the inflation rate has decided to jump to a whopping 9.1, yet our salaries have not fully gotten the memo. Does this make the office place a little tenser? Definitely. But what can we do? Ask our employers for raises? Us and every other employee in America, but we would love to hear if anyone's raise actually matches that 9.1 rises. That would definitely be inspiring.
Until then, at least we can laugh at how ridiculous the economy looks today, and try to make fun predictions about when it is all going to return to normal. It needs to return to normal eventually right? Let's just put those kinds of thoughts aside for now and try to thoroughly enjoy these work memes that we found this week.
Bride Refuses to Pay Harpist Because of Her Dress Color
This wedding harpist was going to be playing at a wedding for a family that she had known for a long time. Leading up to the wedding she was sure to get her dress color approved so that there would be no misunderstanding on the day of the wedding. Inexplicably, the bride ended up wearing the same color of dress, even though the family had said nothing to the harpist. The family used this as an excuse to not pay the harpist for her services.
The thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the harpist who is wondering if she was wrong for wearing a dress the same color as the bride.
Commenters reassured the harpist that she had done nothing wrong and had even gone above and beyond any expectation. They felt that the bridal party just wanted to find a reason to not pay her.
"Girl no, they just wanted to stiff you." said Creepy_Meringue3014 "You did everything you were supposed to. In future, invoice clients and keep electronic records in case things escalate in ways you cannot mitigate via fatherly intervention. Nta."

Insane Company Policy Revokes Tips and Reduces Wages of Outgoing Employees
Photos of an alleged resignation policy went viral on Reddit after they were posted to a popular subreddit. The resignation policy claims that the company will withhold all tips and reduce the wages of all outgoing employees.
The thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by an ex-employee's perplexed boyfriend. He posted the thread with the title "My girlfriend's last job has an interesting response to quitting."
These kinds of manipulative policies are often implemented by bad employers in order to gaslight uninformed workers into thinking that the employer has the power to do such a thing. In reality, any policy that isn't legal isn't going to hold any water when push comes to shove.
Commenters were shocked by the policy and questioned its legality.
"My gut says at least one of those is illegal in the US." commented geekymutt.
Another commenter, Ok-Gear-5593, advised that the workers take action. "Send it to your state wage and labor department. The company may be too small for them to care about or rules to apply though."
Technically Accurate Moments That Are Definitely Sort Of Right
Sure, we could do things correctly all the time, but where's the drama in that? We're busy people, and doing things in a way that is only technically right is a far superior option when it comes to looking clever and making people upset. Doing something incorrectly or being wrong is obviously shameful, but being technically right or technically accurate is all about making the right call with style.
In this collection of beautiful technically accurate moments from Reddit, we have a mother who told an adopted child they were an easy physical birth for her, a doctor whose diagnosis didn't quite hit the patient right, someone who might need to re-learn how astrology works, and someone who reached out to a news station telling them they have a scoop. Just not the right kind of scoop.
That's the beauty of technically accurate moments that aren't incorrect. They take lunch to the next level. Carry on!
