'He decided to miss his shift as a way to teach me a lesson': Wife forgets to iron husband's uniform, he lashes out

Whatever happened to doing your own chores? This guy clearly couldn't fathom the idea of ironing his own uniform. Instead, he had to throw a fit when his wife said she didn't have time to do it herself. She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and let's just say that the comments section was pretty savage toward the husband.

 

To clarify, the Redditor is a stay-at-home mom with three children and plenty of house chores already. She even said she likely wouldn't have time to iron her husband's uniform when he first asked her to do it, and he refused to listen. If someone asks you for a favor and you say you won't have time to help, they literally can't get mad when hours later, you weren't able to help just like you said. It gets worse, though. This guy refused to go to his shift so he could "teach [his wife] a lesson" about respect. No, this isn't a tale from the 1950s. This happened in 2022. If this man-child isn't careful, he may lose his job and his wife.

Worker Manipulates Meddling Micromanager Into Annihilating Their Own Work

There's nothing more satisfying than watching the slow-motion train-wreck implosion of a deserving person destroying themself. This micromanaging boss was manipulated into doing exactly that when they tried to pick apart their own work, somehow without even recognizing that it was their own.

As commenters have pointed out, doing shift work where the schedule was made by a different person every week would be absolutely maddening. There would be zero consistency with when you were scheduled, and requesting special dispensation to work around other life obligations would be a disaster. How would you possibly be able to communicate with each of them the nuances of your life? I've set rosters, and it's challenging enough to keep track of people's availability doing it week in and week out.

This sounds like an incredibly toxic way for a workplace to operate, and it's no wonder that people like this manager managed to thrive.

'I use AI to do my job': Guy gets demoted, demotes his workplace and uses AI to complete his work

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you —at least sometimes. It doesn't take one long to come up with multiple instances where following this ethos to the letter would create some incredibly unfortunate situations. Well, when this guy was demoted and forced to work for a "micromanaging sociopath," he decided to demote his workplace and automated his job with an AI; the work was still being done —but he didn't have to do it. 

Honestly, this still sounds like a win-win situation to us. If the work was still being done, but they weren't able to discern a difference, then he's effectively acting as a contracted middleman for the operation. There are heaps of businesses that would contract out this service for (probably) far more than he is being paid.

Funniest Memes for People Who Stopped Glamorizing the Grind and Started Normalizing the Good Life

We've all seen those Instagram motivators who are obsessed with working so hard that they have no life and have no friends. Sure, a good work ethic is important to have in your life, laziness doesn't really get you anywhere, but worshiping "The Grind" over everything else is a little bit unhinged and psycho. When are you even going to be able to spend all that money you're making if you work 8 days a week and all of your waking hours are spent on full blast.

 

Some civilized folks these days have tuned out the chattering, creatine-fueled noise of the hustle culture people and have learned to adopt a more sustainable way of life, which certainly does not involve the grind. For example, it's important that we all enjoy a cup of coffee in the garden every now and then, or maybe we get more than 7+ hours of sleep at night. Now that's the kind of lifestyle I can get behind.
