Sleeping Beauty Misses First Day at Work: Whose Fault Is It?

Meet our modern-day Sleeping Beauty (22F) and her Prince Charming (22M). She loves her sleep, so much so that alarm clocks are no match for her.

The drama unfolds when she lands a job in a corporate office and needs to be up early for her first day. She makes him promise to wake her up, but things don’t go as planned…

A Promise, A Missed Alarm, and A Blame Game: Who’s in the Wrong? ‍♀️

So, our Prince Charming did everything he could to wake up his Sleeping Beauty for her big day, but to no avail. She overslept, missed her first day at work, and came home blaming him for breaking his promise. Despite his best efforts, he’s now caught in a whirlwind of blame and accusations. But is it really his fault? Or is it time for Sleeping Beauty to take responsibility for her own wake-up calls? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this tangled tale of sleep, promises, and blame.
