So, here’s the scoop: Our protagonist, let’s call him ‘Nature’s Call Nick’, was just trying to unwind after a long day at work. He was looking forward to a peaceful bathroom break when his family arrived home unexpectedly. His fiancée was upset that he wasn’t there to help with their son and dog (both referred to as ‘the kids’). Despite usually being a hands-on dad and partner, Nick found himself in hot water for choosing the bathroom over the driveway. Adding to the drama, his fiancée battles with mental health issues, which he’s committed to helping her address. The situation cooled down after about 30 minutes, but it certainly left Nick with a lot to ponder. Let’s see what the internet thinks about this bathroom break blunder.
