Wife’s Surprised Reaction
The Great Slacks Debacle: Whose Fault Is It?
Our protagonist finds himself in a pickle when his slacks are missing from his suitcase upon arrival at his hotel. He calls his wife, upset and frustrated, only to find out that she had accidentally left them unwashed in their bedroom laundry basket. The couple argues over who’s to blame, with the wife saying she didn’t realize he meant the slacks when he asked if she packed his pants. She also points out that it’s unreasonable for him to be upset with her when they are his pants, and she wasn’t expected to do a whole second load of laundry at midnight. In the end, our protagonist apologizes, realizing that his stress from traveling and worrying about work played a role in the situation. The couple makes amends, but not without some surprising reactions from others. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
