I started invoicing my wife for all the half-full water glasses she leaves around the house.
By @tateee · Relationships
She leaves them on every single surface. The coffee table, the nightstand, the bookshelf, the bathroom counter. I'm tired of cleaning them up.
The full story
It's an epidemic. I'll find like 8 of them at the end of the day, all with a little bit of water left. So last night I got a piece of paper, wrote 'INVOICE' at the top, and listed 'Glass Relocation Services: $1.00 per glass.' The total was $8.00. I left it on her pillow. She hasn't said anything yet, but I can hear her laughing in the other room. I think it's funny, she's probably planning how to get me back. Worth it.

@hollylol — Genius. Doing this with my kids' socks.
@miloish — This is a classic passive aggressive response to her executive dysfunction.
@maemaybe — Lmao this is the kind of petty my relationship is built on. On their side.
@daniwelp — Why not just… only own two water glasses?
