I wonder how many people didn't get it and thanked them for their service.

Yeah for real. My experience is those women tend to be a bit off kilter.

No, they tend to be crazy, entitled cunts actually. They ask for military discounts and are convinced their husband's rank and service somehow extends to them and that makes them worthy of hallowed respect while treating any service worker like absolute garbage.

Once again, this is my experience, and I'll admit it's skewed by the fact that I work in retail and have dealt with at least a dozen of these kinds of women over the past two decades.

And plenty of selection bias. There's very rarely a pleasant reason to mention your partner's occupation to a service worker, so anyone who's going to be normal slips under the radar.

I met way more dickhead husband's than entitled wives while I was in. Like anything there's a very vocal minority of problem people but by and large people just treat it as a job.

That just reminded me, back before Reddit went batshit, I used to love reading a subreddit filled with stories about this. I can't remember the name though. It wasn't r/justbootthings but something similar dedicated just to girlfriends/wives.

Also, stereotypically speaking, all young soldiers' wives have affairs when they get deployed to pertect ffreedoooom. Then take their signing bonus in the divorce when they get back.

Basically it's a signal that the husband is away on deployment and that the lady of the house is entertaining other male company.

Ah that makes sense. Never would have guessed that detergent was the signal of choice lol

My wife keeps the detergent on the ledge of our laundry room window. It’s gotta be like a living room or bedroom window, right?
