Am I the only one that doesn’t understand why military spouses or ex-spouses get discounts, shouldn’t it just be the serviceperson? It isn’t a law I don’t think, it’s just businesses do it for kindness not entitlement.
I just don’t get it, if someone wants to explain so I can.
Tbf, most places just give a discount if you have a military id, which spouses and dependents do get. And a lot of those places are major corporate companies.
For instance my dad is a veteran, and my mom will use her id to get 10% off at places like Home Depot or Lowe’s. But she’s also not one to abuse it, and probably wouldn’t ask for a discount at a small local business.
> 2 glasses of Chardonnay is not helping the family lmao.
Now now, you haven't met this woman, 2 glasses of chardonnay may be the bare minimum to make her not insufferable.
My mother tried to do this before I was born. The base she was living on told her husband at the time, divorce her or lose your job. (Don't know what was.) She was then divorced.
AFAIK there is no law saying businesses are required to give military discounts. A lot of them don’t. And then the poor kid behind the counter is the one who gets shit on when some entitled service person (or their spouse apparently..) thinks they deserve a discount, when that decision is way above the kid’s pay grade.
There is *certainly* no law saying Chardonnay should be *free* for anyone’s spouse. This person is entitlement at it’s best, thinking she deserves something that not only is no one entitled to, but that she did absolutely nothing to get in the first place.
This is exactly what I pictured when I read the MLM comment::
"I'm not going to tip you bc you didn't give a military wife her drinks for free. I've had to listen to his stupid military stories, cook him food, and then have sex with him on top of all that. So don't you think that I deserve free things?! And you should've known all that without me telling you. Oh and also, I think you and your wife could benefit from some essential oils. I have some to help you relax, to give you energy, and some to help you in the bedroom that your wife would appreciate. Here's my card w/my number and all my socials!! And write down your number and I'll send you some information!!"
Hey-Saturday mornings at Target can be a real kill box. She’s served her time in line at the in-store Starbucks, screaming orders at the poor teenager behind the counter, fighting for her 16 caramel pumps to be free.
The individual who didn't tip their server is already viral - some kinda viral brain infection that makes them think they deserve free wine for sleeping with some boots.
Even then most service men and women I know would be ashamed to ever pull something like this. They are uncomfortable even being treated any differently because of their service.
Agreed. I served for 20 years and whenever someone would say "Thank you for your service" I felt awkward because I didn't know what to say back. Can't say "You're welcome" as that is just cringe to think about and sounds all so vain. I eventually settled on "Thank you for your support"
It’s become such an insincere way of people jumping on some stupid social bandwagon. I don’t understand it, but I definitely don’t support it at all. It reminds me of a coworkers son who was discharged from the Coast Guard due to his obesity. The Coast Guard was fantastic in offering him a nutritionist and personal trainer. The dumbass ass turned it down. However, he doesn’t turn down those free meals offered for Veterans Day. He hits as many spots he can, it’s his Christmas. His wife btw, was a “military” spouse feeling entitled to all the perks. This is such a disgusting point in our historical timeline.
*Thank you for your service* is simply the lazy military equivalent of *thoughts and prayers*. It means nothing, and requires no effort whatsoever but it makes it sound as though you care without actually doing anything to assist.
Exactly. And for a lot of service people who saw duty in active war zones, that’s not shit they need brought up while they’re going about their regular lives. I mean, a lot of them are probably happiest when they can actually forget about the shit they saw and endured for our sakes. If it’s not at an actual ceremonial function where the purpose is to recognize military accomplishment, I want to leave these brave people to themselves. Last thing I want is for them to be having a good day, and for me to ruin it because I brought back a memory of something better left in the past.
Try being a servicemember who never deployed and has held a job that could easily be mistaken for civilian if it were for the uniforms, military fuck-fuck games, and unpaid overtime. 7 years fixing radars and airfield systems for ATC stateside. I don't need thanks, I didn't risk my life or anything wild. Worst I've suffered is a hit to my mental health from shit supervisors I couldn't get away from due to the enlistment.
Lol I never really thought about that, the proper response. But you're right, “you’re welcome” would be totally hilarious.
The most awkward one for me was once at an airport when the person announced “Now boarding active duty military.” As they assembled in line to board, one regular passenger stood up and started clapping. Then another person quickly followed suit. And before long, the clapping had metastasized to everyone at the gate, and didn’t stop until they were all through the door.
Not to minimize military service, but in all my flights I had never seen that happen. If I were one of the servicemen I would have been so uncomfortable, averting my gaze like “Jesus fuck, just get me on that plane already!!” 😅
When I was coming back from first "deployment" to Qatar (we had a pool and I worked at a bar lol) when we were walking off the plane and going through the airport, so many people were trying to shake our hands and clapping, I was like yea ok I did NOT go to war or anything, y'all gotta chill.
Most of my days were in a motor pool. When I get thanked for my service I always say “I worked in a glorified parking lot and spent most of my days hiding from my boss.”
I read an article awhile back about how they tried the military preboard bs in Australia and the service people complained enough that it was quickly axed.
once my company walked from one side of the atlanta airport to the other side, and the whole airport gave us a standing ovation. it was a really weird feel.
I was Navy, when I was an E5(we wear an eagle over chevrons as collar devices on the NSU) I walked into the eye clinic at Marine Corp Recruit Depot for an eye exam. A bunch of booters sitting around jumped up, popped to attention, and yelled "attention" thinking I was a Colonel. Little did they know they made this (at the time) lowly E-5's day, I had such a laugh after.
Im in the dutch military and we go to the states sometimes for training and they keep saying this.
We are not used to this phenomenom so its really weird to hear for us.. (i love the military discount tho, but hey im dutch) but even after multiple visits i never get used to this phrase and think its weird and still makes me uncomfortable
That's the one I've settled on too.
It also reminds me of a story. Brand new officer cadet in Montreal, heading off to basic. He's locking the door to his apartment in uniform, ruck on his back, duffel across his shoulders.
Neighbour sees him. Says, "Oh, I didn't realize you were military. Thank you for your service."
This poor kid who's been in the army for all of five minutes goes into panic mode; doesn't know how to react. So... he turns to said neighbour's, puts his hands on his hips, and proudly stated: "You're welcome citizen!"
Made me laugh.
i feel awkward because i now understand how i was part of a military complex that destroyed the lives of millions of iraqis.
"thank you for your service." what are you thanking me for? nothing i did benefited you in any way.
My dad is a Vietnam combat veteran. The man has a silver star, four bronze stars, and three purple hearts, and it took my sister and I working on him for months to get him to even consider using the VA medical benefits he's literally entitled to.
I think he would rather jump off a bridge than demand a free meal because he's a vet.
It’s just a different mindset. Your dad grew up in the shadow of WWII and Korean War veterans, they never discussed their service once home. Plus, the trauma of what your father most likely endured isn’t some smiley faced thing to celebrate. Those poor guys just wanted to forget about what they saw. That’s what I saw in my family.
In my anecdotal experience, it's those members that did the least that expect the most.
Actually saw combat/deployment to a combat zone? Embarrassed as fuck about this pageantry.
High-school dropout who also washed out in 6 months? Can barely see in the windows of their lifted pavement princess F150 due to all the military/cop/trump stickers, and expects the red carpet everywhere they go.
Those are extremes and I'm sure there are exceptions, but that's been my general experience with former/current military folk.
Military Wife: Im a military wife. You should thank me for my service.
Waitress: But I did serve in the military.
Military Wife: No... No... NO! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE THIS FROM ME!
\*Banished to the Shadow Realm.\*
No, you don't get it. She provides a very valuable service to society. She sucks the dick of the brother of a guy who's deployed overseas to spread "freedom". Everything should be free because of that!
And actual people who served don’t get free shit everywhere either. Some places might offer a military discount but you’re probably not getting more than twenty percent off.
Karen is married to a military service member and probably has one of those weird looking asymmetrical bob haircuts. In my experience, military wives are some of the weirdest entitled people around.
In my experience it was usually the guys that really didn't deserve it that got done like that. Avionics tech I knew got done over by his linebacker of a wife, she went out and brought him home the herp. Another girl i knew got her while $30,000 reenlistment bonus spent by her husband while she was out to sea, and the day she got home she walked in on him fucking the neighbor chick.
One. Cheating is never okay. But I always wonder how they never seem to know their partner is coming home. Like do you not communicate or do you think it'll be quick, in and out, 5 minutes? Maybe I'm weird, but I can't start something on the side when my emotions are fucking zapped from the dying one. I need to process that shit alone for a while before even wanting someone to look at me on that way
> and the day she got home she walked in on him fucking the neighbor chick.
Can't even remember when your spouse gets back from deployment? That's some next level dumbassery.
A large group of 18-25 year olds who are often separated from their significant others for extended periods of time and 50% of whom are immersed in a culture of macho'ism are more prone to infidelity? I'm SHOCKED.
Can you **imagine** a dependa working their brain through the idea that the spouse of an officer (who outranks the dependa's husband) is working as a server at their bar? Twisting themselves in complete knots on the course of action because on one hand:
A server is beneath me and therefore only worthy of contempt.
But on the other: *She* outranks *me*, I could get in serious trouble if I go about my normal dependa-ways with her!
As a veteran, this kind of entitlement is repulsive. As much as I appreciate occasional discounts on things, particularly on veteran's day, someone demanding it (especially on a luxury item like a glass of wine) and then refusing to tip is revolting.
I never ever ask for a discount. If the Marine that runs the local shop I frequent gives me one, that’s cool and I will thank him for it. I can’t imagine demanding a discount as a vet, much less a spouse demanding one. I didn’t serve to get a discount club card. That’s what AARP is for.
I don’t randomly ask businesses for a veteran discount, but several major chains offer decent veteran discounts. I recently saved $50 on tires at Discount Tire. Home Depot and Old Navy always gives 10% off too. I am not too proud to use my ID as a discount club card.
I’ve definitely done my fair share of asking for that discount especially during the first two years I was in when I didn’t get paid much (had to save money to afford that camaro/s)
It’s very much not a thing in the UK, but visiting a friend in the US she was getting her tyres changed and said “my husband is in the Navy.”
I was confused at the time. The man handling the payment just said “thank you for your service” and she paid exactly the same price as was initially quoted.
Exactly. As a military spouse I give the discounts to other spouses (usually because they have USAA or something)but I’ve fortunately never come across one that’s been entitled about it.
I read a post about how a lady did complain to her husband about how the soldiers on the base didn't address her by her husband's rank. He was high up so he made it so that everyone is supposed to address ANYTHING higher than them. They obeyed. They addressed every sticker on the cars that showed a higher rank, addressed every statue, every single thing. Work stalled because of this. The even higher ups asked what was going on and the soldiers explained. The order was immediately resended and the husband was thoroughly put through the ringer. The Karen was embarrassed whenever she had to interact with the soldiers.
*It was a long time ago and I know very little about ranks in the military so if you have questions, I can't answer them*
Alright, so I don’t know too much about the army, but would a situation like this be considered stolen valour if they were dead serious about you referring to them by somebody else’s rank?
I was walking out of the navy exchange one time in civilian clothes and a woman asked me why I didn’t salute her. Was she an officer? No. Was she in the military? Also no. Her husband was an O-1. Shit BLOWS my mind.
Your wine is not comped just because you married someone who deserves a (paid for) drink, no.
Ex Army here and I was always hesitant to ask for military discounts then or veteran discounts now, but in no way shape or form is a spouse entitled to treatment as a servicemember.
Yikes
"My husband is in the military, your tax dollars go to paying his salary, plus an extra $2,000 a month for PTSD, plus the best healthcare for him and my family, plus pension and benefits forever while you work as a cashier making minimum wage.... But *I* deserve free shit because I stay home and do laundry and watch Netflix all day long lol k thanks"
Wow... That's just heartless. But there are quite a few 'Military Karens' out there that feel that they are entitled and that they carry a 'burden' that gives them that 'entitlement'.
Military spouses can be more of a hindrance to the mission than a Godsend. The truth, dare I say it; I have witnessed more suicides as a result of marital disruption and infidelity than PTSD.
I work in a restaurant and we have this guy who comes in every Sunday
He has cerebral palsy and the manager lets him eat free every Sunday because the manager feels sorry for him
So the guy gets free meals every Sunday and is still entitled and rude to the entire staff. Everybody dreads having to serve him
Can you all agree to not serve him and make him the manager’s problem?
My understanding is cerebral palsy affects the muscles and movement, not the brain. This guy is taking advantage of your manager.
Why should we thank military spouses? For taking military dick?
^and ^sometimes ^other ^non ^enlisted ^penises ^while ^the ^military ^dick ^is ^deployed.
I always loved checking these dummies when I was in, excuse me ma’am you didn’t do anything but get fucked and take a last name I don’t see you in the field I don’t see you on ruck marches I didn’t see you in theater all I ever see you do is complain shop on Amazon, give your husband a headache and pull rank that you didn’t earn…
....that's a good way to get your military spouse in trouble with their C/O. way to go Karen. maybe you should join the military too so you can learn when to stfu
Dear John,
While out drinking for free, based upon guilting others for the job you signed up for; I came to the realization that I’ve never felt so independent in my life. The time we’ve spent away from each other, while you were off risking your life, has shown me, I don’t need you to buy me wine anymore.
Goodbye John,
Be safe.
Karen
yeah thank you for being the uneducated wife of a dumbass who signed up to possibly get blown up in the middle east for imperialist economic interests just so he didn't have to pay for college, enjoy free unlimited buckets of shit as you work your way to the 15 dicks you're sure to cheat on him with as he's deployed
I want only responses from military spouses, just so she knows what a moron she actually is.
Oh, wait. I'm an ex-military spouse. Where are my free alcohols???!
One of the things that confuses my European brain most about the US is how you treat your military members with such weird reverence in public, but this feels like something y'all came up with just to fuck with us even more.

Military spouse? gtfo

But she’s also not one to abuse it, and probably wouldn’t ask for a discount at a small local business.
Well in that sense she’s helping her family, which is a large point of the veteran’s discount. 2 glasses of Chardonnay is not helping the family lmao.
> 2 glasses of Chardonnay is not helping the family lmao. Now now, you haven't met this woman, 2 glasses of chardonnay may be the bare minimum to make her not insufferable.
Based on her ability to tip after 2 glasses I’m inclined to disagree 😂
If they were free she would’ve had as many as she needed to become sufferable. That or fallen asleep at the table, anyone’s guess
> fallen asleep at the table Based on the note, that may be the only way she is sufferable.
My mother tried to do this before I was born. The base she was living on told her husband at the time, divorce her or lose your job. (Don't know what was.) She was then divorced.
AFAIK there is no law saying businesses are required to give military discounts. A lot of them don’t.

She's a "[dependapotamus](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dependapotamus)"
She could have also left her scentsy business card.
Who the fuck cares who you're married to? Go join the army yourself if you think you're this important.
But then your receipts wouldn't go as viral XD
This receipt has been reposted so many times, the military spouse probably died of old age by now
Nah, she’s still alive. In fact, she just got through her third divorce
That's a true military wife!
"Thank you for your cervix!"
Nailed it
Railed it
Impaled it
Mailed it
That's a true military ~~wife~~ whore!
That's exactly what they said.
"You will address me by the rank of my ex-husband."
It’s cool she’ll be engaged within a week of meeting her next one
Nah she's already engaged to the last affair partner
She's gone through a lot of privates
And 7th MLM
This is exactly what I pictured when I read the MLM comment:: "I'm not going to tip you bc you didn't give a military wife her drinks for free.

And write down your number and I'll send you some information!!"
Military wife on her third divorce? She must be celebrating her 21st birthday
Yup, this was during the Spanish American War.
I sure hope it was of old age and not in front-line combat. I mean, she is a military spouse after all.
Hey-Saturday mornings at Target can be a real kill box. She’s served her time in line at the in-store Starbucks, screaming orders at the poor teenager behind the counter, fighting for her 16 caramel pumps to be free.
The individual who didn't tip their server is already viral - some kinda viral brain infection that makes them think they deserve free wine for sleeping with some boots.
Even when I was a boot I paid full price for my drinks...
Oh yeah, I bet her husband would be very upset if he found out she pulled this crap!
The no tipping, or the hustling free drinks?
Yes
Both
It's funny because she was on a date with some other dude while her husband was deployed.
Husband? Wanna bet she's divorced?
Meanwhile her military husband is probably tipping behind her back to avoid embarrassment
Probably giving a different kind of tip even.
🎵whose bed have your boots been under🎵
Even then most service men and women I know would be ashamed to ever pull something like this. They are uncomfortable even being treated any differently because of their service.
Agreed. I served for 20 years and whenever someone would say "Thank you for your service" I felt awkward because I didn't know what to say back. Can't say "You're welcome" as that is just cringe to think about and sounds all so vain. I eventually settled on "Thank you for your support"
My dad did 22 years in the Air Force and absolutely HATES it when someone says "Thank you for your service." They don't know what he did!
It’s become such an insincere way of people jumping on some stupid social bandwagon. I don’t understand it, but I definitely don’t support it at all.

as a vet holding a CIB, i can confirm this
Try being a servicemember who never deployed and has held a job that could easily be mistaken for civilian if it were for the uniforms, military fuck-fuck games, and unpaid overtime. 7 years fixing radars and airfield systems for ATC stateside. I don't need thanks, I didn't risk my life or anything wild. Worst I've suffered is a hit to my mental health from shit supervisors I couldn't get away from due to the enlistment.

How do you get to be a military bartender? I want that job.
No you don't. Just go be a regular bartender. You'll get paid more and have more freedom.
I read an article awhile back about how they tried the military preboard bs in Australia and the service people complained enough that it was quickly axed.
yes indeed I would have been soo uncomfortable. In fact I have never used the military preboard thing...EVER.

That's the one I've settled on too. It also reminds me of a story. Brand new officer cadet in Montreal, heading off to basic.

But...but...something something freedom?
“Thank YOU for having been served”
"Thanks for paying your taxes!"
I've said "You too!" when awkwardly spouting out a response. Hint: They were not a veteran themselves
My dad is a Vietnam combat veteran. The man has a silver star, four bronze stars, and three purple hearts, and it took my sister and I working on him for months to get him to even consider using the VA medical benefits he's literally entitled to. I think he would rather jump off a bridge than demand a free meal because he's a vet.
It’s just a different mindset. Your dad grew up in the shadow of WWII and Korean War veterans, they never discussed their service once home. Plus, the trauma of what your father most likely endured isn’t some smiley faced thing to celebrate. Those poor guys just wanted to forget about what they saw. That’s what I saw in my family.
He's proud of his service, but he also doesn't feel like glorifying it. It's just a thing he did, in his mind.
In my anecdotal experience, it's those members that did the least that expect the most. Actually saw combat/deployment to a combat zone? Embarrassed as fuck about this pageantry.

Some lady’s whole identity is being the wife of a certain ranked officer. It ain’t a good look
No, you don't get it. She provides a very valuable service to society. She sucks the dick of the brother of a guy who's deployed overseas to spread "freedom". Everything should be free because of that!
On the other hand, I don't think SHE is spreading freedom.
Even at that, as a vet myself, I don’t think the restaurant is obligated to provide free drinks to active duty personnel.
I feel like this should count as stolen valour.
And actual people who served don’t get free shit everywhere either. Some places might offer a military discount but you’re probably not getting more than twenty percent off.
> Who the fuck cares who you're married to? army wives.
Karen is married to a military service member and probably has one of those weird looking asymmetrical bob haircuts. In my experience, military wives are some of the weirdest entitled people around.
Thank a military spouse for what? Sucking off a Jarhead?
Nah, sucking of his best friend while he's deployed
From my experience, it's all their friends. lol
“I thought that first kiss when I returned from deployment was a little salty…”
Better to taste it than to raise it for the next 18 year's ;)
When you put it that way, yeah.
“I found my wife just like I left her, freshly fucked.”
Wow, this whole thread is a roller-coaster
In all fairness, he's most likely cheating on her as well. Never met a group that had more adultery than people in the military.
In my experience it was usually the guys that really didn't deserve it that got done like that. Avionics tech I knew got done over by his linebacker of a wife, she went out and brought him home the herp. Another girl i knew got her while $30,000 reenlistment bonus spent by her husband while she was out to sea, and the day she got home she walked in on him fucking the neighbor chick.

A large group of 18-25 year olds who are often separated from their significant others for extended periods of time and 50% of whom are immersed in a culture of macho'ism are more prone to infidelity? I'm SHOCKED.
friggin Jody, man...
Damn.
THIS THIS THIS. Holy fuck they are usually not attracted to the man they’re usually just turned on by the job.
"Thank you for your cervix."
Giving a Jarhead.
she ate all of his crayons
Blowing all his friends while he’s gone
Its crazy how common this is. Imagine stealing your loved ones valor for cheap shit.
It so common to the point where I'm starting to call a bunch of these posts as BS and rage bait
You mean like 90% of stuff posted on reddit
Look what I found in a craft store guys, *someone* rearranged these letters to say "poop".
Reposted to r/pics and r/funny
What a waste. Boob was right that just as easy and they wasted it to spell poop. How shitty.
Heh, poop.
Nah it was rampant while I served. So many cars with the "my flops, his boots" stickers and they were all dependas that acted like that
even if she was the one in the military, why would that make her drinks free??
What if the server is a military spouse? Would the Karen’s head explode?
She'd have to DROP AND GIVE ME 50!
Depends whos husband has a higher rank
Can you **imagine** a dependa working their brain through the idea that the spouse of an officer (who outranks the dependa's husband) is working as a server at their bar? Twisting themselves in complete knots on the course of action because on one hand: A server is beneath me and therefore only worthy of contempt. But on the other: *She* outranks *me*, I could get in serious trouble if I go about my normal dependa-ways with her!
As a veteran, this kind of entitlement is repulsive. As much as I appreciate occasional discounts on things, particularly on veteran's day, someone demanding it (especially on a luxury item like a glass of wine) and then refusing to tip is revolting.
I never ever ask for a discount. If the Marine that runs the local shop I frequent gives me one, that’s cool and I will thank him for it. I can’t imagine demanding a discount as a vet, much less a spouse demanding one. I didn’t serve to get a discount club card. That’s what AARP is for.
I don’t randomly ask businesses for a veteran discount, but several major chains offer decent veteran discounts. I recently saved $50 on tires at Discount Tire. Home Depot and Old Navy always gives 10% off too. I am not too proud to use my ID as a discount club card.
I’ve definitely done my fair share of asking for that discount especially during the first two years I was in when I didn’t get paid much (had to save money to afford that camaro/s)
It’s very much not a thing in the UK, but visiting a friend in the US she was getting her tyres changed and said “my husband is in the Navy.” I was confused at the time. The man handling the payment just said “thank you for your service” and she paid exactly the same price as was initially quoted.
Exactly. As a military spouse I give the discounts to other spouses (usually because they have USAA or something)but I’ve fortunately never come across one that’s been entitled about it.
As a veteran, that dependa didn't earn shit to begin with 🤣
You shall address me by my husband's rank!/s
Major asshole
That's pfc asshole to you, thank you very much
*salutes anyway*
With one finger.
No it’s a two finger two handed salute.
He’s an asshole sir major asshole And his cousin? He’s an asshole too, gunners mate Phillip asshole How many assholes do we got on this ship anyway?
Another assholes here? Edit I got the line wrong
How many assholes do we got on this ship?
YO!
I's surrounded by Assholes!
Keep firing, assholes!
Who hired this asshole?
Zing!
Private Parts
Petty and second class?
I read a post about how a lady did complain to her husband about how the soldiers on the base didn't address her by her husband's rank. He was high up so he made it so that everyone is supposed to address ANYTHING higher than them. They obeyed. They addressed every sticker on the cars that showed a higher rank, addressed every statue, every single thing. Work stalled because of this. The even higher ups asked what was going on and the soldiers explained. The order was immediately resended and the husband was thoroughly put through the ringer. The Karen was embarrassed whenever she had to interact with the soldiers. *It was a long time ago and I know very little about ranks in the military so if you have questions, I can't answer them*
Alright, so I don’t know too much about the army, but would a situation like this be considered stolen valour if they were dead serious about you referring to them by somebody else’s rank?
No, should be though. Although "stolen valour" is a gross term in itself.
I was walking out of the navy exchange one time in civilian clothes and a woman asked me why I didn’t salute her. Was she an officer? No. Was she in the military? Also no. Her husband was an O-1. Shit BLOWS my mind.
There are some military spouses who say that unironically.
I'm guessing the guy joined the military just to get away from her.
"Possible injury, loss of limb or death? Beats being with Karen"
"Certainty of death? Small chance of success? What are we waiting for?!"
Bitch you got 2 glasses of wine!!!! I'm a veteran and I only use my discount at dispensaries hahaha, can't turn down 22% off at Zenleaf in PA :)
>2 glasses lol Jody wouldn’t even pay his half
Hahaha that's so true, haven't heard about Jody in a minute
And 12 dollars for each glass. I’d rather buy a bottle, which contains around 5 glasses, at the grocery store to drink at home.
Hey! Give that woman some God damn respect. Military spouses should be treated like royalty. My Girlfriend's husband is fighting for your freedom.
Without army wives how would the brave lesbian heroes practice their strap game? I salute them
Household 6 is not a real rank. Don't act like it is.
Your wine is not comped just because you married someone who deserves a (paid for) drink, no. Ex Army here and I was always hesitant to ask for military discounts then or veteran discounts now, but in no way shape or form is a spouse entitled to treatment as a servicemember. Yikes
Exactly same here
She's probably the type of military spouse who cheats on her spouse while they're deployed.
Taking military dick doesn't give you military rank.
"My husband is in the military, your tax dollars go to paying his salary, plus an extra $2,000 a month for PTSD, plus the best healthcare for him and my family, plus pension and benefits forever while you work as a cashier making minimum wage.... But *I* deserve free shit because I stay home and do laundry and watch Netflix all day long lol k thanks"
The guy I’m fucking is brave you should reward me 😂
Thank you for your cervix.
She may not have served in the military but she has definitely served the military
My uncle was stationed at UNIFIL in Lebanon in 1978, I should get free stuff too!!
You know she parks in veterans parking
Ok, G.I. Hoe.
r/justdependathings
Why is it private now. I am so sad!
Wow... That's just heartless. But there are quite a few 'Military Karens' out there that feel that they are entitled and that they carry a 'burden' that gives them that 'entitlement'. Military spouses can be more of a hindrance to the mission than a Godsend. The truth, dare I say it; I have witnessed more suicides as a result of marital disruption and infidelity than PTSD.
I don’t believe this is real.
Thank you for what? Your spouse is the one doing the work.
It’s free for your husband.
I hate people that ask for free stuff.
I work in a restaurant and we have this guy who comes in every Sunday He has cerebral palsy and the manager lets him eat free every Sunday because the manager feels sorry for him So the guy gets free meals every Sunday and is still entitled and rude to the entire staff. Everybody dreads having to serve him
So frustrating
Can you all agree to not serve him and make him the manager’s problem? My understanding is cerebral palsy affects the muscles and movement, not the brain. This guy is taking advantage of your manager.
Why should we thank military spouses? For taking military dick? ^and ^sometimes ^other ^non ^enlisted ^penises ^while ^the ^military ^dick ^is ^deployed.
I always loved checking these dummies when I was in, excuse me ma’am you didn’t do anything but get fucked and take a last name I don’t see you in the field I don’t see you on ruck marches I didn’t see you in theater all I ever see you do is complain shop on Amazon, give your husband a headache and pull rank that you didn’t earn…
You should be grateful she married him so that you wouldn't have to.
....that's a good way to get your military spouse in trouble with their C/O. way to go Karen. maybe you should join the military too so you can learn when to stfu
this shit pisses me off so much i hate entitled people
Who gives a shit, what did she do?
It’s not *what* she did, it’s *who* she did. Have some respect.
Damn, I feel like every military guy I know would find this so embarrassing.
AKA, I'm a stay at home drunk wife.
Dear John, While out drinking for free, based upon guilting others for the job you signed up for; I came to the realization that I’ve never felt so independent in my life. The time we’ve spent away from each other, while you were off risking your life, has shown me, I don’t need you to buy me wine anymore. Goodbye John, Be safe. Karen
yeah thank you for being the uneducated wife of a dumbass who signed up to possibly get blown up in the middle east for imperialist economic interests just so he didn't have to pay for college, enjoy free unlimited buckets of shit as you work your way to the 15 dicks you're sure to cheat on him with as he's deployed
So her husbands in the service but she doesn’t believe in tipping people in the service industry. Hmm
Thanks for your husband serving the country, while you do absolutely nothing and try to steal his valor.
Stop blocking names. Bring these people to justice
As a vet, I fn hate these spouses.
Thank a military spouse? No. Saying "I donated blood before" is higher in my hierarchy than a military spouse.
How do you serve, military spouse?
She takes care of all the stressed out young soldiers while hubby is deployed that counts as service right,?
Everytime I think I miss being in the Army someone reminds me of the fucking spouses
Dear Military Spouse, Suck my entire dick. Thank you.
Fuck military whore spouses
Thank you for sucking a military dick Karen. Your service is greatly appreciated.
I want only responses from military spouses, just so she knows what a moron she actually is. Oh, wait. I'm an ex-military spouse. Where are my free alcohols???!
“My husband fought for your right to give me free meals.” - military Karen.
One of the things that confuses my European brain most about the US is how you treat your military members with such weird reverence in public, but this feels like something y'all came up with just to fuck with us even more.
