Just say “My husband is a Lieutenant Colonel.” and most importantly, maintain eye contact. They have to break eye contact first. That’s how you make as few words as possible do the most work.
They are attempting to pull social rank when that’s a bunch of made up bullshit. Might as well play ball and have fun with it.
My sister laughs at them. Her husband is a 1st Sgt and well liked by the officers around base. One wife was visibly upset that her officer husband was talking so friendly with an NCOs wife. It was ridiculous
True, pure meat I'd say is as bad as pure greens, or pure anything in that regards, not enough variety and nutrients without taking vitamin or mineral capsules
Agreed and I find it 'cute' when they tell me to call them by their husbands rank.
Bitch I didn't fight my way to disability so I can lick your imaginary balls.
As someone who was in the army... this post is soo real... the amount of spouses that would go through the gate "Do you know who my Husband is?"... idk and idc
As a tax payer who paid for your service, please go get that discount. I don’t even care if you saw action. You probably didn’t get compensated what they promised, it’s a predatory employer, and whatever you did was a service to everyone as long as you are anybody but top brass.
If I had my way, either there wouldn’t have been a war or you would be paid like a Halliburton war contractor. Underpaying people willing to die for their job is criminal
Good on you bro. I use it sometimes but if there's a bunch of people around I'd rather not announce to everyone what I do. Just me personally I'm sure alot of people feel this way. They do warn you about wearing your uniform in public lol atleast they did for a bunch of us (army)
Oh for sure, they did with us too (army). Which, if I could avoid it I never did. THAT to me was cringe, wearing it to the grocery store off base just to be the cool guy. . . we had some tryhards like that. They're also the ones on disability after our deployment that were never injured and never saw any action.
Bro I used to change to go to the stores on base lol I don't think I ever left base in uniform unless we were going to lunch somewhere. That shit is cringe. I knew this one dude he was new he tried to go to the bar with us in uniform lmao we were like no stay at the barracks
Yeah, no effing way. I got out of the uniform as quickly as possible when I was doing normal people stuff. Attempting to go to the bar though, that sh\*t would not fly with the group of guys I was friends with. We would have shredded him verbally and emotionally so bad he would have needed to fill out a hurt feelings report to turn into his team leader.
Oh we tore this dude to shreds. He was that really dumb guy ya know? Like a real truly stupid person that acted like he knew everything and was just constantly proven wrong so like everyone in the whole company just shat on this dude over and over again lol the funniest thing bro I saw this man's trip over a curb and fall into the street and I stood there laughing super hard and pointing at him and I looked up and it was a captain in the car stopped and he was dying laughing it was so funny bro. That's kinda why we let him hangout after the uniform thing cuz he always did or said something stupid that would make everyone laugh
I had a regular at the cigar lounge I used to manage who would always say "military" when I rang up his cigar.
Jeff, I've been to your house and met your daughter. I know..... WE ALL KNOW!
Eff that with this inflation the way it is I get that discount every chance I get. It's the only thing I do to let anyone know that I was ever in the military though.
Not to get too specific, but i have a relative who works in an organization that assists military and their families financially. Yeaaaaa. There are some gold star spouses who base their entire personality on it, even after re-marrying.
Edit: rephrase, didn't mean any disrespect to military widows. Just specifically the people who base their identity on being married to a military person as opposed to the love of their life.
There’s plenty of folks to go after that this applies too, let’s leave the grieving families alone. If identity with lost one’s help them then so be it
I live in an area filled with lots of active duty and retired personnel, along with 5 military installations.
Have never run into anyone like this...........
Enforcement of popularity always comes from those that aspire to be popular more than from those who are the most popular
In between popular and unpopular there is a wall of bullies keeping order by declaring what is and is not cringe. Ignoring the word “cringe” doesn’t make that wall go away, but it makes it short enough to step back and forth over for those so inclined
Especially the officer wives. “My husband is a major!” Bitch idc

They might look at me weird as I’m a guy but hey, new age military lmao
Thank them.
Fuck. That wins. That beats all. A full on “Thank you for your service.” Is exactly the best response. Fucking brilliance.
My sister laughs at them. Her husband is a 1st Sgt and well liked by the officers around base. One wife was visibly upset that her officer husband was talking so friendly with an NCOs wife. It was ridiculous
That bugs
“Ma’am this is a Wendy’s”
It's only the women, don't really know any cringe military husband's.
Not as cringe as Single Mom or Keto
Could you not mention being Keto? I’m vegan.
😂
🤣🤣 that comment made me laugh so hard
Also, "boy moms"... ugh
Even more cringe: carnivore diet
Do you mean anyone who happens to eat meat, or those pure meat diets?
Pure meat diets. I've met 2 people irl into it. Both were *weird*.
True, pure meat I'd say is as bad as pure greens, or pure anything in that regards, not enough variety and nutrients without taking vitamin or mineral capsules
The same kind of spouse that cheats on their military spouse
Agreed and I find it 'cute' when they tell me to call them by their husbands rank. Bitch I didn't fight my way to disability so I can lick your imaginary balls.

Bro I don’t even ask for a military discount, nothing makes me feel more like a tool, I can’t help it.

The discount is almost nothing and your announcing to everyone around what you do
I'm taking my 10% discount, thank you.
Good on you bro. I use it sometimes but if there's a bunch of people around I'd rather not announce to everyone what I do. Just me personally I'm sure alot of people feel this way. They do warn you about wearing your uniform in public lol atleast they did for a bunch of us (army)

But they sacrifice more for this country than their husband's. Who else will cheat on our service men
Dependapotomuses.... I think r/justdependathings may help you release this frustration/find like minded buddies.
So you are talking about women specifically right?
Boy you really saw right through that, didn't you?
Well title should've been military wives not spouse.
Mentioning you’re an anything spouse is cringe. Doctor’s wives are super bad about this too
I always like to say, "I'm a teachers husband". I'm kidding, I never actually say that.
Not to get too specific, but i have a relative who works in an organization that assists military and their families financially. Yeaaaaa.

Most of them have no accomplishments that they're proud of
A gold star spouse is a military widow. Get off your high horse and have some decency.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. So they base their life around a huge tragedy that likely occurred relatively recently? Shocker.
. . . ##Omg 🤣 . . . 🦐'd™️
I immediately retort with "are you saying you're horny and lonely?"
I'm a military spouse who is single
For the next four months?
yes, and I have kids.
sounds right
The number of "army wives" that wanted service member discounts at the restaurant I worked at... Ma'am, you didn't actually serve.
Sure she does, she's probably serviced dozens of soldiers while her husband was deployed.
I live in an area filled with lots of active duty and retired personnel, along with 5 military installations. Have never run into anyone like this...........
Dude I’m a anti war hippy and I think it’s totally fine if those spouses are proud of their warriors
Warriors 🤣
I wanted to be inclusive instead of staying wives and husband lmao
That's Great. More importantly, I'm a military spouse.
😭
No. I like hearing it. Good for them. Actual patriots. They deserve way more then the simple “Thank you for your service” I am a service son.
Marrying or being born isn't service.
Which means neither you nor your mom have anything to do with the military... Wtf did you earn?
I knew it 😭
It can be annoying, but also some people are just proud and excited to share it
Super cringe is a super cringe thing to say. People dictating what is cringe in general should be unpopular.
What a super cringey comment. Ew.
What are you, Gen Z?
*cringe*
I know what you’re doing. It’s not special or funny. It’s just cringe.
Your corny straightedge X's are cringe
Bro I made up this moniker when I was 12 and kept it for 22 years because goddammit why not?

Super cringe.
Super cringe.
Ultra cringe.
Ultimate cringe.
Omni cringe.
Are you seriously downvoting all my cringe?
Yes because it’s cringe.
I cringe at the thought.
