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

    I would thank them for their service.

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

    They're into submitting to authority, bootlicking, etc...

    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.

    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.

    I'm too dumb to understand it. Please explain.

    Do Americans do the "Tide box in the window" thing?

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