I’m Sophie, and I’ve got a story about my husband Clark, a workaholic who thinks his job is everything. Last month, we were supposed to relax and bond with his family over the holidays, and Clark volunteered to book our flights. I thought it would be a smooth process, but boy, was I wrong.
When we got to the airport, I found out Clark had upgraded himself and his mom to first class, leaving me stuck in economy with the kids. He shrugged it off, saying, “It’s just a few hours.” I was furious, but I had a plan for revenge. As we boarded, I secretly swiped his wallet and tucked it into my bag, knowing it would come in handy later.
During the flight, I watched as Clark and his mom enjoyed their fancy meals and champagne, while I was stuck with the snack cart. Clark soon realized his wallet was missing, and his panic was priceless. He had to come down to economy to ask me for cash, and I played it up, offering him a fraction of what he needed. To make it worse, I suggested he ask his mom for help.
The rest of the flight was awkward, with Clark and his mom in silence while I enjoyed my little victory. When we landed, I kept the wallet hidden, planning to treat myself with his card before returning it. Lesson learned: a little creative justice goes a long way, especially when you’re left behind for first class!
