No, they tend to be crazy, entitled cunts actually. They ask for military discounts and are convinced their husbandâs rank and service somehow extends to them and that makes them worthy of hallowed respect while treating any service work like absolute garbage.
Once again, this is my experience, and Iâll admit itâs 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. Thereâs very rarely a pleasant reason to mention your partnerâs occupation to a service worker, so anyone whoâs going to be normal slips under the radar.

I met way more dickhead husbandâs than entitled wives while I was in. Like anything thereâs 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 canât remember the name though. It wasnât r/justbootthings but something similar dedicated just to girlfriends/wives.
