Redditor u/linpa-qnzia was shocked to learn that his wife had been leaving their infant son alone in an unlocked car. He describes that the practice became known to him when the couple stopped for food and his wife remarked that they didn't need to go through the drive-through as "It's not a big deal to leave the baby in the car to run in and pick [the food] up really fast." When he pressed further, she told him that "she's been doing it since he was born, and it's always been fine."

U/linpa-qnzia was gob-smacked by this. Something that was utterly outrageous and obscene behavior to him seemed to be completely normal behavior as far as his wife was concerned. After some discussion, she seemed to come around and told u/linpa-qnzia that she would stop doing it.

Lo and behold, as he was driving home the next day, he saw his wife's car at the gas station and decided to stop and say hi. When he did, he realized that his son was in the car and his wife was nowhere in sight. That's when he decided that it was time to show his wife the risk she was putting their son in.
