This teenager doesn't want to help his dad with chores anymore after the way his dad spoke to him.

When you're 17 years old, you're so close to being an adult, but you aren't quite there yet. People still get to treat you like a kid, whether you like it or not. That's why commenters are divided on this guy's story about a rainy-day chore gone wrong, with some blaming the teenage OP, and others blaming his father.

This story is about what happens when you dry clothing outside without accounting for the weather. Because under most circumstances, using a clothesline is a great idea! It gives your sheets or clothing that fresh outdoorsy scent. You just have to be careful you don't drop the laundry on the ground, and of course, keep an eye out for rain and strong winds. Otherwise you'll wind up like OP's dad, who got stuck with a bunch of soggy clothes. Plus, as an added punishment, OP writes that their dad had trouble drying his clothes, since it was the rainy season where they live. Some commenters scolded OP for this, while others said he was justified in his malicious compliance.

Check out this entire story below — OP commented numerous times to provide more information and help commenters form their opinions. After that, check out these mildly infuriating moments — like one dude whose bank got overdrawn by $99 billion dollars.
