'When he'd get a business call...he'd follow me around the house': Woman gets revenge on spouse's annoying habit by flushing a toilet in a hiring manager's ear

Working from home has its perks. But you know how irritating it can get if you've ever tried to do it with other people in the house (like during the pandemic). My partner loves to come into my office and strike up a conversation whenever I'm in the groove. Which I enjoy, most times, except for when I'm running behind and have a lot to get done. So, the couple in the story both work from home, and her spouse has developed the annoying habit of following her around the house whenever he's on a business call. It started off innocent, with him claiming that her office had the best cell reception. So, she decided that whenever he came in, she'd get up and do a quick chore around the house. She soon realized that it wasn't just her office he was migrating to. It was everywhere she went. She tried to call him out on it, but he was always quick to deny it. According to the comments on this thread, Redditors think he might've genuinely didn't realize, as a lot of them have similar habits. Nonetheless, the OP was fed up and gave in to her intrusive thoughts with this petty revenge.
