Local Man Regrets Retirement After Loading Dishwasher Wrong, Again!
BAY VILLAGE, Ohio — A newly retired local resident who identified himself only as “Not Fred” has begun having second thoughts about leaving the workforce, citing a series of domestic shortcomings that became apparent only after he started spending more time at home.
The trouble began, Not Fred said, when he loaded the dishwasher incorrectly. “Who knew I had so many shortcomings?” he remarked during an interview in his newly finished basement man-cave. “After retiring and spending so much time with my wife, I never realized what a horrible person I am.”
Not Fred’s wife, who agreed to be identified only as Karen, initially consented to participate in the discussion. The interview ended abruptly, however, when Not Fred neglected to place a coaster under his glass.
“You disgust me,” Karen said before departing to attend another “No Kings Rally.”
Not Fred remained in the man-cave after her exit. He declined to elaborate further on his dishwasher technique or any other household failures.
