Check out this blog.

At first I thought there is no way this is real. Then I thought, oh no - this guy flies. Then I thought dear god I'm not getting on Delta.
 
Generally (and that's generally speaking, not saying all are like that) I've found people with such bite are quick to dish out snide comments and humor at others' expense, but get angry and defensive when the tables are turned.
 
I have known them both for nearly 15 years, Werked with her hubby before I retired.She was a FA for a major airline before she got tired of the BS. She can take it as well as dish it out. They are both good people. He thinks her blog is funny. He loves it.
 
Yeah I was going to say it seems very satirical. From the name of the blog to the demeanor it falls too far into stereotype territory to be a real "bitter man-hater" venting tool.

I thought this was pretty funny

Once upon a time, when Pilot Husband was flying for a small commuter airline, he had been working particularly hard. For two weeks, he had done back to back three day trips, taking his 24 in 7 off and hitting it again. Finally, on week three, he arrived home, spent and exhausted. Exactly 8+30 later (FAA rest requirements) the phone rang. It was crew scheduling for Pilot Husband, wanting to assign him a trip. Realizing that he was hitting the wall, and had enough, I decided to intervene on his behalf.

The following is a transcript of that call, as best I can remember it:

Scheduling: Hello. This is Crew Scheduling for ***** ********.
AngryPilotWife: Hi. This is Mrs. *******, can I help you?
Scheduling: Is ***** there? We have a trip for him.
AngryPilotWife: What do you mean, you have a trip for him? He packed his suitcase and left this morning.
Scheduling: ........
AngryPilotWife: He told me he was leaving on a three day. Are you telling me he's NOT on a three day?
Scheduling: Um..... ahhh .... well ....
AngryPilotWife: If that S.O.B. is NOT on a trip, than why is he not at home???? Where the Hell is he?!
Scheduling: ..... ahhh ..... well ..... um ....
AngryPilotWife: I tell you what, if you see him before I do, please let him know that all of his stuff will be in trash bags on the front lawn! And I am changing the door locks!
Scheduling: ... oh, um... wait a minute... ooops. Sorry Mrs. *******. It must have been a computer glitch. Here he is. Yes.... um, we have him on a trip right now.... um.... so sorry to bother you. We'll fix it in our system and we won't bother you again.
AngryPilotWife: Are you sure? Because if he's been lying to...
Scheduling: No! No! No! Mrs. ******, I can assure you, he is definitely on a trip for us right now. Again, I am so sorry to bother you. Have a good day Ma'am. (click).

At first I thought she was kinda serious, but why would she put up with all this and make a blog about how much she hates her husband. I realize lawyers cost a lot and divorce can be a hassle, but really? Also, this guy sounds like a slob if it's for real.

I think she's just poking fun at the difficult lifestyle. Some people's venting is through humor.
 
How to dress like a pilot

Step Two... Remember, black socks are not just for work anymore. They go with everything! Wear your black dress socks with shorts and sandals. Wear them with jeans and white sneakers. Wear them with pajamas if your feet get cold. If it's good enough for the airline, it's good enough for every day.
 
You know, the frustration is hilarious because I know the "type" of person she's complaining about. However, what was going wrong in her world for her to think "Yeah, this black sock-wearing, conspiracy theorist who's forehead gets tight when he thinks about Barack Hussein Obama, ooh, I want to be your forever girl!"

Of course spouses can probably write a hilarious paragraph or two about things that drive each other nuts, but man, this is turning into a novel! :)
