Imagine your own husband sending you a bill for cleaning your shared home! This is precisely what happened when Marc Hatch from South Yorkshire, England decided to have a bit of fun by invoicing his wife after a busy day of tidying up.
Marc, who runs his own cleaning business, playfully sent his wife, Jasmine, an invoice for $800 after spending six hours sprucing up their house. The motive? Just a bit of harmless mischief that seems to have stirred quite a bit of online chatter.
In an amusing twist, Marc shared their exchange, capturing Jasmine’s reaction to what she thought was a serious invoice! It turns out, this joke is part of their friendly banter.
Marc’s message read: “Hi Jasmine, Please find below your payment link following yesterday’s clean. Please click the link and select your preferred payment method. Thank you for your business.” Her response? A classic: “Get a grip we’re married with 3 kids.”
Clearly, Marc wasn’t really expecting Jasmine to pony up the cash. As the post grew popular, with hundreds commenting, Marc clarified that this kind of joking is commonplace in their home.
“It was definitely a tiresome half day of work. I like reminding her of the effort it took because, in reality, she got a great deal!” Marc chuckled. He admitted that such a thorough cleaning happens every six months, while he routinely tackles the sofa more often.
Marc’s antics aim to bring joy and laughter, not just to Jasmine but to anyone who reads his stories. He shared, “Seeing someone’s face light up with a smile that you’ve created is a wonderful feeling.”
After taking the internet by storm, Jasmine, who works as a mental health nurse, chimed in to share her perspective. “When I first saw his message, I just thought ‘That’s typical Marc for you.’ He usually jokes around, acting like he’s babysitting when he’s with the kids, and I quickly remind him they are indeed his children too!”
She cheekily added, “There’s always a bit of back and forth. I’ve threatened to bill him for the endless tasks I handle, like childcare, cooking, cleaning, and gift planning. Needless to say, he won’t be seeing that $800. I’m just waiting for the right time to spring my response on him.”
