A woman made her other half sleep in a different bed after they clashed about vomit, of all things. Posting on Reddit, the woman explained her husband got so drunk after a BBQ he ended up vomiting in their bathroom sink. To make matters worse, he refused to clean it up because he claimed he didn't know how to. She added that while she in general deals "with all domestic house duties" and is "happy to do it" she felt that what he was doing showed "straight up disrespect". So, she banished him to their spare room. "I was super upset after him feeding me excuses of why he can clean up his own vomit, he smelt horribly of liquor and was starting to raise his voice at me when he was explaining he couldn’t clean it because he 'had to go to work to pay for all the things we want', she said. "To be clear, we have our own individual bank accounts and he doesn’t pay for any of my personal bills or recreational purchases," she added. "After his exudes of why not to clean it up, I didn’t engage or continue with the argument because when you’re sober there’s no reasoning with a drunk person, so, I had asked him to sleep on the spare room." Responding to her story, people thought she had been reasonable. "How do you live that long and not know how to clean up your own puke?" one said. "I can't stand people who drink irresponsibly," another said. "He threw up and he gets to clean it up. Not you." And a third said: "He got drunk and threw up not you. He should clean it up. Some serious red flags with this dude." What do you think? Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Thorne continued: “Is this really happening in 2023? The passengers around me were stunned as she shamed me for all to hear.” The interaction took place on Thorne’s journey from Omaha, Nebraska to Nashville, Tennessee.

Piers Morgan has been heavily mocked for his awkward pose with Luis Rubiales as the disgraced president of the Spanish FA resigned on his show. Rubiales drew strong criticism for kissing Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the celebration of the women’s team’s World Cup win last month. Despite the strong backlash, Rubiales claimed the kiss was consensual – a claim strongly refuted by Hermoso who filed a complaint with the national prosecutor’s office last week. During an appearance on Piers Morgan’s TalkTV chat show Uncensored, Rubiales finally relented to calls for his resignation, saying: “I cannot continue my work”. On X/Twitter, Morgan shared a photo of himself standing awkwardly next to the former Spanish footballer, and it has prompted some hilarious responses. Morgan wrote: “Luis Rubiales flew to London today for a 2-hour interview with me in which he announced his resignation. It’s a raw, powerful, emotional conversation about THAT kiss, and crotch grab, which have made him the world’s most infamous man.” “The way they’re standing makes them look like a Sky Sports graphic for a relegation-threatened teams strike partnership,” someone commented. Another asked: “Why does Piers look constipated?” Someone else said: “Y’know I have never been more inspired to fix my posture than after seeing this picture.” “I don't know how to fully explain this but Morgan appears to have perfected the ‘I've s**t myself’ stance,” one X/Twitter user wrote. During his interview on Morgan’s show, Rubilaes confirmed his resignation, saying: “My resignation? Yes, I’m going to, I cannot continue my work.” He added: “I love so much my daughters, and they love me so much, I’m very happy and proud of them. My father, my daughters, I spoke with them, they know it’s not a question about me. They say to me, ‘Luis, now you have to focus on your dignity and continue your life, because you will do damage to people you love.’ “When somebody is not thinking only about themself, because I had to in these few weeks, it’s not only a question of me. It can affect third parties, it’s very important, this situation now, it’s the thing I have to do.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

The Sidemen football match returned over the weekend and each one of the players involved gave their all – with some even putting their bodies on the line for the cause. In fact, MrBeast has revealed that he suffered a knock thanks to an over-exuberant tackle from iShowSpeed during the opening moments of the game. It came as YouTube supergroup The Sidemen secured their third successive win in their latest charity match on Saturday (September 9), with a final score of 8-5 against the YouTube All-Stars at the London Stadium. Sidemen FC were joined by the likes of MrBeast, real name Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, who revealed that he was suffering the day after the game from a blow to the knee. The first few minutes of the game saw iShowSpeed fly into a tackle with MrBeast, which saw him collide with the YouTuber’s knee. MrBeast was able to brush off the tackle with the 18-year-old, getting up and hobbling off the challenge before continuing. He was still suffering the next day, though. MrBeast posted a clip of the tackle on Twitter and wrote: “Not gonna lie it’s the next day and I went to stand up and my right knee was throbbing lol.” He wasn’t the only one suffering the next day, either. YouTube Allstars’ Jacksepticeye also said he was feeling the impact of the game - not because of any bad challenges, but just because of his age. “I can’t move my legs this morning,” the content creator tweeted, and after MrBeast responded “same”, he added: “At least you got tackled! I’m just old.” KSI was placed in goal to avoid an injury ahead of his match against Tommy Fury next month during the match, and unfortunately, it was Theo Baker - who had hip surgery last year - who was taken off in a stretcher after sustaining an injury in the first half-hour.

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes wasn't a fan for one umpire's excuse for a bad call that favorited the Atlanta Braves.

A mother was left stunned when her partner stopped her 13-year-old son from sitting with them in luxury economy class forcing him to sit by himself in business. The post on Reddit's notorious AITA forum posed the question to users: 'WIBTA if I left my child in economy while we flew in business class?' The woman, who said that her partner is 40-years-old, while she is just 33, said that they were organising their first holiday abroad together in five years and had settled on a location that was at least a nine-hour flight away. She wrote: "My boyfriend (40M) and I (33F) have been together for five years and are trying to organize our next holiday. He's settled on a destination and is so excited at the idea of a family trip. "We're looking at flights that will likely be at least nine hours long with business class flights, resort stays, and plenty of experiences. He makes significantly more than me but we will split the cost of the holiday 50/50 including my child's costs." However, problems arose when they began to discuss where they would sit on the flight. Although her partner was happy to pay for expensive luxury seats for them both at the front of the plane, he felt that the child should learn to be "grateful" for being treated to the holiday and could just visit them during the flight whenever he could. She added: "The problem is he does not want to let my child (13) on to the same class on the plane as us. He thinks that my child should be grateful to be getting an international trip and just enjoy the movies and whatever other amenities there are on the flight. That they can pop up and visit us whenever in business class and that it's not worth the extra cost, even if he were a millionaire." She continued: "I feel like it's weird to sit apart from my child for a 9+ hour flight, even if they're comfortable enough on a plane and I'd probably prefer to downgrade my flight if bf is unwilling to split that specific cost. He thinks I'm being weird for wanting to make that concession and it's not a big deal for child to fly alone. "So, WIBTA or am I being a helicopter and stressing over something silly?" The consensus to the post felt that she would be out of line if she did allow the child to sit by himself. One user wrote: "YWBTA if you travel in a different class from your child. Yes, a 13 year old can travel in a different class fine. Heck, they could travel alone. But there’s just something unsettling about a parent being on the same flight but in a different seat class." Another added: "Sit in economy with your son. Let your boyfriend sit in business class alone. If you start letting him exclude your son he will think it's okay and continue pushing that boundary." A third said: "'Family' trip...Sounds like your BF would rather have your kid stay at home." In an edit, the original poster added: "He has a view where children might not appreciate the value of business class and that his parents went on business class while he flew economy on his own. He absolutely wants to enjoy the business class for himself for the long haul on a nice plane. He's fine with me sitting in economy also or bumping up my child at my own cost, even though he disagrees morally and thinks I'm being kind of silly, he would accept it. He has spent plenty of money and time on my child, for birthdays, events and milestones. They get along well and have had very few upsets. Every now and then I've had to stick up for one or the other but I feel like that's to be expected with blended families."

YouTube prankster Max Fosh became an instant viral hit on Saturday when he used an Uno reversal card after receiving a booking during the Sidemen charity match. Fosh, who did score a very good goal in the sold out game at West Ham's London Stadium between Sidemen FC and the YouTube All-Stars, saw yellow on 78 minutes for a brash challenge on Simon 'Miniminter' Minter. After former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg showed Fosh the yellow card the prepared YouTuber turned the tables on the official and showed the official a green Uno reverse card, which effectively switched the decision. Does this mean that Clattenburg is the first referee to ever receive a yellow card? Regardless of whether the Uno card actually stood or not Fosh's well-timed moment soon went viral with many on X/Twitter applauding the joke. Fosh also posted the moment telling Clattenburg to "respect the meme." The match itself ended 8-5 to the Sidemen and drew 60,000 fans to the London Stadium and raised more than £2 million for charity. The stream of the match also smashed YouTube records. According to MrBeast, who played in the match, at one point had 2,700,000 concurrent viewers making it the most viewed live sporting event in YouTube history, as per Dexterto.
