Sorry, that was a very personal reference to a neighbor of mine. He does it all the time, so she'll do stuff like make dinner and then he just doesn't come home. When she texts him to find out if he's working late, he'll be like "I had to fly to Montana for work."

He's the most stereotypical stubborn Republican that I can imagine. He considers himself a libertarian because he doesn't want to pay taxes for pesky things like roads and schools. But he also has very strong feelings that women shouldn't be able to get abortions, which shouldn't really jive with the small government thing. He's a solid red voter down ballot every election.

This reminds me of a coworker I had who used to call the Department of natural resources and try to convince the poor clerk that he shouldn't have to pay for a fishing license for him and his wife because gay people have the right to get married. I still don't understand the logic on that but that's what I overheard.

He then went on to attempt to abduct the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.

Well that certainly took an abrupt, if not entirely unexpected, turn.

Trust me, it did for everyone that worked with the guy.
