A man has sparked furious arguments after revealing that his wife gets jealous when he tips waitresses more than $10.
An unnamed man recorded it Reddit only to reveal that his spouse would get mad after he tipped the double digits while they went out to dinner.
He claimed that her behavior made him “not want to take her anymore,” adding that she often became “passive aggressive” towards him.
However, the social media platform’s users were divided, with many of them noting that he was wrong in taking his wife to Hooters and other restaurants and tipping the servers double than usual, despite knowing that doing so would make her felt insecure.

An unnamed man took to Reddit to reveal that his wife would get mad after he entered the double digits while they went out to dinner
In the post, he explained that he was a server as a teenager, so he understands how difficult the job can be.
The message read, “I was a server when I was a teenager and I never got tips more than a few dollars. I understand how exhausting and exhausting being a server can be, so I do my best to tip more, especially when there is excellent service
He said there have been a few times when he almost doubted the amount of the bills, which made his wife jealous.
“A few times when I tipped an extraordinary amount, my wife got jealous. One time I tipped $70 on a $120 bill and my wife got really jealous because the waitress was beautiful and she wrote “thank you so much” with a heart on it,” he said.
He then noted that after the couple left, his wife started berating the waitresses, saying, “She’s not worth that amount of tip and I should have given her a dollar because that’s what she looks like.”
He added that he left a 200 percent tip on a Hooters bill another time.
Another time I gave double the meal, so $40 on a $20 bill, and my wife got mad and confronted the waitress. This one was at Hooters, so my wife felt insecure.
“When I tipped her, she touched my shoulders and said, ‘Wow, thanks!’ And then my wife said, “Don’t touch it, you see this ring on my finger, that’s my husband asshole” and the waitress apologized,’ he added.
At the end of the post, he claimed that he no longer wanted to be with his wife because of her behavior.
Many viewers on the platform were shocked by his story and accused him of making his wife insecure
He said, “These were two extreme times she acted like this, the other times she was just passive aggressive towards me. Because of her behavior I don’t want to take her anymore.’
Many viewers on the platform were shocked by his story and accused him of making his wife insecure.
One person said, “I bet this guy didn’t give a second thought to asking his wife about the tip amount. It’s also her money.
The details of the story also show that he gives the tips directly to the servers. He likes the attention of the attractive women in front of his wife. Back in the days of cash it wasn’t uncommon to say “keep the change” and the server would know their tip. But these days, the credit card servers rarely, if ever, see the tip amount until after the customer has left.”
Another person said, “Bro, why bring your hyper-jealous wife to Hooters. Didn’t you see that coming? LOL.’
Someone else wrote, “Your inconsistency with them is the problem, so it looks like you’re screwing them up.” If you tipped everyone like that all the time, I’m sure she wouldn’t be so jealous.’
Others, however, dismissed his wife for being “possessive” and “abusive.”
“Bro, you know what you did,” someone said.
Someone else said, “If you know your wife is insecure, why the hell would you go to Hooters?”
“What do you do to make your wife so insecure (outside of the restaurant-tip setting)?” questioned a person.
“Okay maybe don’t go to hooters if you know your wife is going to act like this,” said one person.
Others, however, faulted his wife for being “possessive” and “abusive.”
One person said, “Your wife sucks.”
Another user commented, “Dump your wife.”
“Sounds like your wife is a little possessive,” someone else wrote.
“Your wife is insecure and rude,” someone else said.
“I think you both need help,” said another user.
