What's this?

A few months ago I was out to dinner w/another couple. The husband's mom

is getting up there and in a home. He calls her every night at 7pm, this night was no different. 7 came around and he got up to go call and check-in. The wife turned into a raging b-tch after he left. "He does this every night, it's so annoying. We could be watching Netflix and I'll have to pause so he can go call his mom. Ugh" Agreed, what a sack of sh-t this guy is for interrupting your Emily in Paris viewing to check in on his ailing mother. Having just lost my dad a few months prior to this it really pissed me off. Well, it would've pissed me off regardless but being that I can't call my dad anymore I extra pissed.
