True Story,

The mother in law was vacuuming, and the Father in law was following her around and on the third "you missed a spot" handed him the vacuum cleaner, which he declined.

She went on strike, hilarious for the whole family (both are retired, normally have meticulous cleaning standards) - the floors were filthy, clothes and dishes piled up. One time she deliberately spilt his breakfast he had made himself on his last clean shirt - world war 3 of words ensued.

Mum was enjoying the game, Dad was a bit stressed. Poor Dad finally relented a couple of days later when he appeared and said "I've got no clean jocks". After Mum called her daughters over to watch Dad vacuum the carpet in a towel, with all three of them saying "you missed a spot" the washing machine restarted.
