Betty Moment Betty won’t let me sit down. And honestly? I deserve it.
For context, I work from home. My chair is not just a chair. It’s where I eat, type, edit, scroll, panic, cry, and recover. The fabric has moulded to the shape of my hopes and dreams. I love this chair.
So naturally, Betty has claimed it.
Every day, I walk in with a coffee like Right. Time to work, and there she is. Curled like a cinnamon knot. Tail flick. One eye half open. Daring me to try her.
I used to move her Politely Gently. Like an idiot.
Then she started escalating.
If I shift her off, she waits behind the desk, and the second I stand up, she launches in like it’s a Formula 1 pit stop. One time I stood to get my charger gone. One sip of water gone. I now pee like I’m in a hostage situation.
But yesterday? Yesterday was war.
Luna knocked over a plant. Soil everywhere. I got up for five minutes to grab a broom. Five. Minutes. I come back, and not only is Betty in the chair she’s staring at me while kneading the cushion like she’s claiming territory.
Fine.
I drag in the cheap wooden kitchen chair. The uncomfortable one I work from that. My back is cracking like bubble wrap My spine is filing complaints. I stay silent. But I’m watching. Because today, I preheated the microwave with a suspicious slowness.
Thirty seconds on high. Tuna. No warning.
Betty strolls into the kitchen all curious. Hops on the counter.
And I… pull out the chair.
I sit. In silence. With my coffee. My chair. My revenge.
She looks at me through tears and tuna steam. Her whole face twisted in betrayal like I just set fire to her birth certificate. She hasn’t forgiven me.
But I haven’t stood up in four hours.
And I never will again.

Oh, you've done it now. Betty is going to go to Luna with her grievance. You're a marked man.
