Heated argument at laundromat over slow folding of clothes
A self-service laundry visit turned into a heated encounter when a woman took her own sweet time folding clothes directly in front of a dryer, frustrating another customer who had been waiting to use it.
In a Threads post, @makcikbibah_antivaxx shared a video showing the woman folding her freshly dried clothes slowly, blocking access to the machine.
The situation escalated as another woman, waiting her turn, lost patience.
Visibly annoyed, the woman who had been waiting began filming and confronted the other, asking why she was still occupying the space in front of the dryer.
'What's your problem now? Who folds clothes in front of the machine? I have a pile of clothes to dry,' she said in the video.
The woman responded that the other customer could use a smaller, available dryer instead.
However, the frustrated woman insisted on using the 20kg-capacity dryer being blocked, as she had more clothes to dry.
She also pointed out that large empty tables were available nearby for folding, and urged the woman not to inconvenience others.
The video quickly gained traction online, with many netizens expressing support for the woman who had been waiting, and frustration toward the one blocking the dryer.
'It's embarrassing to see this kind of behaviour. Does she think she owns the dryer just because she spent RM10 on tokens? It's so uncivilised,' commented @angie.annabelle.

Living with parents isn't always cost-free, say netizens
WHILE many working adults in Malaysia choose to live with their parents, there is a common assumption that these adults' parents shoulder most of the household expenses. A post on Threads recently sparked backlash from netizens after a Malaysian man claimed that individuals who live with their parents contribute very little, assuming that their parents pay for everything. 'They can claim RM3,000 is not enough to sustain their lifestyle. Where does that money go? (Online shopping)? Matcha lattes?' the post read. Netizens criticised the man for his remarks, pointing out that in many cases, parents do not cover the majority of household expenses once their children begin working. The post sparked a discussion about how much working adults actually contribute financially, despite their seemingly 'convenient' living arrangements. 'Do you think we're just lazing around because we live with our parents? Who do you think is handling the household expenses? We live with them out of responsibility,' one user commented. 'I stay with my parents and am left with only RM700 per month to survive. Don't assume that those living with their parents have no commitments — sometimes, we have even more on our plate,' another user added. Some, however, agreed with the original poster's perspective, sharing that they experienced little financial stress while living with their parents, and only realised the challenges of financial independence after moving out.

'Am I bad for keeping it a secret?' - 29-year-old hides RM100k savings from wife who likes to waste money
Would you tell your big-spending spouse about your secret savings? A 29-year-old Malaysian man has sparked a lively debate online after admitting he has secretly saved over RM100,000 without his wife's knowledge. In an anonymous post on Threads, the man explained that he has been quietly building an emergency fund over the past two years of marriage, describing his wife as someone who 'likes to waste money.' 'Mein, M29, my savings money is already RM100K++. Am I bad for keeping this a secret from my wife for two years?' he wrote. 'Because I don't like it that later when she knows, she will ask for all sorts of things and waste money.' He added that he provides his wife with a monthly allowance and keeps their lifestyle simple, while setting aside money in case of emergencies. 'So usually I give her an allowance, we live simply, and save money. I plan to use the savings only for emergencies.' The confession has since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions. Many netizens sided with the man, praising his financial foresight and agreeing that it's wise to have a safety net—especially when one partner tends to overspend. 'It's okay to keep it a secret, to be honest. He knows his wife tends to spend unnecessarily. Usually, guys who are good at saving money also know how to manage their finances—as long as they're also sharing the family commitments 50/50 and not hoarding all the savings for themselves,' commented hey_serahhh. However, others were less sympathetic, arguing that secrecy around finances could damage trust in a marriage. 'My opinion is that as husband and wife, you shouldn't be hiding anything from each other—especially when it comes to money and matters of sustenance. Even if your wife asks you to buy things, you can still manage it. You don't have to give in to everything. Don't you think that maybe you were able to save that much because you've been blessed through your wife's sustenance too? You're not a bad person, bro, but if it were me, I'd feel hurt if my husband kept something like this from me. Just my opinion, okay,' said sangsemol.
