When the whole society was advocating energy conservation, a company decided that employees were prohibited from taking the elevator when they went downstairs because the floor was not particularly high.
But some unconscious people still take the elevator as before.
Therefore, the company let the managers of various departments take turns to secretly monitor the hidden places on the first floor at different times, and once they find such unconscious people, they will give warnings.
One of the managers also went to monitor on time.
I don't know if it was lucky or unfortunate, but when he was on duty, no one went downstairs. As he himself watched, he felt more and more that he was doing something stupid that could not be more stupid.
"I'm all department managers, I don't work to hide in the corner and spy on others!" And my wife always thinks that what I do in the company is what I like, and she doesn't know that I am forced to do such a stupid thing for that little salary! ”
The manager went home and told his wife about it.
At first, his wife listened to him with a very surprised expression, but it didn't take long for her to laugh: "Japanese companies are really rich, doing such boring work, and paying you such a high salary." ”
The daughter laughed when she heard this, and said: "Men can talk big, and it turns out that they can pass the time so easily in the company." ”
Mr. Manager did not say any more, just smiled bitterly and said "yes", and casually perfunctory, but he thought to himself: Women are animals that really don't understand men's moods.

Such small things accumulate, and there will be a gap between husband and wife, thinking that the other party does not understand themselves at all.
The loan must be paid off as quickly as possible, and the child must go to college – and when the couple has a goal to work with, it seems that they can work together.
In this case, if you are happy, you may not find that the other half who has worked hard to support yourself is tired and almost crying.
When the goal is achieved, when the two people relax and face each other, they will suddenly find that they do not understand each other at all, so they have come all the way in such a vague way.
The reason why couples who have always had a good relationship in the past suddenly have a gap after middle age, and even topics such as divorce are on the table, often because their relationship has approached the valley of misunderstanding from collaboration.
At this time, it is difficult for men and women to understand each other.
If you take the cooperative relationship as an understanding, then one day you will suddenly find that the other party has become a person who does not understand the reason, or suspect that the past cooperation is an illusion, and the truth is not.
It is really difficult for men and women to find it really difficult to understand each other, usually from the middle age.
If it is clear how difficult this mutual understanding is, there will be no anger or disappointment at the slightest lack of understanding.
