The photo below may not seem very interesting at first glance, but the story behind it definitely is. That little round gadget is apparently a card scanner installed by a Chinese wife to make sure that her husband doesn’t come home later than 9 pm.

When their husbands don’t come straight home after work, some women start calling them every 10 minutes asking where they are, others text them insistently until they’ve had enough and come home, or tease them with a photo of a delicious dinner. But one Chinese wife decided to think outside the box and came up with a very practical solution – installing a card reader at the entrance of her home, which her husband must use every time he walks through the door.

Wechat user ‘EmmaYi’ discovered the time-monitoring gadget at a female friend’s home and wrote about it online. In her post, her friend explained that the machine was set up to help her “manage” her husband who always worked late nights at an internet company.

If her husband comes home earlier and have dinner with the wife, he will be spared from washing the dishes. Buttt… if he’s 30 minutes or part thereof late, he’ll be fined for 100Yuan (RM62). And if he crossed the 30-minute mark, then he’ll have to do house chores for 1 day on the weekend.
The wife even told her friend that:
“If the punch card machine can manage my husband’s working hours in the office, then it should work just fine for his non-working hours.”
After the implementation of this system, the situation has improved a lot. And their marriage has significant improvement as well, according to the wife. I’ll only believe this if I personally hear it from the husband.
After this news went viral on social media, many netizens were shocked by the curfew system posed by the supreme wife.
“His wife must work in HR,” Weibo user @LiuLInchuan wrote.
“This is too much! You’re stripping away his freedom!” another netizen said.
“Hey honey, maybe I should consider implementing this at our home too? :P” another netizen commented.
I’m not supporting the husband, but a punch card machine at home? Isn’t it too much?
