When her husband claimed she “does nothing around the house,” Lindsay Donnelly didn’t argue. Instead, she decided to show him exactly what happens when she actually does… nothing.
The mother-of-two took to TikTok to document her silent protest, and let’s just say, it didn’t take long for the house to look like a disaster zone.
In the now-viral video, Lindsay starts by rolling her eyes at her husband’s comment, with text overlaying the clip: “My husband made a comment that I do nothing around the house.” Her smirk quickly turns mischievous as the next caption reads: “So for two days, I really did nothing around the house.”

The camera pans to reveal the aftermath: dirty dishes piled high, clothes tossed everywhere, and toys scattered like a scene from a toddler tornado. It was the ultimate test of “What happens when Mom stops cleaning?”
But Lindsay didn’t stop there. The cherry on top? She left town for a girls’ trip, letting the chaos marinate while she enjoyed some much-deserved time away.
The TikTok, captioned “Then I left town for a girls trip” and tagged with #MarriageHumour, has racked up over 13.2 million views and 2.3 million likes. People were quick to take her side, flooding the comments with support and, frankly, some hilarious hot takes.
One viewer declared, “Me and the kids would be gone lmao divorced and all,” while another joked, “The way I would be serving divorce papers…” Others expressed their heartbreak for Lindsay, with one user commenting, “Breaks my heart beautiful strong women get treated so poorly.”
Some shared their own revenge fantasies, like dumping all the mess on his side of the bed. But not everyone could commit to the protest. “I wanna do this, but it would drive ME crazy,” confessed one commenter, while another admitted, “I tried to leave trash on the counter, but I caved after six hours.”
The video’s popularity prompted Lindsay to film a follow-up, this time featuring her husband. Sitting side by side, she revealed the TikTok to him. His reaction? An apology to the online community: “Sorry, TikTok.”
