NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — Tensions rose between a local couple today after a woman texted her husband to ask him to pick up a mobile Target order for her on his way home from work, to which he replied "Ok." Reports indicated she was not at all happy with the tone of his "Ok" response.
"What on earth is that supposed to mean?" said Monique Johnson who had put in an order for dishwashing soap and Reese's Peanut Butter Easter Eggs and set the pickup time to coincide with her husband, Derek, getting off of work. "I thought I could make it easier for both of us. He could just stop by Target on his way home. That way, I wouldn't have to get out of the house with the kids. And do you know what he did when I texted him to let him know? He said ‘Ok.' Yeah. Just like that. ‘Ok.' Can you believe that?!"
By all indications, Derek was completely fine agreeing to the request and had absolutely no idea that responding with "Ok" would cause any issue whatsoever. "Yeah, not a problem at all!" Derek said as he typed the "Ok" text on his phone. "I'm happy to pick up the stuff for her. I love doing things for my wife!"
At publishing time, Derek had already made the pickup and was on his way home, though he would reportedly soon regret not also picking up a bouquet of flowers to make up for the audacity he showed by replying to his wife's text with "Ok."

I always thought “Fine!” was the one that got you in trouble.
This hits very close to home. How many of us have responded to requests like this with an OK, which as I understand it is racist as well.
I’m pretty sure it’s “whatever”
The one that gets me in trouble is "whatever."
It’s a crazy world.
My teen age grandniece asked me if I was mad at her because I used a period in a text. It seems amongst teens, periods, commas etc mean one is angry.
OK????
There's definitely some white privilege showing there with that OK buddy, you'd better check that!
Oh that's the Death Penalty, right there.
My wife hates “no problem.”
Whatever actually means “FU.”. She just whatevered you!
“Just relax” is what gets me in trouble most often.
And then there’s “Bless Your Heart”.
No worse than the wife’s “everything’s fine” retort.
DO NOT marry a woman who behaves that way.
Regarding #2 in particular: DO NOT accept that as an answer.
Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything else is of the devil.
I learned a long time ago not to text "OK" to my wife. She gets very disturbed by that response and thinks that I'm mad at her. In response to picking up something on the way home, it is necessary for me to respond along the lines of "Yes, love of my life, I will happily get that for you. Is there anything else you would like for me to pick up for your while I'm still out and about? I can't wait to see you when I get home!"
