Claims of infidelity
Farrah is an ironic character in "Wife Days." Farrah accuses her husband of unfaithfulness, and she demands some days off to go swimming. Farrah dresses to impress men and dates multiple men behind her husband's knowledge. On the contrary, it is Farrah cheating in her marriage, but she blames her husband for infidelity.
Divorce without paperwork
The divorce that takes place in "Workhouse" is sardonic. The couples avoid paperwork as a plague because they want to save time following the hectic process of a legal divorce procedure. The partners are certain that they will not live together again. However, their divorce under the law is complete with certified paperwork.
Inheritance without purpose

Instead, she leases the ranch out to people who make huge returns out of it. The reader finds it ironic that an intelligent woman like Reagan cannot devise a plan to commercialize her property to make profits.
