What is the most ridiculous question you been asked? Thanks for the AMA.

Even if everything went to a 4 day week, they'd handle it the same way they handle the 5 day week now. It's not like everything is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Okay but a lot of things are closed on the weekend, especially a lot of essential stuff. I know that if I need maintenance then the maintenance guys come 8-5 M-F unless the place is burning down, same time I work. A few of my doctors take appointments M-F 8-5 only, so I take off work to go to doctor's appointments. Some governmental offices I need to deal with same thing or they might be open just a few hours on the weekend where lines are very long because everyone is trying to go at that time. Also a lot of shops, mainly local ones, are open M-F 8-5 or even less, I've never gone to them. I also occasionally have to spend work days on hold dealing with certain services because their call hours are similar so I'm basically not even working then anyways.

The 5 days work week seemed to have assumed you had a home taker to take care of all those things and go grocery shopping or to the post office and run all those errands not to mention all the chores and the cooking. Well there are still some households like that, many people both work or live alone and work. It's a pain in the ass to having to keep taking off work, or sneaking off of work, to get shit done when if I had just one day where I could do this shit it would make everything less stressful. And it would probably be less stressful to service and retail workers as well since the weekend rush might even out a bit.
