All Comments on 'Martha My Dear'

Jeez, people, get a grip. It's a fucking satirical story, not a technical manual. Dipsticks.

Wouldn't happen.

First the phone has to be paired to the car and then the car can only be paired to one device at a time, but worst of all when the car and phone are paired and connected the car takes over the functionality of the phone, so you can neither use the phone to speak nor listen to calls with.

However, if she'd been on the call and was in range of the car and her phone automatically paired what would have happened is that the occupants of the car would have heard the callers side of the conversation, or as much of until the caller realised he was getting no response. While the wife would have thought she'd been disconnected, forcing her to examine the phone and realise what had happened.

All quite irrelevant as the hubby was in the car on a conference call, thus he was the one paired to the car and she was not, so it didn't happen

Ouch!! DAMN all that new-fangled digital fancy-dancy stuff anyway. It’s not good for anything but causing trouble. That and some pretty good stories on Literotica. Thanks, HDK, that was short, sweet, and straight to the point. And the point was the end of a marriage. Pretty sure. 5 stars. Thanks again, HDK.

BOOM! Welcome to the 21st Century. Nice work. Thank you.

Ooh perfect short story. Brilliantly written and thoroughly enjoyable. With a great burn at the end. They fucked themselves literally lol. BardnotBard

FTDS!

4 Stars as it was a Prius . I have ridden in one Prius and that was enough for me . My next door neighbor gives his Prius rave reviews about the Gas Mileage . I have an Old Stang and an Old Camaro with a 396 that has been Balanced blue printed and bored . So it is basically a 427 on Steroids . It puts out north of 600 horsepower . The Mustang will be getting a gen 2 5 .0 engine .

Ouch! I’ll bet that was painful for someone. Thanks, HDK, very nice little short one.

What is there to bitch about in this one ? .Geez, it was a short story about a couple of dumb asses getting too cocky. Nice.

The Prius deserves better. Hope the daughter gets it after the divorce.

Stupid ending my gawd finish the story

Ouch!! Bitten in the ass by 21st century technology.

Thanks, HDK, another great one.

5 stars

A funny snippet. Even for a short, non-story, I think five stars is in order..

JPB

Funny and a good story.

Oh, Gee Whiz. How great life is. I've rolled on the floor laughing at this story. You gotta love trchnology.

Haha

A neighbor of mine got in trouble this way. He had fiancée No. 1 in the car when he parked and got out to check his mailbox. He then got a call from fiancée No. 2. When he tried to answer the call, it answered on the car speaker via Bluetooth and the fiancées were speaking to each other. He had some 'splashing to do and, eventually, fewer fiancées.

Great one

Funny ! A great, short little slice of life. Well wtitten and to the point.

5-😊😊😊😊😊

Isn't technology wonderful? Good old bluetooth has not worked for me all the time but for this story it is great!

Too short - can’t give it a 5

If it's connected to the cars Bluetooth how is she hearing Bill? He could hear her be his responses would be to the car audio

HDK at his comical best! 5 stars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

C'mon it was a fun one. Will the bluetooth bit might have been off this is LW, if the fucking husband was a Navy Seal, with CIA connections and a Golden ticket from the President of the United States, and several other countries and he blew Bill up with a drone strike, you'd be wetting yourselves with glee.

I found myself hating her so much early in the story that the ending only illuminated everything. She was truly an unlikable human being. Good to be rid of her.

I don’t think if one is connected from a blue toooth…conversation can happen in the normal manner if the phone is with you. No sound will come from the phone as the sound wil be relayed from the Bluetooth speakers!! This story seems too out of touch withbreality

Great little story, every cheater should be wary of modern technology.

A very possible scenario. A few weeks ago I was going to take my wife’s vehicle to gas it up for her because she was taking a short trip the next day. I kissed my wife goodby and told her I would be back in a few minutes. I walked through the door and into the garage, started the car and started to back out of the garage when the Blue Tooth kicked in and I was suddenly overhearing a telephone conversation that my wife had just made. I just sat there and listened, I won’t go into detail of what I over heard, but I can assure you her call was very enlightening !

Ooops

LOL

Needs a follow on chapter.

Karma is a bitch :)

that's what you get for driving a Prius . I think I can see the future on this marriage and it ends in Divorce Court

If you can't ejaculate then you might as well not masturbate.

Funny stuff. Wish it had a more detailed ending

Nice start of a story

The exact same thing happen to me. My wife was sitting in the patio next to our garage talking on her phone. I was backing her car out of the garage to go and get the oil changed. When the blue tooth system kicked in on her car over the speakers. I just sat there acting as though I was looking for some papers in the glove box, all the while she just kept on talking. Obvious to the fact I was hearing both sides of the conversation. Technology is great, but sometimes it’s AWFUL.

This is one I wish kept going it was a wonderful ultra short but the probable reactions all round would be epic.

Good concept but the ending is short

bluetooth phones can't support both using the phone and the car at the same time, but that's techie details and not part of HDN's world.

Very clever. Be careful. Eyes and ears are everywhere.

Wife is just another Narcissistic bitch, that thinks the world revolves around her. Most of the time, they never achieve real happiness. Another 40 something woman, enters the divorce pool...

Jeez, what technology can do. She sure got the surprise of her life.

Nice

Just one thing to say. Fucking cunt.

Pretty funny but I have to ask, who the fuck is Joan?

Have to agree... Fucking hilarious.

Sex is like Football .. It is a Contact sport

Fucking hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

Read it through once, went back to the top and read it again, Laughing all the way!

I'm new to these reviews. But, this looks like a great one. Funny. Good beginning, middle buildup. and end.

Thanks for writing it.

Wooooooooooooops!

Really great short story. Reed, you’re beginning to sound like Lue making the same lame comment on every story. Some people just don’t accept cheating.

She’s just spreading the love around, is all.

Lol. Too funny

Lol!!!

Ouch, oops!

And I remenber it happen !!

But in my story the husband was cheating !!

Just absolutely FUCKING-A-GREAT!!!! Thank you so much for the nice rolling on the ground laugh, I needed that this morning to kick start the day. LOL

Great convo

Got to love technology. Every time my wife gets in the car, and I'm in the living room, I get a notification how far it is to where ever she's going - stops by the time she's at the end fo the driveway.

Terrific! Just great!

Jedd Clampett (carvohi)

Loved it!

I had heard that HDK liked to fish and baited a good hook, but I was unaware he was a master at it. :) Anyway, great read, HDK. I'll mention you in my next missive. LOL!

Where is the rest?.

Gotta watch technology! especially if you have secrets and a loose tongue!

I am divorced because my wife's family heard a conversation I had with a female neighbor. We flirted but there was nothing really going on at that time. But since my wife and I are now separated, I can no longer say that her neighbor and I are just flirting. Thank you Blue Tooth.

Hey PiperHamlit! Kinda draggin the bottom with your self promotion.

For the read.

Martha My Love

"Silly girl....be true to me."

Yes, she should have.

BUSTED!!!!

Great story and 5 stars.

For any "bluetooth doesn't work that way!" comments and sure enough...

It did work that way for me and my wife once (a very banal call) that I heard both sides of her conversation with her female coworker.

I used that in a story, also. :-)

That's high praise. 5 stars.

You've been posting on this story for 15 years now. Fuck. An actual fucking legend.

Gotta love high tech.

has only to read this little gem. 750 words is (are?) no sweat for an author who has already known just how much he needs to tell us, and doesn't bother with all the excess context. He's clear, funny (always), and to the point.

Beautifully done! And I especially like how Martha's name momentarily becomes "Joan". (Presumably everyone knows her as Nancy...)

Hard to keep anything secret any more, a different surprise a week early, nice. Good job Sue was on the line, too, saves another awkward phone call. 5*

I liked the story and gave it good marks even though I've never seen Bluetooth work that way: when my (or my wife's) car grabs the call, the phone is cut out so she'd have known.

Still, an amusing story.

This is why I hate high tech stuff.

built-up; short stories are HDK's strength; typical HDK terse, blunt-talking characters; no unnecessary psychobabble and recriminations and self-flagellation on the wife's part. I actually kind of feel sorry for the girl getting caught. She must have been one happy soul before getting caught. Sad, but good story this.

Normally, he does it in two pages, but 750 is enough. Nicely done. The new technology can be a bitch right. :>)

Excellent

Your usual mastery of the craft. More fun per word than anyone I know. Thanks, Randi.

well done

i love when rhere are consequences for cheaters

5 stars and 100 hard ons

Bluetooth features on newer cars do work exactly as they did in this story--a well-written, concise story from one of the masters.

Very diabolical! I enjoyed it immensely.

AIn't technology a bitch? This was vintage HDK but not on the funny side. But letting your kid, your husband and the wife of the man you're fucking know that you're cheating, all at one time, is quite the achievement. But my favorite line? "Gonna see a man about a horse"! I'm STILL laughing at that one. Well done.

Great story and to convey so much in 750 words or less is stellar writing!

Another great story by one of the.masters. Enjoyed it very.much.

Shafted by her lover and then shafted by technology.

Another fun read from my favorite Beatle Fan.

Ha, love that new car now bitch? LMAO, Five Stars!

Ain't technology grand!

Don’t think Bluetooth works that way. Know it doesn’t on our cars. It gives us the option of one, or the other ... not both. Aside from that quibble (and I believe BT COULD be made to happen that way) it was a delightful quicky.

Sweetie seems to NOT be smart enough to demand good discretion before evaluating dick thickness.

.

5*

Great twist on technology and I know this is fiction but from my experience if the phone gets picked up by the Bluetooth of a car the users phone goes mute to prevent feedback. So if Martha’s phone call from Bill was intercepted she would not have been able to hear the conversation or reply.

OK I will, the Prius BT doesn't work like that....

But hey, it was a fun little story and the reveal at the end was lovely, 5*

if not totally new, story. Very well done, in my opinion. I have come to look forward to your offerings and you mostly deliver. Hey, Babe Ruth didn't hit a home run every time at bat but he was still one of the best baseball players, hitters, there ever was. So, thanks Babe, for the homer this time.

Always a charm. Loved it!

So many good stories packed into 750 words. Several would make good first chapters in a series.

Tight and funny. I've come to expect that from you, and you didn't disappoint.

Hooked

Operative word here being "blue".

Can't explore what went wrong with their marriage in 750 words, but maybe the husband is just now finding out it never was right. Easy cum easy go.

Will miss the smell of charred flesh possible with a longer story, but I think we all know what she's going to get shoved up her ass.

I have nothing to add to that!
