How to get your man to do chores, make it like a GTA mission

Reddit.com/ElMangosto
(CBS) - We rarely post random photos from Reddit, but when we do it's because we discovered something genius.

This clever photo was posted today on the social bookmarking community's sub-Reddit, /r/gaming. Simply titled "She's got me figured out," the photo is of a list of chores that only a Grand Theft Auto fan could appreciate.

Posted by Redditor ElMangosto, the chores are from his girlfriend and written out like a GTA-style mission called "No Dinner, Mo' Problems." The list has things like, "Collect 8oz Fontina from grocery store" and "Take car to wash to shake the cops." We salute this woman for her hilarious spin on a typical to-do list. Talk about creative communication.

Hey, ElMangosto. We hope you finished your mission because the reward seems pretty awesome.

Hey, if making a game of things works with a 5 year old it should work with your husband.... though I don't suppose the promised rewards would be quite the same.......

If the genders were reversed, we'd never hear the end of it. This is sexist even if it is a joke.

Sexist? Please, that is just absurd. It is a simple bit of humor between mates. I wonder exactly what you think is sexist about it? The reward? What is wrong with seeing your significant others boobs and eating some grub, sounds like a healthy relationship to me. Was it the suggestion that men rarely do chores unless plied with sex or other favors? Get off it, have a sense of humor. Are there not serious issues of sexism and gender inequality you could be getting indignant about? What is sexist is that he only gets to see the boobs.

This is actually an L.A. Noire mission, but I suppose why get things right on a news site, right?

Wow, I am amazed - 3 whole pages of comments and not ONE of them mentioned Obama or Republicans or Tea Party. It's a new record for CBSnews.com!!!

You had to ruin the record by actually mentioning them, didn't you?

What makes you think this was a necessity and not just for fun?

Well, it may be a joke.

I think it's more probable that he's the joke.

I'm the guy from the note.

People can have fun, even when leaving a to-do list. Sorry your life's not like that. I hope my wife and I still make each other laugh even when we're 80, not too much pathetic about that!

Wait a sec, I didn't notice your username.

You do know the US Army released a video game in an effort to attract more gamers, right?
