Labor issues can get pretty heated in work places. But that's nothing compared to the furor that division of labor issues can generate at home.

And that's exactly what this week's Couples Court case is all about ...

Dear Rik and Michele:
My girlfriend and I had a huge fight on Saturday after we decided to stay in and watch a movie. About halfway through, we paused and got snacks before my girlfriend threw in a load of laundry. When I asked why she did her clothes and not mine, she went crazy. She called me sexist and said she is not my maid or my mother. I said it was rude of her to just do her own clothes and not mine. Is it sexist to think my girlfriend -- who I live with -- should do my laundry when she does her own? What's the big deal?

This one raises lots of questions, doesn't it?

Is our plaintiff just trying to get his girlfriend to do his work for him, or does he honestly see this as a matter of efficiency and courtesy? If he were the one getting up to do some laundry, would he automatically include her dirty clothes in the load? And has he pushed the wrong buttons by making her feel like doing the laundry is more her job than his?

Sorry, Bull Pen jurors, but this case leaves you with more to sort out than the average load of laundry. We can't wait to hear what you and Judge Michele Mathews have to say.
