Best Reactions to Linewives and 'Bucket Bunny' TikTok Drama

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Other linewives joked about the realities of being with a lineman and #linewifeproblems, particularly their absence.

"I just want to tell you guys some of the things that come along with being a lineman wife, because it is not for the faint of heart," one TikToker whose bio states her name is Brit Hunter, told "bucket bunnies" in an October 1 video viewed 23,000 times.

"You want to buy a cute little 1950s farmhouse and fix it up?" she continued, "Too bad. Pay somebody to do it or do it yourself because your husband is not going to be home to do it. And when he is home, he's tired, and he's hungry."

She also told viewers to wash their clothes separately because of the "smell" and "residue." In conclusion, she told the bucket bunnies: "you don't want it." 

"I love Brian so much but it ain't because he's a lineman that's for sure!" she captioned the video.

"That's what I told mine," one commenter wrote. "I won't fight for you, I'll take my support, alimony, and half that retirement and she can have you."

TikToker Stephanie Hamelink gave bucket bunnies a description of her husband, advice on how to wash his clothes (he prefers an extra rinse), and asked for a heads up when they decide to return him in a TikTok viewed almost 765,000 times

"Heavy duty with an extra rinse cycle**" commented one user. "Girl how did you know?! Did you find Josh already?" the creator replied.

"Let me know when you want to return him to sender," she told "bucket bunnies" in the September 28 video, "so I can clean my house and hide the Amazon packages." 

Jessica Adkins (@linewifejessica) told "bucket bunnies" in a September 29 TikTok viewed 819,000 times that the #linelife wasn't a trend — panning to a nearly empty driveway to show "what you have to look forward to" because "that man is working 16/7 and 10,000 miles away!"

"Behind every lineman wife is..." Lindsey B (@its_lindseybee) wrote on her September 22 TikTok, viewed more than 300,000 times, "A pair of empty boots because he's always working."

"How I sleep knowing I don't have to deal w/ his storm shenanigans anymore," wrote @absolutelynotbella, who implies she's a former partner of a lineman, on a TikTok of herself pretending to sleep alongside the slideshow of Tinder screenshots with almost 75,000 views
