Screw ups are part of our DNA as human beings. Which means none of us are exempted, even your significant others. No matter how smart you are, no matter how intellectual or sensible, there are moments where you can make your significant other question their decision on why they’re putting up with you. Good thing they love you no matter what, and they’ve always considered it as “a part of your charm”.
1. Has he seen a baking sheet before?
Some people aren’t naturally skilled at baking or cooking. But one woman’s husband took it to the next level when he tried to bake cookies on a cooling rack. Clearly, it worked great.
2. In her defense, that cheese tastes like plastic
We’ve all had those cheap, fake cheese singles that are individually wrapped. That must’ve been quite an odd sensation, biting into plastic in the middle of your sandwich.
He thought the best way to dry his shirt was in the microwave. Not in the oven or with a hairdryer or over a vent. Or even with any of the other basic tricks most of us know about. Next, he’ll try to wash his shirt in the coffee pot.
One man’s girlfriend was worried about losing the keys to this lock. So, she put them in the safest place she knew — on the lock itself. The good news is she won’t be losing them.
Fly fishing isn’t for everyone’s, but this couple thought they’d try it out. It didn’t end too well for the boyfriend. In her defense, she looks really sorry.
This is one of those moments where you make them go back for a replacement. If my spouse did this, there’s no way I would be getting back in the car. It’s the principle of the thing.
One boyfriend was trying to bring some shells back from the beach for his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that some of the “shells” were actually from pistachios, not the ocean.
When his girlfriend asked him to buy a thermometer at the store, this is what he returned with. Way to tell your girlfriend you think she’s a piece of meat.
Her husband asked her to bring him some house shoes, so she asked, “Do you mean the Opaads?” It took them a little while to figure out exactly what she was talking about.
This is the picture one woman texted to her boyfriend, asking: “Is this an HDMI cable?” I’m no expert, but I’m going to guess that yes, the cable labeled “HDMI” is the HDMI cable.
This 5-foot-1 woman asked her 6-foot-2 husband to hang a mirror for her. The result: she can only see the top of her head. Either he’s an idiot or he’s totally messing with her.
Yep, that’s how someone’s girlfriend thought she could cook meat. Even better: it was for a cooking competition. For their first course, they’ll be having salmonella.
One woman was stunned into silence when her husband asked her gynecologist if they were a Longhorns fan. If you don’t know what this is, please go back to middle school science class.
This guy walked in on his girlfriend eating these “Christmas cookies.” If you have eyes in your head, you can see these are dog treats, not cookies. I guess they must‘ve tasted pretty good.
Yes, if you’re a normal person, you’ll see that’s a tire pressure gauge. That didn’t stop one woman from asking her boyfriend if he was a drug user. I hope he said, “Yes, but I only do PSI.”
Here’s one of those classic “used the wrong soap in the dishwasher” moves. I’m sure a nice wife would understand it’s the thought that counts. But she’d also make sure he cleaned it up.
When you ask your spouse to put the towels in the kitchen, you probably expect them to place them on a counter or table. Apparently, one person assumes that means in the microwave.
This poor woman needs to go to bed — she’s drunk and crying over losing at Connect Four. Someone needs to get her a glass of water and keep her away from any colored circles for the rest of the night.
I don’t know what I would do if my spouse asked me “Is that thing full of coffee?” Yes, someone thought that a truck was full of already-brewed hot coffee as it drove down the road.
When one man sent his girlfriend to find wood for their fire, he didn’t expect her to return with this. I want to know how she managed to carry it and then stuff it in the grill.
22. Actually, the first step is “leave it on the fridge for nine months”
One woman said her boyfriend bought this notebook, put it on the fridge, and then left it there for close to a year. It turned out he never even took the plastic off.
When this is your first clue that your significant other is cooking, they might not be the smartest person on the planet. Or maybe you have some really sensitive smoke detectors.
When you ask most people to put the leftovers in the fridge, they grab a Tupperware container or some aluminum foil. This husband went through the long and perplexing process of, well, this.
A wife asked her husband to grab her a Mounds bar at the store. He was there for a long time, wondering why he couldn’t find any Mounds bars. He also wondered why he’d never heard of this Spunow brand before.
If your husband tries to cut his own hair and it looks like this, do you compliment him and tell him it looks great? Or do you tell him the truth? Either way, resign yourself to being married to the “Crooked Hair Guy.”
A word to the wise: if you ask your spouse to lock up your bike, make sure they understand how a bike lock works. At least no one stole the bike, right?
I know most guys aren’t familiar with how makeup works. But a lot of them know that “Please sharpen my lipstick” means to put it in a pencil sharpener, not under a butcher knife.
Don’t you hate it when a light in your car comes on? Then, like this woman, you’ll have to ask your husband to look at it and figure out whether you need to go to a mechanic.
Not everyone knows what hops look like, but if you see a plant on the side of a beer bottle, you can probably take an educated guess. Or you could be like this man’s wife and ask, “How does your artichoke beer taste?”
This woman didn’t let her boyfriend know that she was absolutely terrified of heights …until they were in a restaurant on a skyscraper. Obviously, it went incredibly well.
Most of us understand perspective and that faraway objects look small. This man’s girlfriend saw a picture of his new truck and wanted to know why it was hauling a tiny Waffle House.
This woman shows that you can be smart without being good at technology. While at college getting a degree in neuroscience, she was struggling to set up her new Apple TV. This conversation ensued.
One man was understandably baffled when his wife told him the “helicopter” light in her car was on. All she needed was to change her oil. But she thought the warning sign resembled a helicopter.
This man’s wife decided to buy him some cute socks were patterned with red “palm trees.” I’m guessing this woman hasn’t used a lot of drugs in her life.
This man heard that his girlfriend’s phone screen was cracked and asked her to send him a picture. She could have used a mirror or someone else’s phone. Instead, she sent a screenshot of her phone background.
You’ve heard the expression “painting yourself into a corner,” but it’s rare to see it exemplified in real life. What’s her plan now? Wait or try to jump across?
Accidentally reading things upside down is apparently more common than I thought. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still dumb to assume that a game is called “Wood” instead of “Doom.”
