I Asked My Wife Where The Tape Measurer Is. She Said In The Drawer
FanRepresentative458:
She meant THE drawer. Every home has one. The place where the useful twice or thrice a year items live. Like tape, batteries, and scissors.
Yeah , I bet that they've got two of those drawers in that kitchen!

And every nails or screw etc you could ever need lol

If it makes you feel any better, I once brewed coffee without grinding the beans first.
At my job.
Which is a coffee shop.
I am a barista.
Incidents like these will just make the next cup of coffee a little more enjoyable.
I have a coffee cup that has printed on the bottom, "for best results, use other side". 😃
I once opened a new packet of tea, put a spoonful in the caddy, and tipped the rest of the packet in the teapot. Early 20s, there's no hope for me really
My brother in law lost his sense of smell and taste after a severe bout of covid. He has a black mug which has it's own filter for coffee grounds. A number of times, he's had his coffee, gone to clean out the filter only to find there's no coffee grounds in the bottom of the mug. Because his mug is black on the inside and he has no sense of smell or taste he never noticed he'd forgotten to put the coffee grounds in.
I put the coffee cups in the cabinet right side up. My husband puts them in upside down. My sleepy a ss has done this.
When you need coffee to make a cup of coffee - it's not going to be a good day.
I once made myself a K-cup of coffee, promptly forgot that I made a K-cup of coffee, so I put in another pod without looking at my cup and brewed enough coffee to flood the counter-top.
I Let My Boyfriend Choose A Shower Curtain And Now We Have This
And why not a silly Jeff Goldblum curtain? Ours is the Nigel Thornberry "splashing" one, fun is good.
When I was single living in the barracks, I bought halloween "blood splattered" curtains... Ended up buying four more so that I could use them all year round
Load More Replies...Bought my daughter the Jurassic Park Jeff G posing one - her favorite gift of all time
They were so enamored that they could get that curtain that they never asked if they should.
The "Draw me like one of your French dinosaurs"-scene?
Load More Replies...We tend to only show our worst selves when we’re around the people that we love the most. You probably wouldn’t ever break down crying at work or become furious towards an employee in the grocery store. But your parents, siblings and significant other may have witnessed the most extreme sides of your emotions. And if they’re lucky, they might have caught you during your most embarrassing moments as well.
When you’re living with someone, it’s inevitable that they’ll hear you snore or fart or watch you sleep walk during the middle of the night. But thankfully, as this list proves, most people can look past those incidents without them having an impact on how much they love their partner. If you’re truly meant to be, a little melted plastic in the oven won’t tear you apart!
Instead Of Wrapping The Fork In A Napkin And Putting It In His Backpack, My Boyfriend Bends It So That It Fits Into The Tupperware His Lunch Was In
JKdriver:
This is the kind of man who simply cuts a toothbrush in half to travel with it instead of just buying a travel sized one.
"Godsd*mnit, Uri, again? How are we supposed to eat the soup?"
Load More Replies...What do you mean "travel sized" toothbrush? Does a regular one take up so much space or add so much weight?
My travel toothbrush has the handle double as the wet brush part holder when not in use. It's in two pieces.
Load More Replies...I may have trimmed a fork and knife down with my angle grinder so it will fit in my tupperware lunch box. The plastic ones that came with it are too flimsy.
That's brilliant! I have several bento sets that came with very flimsy plastic utensils, and you have just solved my problem!
Load More Replies...I Put A Rock In Front Of The Green Electrical Box So My Wife Wouldn't Take Out Power For The Entire Neighborhood Again

Load More Replies...My Husband Told Me The Dog Has My Rabbit. What He Meant vs. What I Thought He Meant
Yeah, I was expecting a much ruder second picture, LOL
Load More Replies...I remember something about "the rabbit died" one time being how someone was told they were pregnant
FYI the rabbit always died. Because they removed its ovaries.
Load More Replies...As hard as you may try to show your partner your best side at all times, it’s impossible to do so when you live together. You might not look stunning rolling out of bed in the morning, but that’s okay! In fact, according to Bustle, there are several “gross” things that everyone should feel comfortable doing in front of their partner.
First up: talking openly about health issues. If last night’s dinner has upset your stomach or you’re feeling extremely bloated while on your period, you should never feel the need to hide that from your significant other. On the same note, we should all accept that bodily functions are natural and nothing to be ashamed of. It may not be polite to burp during dinner, but if a little one slips out, don’t judge your partner. They’re just comfortable around you!
My Husband Said I’m Organized In All Ways Except My Computer... Welcome To The Dirt Pile
You just open up the folder named "Desktop," and you get a nice long list of all the filed. The trick is not to look at the desktop at all, just the folder. Source: I tend to save everything to the desktop so I can find it more easily. It doesn't always work.
Load More Replies...My mom never deletes a single email, and gets hundreds of junk emails a day. She has to change her email address every few years because the box will no longer accept messages. We've showed her how to fix this, but she doesn't care. That desktop is 10 times worse than my mom's email craziness.
Dam lol , I’m bad at deleting emails but I always empty the junk folder weekly , n I delete unwanted emails daily , just keep the ones I need to ,couldn’t handle mega full inboxes etc
Load More Replies...My GF Is Cooking Eggs With Pasta To Save Time
Vast_Yam4726:
Eggs al Dente.
whatintheeverloving:
Einstein once said that his second-best idea after the theory of relativity was to boil an egg in the same pot he used to cook soup. Congratulations, now you can humble brag that your girlfriend is on par intellectually with Einstein.
Except eggshells are not cleaned when they come out of the chicken, at least where is live so....🤮
Load More Replies...For over 60 years, my mother boiled eggs with potatoes for potato salad. No one ever got sick or died from it.
Nothing wrong with this what so ever 🤷♀️I do that with lots of things , ( my eggs are all organic free range lol farm up road yum ) but this saves pans n leccy so nope this is GOOD n sensible
Way back in the before time, we made coffee in a percolator. I knew a lady who would put her eggs in with the water, when the coffee was done so were the eggs. And percolated coffee from freshly ground beans was so good. wow I miss 1972
I Asked My Girlfriend How Badly Her Screen Was Cracked After She Dropped Her Phone. She Sent Me A Screenshot
Nekropisinon:
Wow, that's crazy that her cracks line perfectly up with mine! What are the odds?
A screenshot can not show the cracks in the glass.
Load More Replies...That’s old lol it’s EE NOW 😂has been for like 8 yrs , I use it , well she tried n failed spectacularly, lol but she tried 😂
The crack is in her screen. A screenshot won't show that.
Load More Replies...Everyone has some little quirks that they might not necessarily be proud of, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll hinder a relationship at all. Some of the photos on this list show partners who make creative culinary choices, and others make it clear that not everyone knows how to communicate effectively over text. But if you truly love someone, you can look past these little idiosyncrasies and choose to view them all through a humorous lens.
Think I Just Made My Boyfriend A Puppy Milk Latte
I accidentally used the dog shampoo and now my hair is super shiny… But I just took a șhit on my neighbor’s lawn.
Dude... have you seen what dogs will eat? Given half a chance, any dog will get into the trash and eat the moldy leftovers that you found at the back of the fridge - and then be perfectly fine. I swear some breeds are half vulture.
Load More Replies...You know he's gonna start jumping up on you now, don't you? You sly dog.
Is puppy milk as big a scam as ‘follow on milk’ for toddlers? If the puppy requires milk to survive shouldn’t it still be with its mother? And if its old enough to leave its mother it doesn’t require milk.
They might be foster puppies that have lost their mother.
Load More Replies...Husband's Turn To Cook
I pop in the kitchen for a moment, and he says we are out of breadcrumbs. No problem, I say, you can use crackers as a substitute. This is what he used.
Should have crumbled them though, I say as a connoisseur of cheese crackers.
Load More Replies...That’s kinda thing I’d do , mind u I’d make the breadcrumbs myself lmao , but I’m nothing if not resourceful,
Load More Replies...I've seen dishes that specifically call for them in place of breadcrumbs, so why not?
It's sort of expected that you'll use a rolling pin and turn them into crumbs before applying them and cooking, though.
Load More Replies...My Girlfriend And Her Mom Never Clean Their Lent Trap
Terrible fire hazard. I'm a bit OCD about laundry and clean the vent every time. Clothes dry faster because I do!
I was raised that after every load, you empty the trap for that exact reason (drying faster/thoroughly)
Load More Replies...Bustle also notes that couples should feel comfortable grooming in front of one another. There’s no reason to hide anything if you’re meant to be together, so don’t worry about popping that pimple or plucking that chin hair while your significant other is home. And at the same time, you shouldn’t have to worry about brushing your teeth before kissing when you first wake up. A little morning breath never hurt anyone!
How My Wife Puts Sharp Knives In The Dishwasher, But Butter Knives The Other Way
People have actually been killed by sharp knieves by falling into opened dishwashers just like that one
That's a great excuse I love that! No officer, he fell into the dishwasher.It was very tragic!
Load More Replies...Why aren't they using the silverware cage as intended? Sharp knives are hand wash only, now get off of my lawn.
If your flatmate is a chef and you do this, you have made a mortal enemy. Bluntens, damages....
yes, this! I get SO mad when my mom puts my knives in the dishwasher. But then again she loads the dishwasher like a blind badger, so I have to organize it every time she loads it anyways. (She is disabled so i let it go)
Load More Replies...but, but, if you put them sharp point down, they cut the plastic of the dishwasher silverware holder!!!
AND sharp knives should NOT go in the dishwasher - the heat spoiles the sharpness. Always hand wash, especially any that have wood handles because again, the heat will ruin.
That why my chef knife gets dull so fast? I didn't grow up with a dishwasher. I had no idea! Thanks for the info! My knives thank you as well!
Load More Replies...I only put knives blade up in the far back section of the basket. That way you won't accidentally poke yourself. The section is way back in the dishwasher - even if you fell your couldn't be impaled.
GF Says That My Standard Combo Of Noodles And Sardines Looks Like Something Straight Out Of Silent Hill
I read that as 'you do too' as in you also look like something out of silent hill😭
Load More Replies...Your GF is strange. Clearly, this is a Cthulhu mythos remembrance meal.
Needs more noodles and no tails. And hot sardines are great.
Load More Replies...Likewise. I just looked it up. Fettucine looks like a good way to go. A "Right out of the pantry & ready under half an hour" recipe.
Load More Replies...Asked My Girlfriend To Unload The Dishwasher
Time for a new girlfriend or lessons on how to unload the dishwasher.
New girlfriend i think. Unless she is 12 and has not learned yet how to do it, looks like she does not care. This has to end before it gets worse 😤
Load More Replies...She might just be clever enough to ensure you never ask her to do it again...?
Another way couples shouldn’t be scared of showing vulnerability is through expressing their insecurities. You shouldn’t have to worry about being open about the aspects of yourself that you don’t love. In fact, if you do share them, your partner will likely assure you that you have absolutely nothing to be insecure about! This takes trust, but if your relationship is solid, it will only strengthen your bond.
I Asked My GF To Cut The Potatoes In Half. Those Are Teeth Marks
When you’re cooking for yourself, sure (don’t judge me… I generally use knives), but not when someone else is involved!
I'm not sure I'd trust somebody who did this to have a sharp knife anyway.
Ok, ok, I get it. But is anyone gonna ask why he asked his GF to cut the potatoes???
Out Of Dishwasher Tabs... I Guess My Husband Didn't Get The Memo On Dishsoap
Not sure I would trust him to clean anything after this
Load More Replies...I did this, too, back when I was 7 or 8 years old. The kitchen was indeed very clean afterwards.
Load More Replies...My wife put dishwasher detergent in the salt reservoir. It took two service calls to completely clean it out.
Load More Replies...I am reading a book on chemistry. This happened to the authors roommate. They cleaned the dishwasher up. They were still getting bubbles later on. They called a maintenance person. He dumped about a cup of vegetable oil in the dishwasher. Told the two to run the dishwasher twice. Took care of the problem.
My Husband And 8-Year Old Leave Their Spoons In Ice Cream Tubs And The Spoons Freezes Into The Ice Cream
Pure fkn laziness >.< I loathe and despise things like this.
Only if you A) live alone or B) have your own ice cream should you ever leave the spoon in.
Less than 1 cm of ice cream left.... why did they bother putting it back in the freezer?
To avoid washing the spoons, obviously.
Load More Replies...Well one of em as does it is your son !! so teach him other wise op lol or he will be on here in a few yrs time , with his g f / wife /partner , showing this lol
If you feel comfortable with your significant other, you also should not stray away from coming clean about mistakes you’ve made in the past. It might be challenging or painful to talk about them, but being on the same page will allow your relationship to move forward without having to worry about the past. And finally, Bustle notes that couples should always be able to laugh off awkward moments, particularly during intimacy. Whatever happens, don’t forget to have fun!
Got Electrocuted At Night Because My Wife Couldn't Be Bothered To Tell Me She Broke The Charger
Worse shock I ever got was working on the hot water heater in a house I used to own. Popped the breaker, found out the hard way that the previous owner had wired the water heater with two breakers in parallel..... Always use a sniffer now before I work on anything electrical even when the breaker's off!
Growing up in the 50s xmas lights were different from the led of today. I was probably 6 or 7 and was trying to poke the wires of one light into the power socket when I was fortunately spotted and stopped. That was my first lucky escape. Down to 6 lives now. Lol
And update the insurance paperwork in the meantime - and tell her she's not longer your designee... cuts back on her motive at least!
Load More Replies...How much does his wife not like him? Like, did she really forget to tell him or did she just increases his life insurance policy and was hoping to hit the jackpot??
Hey Pandas-tell me a time when you were asked to comment on something and the comments immediately turned it into a semantic debate.
Moving And Caught My Husband Packing Like This
That would be believable if it weren't for the can food
Load More Replies...He put canned food in with harsh cleaning chemicals. A big no no The chips were probably a snack 🥨😋
Load More Replies...Many men are known for screwing up any task so that you won't ask them to do it again.
Having been a bagger in a grocery store (when they actually gave a d**n about this) this makes my head hurt. Food - cleaning chemicals together = NO
I'm a guy and I looked and the photo - my first reaction is "What?"
The one time I paid to have my house packed by the movers they put the plunger from the bathroom next to the sink in the same box with the microwave.
My Wife Set The AC At Home To 30 Degrees Celsius
If it's hotter than that outside that's still comfortable, and way better for the environment. It's 42°c outside right now and my aircon is set to come on when indoor temperatures reach 31 and go off at 30. If I set it to go off at 28 it never turns off!
You obviously have never lived in Arizona. Even if it's 118 F outside, 86 inside is still uncomfortable.
Load More Replies...As soon as it hits 30° C outside I go "This is the time of our discontent. Commence the suffering." That's my sort of melodrama.
Some of the best relationship advice I’ve ever received is to remember not to sweat the small stuff. Choose your battles wisely because most things are really not worth picking a fight over. Always try to focus on the positives, even when your partner does something hilariously clueless or facepalm-worthy. Yes, you might initially feel frustrated. But don’t forget how much you love them (despite their embarrassing moments)!
Partner Wants Me To Rewind It Because She Doesn’t Know What’s Happening And Doesn’t Speak Korean. I Wonder Why
I do it in day lmao , watching tele ,while reading this , but then I’m divorced n kids be at work 😂,but I’m always having to rewind mind u of phone rings I pause it , phones for calls n texts only , iPad is for the rest online shopping etc so I can actually see the screen , even with bi focal glasses ,but yup always having to rewind 😂😂😂
Load More Replies...This is why I refuse to watch movies with my oldest child. She won't ignore her phone and will constantly ask questions...
Can anyone put their GD phone down for 5 minutes, Christ....give it a rest already.
My Husband, Who Is Not Good With Emotional Topics, Broke The News Of My Beloved Cat Being Put To Sleep Like This
Took our sweet girl to the vet last Friday because she wasn’t acting like herself. They gave her some antibiotics and said to come back if she didn’t improve. She didn’t improve and my husband agreed to take her as I was dealing with a huge migraine yesterday morning. I texted him after about an hour of him being there. Got this response. Yes, we’re still married, and I still love him. He’s just really bad with breaking news lol. I cried all day but I’m starting to see the humor in it…. I guess.
Could be worse, my mother posted on Facebook that MY dog died when i was abroad because she thought it would be easier than calling me because of the time difference 😩
I've had to tell my Mom MULTIPLE times not text me when someone I love dies... She'll be like well I couldn't get you! Erm? Try later? Jebus.
Load More Replies...A woman went on vacation, leaving her husband behind. Before she left, she told him to take extra special care of her cat. The next day she called her husband and asked if the cat was all right. Her husband said: The cat just died. She burst into tears and said: How could you be so blunt? Why couldn't you have broken the news gradually! Today, you could have said that it was playing on the roof; tomorrow, you could have said that it fell off and had broken its leg; then on the third day, you could have said that the poor thing had passed away in the night. You could have been more sensitive about the whole thing. By the way, how is my mom? Husband: She's playing on the roof.
Although we just lost our cat a little while back, I couldn't help but laugh at this...
Could be worse, I found out my Grandmother had passed on Facebook; she lived w/in 4 miles of me
Not being funny , but there is no kind way to put this really is there , although slightly less blunt or smart a**e ie gone over rainbow bridge , which is what I use when our dogs are old n have gone there
you don't need to see the humor in it. not now not ever. maybe he needs to learn how to pass bad news. my dad was really a*****e (I'm not saying your husband is a*****e) any time he was a*****e when my mom wasn't around she'd just say you know how he is. yes I know how he is but I don't have to like it. she married him not me.
I would have been VERY UPSET! I would have wanted the euthanasia (I am assuming here) done when I was present. Of course, if the cat's death was natural, then you cannot complain that you were not notified in time. His wording wouldn't bother me too much though; it is somewhat accurate. Sometimes humor is used to cover the pain of loss.
I don't find anything wrong with it, even though "food dish" would have been more poetic than "litterbox." There is just no good way to say it, so this is as good as any. The only thing that would upset me was that he did not call beforehand so I could be there for putting the cat down, but maybe she passed on the operating table.
My Partner Made Pitta Breads. This Is The Bag Of Flour

My Husband Said He Stopped P**sing Off The Deck At Night
🎶 Your husband, my friend, is pissing in the wind. Your husband is pissing in the wind. 🎶
Now you're talking! The right burst of wind - at exactly the right moment - would cure him of this habit beautifully!
Load More Replies...So why doesn't he go to the bathroom like a normal person. And he's BUSTED!!!
but WHY? is that SNOW he's tracking through??? bathroom can't be all that far away, and has to be warmer to keep his willie from freezing!
I Asked My BF To Freeze The Leftover Meat And This Is How He Did It
Vacuum sealers aren't very expensive, and not only do they prevent freezer burn, but they are handy for sealing any bag.
Yeah, I'm thinking this was more weaponized incompetence. I would feed him the freezer-burned meat, and see if it happens again.
Load More Replies...Make him a meal out of eat. If he complains about the taste, explain why it tastes the way it is. Some people lack basic knowledge and are visual learners.
I believe a jury would find her not guilty of murder if they saw this photo and his dead body
Meat is expensive here, but him doing this in an Asian country should be jail time.
This is understandable. He probably does not know p**s about food storage or prep. Give him a crash course, emphasizing not only the biohazards aspect of food stored this way, but also the economic loss involved in storing food this way. All you need are zip bags and a small straw to suck out air if you are not clever enough to push it out of the bag carefully.
Worse Than Nothing Gift
I am quite overweight and for the past 2 months I've been diet and exercising to lose weight. I semi-recently became lighter than my wife and it made her upset. She's been making comments that I need to slow down because I'm making her self conscious.
Well today is my birthday and while I never expect a gift, what I got today was like a slap in the face. My one and only gift was a smore maker. I don't even specifically like s'mores, so I don't really see any reason to have bought this for me.
I couldn’t be married to someone that petty and passive-aggressive that they would be willing to sabotage my health just to make themselves feel better. What a b***h.
What are s’mores? Some fancy food that needs its own machine? I’m guessing it’s a dessert by the picture?
You shouldn't be downvoted for asking a question. S'Mores are marshmallows toasted (usually over a campfire) that are then sandwiched between two graham crackers with a bit of chocolate on one of the graham crackers too. So it melts the chocolate inside the crackers and makes an ooey gooey messy delicious treat! Not great for people dieting.
Load More Replies...HAHA. This was my ex too. I lost 40 lbs through dieting and exercise and she was not happy about it. She started buying tonnes of junk food to keep in the house. Started making comments about my weight and how I must be cheating on her. To be clear, I'm still overweight, just much less overweight than I was. As an ad-on: My mother still constantly gives me c**p about being overweight, and yet every time I visit she buys pies and ice cream and constantly asks if I want some.
My ex is like that too. And she will still buy me high calorie treats

You need the allclad pans. They remain in a brand new state at all times.
I Smelled Plastic
I walked into the kitchen just as my husband was bounding in whispering “oh s**t oh s**t!” He had preheated the oven for a nice meal of leftover baked spaghetti and forgot the high chair tray was in there.
Currently waving dish towels in the air to keep the smoke alarm from waking the toddler. Oh, and ordering in. Probably should be saving money though, since we have to get a new oven now? No idea how to even begin cleaning this…
Do not. Store anything. In your oven. Why do so many people do this?!? I had a roommate that stored empty pizza boxes. I'm amazed the house never burned down.
Because of lack of space. My parents did this too, and it's a reflex for me to check the oven before firing it up, even though I don't store anything in the oven anymore
Load More Replies...Probably only going to need new racks, the plastic should peel off if that's a self-cleaning oven.
Y mom did this with a cutting board. Freezing cold water. Once the plastic is cold enough, it will all snap off pretty easyp
My mom stored things in the oven causing me to check my oven every time before turning on the heat. Some things made sense - cookie sheets, pots, pans, etc., but later on, it was cookbooks, ingredients, etc. We roasted a lot of things that should not be roasted.
Wait for the plastic to solidify and pick it out, cutting it where it wraps around the grid.
Yeah, just looking at that pic made me wonder how the heck you would clean that up. I'd buy a new stove too
My Wife Decided To Wash Our New Cutting Board
By putting it in the dishwasher. She's done this with other things not safe for dishwashers. I think I should be doing dishes full time now.
Sometimes I think people act incompetent just to get out of doing chores.
NO NO NO NO wood utensils DO NOT GO IN A DISHWASHER!! Nor in a washing up bowl omg 😱it warps the wood , you wipe them over sorted , sponge anti bacterial spray is all you need ffs
My Partner's Toothbrush. So Nasty
I had to quickly skip over the image to not throw up
Load More Replies...I clean my toothbrush every time I use it and it's stand I can't stand it when people don't do that it's icky and the germs!
You don't need to store it on the charger. Many batteries need to discharge all the way. My partner kept plugging in my Beats headphones, and the play time is less than it should be. ITA agree about the nastiness of the charger though.

My Girlfriend Said She Doesn’t Know If The Eggs Are Still Good, So I Told Her To Put Them In Water And See If They Sink Or Float. That's Not What I Meant
Good news, the unfertilized yolk sank, so it's clearly not a witch. F**k if I should know if it's edible or not, though.
my old housemate did this. me and his girlfriend were laughing so much
I Learned Today That My Husband Doesn’t Actually Wash The Pots We Boil Pasta In. According To Him They Aren’t Actually Dirty Since It Was Just Boiling Water
I caught this when I walked in on him washing dishes and he only rinsed the pasta pot and put it right back in the cupboard. It wasn’t even dry yet.
Think a lot of people have. Considering how clean the pot actually stays and for how long, I'm inclined to believe there's at least some truth to the logic so long as you give it a thorough cleaning from time to time.
Load More Replies...I know someone whose husband gave her a hard time when he caught her cleaning the sink...no need for that when the sink is full of water and dish soap!
What? I clean mine every time I do the dishes. Gross.
Load More Replies...How My Wife "Mops" The Hardwood Floors
With that amount of warp, they'll be on Qo'nos in no time!
Load More Replies...I read somewhere this is a cultural preference. They must not have wood floors
Lemme guess - she's from a country that has tile or cement floors most often? A friend lived below a family that just moved to North American from Algeria. Huge leaks in the bathroom - HUGE. Lady upstairs was cleaning the bathroom the way she always has - buckets and buckets of water thrown over everything. Works great - if your bathroom is a wet room. But wet rooms aren't the norm in 1920s-built Canadian apartments.
God. Looks like how I used to 'clean' the floor as a kid. One year I got one of those fake aquariums that's filled with some gel material so you can pose plastic fishes and divers and stuff in it. But... I really wanted that octopus figure, so I take it out and to the bathroom sink to rinse it off. Apparently tracked gel to the bathroom sink upstairs, so my parents gave me a bucket of water and told me to clean up the mess. I did so by pouring the water bucket onto the upstairs hall. Didn't realize the problem with doing this on a wooden floor until APPARENTLY it started leaking through the living room ceiling. My bad.
wonder how long it takes mold to build up inside the walls where the water seeps under the baseboard?
Having spent most of my childhood in a country where all the floors are stone/ceramic tile, this is THE best way to wash those... There are even drains in most floors to push the water down. It makes a vacuum and damp mop seem grungy by comparison, and carpet is downright disgusting. It's never really clean!
😱😱😱😱😱🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️there in INVALIDATES ,the life time guarantee ffs stupid woman , it truly worries me how few parents actually teach their kids things growing up 🤦♀️🤬
My Girlfriend's Contact Lenses
I've seen a few different posts where people do this with their contacts. I do not understand it! I've missed the bin a few times and found the dried up husk of a contact a few days later while sweeping, but never do I do this on purpose. So weird.
Load More Replies...My ex-wife does this. I remember I had to move the bed once and found dozens of these behind the headboard.
Probably dropped them in the dark and forgot they were on the floor.
Well when they are out she can't see to throw them away. Get her a little trash can do she can put it on the counter and throw them in there
Instead Of Rinsing His Cup Between Drinks, My Boyfriend Will Just Refill It With Whatever Since It “Mixes In His Stomach Anyway”
Pictured is his glass of “water” after milk and oreos.
Heard a comedian comment, regarding 'Cookies and Cream Oreos', "I'd love to have been the guy who walked into a corporate meeting and pitched the idea of Oreo-Flavored Oreos". In other news, in a day or two (approximately July 9, 2025), Oreo will be introducing Blueberry Pie Oreos, with graham cracker-flavored cookies.
He couldn't make it to the bathroom in time so he squeaked out a small t**d into his glass. It's ok, it all mixes in his stomach anyway.
Load More Replies...Sinbad once ended up in the land of the lazy where they ate flour, water and eggs and then sat in front of the fire expecting it to turn into bread in their bellies. It put me in mind of that.
I had a few cups of 'interesting' tea last week because I forgot I had had Baileys and milk in the mug beforehand. Not bad, but unexpected.
Husband Doesn't Like His Birthday Pie
My husband isn't a big fan of sweets but blueberry is his favorite fruit and he found out recently he really likes meringue. I asked him what kind of dessert he wanted for his birthday since he doesn't care much for cake. He said a blueberry merginue pie so that's what I made. I spent 3 hours on this pie last night for him to take 2 bites and say he doesn't like it. I don't like blueberries so I ended up binning the pie. Roughly $25 of ingredients and 3 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Its better for him to be honest than say he liked it and then she'd make it for him every year.
Load More Replies...Oh that is so mean. I would eat the whole thing if someone made an effort like this even if i have to force it down. Afterwards i would say i was maybe a bit greedy and feel like i eat to much of it because it was so good, so please next time, something else 😬 Some people really deserve to be alone 🫤
Honestly, I wonder how people were brought up. If someone has gone to all the effort you eat a piece and you thank them for it. Afterwards it’s possible to compliment every part of it but admit that much as it was delicious the whole thing was too sweet for you.
Load More Replies...Two bites?!? What is he a toddler? Eat a whole piece - really take your time with it - show consideration (as in, you're actually thinking about how you feel about the pie). Then say, with a sh!t ton of sheepishness, "I think I might have made a mistake on asking for this combo." And then you will STILL eat the pie - in a deconstructed form, so you can have your blueberry pie one time, and then a little meringue another time. And you will tell your wife how awesome she is to have gone through all this trouble, but you goofed and please never make it again.
Blueberry meringue pie sounds delicious. Is that ungrateful guy actually a toddler that he couldn’t even choke down one slice and say something polite?
Nah, this is ragebait... there's not even anything missing, there's just a fork stuck in the meringue. Nobody goes to that much trouble to bake a pie and somehow manages to serve it without cutting a slice. Would have been more effective if they had cut a slice out of it, stuck it on a plate and had one bite missing, but then she wouldn't have been able to use the pie for its original intended purpose... which was not the trash.

My Husband Made Lunch For Me Today
My girlfriend calls this her "white-girl dinner", She would add cheese and maybe some salami though. Last night we had mangoes, strawberries, and blueberries, with whipped cream for dinner. Along with slices of hard cheese. It was fantastic.

My Wife Lost Her Apple Pencil Four Months Ago. After Replacing It, We Just Found It
Everytime I replace something, I end up finding the original right after.
I've taken to using that as a causative mechanism. "I give up. I'll have to buy a new one to find the old one." It does seem to work.
Load More Replies...If I recall right you can use the “find my” app to get its approximate location if it still has power.
Not exactly the same, but I bought a neck massager, and one of the chip resistors inside its circuitboard melted a few weeks later. So I bought a new chip, and soldered it in place. Turned it back on and it worked for 5 minutes before I smelled burning. Opened it back up and sure enough the new chip had melted again. I have given up on that neck massager.
This is why I love bright colors vs the normal white, gray or black.
Why not just use the iPhone or iPad like the rest of us do lol with fingers to type 🤷♀️no pencil needed , so can’t get on with them things lol

When My Wife Parks The Car Like This
I mean, if you're street is on an incline this is what youre meant to do. If it's flat, not so much. But if she learnt in an area with lots of hills, thats an autopilot habit youre not turning off
Yeah, I do this too, but I don't put my tire into the curb like this. I just turn the tire towards the curb.
Load More Replies...I remember that when I was doing Sheriff training, they told you to turn your wheels toward the curb during a stop so that if you are hit, the car doesn't go into traffic. I think she just gets over enthusiastic about it
Load More Replies...Not correct. You turn the wheel towards the curb…you DON’T ram the wheel right onto the curb, possibly causing a blowout.
Load More Replies...Good thing the curb isn't that d**n Belgian block. I blew a tire out on one a couple of times.
Noooooo, she's close to damaging the wheel. Does she even know how to park straight?
The Space My Wife Gives Me To Sleep On Our Queen Size Bed
That was me and my male ex. Plus he snored and would get pissed when I’d ask/tell him to turn on his side. I started sleeping on the couch. Yeah… Now my younger cat sleeps in the bed with me and his occasional snoring is adorable.
Long ago, my wife figured out how to use her elbow to get me to roll back out of the way. 😁 I don't even wake up.

Does Anyone Else’s Wife Do This?
My wife doesn’t take the sauce packet out of the bowl for her ramen. She squeezes the sauce out and then puts the packet back in the bowl for an easier cleanup.
you mean the micro plastics that have always been there?
Load More Replies...I tend to dunk the packets in to rinse the packets but then bin them
Load More Replies...Easier clean up because she eats them? Otherwise it’s just a case of putting them in the bin later rather than sooner.
Worse than that, you now have to handle soggy plastic or spoon it out of the damned bowl.

For Whatever Reason My Girlfriend Decided To Store A Fire Blanket In The Oven With The Trays And Then Proceeded To Forget And Put The Oven On
Trays, fireblanket and oven are now all ruined.
I'm curious about this - that looks like a folded fire blanket not enclosed in any sort of cover. If so, it's fine. Have I missed something? Was it perhaps in some kind of plastic bag that's melted which my old eyes are failing to spot?
Why people don’t learn this is very worrying isn’t it lol I was taught that from a little child by my gran lol , n I taught my kids to , I only put baking trays n the like in the grill cos we never use the grill 😂NEVER in the oven safer isn’t it

Girlfriend Couldn’t Open A Lid So She Cut A Hole In It
VALID. This is Talenti Gelato and my husband had to use wire cutters to cut the d**n lid off of one of the pints for me.
Right?! Most of them aren't a problem, but every once in a while, the lid freezes shut in just the wrong way...
Load More Replies...not the talenti! honestly I understand, but cutting that hole must have taken as much effort as opening the lid, so I'm not sure which is better
Those particular belated are impossible to open. We tried EVERYTHING.
It's not frozen on. Their sealing method sometimes causes the lid to be melted on, I think. Talenti claims they addressed the issue, but we still had to cut the lid off after they had made a post about it.
Load More Replies...Quirky tip but it works - Keep an inexpensive pliers style oil filter wrench in the kitchen. I haven't found a stubborn jar lid yet that won't yield to those! My " honey can you open this" days are over.
Hahaha I actually did this earlier today with a screw-on blender cup that pressurized somehow while blending!
Load More Replies...I keep pliers and a pipe wrench in my kitchen drawer (Yeah. THAT kitchen drawer!) for just such an emergency.

How My Wife Does The Laundry
I do the bulk of our laundry, while my wife will occasionally wash items in urgent situations (dog messes, immediate needs, etc). Our washer died when she tried starting a load. Since we needed the bedsheets for guests the next day, I emptied the washer to find this mess. Like 8-10 times the amount of Oxyclean I normally use, and an insane amount of scent beads. Detergent compartment was also filled to the brim.
Scent beads are the most useless and yet harmful thing. Why would people use that s**t?
You actually need about half (or even less) of the recommended dose on the flask for perfectly clean clothes most of the time. It has saved me a lot of money halving the dose.

You’re supposed to return them to the farm so the chickens can fill them back up.
Load More Replies...This is usually for people who do composting for their garden. It’s what my mom does.
I do this. Its convenient and it doesnt matter. You can tell that you have many or few eggs by the weight, so it's not misleading anyone. Also I do all the cooking and subsequent throwing away of empty containers, so I do what I want. What is the reason for this being a wrong or bad thing to do?
I guess most people's objection is that its slothful. The egg shell is literally in your hands, just put it in the bin (or compost tub). Why leave a shell full of egg residue to slowly molder away in your cupboard / fridge

My Wife Cuts The Hole In The Milk Bag Too Small, And Doesn't Like It When I Make It Bigger
Speaking of being clueless; here's a pic for those judging the person having milk from a bag. We have these in Canada. Here are 2; there are lots more options. These bags you see each have 3 bags inside, and we put the smaller bag inside this bag into a container and cut a hole to pour the milk. Screenshot...33f1a.jpeg
Used to have milk bags wayyyy back in the 70s in Germany . Then Tetra packs/ milk cartons we're invented and the bags vanished.
Yeah, I remember them from the mid to late 80s. Didn't even register they were gone until I saw them again online.

My Husband Runs His Vehicle To Zero Miles Of Gas
I was told this is bad for the car. Not sure if that's true or not.
it's bad when you usually fill your car at a half or quarter tank because when it does lower it dries out and then when you refill it you can get sediment into the FI system. Consistency is key.
Load More Replies...And the engine coughs, and stops, and does unimaginable damage to the fuel system.
Interestingly, cars in the U.S. will run well past 0. I’ve never fully tested mine beyond 10 miles or so, but apparently most can get up to 30+ miles on 0 without a hitch. I’m not sure about cars in most places outside of the U.S. though will not do this, so I wouldn’t try it :D

My Wife Fried A 60-Day Dry-Aged Ribeye In Slices
Every SO does something the partner can't understand. I ignore so many things. I'm sure it goes the other way. Choose your battles wisely and learn to laugh at each other.
I'm sorry but if you mess it up, you clean it. I have no patience with those who will not clean up after themselves over the age of twelve. Funnily enough, there are no u cleaned dishes in my house, I wonder why....
Not applicable to me lol being divorced 13 yrs , I just used to roll my eyes n get over it , life’s to short lol well unless it’s dangerous , then it’s go mental time
That last one, are packs of cherry tomatoes a UK McDonald's thing? Or maybe just regional? I've worked at McDonald's in Indiana and Kentucky, and we never had them. The apples, yes. But not the tomatoes. In fact, I don't think we ever had cherry tomatoes at all. Just sliced regular ones. Unless it was WAY back in the day when we had salads, and I just don't remember.
It depends on what it is. If it's about computers, I cut her a lot of slack because she's not super techy like I am. She knows how to use a computer, but she doesn't now much beyond that. If she gets an error message, she calls me in. On the other hand, I can't ever put the right towel up when I get a new one, so we all have our strengths.
