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.

I’m An Idiot And My Wife Won’t Stop Laughing At Me
n1k0me:
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.
BlahBlobLa 1 year ago
I have a coffee cup that has printed on the bottom, "for best results, use other side". 😃

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.

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.

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.

#29
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…
#30
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.

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.

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.

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.
Forrest Hobbs 1 year ago
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?

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.

My Wife Cuts The Hole In The Milk Bag Too Small, And Doesn't Like It When I Make It Bigger
Saphyre Fyre 1 year ago
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

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.
