Stacking cups… In the dishwasher
Used the leaf blower to clean the inside of the house.
When she proved to me that the earth is flat
When she kept saying yes to the cashiers every time they asked if she wanted to sign up for the loyalty credit card to get 10% off. She had so many credit cards she would forget what she signed up for and would try to sign up for more at the same store.
showed up to the date high on cough syrup. Thought that the ingredient (robitussin) that makes you high was ACTUALLY made from robin’s eggs.
One of my exes thought north was just whichever direction you were facing at the time. She was 32
she kept talking about this article she read where most winning lottery tickets have a sum of their numbers in the range of X-Y and no matter how slowly I tried to explain to her that there are more combinations of numbers with those sums, so that doesn’t improve your odds of winning or affect them at all, she just refused to listen.
I tried to explain to her using a pair of dice as an example. yes rolling a 7 sum is 6x more likely than rolling a 2 or 12 sum, but there are 6x more combinations that result in a 7, and rolling a *specific 7* such as a 5 then a 2 is the same odds as rolling two 1’s, etc. you don’t win the lottery by getting the correct total lol (i get it a more perfect example would preclude the 2nd dice from rolling the same #, it didn’t matter I couldn’t get that far into it)
She wasn’t having any of it.
my ex in college got really drunk and puked outside and left a pile of french fries that she had just eaten. The next day, I jokingly mentioned that she must have just drunkenly eaten them in a hurry as most of them were whole french fries, as in unchewed entire fries. Her and her friend got annoyed and said that wasn’t the case, and when you eat food, it all goes back together before you digest. no amount of mansplaining was going to put a dent in their argument.
Hold on. I’ll go ask my wife…
After a few years of dating a girl from another town, we moved in together. I figured out she was dumb when the boxes we were moving into our apartment said frajel on them. After that, the signs were everywhere.
They thought Kentucky fried chicken was turkey fried chicken.
Couldn’t believe that men didn’t always want sex. Sometimes I’m tired from work
When she agreed to a second date.
When she tried to hammer a screw into the wall to hang a picture.
One ex of mine was incredible. She once told me that bin men had an easy job because they only work one day a week. (Garbage men for the Americans)
She also thought that in WW2 we had fought the Romans.
When I ordered Buffalo wings and she tried one and said that it tasted just like chicken.
Edit: in her defense this happened in the 1980s in a fairly rural area so…
Not me, but my friend’s wife.
Thinks chem trails, perpetual motion machines, and healing crystals are all perfectly valid ideas, but anything remotely scientific is bullshit. Relativity, E=mc^2, and chemistry are all bogus according to her.
He legitimately thought the word obese was pronounced “obeast” and Alzheimer’s disease was “old timer’s”. If he had at least been trying to be funny, it would have been better.
When they asked if the Titanic sinking was just a plot twist added in the movie.
He was 18 making out with a 13 year old in full view in the high school cafeteria. Took me a while to figure it out myself tbh, I was 13 at the time
When he was pissed the bank was closed for Martha Luther King Day, “who the hell is she??!”
We were flying from Europe back to the U.S. She was sitting at the right-side window. Saw a bunch of snow/ice features and exclaimed, “LOOK, IT’S ANTARCTICA!”
She told me that the continents were never all connected.
When she peeled her sunburnt skin all over the bathroom floor without cleaning it up, then acting like she didn’t do it when I confronted her about it
“Can you teach me what boiling water looks like?” – Ex, 25y/o.
When I kept having to explain the definition of words I was using during the course of normal everyday conversation.
She was convinced that Qwerty was the name of the guy that invented the keyboard.
This might have been about 15 years ago. I was watching a documentary about WW2 and she was on the bed sitting next to me doing whatever tf. Then out of no where she says…”what’s the big deal between Jews and Nazi’s?”. Yea…I was on my bed, but somehow that question still made me lose my balance. We didn’t last another 6 months.
She asked what I was having for dinner and I said “lamb sausages” and she said what is that? I said again, “lamb sausages” and she said she’d never heard of it before. So I said “sausages made with lamb meat instead of pork or something” and she was just quiet for a while before I asked her if she knew what sausages were. She said yes so I assumed she’d just never heard of lambs before.
I started skydiving in 1990 when I was 19 years old, and I jumped for about 30 years. I started dating a fellow skydiver that was a student at the drop zone where I used to jump in SE TX. She graduated from student status and this incident occurred a couple months later.
Skydiving equipment has an AAD which is an automatic activation device which deploys the reserve parachute if it senses that the skydiver is descending past a preset altitude faster than a preset velocity. Since she was freshly off student status, she was renting gear that had an AAD that would initiate reserve deployment at 1500 feet.
She was also jumping with my audible altimeter which was put inside a jumper’s helmet against the ear and it would loudly beep at a preset altitude, beep twice as fast 1000 feet later, and give a constant, even louder tone at 1500 feet above the ground. It was a Cool & Groovy TimeOut for anybody who’s curious.
Anyway, she was on a jump and her audible started beeping at the preset 4,500 feet, and she looked at her wrist mount altimeter which also said 4,500 feet. She didn’t think that she had been in freefall long enough to have made it to 4,500 feet, so she kept going. 1,000 feet later, the audible started its fast beeping, letting her know that she was 1,000 feet below her initial warning altitude of 4,500 feet. She didn’t feel as if she had been in freefall long enough to have made it down to 3,500 feet, so she kept going. Once she reached 1500 feet above the ground, the audible gave the flatline tone at the same time that the AAD deployed her reserve. She looked at her wrist mount altimeter and it was indicating something like 1300 feet.
She flew the fully deployed reserve for a very short time and landed on the far side of the airport because she didn’t have enough altitude to fly back to the side of the airport with the skydiving business.
She was confused and pissed when she got back. She didn’t know why anybody would mess with all her gear to make the audible, her wrist mount, and her AAD all be wrong. This was all gear that she checked prior to her jump and verified the settings against other jumpers’ and aircraft altimeters on the way up.
She was hot as hell so I stayed with her for a couple months longer, but the likelihood of her becoming a crater in a swamp made me eventually break up with her and move on.
Asked what time it was because I couldn’t see the clock from that part of the room:
“This clock doesn’t have numbers on it so I don’t know”
The clock had 12, 3, 6 and 9 in bold and lines for the other numbers. I tried explaining that you can count the numbers in between and was met with the line
“I thought it was just for show, I never noticed the hands move before!”
We were in her house and it was her clock.
When she argued with me that dinosaur fossils weren’t real… and that she was a virgin again because she prayed about it.
When I got yelled at for buying ground beef at the grocery store (to make meatballs) for being dumb because I was supposed to get “hamburger meat” instead.
When I asked her why she just didn’t switch hands when putting on deodorant. She’s right handed.
“Why don’t you just put it in your left hand to apply to your right armpit?”
She looked at me like I was a wizard. She was thirty.
Oh boy there’s quite a few. This was your typical clueless daddy’s money girl. Anyways she was with me when I was filling my gas up, I had put only $20 worth in and stopped it like any other day. As soon as I get in the car she is dumbfounded, she said “how did you do that?” Me, confused, said, “do what?” She says “the gas pump thingy, how’d you stop it?” Then it dawned on me. She hasn’t ever had to stop her gas pump, she always filled it full.
When I asked her if she wanted to go tor Natural History museum to see the T rex fossils, she told me she didn’t believe in dinosaurs because they weren’t in the bible.
I knew right then I wouldn’t marry her.
My ex once asked me if there were female german shepherds. Another time I had a flat tire and she had pointed out that only the bottom of the tire was flat.
He continued to argue with me that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked even after I found proof, debunking whatever myth he threw my way, and even found the coloured version of the recorded moon landing.
It was frustrating.
offered them pie and vanilla ice cream, and said they could warm it up in the microwave if they’d like.
they put the ice cream on the pie then heated it all up in the microwave. they took it out and turned to me upset that their ice cream melted, and i should have told them not to add the ice cream yet…
She thought pepperoni grew on trees.
She wouldn’t eat anything pork because pigs are gross, but pepperoni was okay because that’s a plant.
When I asked for a cup of black coffee, she responded “Oh, I don’t think we have any black”
“Europe? That’s the capital of Paris, right?”
Me: So what are your political views?
New gf: I’m Democrat in some ways, Republican in others.
Me: OK. What are your Democrat views?
Gf: I think our government should do much much more to help people.
Me: OK. What are your Republican views?
Gf: I think taxes should be much much lower.
My ex believed you weren’t legally allowed to make more than minimum wage if you didn’t go to university.
She asked me what arachnophobia is , when I answered, she was so surprised and asked me how do i know so many things.
When she told me I was emasculating her… lol
We had an issue that would’ve been covered by insurance, if we had it. But we didn’t have insurance. She wanted me to call around to different insurance companies to see if they’d retroactively insure us for the damage. The damage that occurred when we had no insurance.
He wouldn’t wear sunscreen on a hot day and I asked if he wasn’t worried about skin cancer. He said the sun can’t give you cancer because it’s natural and good for you. I told him to look it up if he doesn’t believe me and he searched “sun good for you” then opened the first Google image that had bullet points on the benefits of the sun. He was basically like “this doesn’t say anything about skin cancer” and refused to believe me over his “research”.
We were driving in NYC in 2020. She saw a tall building and asked “is that one of the twin towers?”
