These People Realized That Their Partner Isn’t The Sharpest Knife In The Drawer

Here are just a few examples of people who have shared their own dumb relationship moments online for everyone to see.

His girlfriend is in college for brain and behavioral neuroscience but was having so much difficulty setting up her Apple TV in her dorm room that he probably began to second guess her major choice.

Turns out, the TV wasn't even plugged in. Happens to the best of us.

This guy's partner kept saying that she didn't want to lose her keys, and he found them like this - attached to the lock. Some people just don't think before they act, just like my ex-boyfriend.

Even though she won't lose her keys, she definitely won't be able to use this lock any time soon.

The caption says it all for this one. The effort was there at least.

I looked it up, and there are actually tons of DIY's out there for pistachio shells, so she could consider making a little craft project out of them.

This girl asked her boyfriend to hang a mirror in her bathroom for her, and once he was done, she saw that he hung it up at his height.

Now, whenever she looks in that mirror, she can only see the top of her head.

Cleopatra does NOT look happy without her partner in crime. The betrayal probably feels like a stab in the back.

Honestly, this is a fair mistake, but his assumption that Cesar was just a dressing probably ruined her Halloween.

This person asked their partner to put away the leftovers for once after dinner, and she came down to this later that night.

It looks pretty stupid, but it probably works fine. But why don't they know how to use a container, like a normal person?

At the end of the day, this husband got what his partner needed him to get, but 40 tortillas is a lot of tortillas, not some tortillas.

I hope that they made burritos for the entire neighborhood or something because those bad boys don't stay fresh for long.

This dude might be missing a brain cell or two. That, or he's never seen a real-life thermometer or pregnancy test.

Rule #1 of a relationship: try not to panic until you know the full story.

Honestly, we've all been there. Those moments where your partner values an inanimate object more than they value you can be infuriating.

This woman's husband tried to make cookies on a cooling rack. This deserves an A for effort in my opinion, but it was definitely a pain to clean.

This is a key example of why following a video tutorial for something that you have never done before is usually best.

Sadly, outlets just don't work this way, and that also might be a fire hazard.

The caption says it all. This was an example of a simple, slightly infuriating miscommunication, but I still don't understand how he never knew that chicken can go in the freezer.

This person's wife bought a cast iron skillet from Amazon and she didn't check the size before ordering it.

She probably thought that she was getting one heck of a deal for a cast iron, but sadly that was not the case. Maybe they could cook a singular egg in it?
