“I Went Silent For A Minute After Reading This”: 45 Times People Realized Their SO Is An Idiot
Interview With Expert
We all have our moments, and some are less fortunate than others. However, Reddit user Careless-Reach1722 wanted to cut through the surface level and asked everyone on the platform to describe the moment they realized their partner was an absolute fool.
The discussion quickly went viral, and the stories range from innocent and funny to confusing and borderline alarming. If there's a common thread, though, it's that whenever you idealize someone, just spend more time with them, and you should be eventually reminded that nobody's perfect.

My wife recently told me she shouldn’t have gotten a speeding ticket because she was in “the fast lane”. I asked her why that matters, and she looked at me like I’m an idiot and said… “Because there’s no speed limit! That’s why it’s called the fast lane!”
She pays for her own auto insurance now.

Not to burst your bubble guys, but we (Germany) have plenty of speed limits, even on the Autobahn. We just don't have a general one that exists by default, they have to post signs. And they do ...

There's also sizable stretches without limits, though! And as a Dutch person that drives like a granny I'm terrified of switching lanes a lot in those areas (because the difference in speed is so much larger than in the Netherlands, were it's mostly 100max during the day and 130max at night)

Yes, it's so annoying when people call it "the fast lane". It's not. All cars should be in the travelling lane, unless they are passing. Once passed (and a SMALL increase in speed is permitted to do this) they are then to move back into the travelling lane and slow down to the speed limit. If there is traffic in the passing lane and little to none in the travelling lane, they're all doing it WRONG! The passing lane is for passing or within 1/4 mile for accessing a turning lane.

"It's incredibly common for people to put their romantic partner on a pedestal, especially in the early phases of a relationship," Dr. Sabrina Romanoff, clinical psychologist and professor at Yeshiva University in New York City, told Bored Panda.
"This makes sense because we often make great investments into our romantic partners, in the context of the time, energy, money, and [other] resources we devote to them."
"In turn, we tend to over-index on their level of excellence as a way to validate our 'investment' decision, not only to others but also ourselves. Your choice of a romantic partner is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in life, and it’s not only understandable, but evolutionarily essential to survival to want acceptance from the tribe," Dr. Romanoff, who also posts interesting psychology-related content on her Instagram account, explained.

I didn’t consider her a f*****g idiot for it, but my last GF before meeting my wife randomly dropped in conversation she didn’t believe in dinosaurs. It was something like:
Me: it’s crazy people think that, it’s like not believing in dinosaurs.
Her: Well dinosaurs didn’t exist.
Me: ……what should we do for dinner.
I was flabbergasted for a week, couldn’t wrap my head around it. When she finally asked “you’ve been different what’s wrong” I basically exploded with “seriously?!? F*****g dinosaurs are fakes????” And we parted ways.
The first date with my now wife, I asked “do you believe in dinosaurs?” And she responded with something like “are you an idiot? It’s not a belief…they did, it’s science” and I breathed a sigh of relief.

So many insist the world is only 6,000 years old. This is why we have trump, again.
According to the psychologist, people also tend to have sky-high expectations for love. "They often believe being in a relationship will be the ultimate key to happiness, which simply isn’t true. Real relationships take work. True love means really seeing and accepting the flaws and imperfections in your partner."
Dr. Romanoff said our society feeds us the fantasy that life will be incredible when we find our life partner, so when you finally form a relationship with someone, you may try to pump them up into an ideal partner to maintain that illusion.
"When you realize another person can never be responsible for your happiness, and every individual comes with ... flaws, disillusionment is inevitable," she added. "Many transmute that disillusionment into idealization, as they move into a sheltered fantasy world."

I was dating a girl, an engineer of all things, we got along pretty well but she was a far right enthusiast and I'm more of a left person, but ok, fair enough.
Then one day we were talking about stuff that we diverged a lot like guns, abortion etc.
Then when I talked about global warming she was like "well but you know global warming is fiction created by the USA to control the poorer nations and prevent them from growing right?"
And then I was like "sure. Now next you'll tell me the earth is flat"
And she did just that.

One of the few times I reported someone to a higher-up for their personal beliefs- I was having a routine blood draw about a year into the pandemic. The phlebotomist and I were chatting about about the pandemic and I commented that because of her job, she'd probably get access to the covid vaccine earlier than a lot of other people would. She said that she probably skip getting vaccinated because "you don't know what's in it", even if her job told her to. She didn't trust most vaccines. I just stared at her in disbelief & asked how she could justify putting her patients at risk by not getting it. She didn't really answer & we were done so I started leaving. However, I decided I needed to tell someone, just in case she decided to lie about having been vaccinated. I did tell one of the managers for the reception area. She said she'd pass the info along. The next time I went in, I asked about her and was told it was handled, thank you, don't ask again and don't worry about it.

Maybe if the scientists had been more transparent about where the virus came from (it almost certainly came from a lab leak, from a lab in Wuhan doing research on bat viruses). But for several years they claimed that was a conspiracy theory. Now we learn the truth. This is why some people don't trust the government.

You and your partner don't have to be perfect for each other in order to have a shot at the happily ever after. But you do need to share a vision.
"Compatibility is essential to stable, long-lasting relationships," Dr. Romanoff said. "The most important factors are shared values, communication styles, beliefs, and interests. No two people are identical in these realms, and all couples go through growing pains of learning about each other and how they can compromise when their styles diverge."
"Life is hard and filled with many unexpected challenges, and while love can sustain a strong spark in the beginning, compatibility and working together as a team are what will determine the quality and longevity of your relationship."

Researchers asked participants to rank 153 characteristics (for example, morals, humor, intelligence, etc.) in terms of which they would like to share similarity with their romantic partner the most. (This question was asked regarding both long- and short-term relationships.)
The results produced a list of 24 compatibility dimensions that ended up considerably higher than others. They were: lifestyle, opinions, emotions, origins, sociality, romanticism, morals, family, food, sensation, class, religion, conformity, leisure, appearance, job, conflict, empathy, humor, residence, speech, intellect, enthusiasm, and activity.

TBH this one is not really as stupid as they make it sound. Gay marriage has been around long enough now that we've mostly got used to it, but there were many people, across the spectrum, very much in favour of equal rights who still felt that "marriage" should remain a specifically M/F thing and that some other formal recognition which gave all the same rights should be introduced. Like a new status, of which marriage and same-s*x civil partnership were just two examples.

My husband at the time admitted to me that he had intentionally fed our toddler something he knew he was allergic to. Thankfully our toddler didn’t have a reaction to it, but I was livid when he admitted he did it on purpose. Then he told me I was overreacting to his “legitimate parenting choice.”
When I showed him where in the doctor’s notes it said we were to avoid exposing him to ANY form of the allergen (which was also told to both of us in person at the last appointment) he insisted he didn’t know it was supposed to be complete avoidance, and since he didn’t know I couldn’t get mad at him for it. When I pointed out that our child could have died from it he insisted that because our child didn’t die it was obviously an okay decision.
This was the moment I knew I had to leave him before he k**led one of us.

Allergic reactions isn't an all or nothing. There is a scale of response. So reactions can be mild depended on the sensitivity, method and amount of exposure and kind of allergy. Given a high enough or great enough sensitivity (often the case for peanut) you can get an allergic cascade resulting in allergic shock. So no, means not observable. Could be mild inflammation of the mucosa due to low allergenic content.

When he told his friends I was his trophy wife. I didn’t want to embarrass him, so I just laughed. Later in the car, he told me I embarrassed him, and I told him he embarrassed himself. He asked me why, and I had to define what a trophy wife was and why I am not.

This guy doesn't sound that bad. Like he just needs to learn some things and learn to think things through.
So when you think about it, the occasional slip-up, even when it makes you doubt if your partner is the sharpest tool in the shed, isn't necessarily something to worry about. It's the trajectory of your relationship that matters.
But if there is something they do that annoys you and you want to address it, don't rush. Pick your battles. Dr. Romanoff said, try to identify if this is worth bringing up or if you’re influenced by situational factors, like your tiredness, hunger, or frustration.
"If this is an important topic that you want to bring up, then determine a safe time to discuss it—not in the heat of an argument or when in public around friends or loved ones," she suggested. "Wait until you both feel safe, calm, and at ease to politely use 'I' statements to share how you feel about their behavior."
"Avoid any statement that starts with 'you' as this will trigger a defensive stance and result in a game of 'find the bad guy.' Instead, share your more tender and vulnerable feelings of how their behavior made you feel, so they understand your hurt, and then suggest a realistic, actionable step for them to work on in the future."

I dated a girl who dropped a few gems, one was:
"Why do we say words instead of just spelling them?"
I stared blankly, asked her to repeat herself, hoping I didn't hear correctly. I did. I replied;
"B-E-C-A-U-S-E-I-T-W-O-U-L..."
Around this point she got a really confused look on her face and said "Whaaaaat?"
And I said, "that's why."
Another time a friend of mine mentioned his dog had a litter of puppies. The girl I was seeing said:
"What if human moms could have more than one baby?"
"...You mean like, siblings? Don't you have an older brother?"
"No, I mean like, at the same time!"
"You've never heard of twins?"
Then she got angry and didn't talk for a while.
The relationship didn't last long.

My ex wife was overpaying the cable bill. For years. By a lot. Because it's smart to pay more than you owe on bills. If they're loans. Not subscriptions. The cable company wound up owing us so much that they had to get clearance from accounting to pay us back. It was over a grand.

I had people doing that when I was working for an energy supplier. I tried to explain to them that the monthly rates are calculated to cover their annual usage, so there was no need to "pay extra for the winter".

My power and gas bill always balanced each other out. The power bill was higher in the summer and the gas bill was higher in the winter still I tried budget billing where they average bill based on annual usage. The power company "adjusted" the bill every couple of months so there was really no point and the gas company never adjusted it to the point that I had a credit that lasted for 5 months when I told them to cancel budget billing plan. What a racket, never again.

With cable, I would think it would be very difficult, unless you paid the wrong amount each month by automatic payment. With something like electricty, it is incredibly easy if they don't take regular meter readings. This happened to my MIL, as the idiots failed to come and take a meter reading and just kept upping the direct payment. In the end I took meter readings (with photographic proof) and got four grand back for her! Four grand!!!!!

After 2 years together she decided she was bi and wanted to explore her sexuality. I was uncomfortable with having an open relationship but I really liked her and wanted it to work. We agreed that we could sleep with other people but she became extremely volatile when she realized that if I was going to sleep with someone else it would be a woman and not a man. She figured that since she would be having s*x with another woman it made sense for me to have s*x with another man. I'm not bi. I have no attraction to men. She eventually decided against the whole open relationship thing.
This relationship did not last.

Royal Stray 8 months ago (edited)
Yeah, unless it's an open relationship from the start it's almost always because one partner wants something or someone else but doesn't want to loose their stability, so they can come back to someone/ something if they get bored or it doesn't work out. Same thing with "taking a break" in a relationship. That just means that they want to break up but either doesn't want the partner to freak out about it (if they're inexperienced teens), or they want to be able to go be with other people while having a back up plan.

I'm sharing this on behalf of my father, who must have thought this when he saw my mother do this.
So our family was playing Pictionary with another family, and it was my mother's turn to draw. The category was "Difficult" so we all expected a challenge.
My mother starts drawing and ends up with a very poor attempt at a Chinese person's face and head. None of us are able to get even close to it and we are perplexed as to what she is trying to draw.
Time runs out, and she exclaims "It's Mao!!"
I'm like, what?! Mao Zedong?! "Yes, the Chinese leader!" she says
I say, "There is NO WAY a Pictionary card would expect players to draw a portrait of Chairman Mao freestyle, show me the card!"
Mom hands me the card, and I look at the word under difficult, and I collapse on the floor in hysterical laughter.
The card read "Mow" as in "mowing the lawn".
My mother will never live that down.

I informed her it was Mao Zedung and she said, "I don't know who Mount the Tongue is!" A long and confusing conversation commenced but she was always open to admitting and then learning that which she did not know - thus our friendship.

I dated a doctor in medicine. And she was far from being an idiot but this was a funny ”idiot moment”. She was scared that she would one day crack open an egg and there would be an embryo in it.
I told her that I believed that to be highly unlikely since I don’t think they have any roosters around the hens where we get our eggs from. She questioned why that would matter.
I even asked her again if she meant that she didn’t think the lack of a male would be worth factoring in.
It took her a while to see the point and joked that her Ph.D would be revoked if told anyone.

I don’t think this is common knowledge. The article you link to even says, “When parthenogenesis does occur in birds, the young usually die before they hatch”, so it’s not parthenogenesis the way we would normally recognize it - by the production of viable offspring.

In the Netherlands, some organic farmers keep a rooster with the hens (because it's better for their well-being, I think). There is also some anecdotal evidence for some "hens turning into roosters". It's unknown whether it's true and whether this means there is some form of transformation, or that there's anunrecognised intersex variation or whether some roosters for some reason look like hens when they're younger, but in either way it could mean that someone thinks they only have hen and still end up with fertilized eggs. That's not what she was thinking about of course, but it's still interesting.
[>.<]/ 8 months ago
These hens don't transform. It's because the way they feed. Chicken are pecking at the ground all the time looking for worms and other fooditems. So a brood of chicken needs a lookout for birds of prey and foxes and stuff. Traditionally that is where the rooster comes in. Source: have had chicken for several years.

The word 'cisgender' only came in to use in 1994 - as an antonym for transgender. If you went to school before that time, youe weren't 'taught' it.

If someone asks me, I always start by explaining it in the most simple and clear way, because things like "gender identity matches their biological sëx" just confuse some people who have never really thought about gender.

Basically any man who is not trans, not intersex, not non-binary, just a "normal man".

Spidercat 8 months ago
Sorry but children are born able to swim. We then unlearn it pretty quickly as a baby and have to be reminded later in life as young children. The 'Dive Reflex' lasts up to around 6 months old and makes a baby automatically hold it's breath under water. The 'Swimming Reflex' means that if you hold a baby in water and support it tummy side down, it will naturally make swimming motions with it's legs and arms. NO you cannot chuck a baby in a pool on it's own, but the human brain is an odd thing and there is science to support all of the things I've mentioned.
Debby Keir 8 months ago
Actually it's pseudo swimming *The Diving Reflex: Babies have a "diving reflex" (also called the bradycardic response) until about six months old, which causes them to hold their breath and open their eyes when submerged in water. Not True Swimming: This reflex is an involuntary response and doesn't mean babies can intentionally hold their breath or keep their head above water. * But that's why you can use a birthing pool and the babe not drown.

When she left for work in her socks, was gone for 15-30 minutes, then FINALLY came back and said, "Oops, I forgot my shoes!" Like how in the ever loving f**k do you walk through the house, down the steps and through the driveway, all on CONCRETE, get into your car, drive for at least 15 minutes, all in SOCKS, before realizing you're not wearing any shoes?!

When he got his company truck stuck in a riverbed towing a trailer full of heavy wet sand he had stolen from the riverbed. I had asked him to go to the contractors yard to get some bedding sand $20 tops and he was too cheap to pay that. Then I had to pull him out and it smoked my transmission. He did nothing to check out my vehicle was alright. A few weeks later the transmission blew on a hill with no cellphone coverage on the way to the airport, trying to make a plane trip. Missed the flight, had to thumb a ride then had to get my vehicle towed and fixed 3k. Just one example of many idiotic decisions he made over the years.

He insisted my water was bad because his skin was dry, not because he literally never drank water, it was winter, he used cheap bar soap and never moisturized, but my water was bad and refused to accept any other reasoning.

Hard water causes dry skin. Soft water keeps the skins natural oils. Hence, why homes have "water softeners"
Delta Dawn 8 months ago
That’s an interesting take… Hard just means it has more minerals in it, and it will leave scale and soap won’t be as effective. I’ve never heard it has anything to do with dry skin or skin oils.

Hard water might cause flaking, e.g. dandruff "Hard water contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can build up on the scalp, making it dry, itchy, and flaky. The buildup of minerals can also disrupt the scalp's natural pH balance, leading to an overgrowth of yeast-like fungi that cause dandruff. Additionally, hard water can make it difficult for shampoo to remove the buildup of minerals and scalp oils, further exacerbating dandruff. "

Now see he’s kinda right lol , where I live in the uk we have very hard water tastes vile n a few yrs back my now 23 yr old daughter at work in our local village pub in the Cotswolds lol said she didn’t like the water around here it’s to thick !! we were all in hysterics , (I’d gone down to see her not often I leave the house ) n tbh I know exactly what she means thick water = hard water ,thin = soft water , n yup hard water is very harsh on the skin !!

In 2009, my ex girlfriend and I rented Death Race(2008), staring Jason Statham from Blockbuster for a quiet night in. About 15 minutes in she turns to me and asks, "This is based on a true story?!". I believe about 1 or 2 minutes into the movie, it clearly states on screen, in text, that it is set in the year 2020. The lack of reading comprehension was most telling for me but only barely.

Scams can be obvious to some but not to all. My 20 something carer got caught because they rang her just as she was late collecting her child from school so she was already distracted and panicked. My 60+ late father an avid user of the Internet also Almost got scammed. One of those fines for being in a bus lane, pay now to prevent the fine from tripling in three days. He was About to pay as he knew he wasn't there and could prove it. Therefore he was About to pay now and fight it after. He was quite net savvy. If he'd not said to me that he was about to pay then he too would have been caught. Scams are simple or very complex. I used to think like the OP but since I've been watching Jim Brown on YouTube who goes after scammers I realised how incredibly complex they can be and how easily we may fall for something simple.

Pf! I have wooden indoor blinds (old Scottish colonies house), which are wonderful to keep the warmth in but, you guess it, not good at keeping the room bright. So I thought how we could construct indoor blinds that are made of plastic, you know, to have it warm AND bright. Fortunately I caught myself before I spoke to anyone else who would made me aware that I had just re-invented double glazing... :D Sometimes you're just going down the path, blind for everything else.

Entropy and thermodynamics are the problem. Decreasing heat energy in one place means it must increase somewhere else, because energy cannot be created or destroyed. Even if you have something without power (e.g. very reflective white paint) to help keep an object cool, that just means the environment around it gets warmer rather than the object.

I don't care for town or city water myself. It is not that it is not filtered, but the taste itself. I grew up in the country was used to well/hard water for many years.

Turns out there were a number of common items that she knew existed but had no idea why or what their functions were. For example, cold air returns in her house "They aren't blowing anything. Call the HVAC repair service.".
