We all have brain farts from time to time. Whether you leave your keys in the front door for hours after getting home or place your cell phone in the microwave by mistake, nobody’s mind is working at full capacity 100% of the time.
The worst part about experiencing these embarrassing moments when you’re in a relationship, though, is that nothing will get past your significant other. And you better hope that they truly love you if they catch you being ditzy, otherwise you’ll never live those moments down.
We has searched high and low to find photos of the funniest and most frustratingly clueless things people’s partners have done, so you’ll find the best examples down below. Enjoy scrolling through these facepalm-worthy photos, and be sure to upvote the ones that you can’t help but giggle at!
#1 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.
#2 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.
#3 I Let My Boyfriend Choose A Shower Curtain And Now We Have This
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!
#4 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.
#5 I Put A Rock In Front Of The Green Electrical Box So My Wife Wouldn’t Take Out Power For The Entire Neighborhood Again
#6 My Husband Told Me The Dog Has My Rabbit. What He Meant vs. What I Thought He Meant
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!
#7 My Husband Said I’m Organized In All Ways Except My Computer… Welcome To The Dirt Pile
#8 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.
#9 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?
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.
#10 Think I Just Made My Boyfriend A Puppy Milk Latte
#11 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.
#12 My Girlfriend And Her Mom Never Clean Their Lent Trap
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!
#13 How My Wife Puts Sharp Knives In The Dishwasher, But Butter Knives The Other Way
#14 GF Says That My Standard Combo Of Noodles And Sardines Looks Like Something Straight Out Of Silent Hill
#15 Asked My Girlfriend To Unload The Dishwasher
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.
#16 I Asked My GF To Cut The Potatoes In Half. Those Are Teeth Marks
#17 Out Of Dishwasher Tabs… I Guess My Husband Didn’t Get The Memo On Dishsoap
#18 My Husband And 8-Year Old Leave Their Spoons In Ice Cream Tubs And The Spoons Freezes Into The Ice Cream
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!

#20 Moving And Caught My Husband Packing Like This
#21 My Wife Set The AC At Home To 30 Degrees Celsius
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)!
#22 Partner Wants Me To Rewind It Because She Doesn’t Know What’s Happening And Doesn’t Speak Korean. I Wonder Why
#23 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.
#24 My Partner Made Pitta Breads. This Is The Bag Of Flour

#26 I Asked My BF To Freeze The Leftover Meat And This Is How He Did It
#27 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.
#28 The Way My GF Scrubbed My Pan With Abrasive Stainless Steel
#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

#37 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.

#52 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.
