We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the dumbest thing they ever heard their partner say. Here are the dumbest (and funniest) things they shared:
1.
“I once dated a girl who was asked to name a country in Europe. She replied, ‘Paris.’ I tried to inform her that Paris is the capital of France. She said, ‘No, the capital of France is Berlin.’ I tried to inform her that Berlin was the capital of Germany. She said, ‘I thought the capital of Germany was Poland.’ Lost her phone number.”

“I had my nose done, and my boyfriend at the time said, ‘You know, if you have kids one day, they won’t get your new nose.’ I quickly walked away from that relationship.”

“When I was in college, I briefly saw a guy who was surprised that the small town I was from had running water and public utilities. He thought I lived in a town with wells and outhouses.”

“When I was in high school, I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone. She was doing her math homework while we were talking. She was having trouble with one of the questions, so she asked if I could help her. She wanted to know what the difference was between an even and an odd number. I thought she was joking. She was not.”

“My boyfriend and I were dating long distance when he came to visit me for a week. I was eating gluten-free, and he was going to shop while I was working, so I told him to get gluten-free bread. He didn’t know what that was, so I told him, ‘Just don’t buy anything with wheat in it.’ So he bought white bread. When I asked him why he bought it, he said, ‘You just said no wheat- that’s white bread.'”

My buddy told his girlfriend that when the body shop fixes your car, they’re going to have a hard time matching your paint because your paint is old and faded. She said, ‘Don’t they have an old can of paint?'”
