Idiot is a strong word, but occasionally accurate


WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WERE DATING AN IDIOT? What the internet shared:
• She wanted to celebrate getting her boating license by taking her father’s speed boat to Hawaii… from Los Angeles. When questioned about the distance, she said we could pack some sandwiches.
• When she saw some dinosaur related status I had on Whatsapp and she literally said, “Do you really believe in dinosaurs?”
• He told me he only buys the Campells’s sipping soups that are packaged in plastic because the metal cans of soup “always break his microwaves.” Not that he broke the microwave with a can of soup one time. He said they ALWAYS break his microwaves. Plural.
• We were going to a hotel. We had some leftovers from our nice dinner in the car but there was no fridge in the hotel room. He put the container under the car in the hotel parking lot to keep it cold. Raccoons ate the leftovers.
• Cooking pasta. He insisted on keeping the water low-medium and never high enough to boil. He would get mad at me for turning the temp up to boil because “the water will burn.”
• He had a tattoo of a compass where East and West were switched. He drew the tattoo.
