I never understood how that guy could POSSIBLY tolerate being married to someone that stupid. It would drive me up a wall.
Similar thoughts here.And it isn't possible they're being intentionally stupid for the sake of making a viral video? I mean, his intro is pained, and she sounds like a valley girl pretending to be high.

This, so much this.
Also, directions. My wife is the WORST navigator ever.
"The more you spend, the more you save!"Something on "sale" still means you are spending money so don't act like you got it for free!
Heh - mine to. Horrible at giving directions, entering things into the GPS and map reading. Why just the other day I was driving with her sister in the passenger seat and she was in the back giving directions.
Her: "Why aren't you turning left?"
Me: "Its a round about I have to go right"
Her: "Ok, well make sure you take the exit on the left."
Me: "They are all on the right. Which one should I take." (there were 3 exits 'to the left' of where we entered)
Her: "That one" Points.
Me: "I can't see you point"
Her: *Huff* "Turn at the next one"
Me: "Ok, now where?"
Her: "Go that way."
Me: "I can't see you point"
-15 seconds later-
Me: "Is that it over there?"
Silence
Me: "Is that it over there?"
Her: "YES! I nodded when you asked"
Me: "I CAN"T FUCKING SEE YOU!"
"The more you spend, the more you save!"
Another concept, courtesy of our species' tendency to cobble together terribly stupid languages: Use of the word "right" while giving directions.
Does it mean "correct" or "affirmative?" Or is it referring to orientation?
"Do I turn at the next light?"
"Right."
...
"Why did you turn right?"
"You said to turn right, right?"
"No!"
"Alright, so which way did I turn at that light?"
"The right way!"
"But you said that was the wrong way!"
"It was!"
I'd imagine that Abbott and Costello could do a routine with this - or maybe they did.

Hello sexist topic!
Man, anyone reading this is going to leave with a lot of presumptuous baggage.
Mine regularly forgets her left from her right when I ask which way and require the answer in less than 2 minutes. It's not hard to be a good copilot!

Or cook dinner.
seriously....the number of people i know who couldnt cook their way out a macaroni and cheese box is ridiculous. im already trying to teach my little girl a few things here and there
FTFY
sort of, but i know a number of guys that can cook. but compare that to the list of women...there are way more men.
there are, however, definitely plenty of people that cannot. too bad.
My hangup is the huge number of folks who literally cannot feed themselves and think it's unimportant. I sometimes have urges to shove fast food up dark and scary places.
:thumbsup:Oh wow...all these horrible direction stories. I lol'ed at all of them. My most recent contribution was coming back from Oklahoma on Sunday.
Her: *driving in the left lane with exit fast approaching in right hand lane in 1/4 mile*
Me: "Um hey baby, the exit is on the right...what are you doing?"
Her: "I know exactly where I am going, I can read road signs." *cuts across traffic to make the ramp onto the highway*
...3 minutes pass and we approach the exit to Bethany Rd (headed to grocery)...
...we pass the exit to Bethany Rd...
Her: "Wait, was that our exit?"
Me: "Yes"
Her: "Why didn't you say something?"
Me: "Because you can read the fucking sign"
I'm not a big fan of cooking, but I can do it ok. I'm probably best at improvising simple food from simple ingredients. I always liked baking, but haven't done it in awhile.
