Reddit Users Share Hilarious Stories Of Dating Idiots

Reddit is flooded with hilarious stories of people realizing their significant other wasn't very smart.

Pretty much everyone you meet has some solidly entertaining relationship stories. Whether it's positive or negative, I'm sure we can all rack our brains for some fun tales to regale our friends with.

Well, buckle up because Reddit is cooking right now with relationship stores you don't want to miss.

Reddit relationship thread about dumb people goes viral.

A Reddit thread titled "What was your ‘I’m dating/married to a f*cking idiot’ moment?" is the kind of content that we thrive on here at OutKick.

You can check out some of the stories below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com:

  • Girl I was dating was making nachos and shredding cheese.  She cuts herself and blood gets on the cheese and the shredder. As she gets a band aid, Ipick up the cheese and as I am throwing it away, she freaks out as now I may have AIDS.  Like what.  She is hard freaking out that I just got exposed to AIDS and I needed to get medical attention. After talking, it turns out she thought AIDS was everywhere.  Like any blood outside the body could just magically get it. Her stupidity was a relief that night.
  • She thinks that north is always uphill, so prefers to walk south.
  • We served in the US Peace Corps together in Uganda. One day, it was really sunny out (like we lived within 50 miles of the equator sunny) She says, "The moon is going to be really bright tonight." I asked what she meant, and she said since it's so sunny, the moon is absorbing all the light and will illuminate brighter when it's dark... We argued about this and ended up talking to her mother on the phone. She confirmed her daughter's hypothesis.
  • On a camping trip. She was worried about parking the car on the grass because she thought the grass was going to grow, puncturing and flattening the tires.
  • My husband thought people whistled when they set off fireworks. He didn’t realize the fireworks themselves whistles. Though that was one of his more harmless stupidities.
  • Girl I dated in college broke my laptop because she kept trying to get a USB drive in. Instead of, you know, flipping it, she just pushed harder and harder until it broke my port and motherboard.
  • A girl I was trying to date told me that Spain is part of Latin America, and when I informed her that it is in Europe, she doubled down by saying she was a Latin American studies student and that I was wrong.
  • Love my wife, but South Dakota is not north of North Dakota.
  • She didn't know that a "rhino" and a "rhinoceros" are the same thing. She thought rhinoceroses didn't exist anymore because dinosaurs are extinct.
  • My husband went in dollar general for toilet paper. We had maybe $50 to last the week. This man came back with $40 of mango juice because it was on sale and no toilet paper. I drank the juice but I was awfully salty about it.
  • My wife was commenting on a man who we knew dated a lot of women. One day we saw him with his kid. She said, "I bet he doesn't even know who the mother is."
  • Took our dog to get spayed (after having puppies) and he got upset that the veterinarian put in the chart she was post-partum. He thought they meant the dog was depressed.
  • In the same conversation, a girl I was seeing asked if potatos "grew on trees like grapes" and "do people in the navy get paid or do they just volunteer to die?"

I'm so happy I've never had to deal with anything like this because I think my……frustrations would go through the roof.

It's easy to forget that the world is a huge place, and it's full of people who aren't exactly geniuses. I think this thread illustrates that point perfectly.

Someone thought the whistling noise from fireworks came from people doing it? It's hard to believe that's real, but here we are discussing it on Reddit!

I've had a relatively solid track record when it comes to my dating history. We all have our misses, but I feel like I've hit a few home runs along the way - including my current GF. Having said that, I would be out the door if some of these stories had happened to me. Harsh? Perhaps, but we all have to be held to a standard.
