Have you ever been in a relationship where you thought you had found the perfect match, only to realize later on that they were not quite as sharp as you thought? It can be a real eye-opener when that “aha” moment finally hits you. We’ve gathered some hilarious stories from people who have had their own “Eureka” moments when dating someone who might not be the brightest crayon in the box. From getting duped into doing something dangerous with pepper spray to falling for a fence fire that was clearly their own fault, these anecdotes are a reminder that sometimes it’s better to be single than sorry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When my ex called me at home, demanded to know where I was, and accused me of being out at a party and cheating on him. While he was talking to me. On my landline home phone. That he called me on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n I had been dating this girl for a few months and it was Christmas time. We weren’t super serious but it was serious enough that I was buying her Christmas presents. I found something for her that was perfect and it had a connection to some funny event involving her and my cat. So I made the present from the cat. I thought I was being cute and she would make the connection. Instead, she got pissed that my cat got her a present and I didn’t. I thought she was joking. To make matters worse we were at her parent’s place and they backed her up. It was extremely awkward and I realized it wasn’t going to work out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was getting his license renewed and they asked him if he wanted to be an organ donor. He said no. When I asked why he told me it was because he didn’t want the government to come knocking for any of his organs when he still needed them. He really thought that becoming an organ donor meant that, at any time, his organs could be taken.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I dated a really manipulative and horrible person for a bit who would hide behind his weird interpretation of the Bible, “I can do anything I want as long as I ask for forgiveness after. I can’t go to h*ll no matter what I do because I’m “saved.”<\/p>\n So one time, we were having a conversation about how he let his friends bully me so I didn’t wanna hang out with them anymore. The kind of healthy talk in relationships where you’re just trying to feel understood. I mention to him that if I ever saw people mistreating him I would come to his defense because I cared about him. He says, “But I’m not you. Just because you pee sitting down doesn’t mean I have to pee sitting down.” At that moment I realized what I was getting myself into and broke it off immediately. Also, I had seen him pee sitting down. Just wanted to add that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My boyfriend took me to a fancy restaurant and we ordered wine. When the waiter came back, he gave my BF the cork to sniff. My BF grabbed it, sucked on it and licked it like a lollipop all excited while the waiter looked uncomfortable, poured our glasses and slunk away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He kept applying for jobs and getting denied instantly. At the time, I didn’t understand and was upset with him. Come to find out, this 26-year-old was applying for jobs driving armored trucks for banks. With a record of stealing money from cash registers. I didn’t know at the time that he had ever been arrested, but this man literally had robbery and theft on his record, and couldn’t understand why an armored truck company wouldn’t hire him.<\/p>\n cathherine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She claimed to have a doctorate in ’emotionology’. A doctorate.<\/p>\n I asked her what her Master’s thesis was on and what her dissertation included. She looked at me like I was eating doorknobs retarded.<\/p>\n Insisted it was a legitimate study. Got angry if her friends didn’t call her ‘doctor’ when introducing her. Kept a ledger of “unacceptable words and colours” that were not to be used in her presence. Her field of expertise proved that these words and colours oozed negativity and bred evil, causing murder etc.<\/p>\n One of the worst parts was meeting this whack job gaggle of friends she had that believed all this sh*t. It’s like the stupid could be contracted and spread.<\/p>\n I could talk about that brief relationship for hours. The absolute horse sh*t this person believed, or fabricated was dumbfounding. Then there were completely logical concepts that just seemed downright alien to her. She could not grasp them at all. Such as the difference between the light spectrum of colour shades and pigment shades.<\/p>\n sacrosanctt<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Driving down the road and the moon is visible during the day<\/p>\n Her: how is the moon out at the same time as the sun?<\/p>\n Me: sometimes that happens, it’s not that uncommon.<\/p>\n Her: no they are the same thing so how can we see both at the same time?!<\/p>\n Me: The sun and the moon are 2 different things, are you serious?<\/p>\n Her: yea, not everyone went to college like you schoolboy.<\/p>\n Me: you learn this in like 2nd grade…<\/p>\n She was in her early 30s…<\/p>\n johntetherbon90<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When she walked out of the bathroom right after flushing and when I asked “Did you wash your hands?” She replied in all seriousness “I don’t have to, I didn’t touch anything”… b*tch I know I closed that toiled lid when I was done. The splash from the flush covered it in icky. I just said “Wash your hands please” and she threw a fit. She was 22. I was 27. It will be the last relationship in which I feel like a babysitter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When she told me that she’d never been to France. I knew for a fact she went to Disneyland Paris every year.<\/p>\n “Paris isn’t in France!” She insisted.<\/p>\n We live in the UK, not USA or somewhere else. You can literally drive to France.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I dated a guy for about a month until I found out that he didn’t realize that women’s breasts made actual milk to feed their babies. He thought “breastfeeding” was just a way to hold a baby while giving it a bottle.<\/p>\n I told him he was an idiot and he said, with a disgusted sneer, “I didn’t know that because I have never known any woman, who had or would, breastfeed their child.”<\/p>\n I told him that I had breastfed my son and he called me a child molester.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In high school, I was in an extracurricular program after school. There was one portion of it that was pretty much all girls. I dated a girl from this portion all throughout high school. I went to all of their events and helped out. I always wondered why none of the other girls or their parents really talked to me. Right before we graduated I brought it up to her and she told me that she told all of them that I was physically and verbally abusive all the time. When I asked her why she told me it was so no one else would steal me away from her. I broke up with her shortly after.<\/p>\n csmaverick34<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I started having panic attacks a year into our relationship. They were really<\/em> bad. Thanks to an intervention from a friend, I started going to therapy for it.<\/p>\n Him: stare<\/em> ‘Why do you need therapy?’<\/p>\n Me: ‘For my panic attacks.’<\/p>\n Him: ‘Oh, that. That’s just you being a girl. ‘<\/p>\n Me: ‘I hyperventilated and rocked back and forth for an hour in the middle of the street that one time, remember? That is not<\/em> normal behaviour.’<\/p>\n Him: ‘Yeah, all girls are crazy. It can’t be helped.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was trying to make cookies and kept opening the oven for extended periods of time, letting out all the heat. When I told him he was letting all the heat out by opening the door wide open and staring at the cookies, he told me I didn’t know how ovens work because the temp setter said 400 so it was 400. Took an hour to bake 1 sheet of cookies and said “I don’t know why it’s taking so long.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Met this woman on a dating site, (30s) talk on the phone briefly passed each other’s phone test (kind of thought it was weird she referred to me as her boyfriend right away) but she was good-looking.<\/p>\n Agreed to meet for lunch that afternoon, art gallery and drinks. Not engaging at all, she talked about very superficial things with not much depth either and didn’t ask what I did for a living or anything else personal about me. The kicker came when I tested her to see if she actually was listening to what I was saying because I had the feeling she wasn’t so I threw in “I was addicted to heroin for 5 years and I’m 1 year sober “Without blinking an eye like I was talking about my favourite colour” oh ya.” Every opinion she had she would end with literally “agree?” and I had to say yes or no. Inappropriate talk about her parent’s sexual escapades on the first date, then told me she was a blue baby, never hearing the term I asked what that meant, infant deprived of oxygen at birth for a period of time. Then it clicked.<\/p>\n She was good-looking, had a great body and she wanted to come back to my place but it felt like I was dealing with someone who was shy a couple of points from the severely mentally challenged spectrum, and that was our first and last date.<\/p>\n Felt bad for her, because someone is going to take advantage of her.<\/p>\n reddituser<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Had a girlfriend that tends to throw fits for everything.<\/p>\n One day she spotted me on a restaurant’s terrace on my campus having lunch with a lady. She came storming in like a fireball, started to scream at me, started to insult that poor lady she said was old enough to be my mother (come on, you understand already how could she not) and all.<\/p>\n When she finished I just said “So Mom, this is X, my ex-girlfriend”<\/p>\n My mom still brags about the fact that my ex believed she could pull a guy my age. At least she took it the right way lol<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My ex was selling a computer on Craigslist and almost got caught in one of those scams where they send you a check for a much larger amount and have you cash it and send some of the money back to them. He went as far as to get the check mailed to him and asked me to take him to the bank. I insisted that it was a scam and even looked it up online to show him other examples. He still insisted on going to the bank. When we get there I have him tell the teller the story of how he obtained this check. Of course, the guy says it’s a scam, but even then, he still doubted everyone and I know to this day he still regrets not cashing that check.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After many failed attempts to teach him to cook(my mom was a chef so it’s not like he had reason to doubt my advice) I walked into the kitchen where he was preparing us a steak dinner. He had the pan on the stove, heat on high, steaks unwrapped and was cutting up some veggies with his back turned to the stove. I politely asked him if he had seasoned the meat yet, to which he replied “Yeah I seasoned the pan”. That’s when I noticed the burning garlic salt and pepper infusing with my well-maintained 50yr old cast iron pan. Oh and when I tried to say something about it, he started arguing about how it was the same thing and it was no big deal but that he’d “try it my way next time”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I live in Tennessee and while in college I dated a girl from Southwest VA. She was “from the sticks” if you will. She lived in the dorms, and during the first week of school, some of the more “social” ladies had gathered in the lobby to pretty much just be loud. They were laughing and shouting back and forth about how they were going to the “Drag Show” for a girls’ night out. My girlfriend at the time perked up, saying “Oh man, I’ve always wanted to go to a drag show.” While I didn’t really care one way or the other, I couldn’t understand her enthusiasm about going to a drag show considering that her family was extremely religious and she was about as homophobic as they come. Either way, she joins in and rides with one of the girls.<\/p>\n About an hour later, I get a phone call. She is so upset, asking me to come to get her “Right now!” She said that she left and was at the gas station across the street… and made a big point to tell me that she wasn’t “where I expected her to be.” Now there’s only one location in my town where you can find a “drag show,” so I knew exactly where she was.<\/p>\n She thought they were going to the Drag Races<\/em>. Our university is about 35 minutes from Bristol Motor Speedway \/ Bristol Dragway, so she just assumed that’s where they were going. It wasn’t until they pulled into the club that she finally realized what they meant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was telling me about how awful his parents were and told me how they threatened to “put him on the slow boat to China” when he was younger. I tried to explain to him that it was just an expression, but he would just not believe me no matter how much I argued. This guy who was in his late 30s was adamant that they meant an actual slow boat to China. He told me that his brother was mentally slow because they’d put him on one as a child. Things quickly spiraled downward after that and I have never been so ashamed to have dated someone than I am of him. That relationship was the easiest I’ve ever ended, there was very little guilt. He ended up stalking me and making me feel unsafe for a year afterwards.<\/p>\n moonshinemicky<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’d been dating this girl for a year and a half, it was a really hot summer day and I think the AC was broken or was just sh*t, so she came up with the idea to hang out in her basement which would be cooler. It was unfinished, and completely empty, like not a single thing down there except a washer, dryer, and a deep freezer. We talked for a bit, but there was that feeling like she wanted to tell me something but kept chickening out. After a while, we moved closer and closer to the washer\/dryer area, and finally, she goes “I want to show you something,” and opens the freezer and takes out something in a shopping bag, unwraps it, and it was a f*cking cat. She then tells me “This is the freezer where I keep my old family pets, sometimes I come down here and talk to them, and they tell me the future”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I used to operate satellites (sending commands etc) and I was seeing this girl. I’d see her a few times a week and on weekends. She knew what I did and one day said “How do you get up there every day?”<\/p>\n I said “…huh??” and she had a bewildered look on her face and I followed up with, “You think I fly to space every day, manually fix a satellite, fly back down and come see you before 5 pm?”<\/p>\n She got flustered and red and said “Well, I don’t know! How am I supposed to know”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My girlfriend at the time had recently been hospitalized for dehydration. After going to the store and buying several different items that are hydrating. She then admits to not liking water, the taste, its different tastes through lemon, or whatever else. I realized I was dating a complete idiot. I vacuumed and cleaned her place, and never went back.<\/p>\n Ripleyyyy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I thought this girl was very pretty that I worked with so I asked her out. Two weeks in I could tell her views didn’t quite line up with mine but we hadn’t really had super in-depth conversations because we were mainly spending our time being physical. One day I brought up how I was very interested in reading about conspiracy theories and it sent her off on her beliefs. Aside from being far from articulate she got very hyped up about how she 100% believed unicorns and fairies were real and she knew for a fact they were running our government. She was Christian but had never read the Bible but knew it all to be completely true. Dinosaurs were placed by Satan to confuse humans and confuse us. When I talked to her about physics and subatomic particles she had no idea what I was talking about and said the things I was talking about weren’t real and I had been “wash brained” (her words). When we texted she couldn’t spell 50% of our conversations. She told me we were destined to be together and it was true love. Apparently, she was supposed to be my guide on how to use the powers that were hidden inside my soul. Sex was spectacular but I ended it after the unicorn conversation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were in the car listening to the radio when the host starts talking to a vet about administering animal first aid (BBC Radio 2, in case you’re wondering- they cover a lot of things unrelated to music) She explains that many dogs are injured or killed each year by people throwing sticks for them to fetch, as the sticks can splinter and injure their mouth and\/or throat. She recommended a dog toy instead. The boyfriend immediately goes off on one, saying dogs have chased sticks for millions of years and that no dog has ever died from it. I point out that the vet on the radio just described several instances where dogs had died. He continued shouting about “political correctness gone mad”. I said again that she’s a vet, she’s clearly seen these injuries enough times to notice a pattern and warn people about stick danger. He decided it was a “conspiracy” designed to sell dog toys rather than good old-fashioned, low-cost sticks. I pointed out that vets can charge a lot more for life-saving stick removal surgery than a dog toy, and that the vet hadn’t even recommended a specific brand. Nope- sticks are great for playing fetch and all dog owners should throw sticks. He was SO ANGRY. We didn’t even have a dog.<\/p>\n LaMaupindAubigny<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dated a girl who thought it was a good idea to keep her credit cards maxed. She legitimately thought that by having her credit cards maxed she would be in less debt than if she kept them at 0 balance. This girl is a teacher. Thank goodness they don’t teach about credit or finances in school.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was 12 weeks pregnant, working two jobs with a schedule of 5 days a week. He had one job and worked from 6 am-3:30 pm 5 days a week He played video games the rest of the time. I still had to clean the house.<\/p>\n I asked him to take my clean work shirts out of the dryer and fold them because I needed them for the next day. The next day I can’t find them. Not in the dryer, not in the dresser, they just disappeared. Finally, after tearing apart the house, I find them in the bottom of a basket of dirty clothes by the washer and dryer. He had taken all the dirty clothes out of the basket, taken my shirts out of the dryer, put them in the bottom of the basket and put the dirty clothes back in. Simply because he didn’t want to fold them. There were 5 work shirts in that dryer. I bet it took him longer to do that than to just fold the d*mn shirts.<\/p>\n I later found out he was throwing my nice silverware away because he didn’t want to wash them.<\/p>\n wearywoman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Totally normal girl. Dated her for three months and never touched the idea of politics or anything like that, I honestly really liked her and probably would have continued dating her. She had a college degree and ran the finances at her dad’s bakery.<\/p>\n Then I saw her get into a Facebook argument with some guy and it turns out she legitimately believes in the Nazi Gay Illuminati which directly controls the Rothschild family through mind control, who apparently controls the federal reserve. She also thinks magic is real, and that there is evidence hidden in North Korea that shows the magical connection between the Illuminati and the High Jews (Rothschild, George Soros etc). She was basically screaming at this guy, calling him stupid for not already knowing these things.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We had just started dating. We took a road trip through the California desert on a hot summer day. I pulled into a gas station to fuel up. I start pumping gas and she walks up to me, lights up a cigarette and tries to give me a kiss. I freaked out and yelled what the f*ck are you doing!? Put that sh*t out! And she looked at me like I had betrayed her, and asked “what are you so worried about?”. Dying in a gas explosion I said. Then she laughed and called me a p*ssy.<\/p>\nThe Christmas Cat-astrophe<\/h2>\n
