A Mad Scientist?

I came home from running errands one evening to him running out of our fenced backyard to grab the hose with a look of panic on his face. He yelled for me to grab the fire extinguisher.

He’s pretty calm and collected so to see him riled up means sh*t’s going down.

So I grab the fire extinguisher out of the garage and run out into the backyard where there is a huge fire burning in a pile of leaves up against the fence.

We manage to rake it away from the fence and hose it down enough that it was under control. Finally got the chance to ask him why the f*ck the fence was on fire.

He tells me that he was making some rockets and wanted to test one so he put it in a vice and it took off.

God dammit, you know how to make f*cking rocket fuel out of raw ingredients but you can’t figure out a test jig and f*ck near burn down our house.

8 god d*mn years we’ve been married. It hasn’t gotten better.

Locked In The Basement

My ex called me in a panic because she had locked herself inside her basement. I walked her through using her phone as a light even though she was too petrified to move. I calmed her down and talked her through the process of opening the storm doors from the inside. (there is a latch) I needed to provide a picture of a latch in order to convince her of what she should be looking for.

The entire process from convincing her to move to the other side of her basement to opening the door was about a half hour of steady negotiation on my part. After she got out she described it as the most terrifying experience of her life. She also apparently had the key the entire time but forgot because she was too busy panicking.

Biting and Screaming

I dated a girl once that would regularly comment on how smart I am. I thought it was really nice and she was super sweet… then we had a conversation about why the sky is blue.

She insisted that it was because sunlight hit the ocean and reflected the blue color of the water onto the sky. I explained that it’s because of a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering and I started to go into detail about what it was when she screamed about how wrong I am and how she just knew she was right about the ocean being the reason why.

I said that I’d show her my phone and she proceeded to bite my hand and then stomp on my phone after I dropped it before screeching at me, “IT’S THE OCEAN!”.

I literally ran away. I can tolerate involuntary stupidity, I can’t tolerate willful ignorance.

“Spices” Up His Life

My ex pepper sprayed himself in the mouth. This other guy was basically the leader of the friend group, and he sprayed a tiny bit in his own mouth, held back his reaction and instead just kinda shrugged and was like “egh, that’s not so bad” hoping someone would be really stupid. My ex was so willing to be the dumb one and immediately grabbed the pepper spray and sprayed a pretty major amount in his mouth. I’m honestly surprised he didn’t end up in the hospital.
