Not the brightest bulb

Have you ever gotten the impression that maybe your significant other isn’t really all that smart? A viral social media thread has people laughing about the moment they realized their significant other might be kinda dumb. The discussion started when a Threads user asked people to share the exact moment they knew their partner was “a certified idiot.” Thousands responded with funny and often bewildering stories. Here are some of their responses:

  • When he said, “I can’t phantom why you’d do that!” (Instead of fathom.)
     
  • He got food poisoning from Chili’s and then ate the leftovers.
     
  • When he reprimanded a child for eating a pizza slice folded-in-half. He insisted that it doubled the calories.
     
  • When he didn’t know the difference between 12:05 a.m. and 12:05 p.m. flight and had to buy another ticket.
     
  • When he said, “I need to decompose” instead of saying “decompress.”
