You can love someone and still be astounded by some of the stupid things they say. You can then go and share the stupid things they say on Reddit for karma points. Redditor u/lettheidiotspeak (and apt user name) decided to give people an opportunity to dunk on their friends and family by asking r/AskReddit, “Reddit, what’s something a family member has said that was so incredibly stupid you couldn’t believe it came out of their mouth?”
They then shared their own story about their wife, which I hope she never saw.
“I’ll start…My wife and I are planning an incredibly long road trip (NY to Alaska) and as we were driving along she turned to me in all seriousness and said ‘I’m worried about driving through Canada.’
‘Why?’ I replied, expecting something about the Alaska highway, which is notorious for being a dangerous road.
‘Well, they use liters up there and my gas tank is in gallons… what if we run out of gas?’
I was speechless…”
Hopefully they remained speechless and were nicer to her in real life than on the Internet. Diplomacy is a key aspect to more close relationships.
But I will admit that some of these stupid things people say they’ve heard family members say would be hard not to make fun of:
