My partner is stupid isn't he?

My partner never ever seems to have common sense.
Today is the cherry on the cake
We have a whippet who is 1
He has no re call and if off lead (in enclosed spaces he just runs )
Anyway he noticed his lead was snapped (as dog had chewed it ) stuck it back together with masking tape.
Took the dog out and soon as he got to top of street it snapped
20 mins of chasing him,running on busy roads,him having to stop vans to catch him

I'm sorry but how stupid can you get ?
I'm fuming

To be fair, I once polished the living room door, not considering the polish would fall on the wooden floor below.
I was like Scooby Doo every time I left the room

HotCrossBunplease · 10/10/2024 13:04

Does he have a job?

I’m wondering if he is more absent minded scientist with no common sense, or nice-but-dim?

😍 how could you trust such a precious baby with a useless man like that?!

Dump the man and get another whippet.

Cas112 · 10/10/2024 13:07

What a muppet

Also sounds very much as silly as my dp😂

My sister in law polished a wooden spiral staircase. My brother discovered this when he slid down in one second flat. 😂

They were young, newly married, proud first time homeowners 😊

@LetGoLetThem1234 oh honestly he is something else.
One time he cleaned the lino in the kitchen with furniture polish (to make it shiny ) and we couldn't walk on it without nearly breaking our necks

That's hilarious, I've laughed far too much at this 🤣

Shade17 · 10/10/2024 13:47

That’s not masking tape, but yes, he’s an idiot.

financialcareerstuff · 10/10/2024 13:55

Oh tell us more of your examples, OP!

@Fastback I don't even try anymore 🙈

I know it’s all very jokey and funny on this thread, but I actually find that rather tragic. Not being able to talk to your H because he’s too stupid is depressing, and it would have been even more so if your dog had been killed by a van. 💔

KimFan · 10/10/2024 14:25

Masking tape 😂

Sharontheodopolodous · 10/10/2024 15:06

My father once cleaned a brand new,cost a bomb leather sofa with oven cleaner
My mother almost left him over that
Following day,he mistook the orange bottle of the same oven cleaner for hairspray and did his whole head with it
Ended up in a&e

Honest to God,he's mensa intelligent but has zero common sense

Foundanotherwrinkle · 10/10/2024 15:12

It looks like parcel tape rather than masking tape but whatever, he's an idiot.

I once cleaned wooden stairs with furniture polish too. In my defence I (thought I) was helping my mum and was just 4 years old

We have a cat who loves to take a flying leap onto the coffee table.

DH polished the table the other day, and neglected to mention it to the cat who shot up onto the table, slid all the way along and shot off the other end. Wish I'd been here to see it.😂

We have had loads of kisses and cuddles today (me and the baby not the idiot ) ha ha

My newlywed DM polished the hallway floor in their new house. When the vicar came round he stepped onto the doormat and he and the doormat whizzed down the hallway. First and last visit (parents were atheists).

Honestly I've been so annoyed with him all day
Even more so when I have seen the lead and how he tried to stick it together
Look at the tiny bit of tape ...

Um you maybe well suited. That’s not masking tape/. 😂

Your husband should snap a screenshot of your Masking Tape Mistake post and share it on a men's forum so everyone can have a laugh about your little mishap and say, oh your partner is so stupid! Two dimwits, blind to their own folly, may just find love in the laughter of their shared blindness, and live somewhat happily ever after, ameen

Yes. Fairs fair. She said something stupid. He did something stupid. So he can post pics of the parcel tape to millions amd say my partner thinks you actually mask walls with this..

Not sure the two things are equivalent, unless this was meant to be a joke…

I think they are both dumb things yes, incredibly so. How would you mask walls with that tape? How could you even think it’s masking tape. And she’s on here slagging off her partner saying he’s stupid. So if she can give it, she needs to be able to take it. And he’s every right.

@Theonewhogotaway are you the thicko bf?
