I went out for dinner last night with a bunch of my husbands work colleagues who I’ve not met before. We all got on great but I could tell there was a weird vibe between me and them.

Do you want to know why?

My job is a sexual health advisor.

Turns out when asked what I do he’s been telling people I’m a sex worker.

He actually thought that’s what sex worker meant. Thankfully I’ve put everyone straight and the weird tension eased. But omg what a bloody idiot.

Aibu to think he wins the stupid man award?

So funny.
my DF who is a beat officer in the police never likes to let people know what she does for a living and her partner is under instructions to not say anything. This caused a funny scene on a works party. Her partner who had had a few to drink panicked when asked and told one of the company directors his wife walked the streets. 😳.

@Thinkingblonde

Yes. It's also a snail trail. It has nothing to do with discharge.

If you're unsure, you can just check urban dictionary or put it into Google and check any other source.

I’ve never heard it called snail trail before until I read it on here. In either context. Every day is a school day. 😄

Slightly different, but I used to work as a department manager in a store and our dress code was a smart black suit, on my way home from work I would run into this elderly man and chat to him on a fairly regular basis.
One day I ran into him in the queue at the local post office and he looked me up and down and said (very loudly) "Oh Hi Hazel how are you I didn't recognise you with your clothes on!"
The looks I got from the rest of the queue!

I had a teacher who said this to a student when we were playing a hockey tournament after school and some people came to watch after they'd been home to get changed Grin

Oh OP, this is hilarious (and sorry you now have to contend on this thread with the usual 'I don't believe it' squad of bores and not one but two topic derailments!)

Not as funny as some of these but when planning our wedding reception my husband said he didn't want a breakfast for our wedding meal...

We've had this conversation too ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️

MyHusbandIsVeryStupid · 27/05/2022 08:46

Well here we go. I’m married to someone so incredibly stupid that it’s literally unbelievable.

luckily he has a shit load of redeeming features.

Err, no it's not. It's talking dirty while having sex. Chatting in bed is called chatting in bed.

Nope. It's just private conversation in bed, stereotypically post sex and when, if you're a spy. You get them to reveal their secrets.

Thai is real, its my favourite food.

Lots of people would just use prostitute so I can see how sexual health worker, sex worker might get crossed over.

And if someone mentioned in general chat their wife was a sex worker, most people would be to stupified to say "golly, how does it feel to know she's selling her body for sex to help support the kids?" and then the convo moves on, you don't see each other for months at a time as OP said he was out of work for the pandemic etc.

Oldfilmsareshit · 27/05/2022 09:21

Not only does he apparently not know what a sex worker is but he manages to not know when his wife actually works with sex workers. They must never chat. Or he’s exceptionally thick

If it's true, then yes, your husband is thick.

Hmm
DonnaRhea · 27/05/2022 09:24

Bloody hell , the kill joys have come out to play this morning
Mine-When I was in labour my husband went to pour me some squash to drink that the nurses had 'kindly' left on the trolly
Through my sweat covered brow I could see him pouring the orange disinfectant used to swab my nether regions into a glass

I like to think it was a mistake Grin

pinkyredrose · 27/05/2022 09:26

It also makes me wonder how you could marry someone so stupid? I couldn't spend the rest of my life with such stupidity. Intelligence is what floats my boat. Maybe you're all just as stupid.

That's nice dear.

LMB0716 · 27/05/2022 09:45

My husband did this too! He couldn’t get some bird poop off the bonnet so used the green side of one of those dish washing sponges! It was a lease car we were returning too, they charged us £400! 🙈

LMB0716 · 27/05/2022 09:54

I’m North East and it most certainly means discharge here too!

Battygirll · 27/05/2022 09:55

No, my husband is not as thick as yours.

eurochick · 27/05/2022 09:56

Maunderingdrunkenly · 27/05/2022 07:48

@eurochick I’m southern and it’s def a trail of hair. Maybe it’s just your friends?

That's an Aussie site.

Clearly not just my friends as another poster has said she has the same understanding as me.

DyingForACuppa · 27/05/2022 09:56

Pillow talk is is literally the stuff you talk about after sex when you are afterglowy and relaxed and may share things you wouldn't normally talk about (hopes, fears, etc).

It's also used figuratively to mean 'intimate stuff people share with a partner and no one else'.

It's not talk about sex - that's dirty talk.

It always amuses me when someone tried to demonstrate that someone else is stupid and reveals their own mistakes! (We're all stupid sometimes!).

KitKattaktik · 27/05/2022 09:58

LowlandLucky · 27/05/2022 08:12

Sorry OP but this will keep me laughing for weeks 😂

Think my eyes just rolled so hard they fell out. 🙄

DyingForACuppa · 27/05/2022 10:00

Oh, and the line of hair is a 'treasure trail' to me.

'snail trail' sounds much less appealing, but I've only ever heard it in reference to actual snails!

Ponoka7 · 27/05/2022 10:02

Re snail trails, I thought that she meant discharge. If you look it up, as suggested on Urban dictionary, that's their definition. But I've heard it called that for decades. The hair line is the happy trail. Which is why you've got to say what you mean and not assume that something has the same meaning everywhere.

I'm pretty sure the work OP does has a lot of sensitive/confidential information involved. I'm glad sexual health workers don't discuss their work with their husbands.

Op I love your sense of humour. Ignore the I can't believe this bores. True or not you and your dh (and the other hilarious stories on this thread) have given me a really good laugh when I needed one!!

there’s a bit of a difference between discussing intimate details of clients and generally chatting about what your job is…..
