Exact conversation with my other half just now, on my way home to North Yorkshire after a gruelling 48 hours travelling to the London office for work.

Me: Hey hon, what’s up?
Him: Do you know where my mayonnaise is?
Me: Erm…in the fridge.
Him: Yes, I know that, do you know where in the fridge?
Me: Well…it might be on the second shelf from the bottom…or maybe in the door…I mean…I’m not the one stood in front of the fridge.
Him: Well, that was useful, thanks.

AIBU or should I be expected to know exactly where the mayo is from 200 miles away? 🙃

What’s the most ridiculous thing your partner has ever called you to ask?

PS: this is a tongue in cheek, eye-rolling thread, I’m not being serious 😂

If it really is male blindness then how on earth do gay male couples cope! They must have no idea where anything is

We call it man looking here and my dh genuinely cannot see what is sometimes in front of him! He does try to look, mainly because if I look I will find it straight away and the shame is too much. If he does ask where x is I say that I can't have everything on display so then he usually looks behind the jars in the fridge/cupboard etc
