Title: Things that your Mother, Wife or Girlfriend can get away with saying...
Post by: Thom89 on 15 May 2012, 22:51
This happened last night...
Myself, my wife, and James were coming home from clothes shopping last night, general discussion in the car was about VW's, my wife bless her, out the blue, came out with this... "Was it VW that made the Beetle?"   The car fell into silence for about 5 seconds.  then erupted

My sister did something like this once. We were food shopping, in the snacks isle and my sister randomly came out with 'LOOK, they've started making giant mini chedders!'

She's 25

My ex whilst on holiday in Spain did ask me if the moon was the same one that we have back at home, she then asked which one did they land on.

Whilst driving along the M25 once I saw a plane coming into land. I mentioned to the wife that we must be near Heathrow airport. "Oh" she said. "I've never been this far south before". I asked if she'd ever been to France? Her reply?

"No. But we drove through it once on the way to Spain"!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

It then took her a further 20 minutes to realise what a complete and utter simpleton she was!

Btw. She is a solicitor!!!!

Can you not be mythically extinct? I.e. You used to mythically exist, but the Ewoks hunted you to extinction?

My ex thinks that a tyre is called a wheel and a wheel is called a tyre, I tried to tell her it is the other way round but she wouldn't believe me, she just said I was trying to trick her, she uses the logic of "when you get a puncture you change the wheel, the black bit is what gets the puncture, so that's the wheel"

She also thinks beef comes from a pig. :rolleyes:

my sisters boyfriends sister, was having a conversation with me and her mum about france and her mum said we should get the euro star one day and go, she replied "the eurostar would be so boaring just being in a dark tunel for 4 hours or so" (yes she thought it took that long to go through the tunnel) at this point my sisters boyfriend said that the tunnel was made from glass like the ones at sea life centres.
she genuinely belived him, then started saying oh were defanitly going on that to her mum, and would not belive anyone for about 10 mins when we were trying to tell her it wasnt actually a glass tunnel were you can see fishes  :grin:

My GF once asked if we had the same moon abroad as we do in the UK, but what she was trying to ask was 'is it the same light' which is actually a credible question. But then went on to question why when driving alongside the see does its reflection follow you, which blew away any kind of normal question she may have proposed thereafter.  :grin:

I also had a female friend ask about cows lying down before rain, we explained that alot of animals do it subconsciously even people. We then spend the entire weekend pointing out people sitting on benches and the heavy grey skys of edinburgh, we had her convinced it was true  :grin:

My GF once asked me when we were on holiday in cornwall if we were in the same timezone as home (Surrey) because she wanted to phone her mum

Also last week when putting a postcode into her satnav she couldnt understand why it was only letting her put in numbers and not letters. I told her it can only be a number first on the 2nd part of a postcode. 'No' she said, 'mine starts with a B, M778 BOY'. I then had to explain the difference between a postcode and a car registration number  :rolleyes:

oh and she also asked me while watching shaun of the dead 'is it true dogs cant look up?'  :grin:

I said "whats the matter" she replied "Its not working, the screen has frozen" I said, "Its the Macbook!" took about 30 seconds for the penny to drop that it wasn't the Ipad... love my wife :grin:

Years ago my friend was over from Canada visiting me in Edinburgh. We walking along and were waiting for the pedestrian crossing lights to change. They made that bleeping noise as it changed to .

She asks "Why do the lights make that noise"
I reply "It's to let blind or partially sighted people know the lights have changed"
She thinks about this for a minute, then says "We don't let blind people drive in Canada...."

I started pissing myself laughing and she realised almost immediately. She's a Doctor now and we still refer to the blind person driving...
