It's such a satisfying victory (that cannot be celebrated or even brought up again)

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only correct way to bring it up, is to hand make your wife a beautiful shoe storage rack.

This guy husbands

It's just for you and a nice gaze at the horizon. Perhaps with a morning coffee

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

That's when you give her a knowing gaze and say mmhm... and then walk away and avoid her until she stops wanting to murder you.

oh, the moment she realized you were wearing her shoes

no more, no less, @42_words

my wife yelling at me about the shoes all over the floor by the back door and then her suddenly stopping mid-WORD as she realizes that all the shoes are hers might be the single greatest moment in my life thus far

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

didn't notice the name until seeing this, that is indeed 42 words.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now someone post the follow up where she twists it to make it his fault anyways

If I didn't have to do X then I'd have time to put my shoes away (while sitting on the couch doomscrolling insta)

I did. If "mid-WORD" counts as one word, we're good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"mid-WORD" is two words, but one WORD.

[–] Sigh_Bafanada 3 points 1 year ago

one word all lowercase FOURWORDSALLUPPERCASE

[–] Emerald 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Indeed. Depends on if you are going by English word or word-processor word count.

Edit: Well I guess mid is more a prefix then a word. This is a conundrum indeed.

ChatGPT says it's 33 words, so...

[–] Emerald 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

LibreOffice Writer says it's 42 words, so...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I asked ChatGPT to split it into lines, count each line's words, and add them up, and it gave me 48, so...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

chatgpt literally can't count

[–] olafurp 12 points 1 year ago

My wife would have finished the phrase and I would give her the "you don't really expect me to do that" look

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would upvote, but there’s 222 and I’d like to keep it that way.

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's now 338 if you'd like to drop your vote in. Rattles karma tin

Ah yes, the internet, where you get downvoted for voicing that you enjoyed seeing a minor pretty happenstance

Once got the 9999 -> 10k voted on Reddit. Super satisfying and gif'd and commented it in the same post. Predictably got nuked
