Husband Fail Friday

October 30, 2009 — 10 Comments

It’s Friday! Time for another Husband Fail!

This is your opportunity to share silly stories of how your husband pretty much failed you this past week!

Or, if you want to be honest (Mr. Husband) then go ahead and admit what you did and how it was so lame of you to do whatever you did before your wife shows up and does it for you!

Please try not to take yourself (or this post) too seriously…

Me First:

When I’m tired I can get sarcastic. And when I’m sarcastic I can get in trouble because it’s been made pretty clear that my particular “type” of sarcasm really isn’t understood by anyone else on the planet except me.

So, what I consider “funny” and somewhat “playful” is often understood as “rude” and “jerkface.”

I probably don’t need to continue this confession, right?

  1. um, the most important lesson i've ever learned. The lesson that I have learned in the most hard way. … I have hurt many people by being "hilarious"…. its a good thing to know.

  2. I had a friend who used to say "I have a way with words, but it's not a good way." I'm very guilty of this too. I'm especially guilty with jokes/comments that would go over fine with coworkers, but not so well with the wife.

    I once had a friend who suggested I give up sarcasm for Lent, so that should give you a feel for where I sit on the sarcasm scale.

  3. awwww – but what about all of you hubbies who do so many things RIGHT too? I read your Husband Fail stories each friday and they bring such a smile to my face. But today, I wanted to write about all the way hubbies succeed too :) Yay Friday Husband Succeeds :) You are a blessing to us!

  4. So glad I don't have this problem.

  5. DUDE! i did that like ten times this past week! I can be a massive jerkkk

  6. So yesterday was the wife's birthday. Walked around all morning getting ready without a thought until she asked "Is there something you want to tell me?". "Oh, um happy birthday" I lamely replied. (for w/e reason thought it was the next day) To make me feel like more of a jerk, when I went to work, a coworker tells me, "I waited up till midnight last night so I could be the first to wish her "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall." My wife barely knows her. Yep, that was my husband fail. Thankfully she has a forgiving spirit. :)

  7. yeah… I think I pretty much do this once a day, and we also have the language barrier to cross as well, so sometimes… my jokes are made even worse… Stop. Making. Dumb. Jokes.
