We all have brain farts from time to time. Whether you leave your keys in the front door for hours after getting home or place your cell phone in the microwave by mistake, nobody’s mind is working at full capacity 100% of the time.
The worst part about experiencing these embarrassing moments when you’re in a relationship, though, is that nothing will get past your significant other. And you better hope that they truly love you if they catch you being ditzy, otherwise you’ll never live those moments down.
Bored Panda has searched high and low to find photos of the funniest and most frustratingly clueless things people’s partners have done, so you'll find the best examples down below. Enjoy scrolling through these facepalm-worthy photos, and be sure to upvote the ones that you can’t help but giggle at!
Some of the best relationship advice I’ve ever received is to remember not to sweat the small stuff. Choose your battles wisely because most things are really not worth picking a fight over. Always try to focus on the positives, even when your partner does something hilariously clueless or facepalm-worthy. Yes, you might initially feel frustrated. But don’t forget how much you love them (despite their embarrassing moments)!

#23 My Husband, Who Is Not Good With Emotional Topics, Broke The News Of My Beloved Cat Being Put To Sleep Like This
Took our sweet girl to the vet last Friday because she wasn’t acting like herself. They gave her some antibiotics and said to come back if she didn’t improve. She didn’t improve and my husband agreed to take her as I was dealing with a huge migraine yesterday morning. I texted him after about an hour of him being there. Got this response. Yes, we’re still married, and I still love him. He’s just really bad with breaking news lol. I cried all day but I’m starting to see the humor in it…. I guess.

#27 Worse Than Nothing Gift
I am quite overweight and for the past 2 months I've been diet and exercising to lose weight. I semi-recently became lighter than my wife and it made her upset. She's been making comments that I need to slow down because I'm making her self conscious.
Well today is my birthday and while I never expect a gift, what I got today was like a slap in the face. My one and only gift was a smore maker. I don't even specifically like s'mores, so I don't really see any reason to have bought this for me.

#29 I Smelled Plastic
I walked into the kitchen just as my husband was bounding in whispering “oh s**t oh s**t!” He had preheated the oven for a nice meal of leftover baked spaghetti and forgot the high chair tray was in there.
Currently waving dish towels in the air to keep the smoke alarm from waking the toddler. Oh, and ordering in. Probably should be saving money though, since we have to get a new oven now? No idea how to even begin cleaning this…

#33 I Learned Today That My Husband Doesn’t Actually Wash The Pots We Boil Pasta In. According To Him They Aren’t Actually Dirty Since It Was Just Boiling Water
I caught this when I walked in on him washing dishes and he only rinsed the pasta pot and put it right back in the cupboard. It wasn’t even dry yet.

#37 Husband Doesn't Like His Birthday Pie
My husband isn't a big fan of sweets but blueberry is his favorite fruit and he found out recently he really likes meringue. I asked him what kind of dessert he wanted for his birthday since he doesn't care much for cake. He said a blueberry merginue pie so that's what I made. I spent 3 hours on this pie last night for him to take 2 bites and say he doesn't like it. I don't like blueberries so I ended up binning the pie. Roughly $25 of ingredients and 3 hours of my life I'll never get back.
