Farrar Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This has been going around, so some people may have seen it already, but it's really so bizarre that it must be seen to be believed. The comments are even funnier than the article. http://magazine.foxnews.com/love/10-pranks-will-spice-your-relationship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I read about that at cracked.com. The only thing I can think is that she's TRYING to get fired. Ooh--or how about this: she and her boyfriend just broke up and she went off the deep end into "if-I-can't-be-happy-nobody-should-be-happy" land and is trying to sabotage her readers' relationships??

Slartibartfast Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I am totally going to do the "Total Recall" on my husband, a little random time in jail would really spice up our love life. Edited July 14, 2012 by Sis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyndiLJ Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This was a little too weird for words. Every single item would annoy the heck out of my hubby...and me too. Not funny at all. Maybe I have no sense of humor. Or maybe I don't have a clue how to do it right, spice up our relationship I mean. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to read the comments! That the writer is trying to get fired makes more sense than any of those suggestions. For some reason, this keeps on amusing me. Dh posted it a couple of days ago, but every time I see it posted, it cracks me up all over again that this was given as serious advice, at least, seemingly serious.

jewellsmommy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well, I have to admit, there was the time that I opened every single drawer and cabinet in the kitchen. It was the night after we watched the Sixth Sense. Totally got my dh. :lol: Some of those suggestions however, were just....:001_huh:.

Shawna in Texas Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I am totally going to do the "Total Recall" on my husband, a little random time in jail would really spice up our love life. Not just spice it up, but "THE BEST S3X OF YOUR LIFE!" Honestly these are pranks my teenager pulls on the both of us. I do add weird things to the grocery list sometimes, but only because I'm secretly hoping for a spanking. I'm not cleaning the kitchen tonight. That should be on the list. Wait, wrong thread. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not a glass hammer. I've put: benzodiazepine scientific names for vegetables Spanish names for certain foods (he's figured those out) Ovulation prediction kit (got a call for that one, usually he just texts) lady fingers (god that was funny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I told my dh I wanted a glass hammer, he would just pat me on the head and say "yes, dear." But, I might be able to convince him that there was something called "sweet salt" :D. You know it's like different sugar blends mixed with special salts. ;) Of course, if he couldn't find it after 5 minutes of looking in a store, he would probably just bring me home sugar and salt and tell me to make my own :lol:.

Chelli Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm posting in this thread so I can find the link to that "article" tomorrow when dh is awake. I'm crying I'm laughing so hard! He is a preacher so maybe he can add that into a sermon about marriage. Such sage advice is found in that short article. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiopianFood Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I can't imagine how uptight someone would be to want a divorce after these pranks. They are stupid, and nothing more, IMO.

That article was the most bizarre advice piece I've ever read, it was like someone put Mad and Cosmo into a blender and came up with that. Did you see that the writer is actually the editor of the Style & Beauty section? And claims to have a fiance? And still employed? Weird.

Shamzanne Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thank you! I needed that! I had a terrible day today and needed to cry but sometimes it just doesn't come.

Mom in High Heels Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This was my favorite comment: You should also try what I like to call The Ghostie: Wrap yourself in a white sheet while he's in the shower. Flush all the toilets and run all the faucets to really mess with the temperature. (I love it when they scream!) Then as he's stepping out bust into the room and shout BOO! Bonus points if he slips and falls and breaks something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Oh my! I feel so sorry for that woman and her man. I don't think my 5 & 8 year old would think those are decent pranks! Yet, a grown woman does? Most humorless and least imaginative person award to her. And, now the whole world knows it. :blink: Cindy, no perhaps you do have a sense of humor. Nothing in her list was close to funny.

Wheres Toto Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 My first thought was it has to be a joke and totally meant sarcastically. She seems to assume guys are total morons and would fall for the stupidest things. If you have an optical mouse and it doesn't work, what's the first thing you do? Turn it over and make sure it's turned on, so very short lived prank. Sending a guy who is "into fixing things" or "into sports" to a hardware store or sports store for things that don't exist? If he's into it, wouldn't he know the requests were fake? Dh has a pretty good sense of humor but I don't think any of those things would lead to fun between the sheets. More like an eye roll.:001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I think this is a new thing. There are blogs and YouTube channels of people who prank their partners back and forth. As always, the comments are the best. Some of the funniest things I've ever read have been in the comments sections of articles online. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I really think this was a joke. As I was reading the article, I kept waiting for the part where she said, "Ha Ha...just joking!" But alas, it never happened. Very strange article! :confused: (But the comments are HILARIOUS!!! :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
