Today, I had to give my husband a tutorial on how to use jumper cables. Confused and flustered, he requested written instructions. FML

Whatcha up to over there?
Today, my husband called and said he couldn’t make it home tonight from a party, because his car's battery had died and his friends didn’t have any jumper cables. When I offered to pick him up, he adamantly declined. I offered an Uber. Again, declined, and he got pissed, saying, “Stop worrying so much!” and hung up on me. FML

Stumped
Today, I was trying to turn on my computer and couldn't. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong when I finally called my husband for help and made him leave work. He came in, looked at the wall, and plugged it back in. The look on his face said it all. FML

Today, my husband surprised me by cooking a romantic dinner. I asked him why the sudden gesture. His response? "The cable was out." FML

Today, while helping my father build a shelf, I suggested that we should probably use the instruction manual. He suggested I should probably shut the fuck up and do it his way. FML

Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML

Rip it up and start again
Today, I had to borrow my mom’s car to jump-start my battery-dead car. I got everything set up and it worked. Parked my mom’s car back into her spot, went into my car. And turned it off. Now I have to do it all again. FML
IKEA SUCKS
Step by step
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that boasted "easy, step-by-step instructions." Three hours later, surrounded by mismatched screws and a confusing diagram, I realized the only thing "easy" about it was my decision to ask my dad to come round and assemble it for me. FML

Nailed it
Today, after my husband yelled at me for wasting money by getting my nails done, I decided to buy the supplies and watch YouTube to figure out how to do them myself. He then yelled at me for wasting money on the supplies. FML

Well this is just shocking.

Well this is a first, a man who actually wants to read instructions instead of just winging it, odd.

I know how to use jumper cables, and I'm 14 ...

That's just embarrassing. Not only is he a man but a full grown one and he doesn't know how to jump a car. I learned how to jump a car when I was 6.

Cool story bro.

I don't get how jumper cables work! I tried using them, but I just got tired from jumping and swinging the cable around my body in circles... Definately not an effective source of power for my motor vehicle.

Who can say he's not "manly" because he doesn't know how to deal with vehicles? I personally know shit all about them, and that doesn't make me any less of a man...

Vehicles are meant to get from point A to point B. I have never taken an interest in vehicles other than the occasional epic foreign car, or the speed of travelling.

You have been fully feminized. Going from point A to point B is only a convenient side effect of automobile ownership.

Looks like we all know who truly wears the pants around your house.

Today, I pulled a con job on my wife - duping her into jump starting the car while I sat in the sofa watching tv and drinking a beer. She really thinks I don't know how jumper cables work. MLIA.

Your husband should know that. That's what all men should be able to do. Smh

And should all women know how to clean and cook?
biggestfan23 11
That's totally irrelevant. A man is supposed to take care of the family and be the one that is relied on. If they break down on the highway and need to change a tire or something. Who should do that ?
