#20. At Least You Tried
We dare to say most couples fight over cleaning-related issues, and cleaning the toilet is the disgusting task that nobody likes to do. Still, it's a fairly simple one, so how on earth did this husband mistake bath bombs for toilet cleaner?
Despite the colorful results, we're pretty sure it wasn't his intention to leave such work of art inside the toilet bowl. It seems as if this simple household chore was too much for this poor husband, but at least he tried, so we'll give him that.
#19. Roses Are Red, And So Are Tomatoes
A bouquet is the classic romantic gesture that couples love and even expect to receive, right? This was probably the same reasoning behind this husband's weird, yet ingenious gift. That, or the store was closed.
At least, tomatoes are edible and would probably be put to better use than a boring flower arrangement, but we can't help but wonder if this hubby was sent to sleep in the couch that night.
#18. Holy Sheet
Let's just say that fitted sheets are as annoying as if they were made by Satan himself. Their tricky corners make laundry a lot more stressing and challenging, but it's part of the household chores and, well, someone has to do it.
Apparently, this husband agrees as he showed he isn't very fond of fitted sheets by completely giving up on the folding task. While we believe he could have tried a bit harder, at least he left a note!
#17. You Had One Job
Some people just can't be bothered, even when given simple and straight-forward instructions like buying a baby shower gift bag. This husband bought something that had absolutely nothing to do with the occasion.
In the male universe, duct tape is some sort of miracle worker that can fix almost anything. Well, this particular husband thought duct tape could save him from his mistake, and the result is both funny and cringe-worthy.
#16. Left Unsupervised
Any mom can relate to the feeling of uncertainty when leaving the baby with an unsupervised parent. Questions and fear invade a mom's mind as she wonders what she'll be greeted with this time.
Well, this mom left her husband with the baby for ten minutes and was greeted with a stick-on Hulk Hogan moustache and some villain-looking eyebrows. It's safe to say that this poor mommy has two kids, one is just overgrown.
#15. One Hungry Dad
Every new parent knows that the moment when the baby falls asleep is sacred. Sometimes it's so hard to finally have their child sleeping that mom and dad have to watch their every move not to wake the baby up.
This particular dad got hungry and had no choice but to improvise a table... Using his child's back. Well, he killed two birds with one stone so who are we to judge?
#14. Strange Priorities
Once anyone has a child it's time they get their priorities sorted out. Sometimes, one has to give up things like going out on the weekend and playing videogames, but this dad decided against it.
Instead of bonding with his newborn, this dad preferred to put the baby in a drawer in order to continue playing videogames and maintain his high score. At least he can keep a close eye one the baby!
#14. Too Literal
Some people are not the best cooks, and that's OK, but when this man's wife muttered the words "put the spaghetti on the stove" we're pretty sure she meant something different than what her husband ended up doing.
It's a mystery whether this husband was trying to play a joke or if he was a very literal person with no knowledge on how to cook pasta. Whatever the case may be, we're certain this one was probably scolded afterwards.
#12. A Resourceful Man
There are times when you just need that bit of extra sleep, and things like eye masks and blackout curtains are, sadly, a luxury few can afford. So this husband found a rather unique way to keep out those annoying morning rays.
We wonder if he was feeling a bit weak after a late night and this was all he could reach, or if he deliberately thought his wife's bra would be the perfect substitute for an eye mask. This wife should probably keep a close eye on her underwear.
#11. A Bit Too Excited
As we've said before, there's no guide to parenting but there are basic rules. Like, for instance, "don't give away your baby at a garage sale". Still, some dads need even the most common parenting rules spelled out for them.
This man's oblivious wife left him to watch out for the baby, but she returned to the poor thing being offered for free alongside a bunch of miscellaneous items. I don't agree on the baby being valued the same as a dirty old mop!
#10. Boss Baby
When parents are left to babysit their children, they have their own style. For example, this dad thought it would be hilarious to put his baby in a gigantic suit.
Whether he was trying to emulate Tim from The Boss Baby or was just bored, we're sure this man's wife thought his supposedly grown up husband would be mature about babysitting for once. The baby looks adorable, though!
#9. Useless But Apologetic
Cooking accidents happen. Fingers get cut and things get burned. That said, we wonder what made this husband think it would be a good idea to put the cutting board over the hob, which was burning hot. You can guess the result.
This kitchen fail is proof that some people can never be left alone and unsupervised when completing household tasks, no matter how simple these chores may seem. We hope this man learned his lesson.
#8. Lazy Bones
"Buy notepad". It's a pretty clear request, right? Well, apparently for this husband it wasn't detailed enough. His wife evidently forgot to tell him what's otherwise obvious: a notepad works better without their plastic wrapper.
We can't help but wonder if this husband didn't actually get the instructions properly or if he was just feeling particularly lazy that day. His wife will probably remember to spell everything out very, very clearly next time.
#7. An Attentive Babysitter
Some parents have very different ideas on how to spend quality time with their kids, so when this husband was asked to babysit his child, his wife probably imagined a different scenario.
Dad is pictured playing with his iPad while the baby lies on the wooden floor, several yards away and looking rather uncomfortable. Come on, look alive, dude!
#6. One Punny Man
Ah, puns. So classic and timeless. At least, that's what some people believe. Apparently when this man's wife asked him to go to the store for some frozen yoghurt, he saw the chance to pull an innocent dad-like prank.
A brave move, despite not being comedy gold. Still, as much as we believe puns are amusing, this could've ended with a rather unimpressed wife. Well, if that was the case, then she should just... Let it go.
#5. Original Prankster
While we are on the subject of husbands attempting to prank their wives, here's one man who took it one step further. All she asked for was a blanket for Christmas. Doesn't seem like an impossible request, right? Wrong.
Sure, there's one detail that's hard to ignore —the giant picture of the husband's face printed on it. It's a very original twist on an otherwise simple request, but his wife was probably not as amused as he was.
#4. One Helpful Man
Maybe this wife shouldn't have bought couch cushions that you can draw on, despite how pretty they look. Or maybe she should've known that when her husband volunteered to tidy, it meant that some sort of trouble awaited.
The man decided to add a touch of humor to the otherwise boring task, but we wonder if his wife enjoyed his little work of art.
#3. No Boys Allowed
When this wife confided in her husband the task of cleaning the dishwasher, she never imagined what would end up happening. Her sagacious partner thought that dishwashing liquid would most certainly do the work.
From the disaster of bubbles that can be seen in the picture, turns out that fairy liquid wasn't the best choice. "I am seriously concerned about his state of mind", she posted on Instagram.
#2. Good Intentions
This next picture is almost too painful to look at. This brave yet naive woman asked her husband to help her sharpen her lipstick. And the result is, well, disastrous.
Why did he think that a large kitchen knife was the right tool for the task? We'll never know. He probably had good intentions but that doesn't make things any better, does it?
#1. A Creative Fellow
Grocery shopping can sometimes be dreadfully boring, so when asked to take his child to the supermarket, this husband decided to get creative by sending his wife a picture of their child carrying a few bottles of beers in his tiny cart.
It's not the greatest example of responsible parenting, and we really hope the child stayed away from the alcoholic beverages, but we must admit he looks adorable. Hopefully the man's wife thought the same!
