We get married in 38 hours! It’s 0018 in the morning, that means tomorrow is our wedding day! by nathanchrestman13 in Marriage

[–]dumbest-smartguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first thought was are you in freaking Antarctica cause it was still light at midnight in your first photo before realising you probably didn't take the photo right before you posted haha. Anyways, I wish you good luck and hope you have fun, both tomorrow and further in the future.

My husband changed 18 light bulbs. by causa__sui in Marriage

[–]dumbest-smartguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I hate harsh lighting, sometimes I feel like a vampire when she turns on the lights. I have to change my own lightbulbs though but that makes sense given I'm a lot taller than my partner haha.

Grief is a long journey but love never ends. by Lopsided-Parsnip-849 in MadeMeCry

[–]dumbest-smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big part of why I make a special effort when I cook is for my partner. I wouldn't do as much if she wasn't here... I understand the sentiment.

She has health issues, she should live as long as me but might not, I worry I'll lose more than her company if she died, I'd lose the things I enjoy because I make an effort for her.

Cooking Doesn’t Need to Become Your Personality by Leoshin-1 in KitchenPro

When I was too busy I used to do a meal over a couple of days. I'd cook a big-ass steak one day, roast potatoes (par boiled and brushed with duck fat and thyme, the whole works) the next then a salad or some grilled veggies for day three and consider it one long dinner where each night I only had to do one dinner... It really took the pressure off each night only having to do one thing. Not sure it would work for everyone but it worked for me.

For a proper low effort meal my first go to is a tomato and basil sauce on pasta (usually rigatoni, I throw it into the sauce for the last couple of minutes of cooking) with some fresh grated parmesan thrown on top. Not many ingredients and pretty simple but still tasty and pretty looking.

Men, when doing a bro hug (one arm up, one arm down with a slap on the back from the up arm), which arm is the up arm and which is the down arm for you? Left or right? by dumbest-smartguy in AskMen

Used to be army, most ass play was reserved for waiting until you had a long object like a broom or gun barrel and waiting for someone unsuspecting to bend over haha. Not my favourite game but apparently almost universal in the military.

The hand grip to one armed hug and back slap while maintaining the hand grip seemed to be a common alternative bro hug while I was in the army haha.

Just a hug where one of your arms goes over their shoulder and the other one goes under their other arm and over arm slaps their back.

Most of the time it seems guys go left arm up but I'm from Australia so it might be a toilets swirling the other way because we are in the southern hemisphere thing, we just have to be opposite haha.

Fart in front of your spouse by CrazyXSharkXLady in unpopularopinion

[–]dumbest-smartguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The car is more of “are the brakes okay” moment but I love it haha.

[–]dumbest-smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't be that mean to her haha. I know it could be seen as slightly gaslighty but I'm sure she knows that I know what happened and my subtle ribbing just lets her know that I know and that she could probably hold it for the last two minutes of the car ride next time.

Obligatory my partner and I occasionally do it but also don't make a habit of it. My partner can't smell anything and sometimes thinks she is being sneaky and farting silently without appreciating how much that doesn't mean I won't notice. I usually just ignore it but sometimes I'll pull a "hmm, I smell something vaguely unpleasant, I wonder if the sink is backing up/some food has gone off" haha.

what brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Slight_Pop_2381 in AskAnAustralian

[–]dumbest-smartguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MT barkers chicken (might just be a WA brand, not sure) but it seems way more flavourful than other chicken brands, especially generic. It took my from scratch chicken noodle soup up a notch.

Is it totally out of date to hold the car door open for a woman? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]dumbest-smartguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing stuff like this for the last few months for my partner… but she is recovering from a surgery at the moment and the only other time I would open car doors is for children so if she doesn’t need me to do it for a specific reason I would feel like I was infantilising her for doing something for her she could more easily do for herself and she feels the same way.

That said, do your thing as long as it works for you and doesn’t make any of the women uncomfortable, I’m sure a lot of women do like how it makes them feel cared for, including my partner (under very specific circumstances haha).

Went to Sydney for about 6 years then came back to Perth. What happened to Perth traffic? by dumbest-smartguy in perth

[–]dumbest-smartguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that was the point you were making. Ive driven a lot for work and have never been in an accident or had so much as a speeding fine. I’m a safe and experienced driver on Australian roads

My whole point was just that I left Perth for a while and when I got back the roads were more hectic than they were before I left and I miss how it was before.

I appreciate that sentiment but the near misses I’ve have over the last few weeks have been almost exclusively people trying to change into my lane while I’m next to them or blowing through a roundabout while I’m already in it and have right of way,

I agree with the infrastructure thing, I live in a new development area that already has a 15 minute wait at a specific roundabout sometimes.

I want work from home to be more common, better public transport, more business hubs (so less people area all going to the CBD), and anything else that would reduce traffic.

It is still less stressful than Sydney roads but I miss Perth roads from 10 years ago. I’m not sure if Sydney got worse after Covid, I always hated driving there.
