So today my fiancé and I are relaxing in our room. Background knowledge, we sometimes partake in enjoying edibles, and today is one of those days. My fiancé and I are very giggly when we’re stoned and even when we’re not we are the type of people that laugh when we have dumb moments. Our dumb moments usually become our inside jokes to tease eachother with. It’s also worth noting that my fiancé jokingly calls me the tech wizard because I am usually a lot more tech savvy than her and I tend to have the magic touch for malfunctioning devices.
Now to today, my fiancé is a little sick and asked me to make her some tea to help her sore throat. We have a kurig in our room that sits on a desk. The cord hangs behind the desk near the outlet and we plug it in to use the kurig. When the kurig is unplugged there is a fan and a lamp plugged into the outlet, so one has to be unplugged to use the kurig. I unplugged the lamp, then without plugging the kurig in, put the mug under the spout and pressed the button.
Nothing happened obviously and my stoned mind could not, for the life of me, figure out why the kurig wasn’t working. I pressed the buttons a few more times before turning to my fiancé, who is both sick and stoned, and saying “I dont know why it’s not working. Did we somehow break it?” She took a glance under the desk and goes “Well is it plugged in?” I took a moment to process those words and then said “I couldnt find the cord.” She just smirked and goes “So, just to make sure I understand, you couldnt find the cord, so you didn’t plug it in, and now you aren’t sure why it isn’t working.” This is one of those dumb moments that I will never live down.
TL;DR: I tryed to use the kurig without plugging it in and my fiancé made fun of me for it.

Get a power strip they’re like $15
If she’s a she, she’s a fiancée, not a fiancé.
All these “I was so stoned that…” stories are not cute.
I think your story is cute and yeah you’ll never live it down and it’s just one of the many inside jokes that’ll keep your bond going. Brightened my day 🙂
You’re not alone:
Many years ago, when my wife and I were still dating, we took a bus trip to the shore. We had a hotel and, at the time, I hadn’t been in many hotels so I was eager to try out everything hotel living had to offer.
We hit the boardwalk for a while and then came back to the hotel bar. I had always heard Long Island iced teas were good so I decided that’s what I would have. I didn’t know what was in them but I liked the way they tasted and so I had 3 of them in a relatively short period. I also tried some of the drinks my wife ordered so, as someone who doesn’t drink often, I got really drunk.
When we went to our room, my wife decided to get a shower and I decided I wanted to try room service. I picked up the phone and tried to call but there was no dial tone. I started looking at the phone, the cord, even pulled the bed away from the wall to make sure everything was plugged in, which it was.
When my wife came out of the shower I explained that the phone wasn’t working as I held the handset to my ear. She said, “It’s not plugged in,” which I refuted because I had checked everything. Then she pointed to the handset and I realized that the cord connecting it to the rest of the phone had been dangling beside my head the whole time I was trying to use it. Decided I was probably too drunk to be awake so I skipped room service and went to bed. She still makes fun of me for that.
Dang. Bro posts a nice little life story and 2/3 commenters shit on him.
I’m suddenly not so certain that the enshitification of the internet is entirely the fault of corporations.
What a gripping story.

At least you didn’t loose your cats in your basement
Yea, electrical and electronic equipment usually work better when they are plugged in.
You had the excuse of being drunk.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of people who instead choose the excuse of the equipment being vaguely related to a computer to decide that normal rules don’t apply.
Another reddit loser doing drugs…
I’ve been so high that I forgot where my feet were 😂
Did you make the mistake of saying, “These edibles ain’t shit” and taking another?
I needed this giggle
Now I am completely convinced Americans are the most concentrated collection of idiots on this planet.
Fuck Israel.
Free Palestine.
Tea? From a Keurig? That’s the real TIFU.
Hahaha I can so see myself doing this! My phone wouldn’t charge one time and after about 15 minutes of troubleshooting, I told my fiancé how frustrated I was and I probably needed to get the charging port replaced on my phone. He got up, walked over to the power strip it was plugged into and turned it on. My phone started charging! Imagine that! Hahaha I do things like this fairly often. It’s almost always after I have a gummy. Does that make me quit? Hell no! It just makes it more funny when I do!
Life is way too hard to take yourself too seriously. It is far more fun if you can laugh at yourself in these moments. It’s way better than ridiculing and berating yourself or your partner. I always say my brain is like a metropolis road system, and sometimes my thoughts go the wrong way down a one way and shit happens.
Thank you for sharing your story. It made me giggle. 😊
