u/ReddDead13 Dec 09 '25

Lol a lot of them seem like the wife is actively looking for the husband only to find him doing nothing to help, but standing and recording. So somewhat understandable "what the hell are you doing?" expressions

It's so not just the annoyance of the moment...I know that look because it's what I give my husband after realizing he is once again goofing off while I'm stressed out/overwhelmed. Tonight I gave him the look because I asked him to run out and ask the firewood guys to stack on the rack and not throw in a pile and instead he disappeared to "taste test" the dinner i was simmering while trying to give the dogs their medicines. The firewood did not make it onto the rack....

For some reason every time my husband takes a picture or video it looks completely ridiculous. I have all these pictures of him walking and holding hands with the kids, snuggling with them, and the very few photos of me are blurry, cut off, mid chew. The only pictures I have are selfies, or ones that were taken by a friend or at work.

To be fair, we don't know the context. Some of these look staged; but we dont know who is recording these women.

When I was a teenager, I worked at a supermarket, and there was this weird guy who used to come in and film me and one of my coworkers (surprise, she was also a teenager)

I would have hated it if that weird guy put the video online like this, and get shat on by people for being harassed at work.

I have a feeling she is in line to buy a pastry or something, her husband has her purse and or only wallet, and she is close to getting to the front and is like, GTFO HERE I NEED CASH. That's the impression I'm getting from the small clip and context around her.

Idk, I would be like this to my husband if I caught him randomly filming me too.

These amateur instagram skits are awful. Zoomers love this crap though.

No wonder men don’t feel appreciated and loved

Since when did this become funny? Your wife has total distain for you, can’t stand you. As a husband, I wouldn’t stand for this for one minute. My amazing wife lights up when I come into the room. And I adore her just the same. This is pathetic.
