If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that men will find new and baffling ways to leave women absolutely stunned. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s frustrating, and sometimes it’s so absurd that it deserves its own category of what even is this?
Women have shared some of the most mind-blowing, ridiculous, and downright confusing experiences they’ve had with men, and we’ve rounded up the best (or worst) examples.
Get ready for a mix of facepalms, secondhand embarrassment, and a few moments that might make you cringe.

5. “Not Staying The Night At My New BF’s House With His Pillow Situation”
“Ok, I (28f) went over to my boyfriend’s (25m) house for the first time (been dating about a month), and I had somehow never noticed his pillow situation before. When I noticed, I made a comment about how long he’s had the pillows and apparently he’s been using them since he was a kid.
So, I asked him if he had any other pillows and he said he just had the pillow on the left of the first picture, but that his cat usually sleeps on it. I said I don’t really want to sleep on those pillows, and id prefer to sleep at my own place (with clean pillows).
His response? He waited for a minute and then said he would be sad to see that I would choose something as small as pillows come between us spending the night together, but that if I needed to go, that he understood.
I ended up going home and spending the night at my own house instead. I asked if I could bring my own pillows and gently suggested he get rid of his. He said it was totally fine for me to bring a pillow, but that he wouldn’t get rid of his, as they are ‘sentimental’.
Thoughts? I feel like I can’t even kiss him or anything while we’re sleeping because I don’t want him to get his gross pillowness all over me and my clean pillows.”

I’ve used rubbing alcohol which is turning the paper towel blue at least but the stains remain on the dryer plus I have doubts of running this thing with all that alcohol on there it’ll explode. I need help!
I attempted a small bit of oven cleaner that did nothing, also goo gone did nothing. I guess I’ll be going to a laundromat until then.”
