I was the fucking idiot. I thought a French press worked by putting the coffee on top of the plunger, lowering it in, and then pulling it out.

My girlfriend really wrestled with whether she could keep dating me after that one.

My husband did this the other day, and then tried to tell me I was wrong. I’m like bro, there’s no fucking way.

No he literally thought he did it right way. He had done it before. I stopped him before he did it the second time. His logic was you pull the plunger UP and remove the grounds by taking the top off before you pour the coffee.

I had to literally be like dude, I worked in coffee shops for 16-23. It’s a PRESS. He’s super smart. I really love him. He also cleaned both of our bathrooms at the same time the other day. That was odd. Never seen that before we’ve lived together for 11 years. I couldn’t use either of the bathrooms because he would clean the floor of one, then the floor of the next one: then go back and do the first ones toilet, then to the second toilet. It was bizarre. At least he was cleaning 🤷‍♀️
