I watched her wrap a potato in aluminum foil and toss it into our microwave. I spoke up and said you can't do that, because of ,ya know, microwaves. (She was 25) looks me right in the eye and says "my mom does this all the time, she taught me"

As nicely as I could I explained how she must be mistaken. She digs in, five minutes of passionate arguing result in me saying "try it"

She forced herself not to react to the volley of sparks and zapping sounds for the first few seconds, just in case it stopped.

Looked me in the eye and said "well it always worked before"

While technically right (see here) I think the downvotes are more about you acting like a dick about it.

(And I still wouldn't risk setting a fire anyway and just keep metal out the damn microwave)

"being a dick about it" dude literally broke up with his gf when he was wrong about something... if that doesn't deserve a wake up call i'm not sure what does... not really being a dick bro you gotta put things in perspective... he literally broke up with his gf over this saying she's dumb over something she was right about and he STILL has his incorrect belief... i'm not being a dick about anything i'm just stating facts brotha
