Just sent this to my girlfriend (who is also an avid redditor). She had seen it already.

[–]CommandADelete 13 points14 points ago

Hahaha. The guy who introduced me to reddit forgets I use it and still links me to everything on the front page. But I never have the heart to tell him I've seen most of it before.

[–]HeWhoShitsWithPhone 6 points7 points ago

Showed my wife reddit. Now she knows that all of my random facts are not things I have remembered for years but something I read that day in TIL.

Edit: oh dear God the spelling. i should just never comment on iPhone.

[–]SpartacusMcGinty 7 points8 points ago

I think I understand what you just said.

[–]cuddles_the_destroye 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a case of keyboardigus transplatis, when the keyboard shifts slightly when typing.

I recommend some new rubber stops and a good old fashioned whipping for the cure.

[–]statusisnotquo 11 points12 points ago

I introduced my guy to reddit. And he knows I spend easily twice as much time on here as he does. Yet he still tells me about all the cool links he sees.

But it's cute when they do it, isn't it? :)

[–]Bluemoon_333 1 point2 points ago

You know they're a pro-redditor when they start sending you very few that you've already seen!

[–]jhady 0 points1 point ago

You must really care about that guy

[–]khdutton[S] 34 points35 points ago

... but she hasn't seen your comment.

Yet.

Better hurry.

[–]imyourplusone 9 points10 points ago

... This never happens. I'm losing my touch.

[–]crimtex 5 points6 points ago

And boom goes the dynamite. Reddit couple ftw.

[–]txjennah 1 point2 points ago

Just sent it to my boyfriend...he reddits more than I do so I'm sure he's seen it already as well.

[–]Brick50 1 point2 points ago

DAMMIT, I just did the same thing to my girlfriend, and she saw the top comment before me too . . . . No Karma and lots of shame for me tonight.

[–]agrajag119 0 points1 point ago

Sent it to my gf. Her response : Pretty much... though I haven't seen that one yet.

First time that has ever happened.

[–]gemcitytiffany 57 points58 points ago

My husband isn't a redditor...

Him: Honey, did you see-

Me: Yeah... like a week ago.

[–]OmegaVesko 26 points27 points ago

My sister is even worse. She comes to me with Youtube videos that went viral a year or two ago.

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points ago

My mom always does this too. She's still really touched by Susan Boyle.

[–]OmegaArcadia 4 points5 points ago

But was it consensual touching?

[–]thepopdog 18 points19 points ago

Is your sister Daniel Tosh?

[–]kawaiiassbutthole 1 point2 points ago

Meh, I feel like newer episodes of that show are actually pretty good at picking up on newer stuff. Stuff that I saw on reddit.tv usually takes a few weeks to show up on the show.

[–]knowledgeispower1 1 point2 points ago

Hahahah this joke again!

[–]foreveraskeptic 5 points6 points ago

Ditto, but my husband is my wife.

[–]HeWhoShitsWithPhone 3 points4 points ago

Post marriage sex change??

[–]foreveraskeptic 2 points3 points ago

You're right. I typo'd.

It should read "Ditto, but my husband was my wife"

[–]Neurofiend 2 points3 points ago

My girlfriend uses Facebook, this happens all the time

[–]FungusAmongus13 1 point2 points ago

That's so true! My husband doesn't reddit, either.

[–]joehouin 14 points15 points ago

My lady is more of a tumblr...er? So more often than not it's:

Her: Have you seen this? Me: Yes. Her: Why didn't you show it to me?!

[–]Ceejae 4 points5 points ago

And then BAM, divorce.

[–]Lixtec 0 points1 point ago

Dude... yes.

[–]ArrenPawk 32 points33 points ago

As one half of a reddit couple, I can confirm this. Although we've actually been discussing less of the reddit content lately, and more of the fact that I'm gaining on her in karma, and will soon have enough to overtake her.

[–]Lurkingswife 11 points12 points ago

My first or second comment on reddit landed me more karma then my husband had accrued in his 18 months...he was not amused.

[–]FortunePaw 15 points16 points ago

It's on /gonewild, isn't it.

[–]Lurkingswife 2 points3 points ago

No, it was a comment that implied having sex in a canoe, I have yet to post or comment in /gonewild, I leave that to the hubby.

[–]OmegaArcadia 2 points3 points ago

So you're saying there's a chance?

[–]Lurkingswife 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]FortunePaw 1 point2 points ago

[–]almosteeen58 4 points5 points ago

I think you mean 7th comment, not counting deleted posts.

[–]Lurkingswife 1 point2 points ago

Possibly, I pay no attention honestly :)

[–]hrehbfthbrweer 1 point2 points ago

Well, he IS a lurker, isn't he?

[–]Lurkingswife 1 point2 points ago

Mostly, but he comments, his screen name is lurking, I had nothing original to use to I stole most of his. I figured it was the reddit equivalent of taking on his last name.

[–]BravoMikeZero 6 points7 points ago

Once you overtake her, never let her forget it.

Never.

[–]briarbeauty 2 points3 points ago

You mean, once I overtake him, never let him forget it. Will do ;)

[–]HeWhoShitsWithPhone 2 points3 points ago

I have a very competitive wife, so I post under several usernames waiting for the perfect time to show her the combined karma total, then laugh manically!

[–]laddergoat89 0 points1 point ago

I have like 400x the karma of my ladypartner, I think I'm safe for now.

Of course she couldn't care less.

[–]upward_dog 10 points11 points ago

This is my boyfriend & I multiple times a day. I just sent the link to him, waiting for the "already saw it babe" text....lol

[–]nyantardis 5 points6 points ago

put a bird on it.

[–]radical2 4 points5 points ago

cacao

[–]productiveparker 4 points5 points ago

exactly what I thought of.

[–]roxydoodles 9 points10 points ago

I doubt any reddit couple is that attractive...we all wish.

[–]nyantardis 17 points18 points ago

SHUT UP I'M BEAUTIFUL AND SO IS MY BOYFRIEND sob sob

[–]Jupit0r 7 points8 points ago

My girlfriend and I are pretty attractive lol.

[–]madcatlady 5 points6 points ago

Our girlfriend seems to agree...

[–]Xelopheris -1 points0 points ago

"lol" is not punctuation. Stop ending sentences with it.

[–]hayashirice911 23 points24 points ago

Well technically he ended the sentence with a period. lol

[–]phasmy 8 points9 points ago

You stop that right now!!

[–]Siethron 6 points7 points ago

You stop that right nowlol

FTFY

[–]hayashirice911 6 points7 points ago

You stop that right nowlol

FTFYlol

FTFYlol

[–]zephyy 5 points6 points ago

lol

[–]ARobins 2 points3 points ago

LOLlol

[–]Jupit0r 0 points1 point ago

Yes captain, I'll get right on that. Oh wait. I won't, lol.

[–]nomnom_69 0 points1 point ago

BUT PPL SHARE MY FBOOK STATUS SO YOUR WRONG SO DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO ONLY GOD CAN

[–]amazingboy97 3 points4 points ago

This is my roommate and I my freshman year of college.

[–]brittanylogic 4 points5 points ago

So true. My boyfriend and I are gradually running out of things to talk about now that I've joined this side of the internet

[–]txjennah 4 points5 points ago

I sent this to my boyfriend and he hadn't seen it. This made me strangely proud that I FOUND IT FIRST

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I can actually that this is the truth. One of my last boyfriends was a redditor, too, and all we talked about sometimes was what was on here...

[–]alphaorionis 5 points6 points ago

I think you accidentally a word.

[–]BravoMikeZero 2 points3 points ago

I am fairly sure my girlfriend hasnt seen this yet. Gonna meta this shit up and confuse her by telling her about it before she sees it!

Gillian if you see this, this is the past, present and future of our relationship and also we should finish Lego Harry Potter :D

[–]TheCrazedMadman 2 points3 points ago

Pretty much everyone in my office is a redditor and when that question comes up, we....you know...talk about it instead of the conversation just stopping there (granted, this doesnt work with everything)

[–]madcatlady 2 points3 points ago

Madness!

[–]DevmasterJ 2 points3 points ago

Girlfriend: Hey look what my friend posted on facebook.

Me: WOULD YOU GO ON REDDIT ALREADY?!?!?!?!??!

[–]Djank1 2 points3 points ago

This is why I use incognito mode while Redditing. She's not even aware of my habbit

[–]robotwholearned88 2 points3 points ago

And I showed it to him, and he said "I've seen it"

[–]Rowdy10 2 points3 points ago

This just happened with my wife and I, about this post.

Whoa...

[–]MajorButtface 2 points3 points ago

My girlfriend and I are literally doing this right now, except she is on the phone and I am on the macbook and we are naked.

[–]Ceejae 2 points3 points ago

The girl's face looks like she's on /r/spacedicks...

[–]digmachine 2 points3 points ago

Started dating a redditor recently. Every once in a great while, something slips between the cracks and I get to tell him about it. Not often, though...

[–]JDizzle69 4 points5 points ago

Is that Rodger Federer?

[–]phearsom_fysic 1 point2 points ago

it looks like Tom cruise

[–]BravoMikeZero 1 point2 points ago

Can't be, he's been too busy recently crushing the hopes and dreams of the British public :(

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 1 point2 points ago

FUCK YOU AND YOUR DREAMS! SWITZERLAND, Yes please.

[–]paddysteed 0 points1 point ago

Is that Edward Cullen?

[–]hereforthecatpics 1 point2 points ago

Truth

[–]Ladybugslover 1 point2 points ago

This was me and my boyfriend for a while :)

[–]mabonner 1 point2 points ago

This just happened, with this very post.

[–]madcatlady 1 point2 points ago

"Haha, Hey honey i"

"Red-dit"

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Not just couples. This happens with all my redditor friends.

I should have never shown them this site.

[–]aryst0krat 1 point2 points ago

People say this like it's dysfunctional or at least not ideal, but at the same time, it's exactly what sports fans do. "Did you see the big submission last night?" "Yeah, OP_redditor6969 went for 3000 karma! It was crazy!" "They're saying it might have been a repost, though."

Heck, comments = commentators.

[–]Beartor 0 points1 point ago

This happens every day with my hubby

[–]phearsom_fysic 1 point2 points ago

just a question, how can he have seen it on a shittty phone like that?

[–]kourogi 1 point2 points ago

Yep, that's pretty accurate.

[–]HousewifeLife 1 point2 points ago

This is so relevant...my dad was in surgery all day today, and while waiting, this is how most of our conversations went after the first couple hours!

[–]khdutton[S] 0 points1 point ago

Tell him to get well soon. :-)

[–]HousewifeLife 1 point2 points ago

Thanks! He is feeling much better now that his heart is...working ;).

[–]sydneyfoodie 1 point2 points ago

My partner is a long-time lurker, I've just made an account in the past few days, but the "have you seen this?" conversation has turned around and I've seen everything first. Making an account really does offer more of your soul..

[–]shockhead 1 point2 points ago

My friend and I were doing this and decided to move to one screen. This is the first link we clicked on together. High fives!

[–]pile_alcaline 1 point2 points ago

I already Reddit!

[–]Osricthebastard 1 point2 points ago

Postception. Just showed my SO and she'd already seen it.

[–]mybestlaidplans 1 point2 points ago

This except she doesn't just stop talking about what you already saw.

[–]geekgirlshavemorefun 1 point2 points ago

True story...

[–]OneCello 1 point2 points ago

My girlfriend is a redditor, and I am weirdly proud of the fact that she will never have anywhere close to the amount of karma I have.

[–]DantesDame 1 point2 points ago

I just turned the laptop to my husband next to me on the couch to show him this picture.

He nodded knowingly...

[–]pac_stuck 1 point2 points ago

Need to show this to my coworker who is a new redditor. Pops out of his cube a few times each day to ask me if i've seen something on r/wtf.

[–]kittyy 1 point2 points ago

My boyfriend doesn't go on reddit on his own, but he'll sit beside me for longer than I'd like to admit when I browse and giggle along side me. However I often get a "BABY! Baby look at this!" and he'll show me a new interesting/funny picture on facebook then get somewhat mock angry at me because I have seen literally everything he has shown me. reddit is destroying the cute in relationships. But it's ok.

[–]namesrhardtothinkof 1 point2 points ago

My friend brought me to reddit, and our conversations have devolved to this.

[–]Zmb3 2 points3 points ago

My poor husband. He can't show me anything I haven't already seen... I'm a housewife and I browse all reddits, he works all day.

[–]effinmetal 1 point2 points ago

Roommates, too.

[–]Banjokaboomi16 1 point2 points ago

This happens to me everyday.

[–]vincentpriceisdead 1 point2 points ago

This is mainly how you know the difference between my boyfriend and the guys I work with. My boyfriend I won't tell I've already seen whatever link it is, I just say what my initial reaction was when I saw it on my own. My office mates just get "oh yeah, I saw that on Reddit." For good measure I add "and no, you can't feel my vagina."

[–]jozhop 1 point2 points ago

A daily occurrence for me, yet I wouldn't trade my favorite Redditor for anything :P

[–]kittykels420 1 point2 points ago

I can't reddit as often as my IT boyfriend so he sees a lot before me.... We often find a few one or the other have never seen before though, when that happens it's pretty exciting!

[–]fubbington 1 point2 points ago

There are reddit couples now?

[–]clevernameforreddit 1 point2 points ago

Truth.

[–]Claerwyne 1 point2 points ago

My boyfriend and I do that. Sigh...what happened to the times where we didn't talk about Reddit...

[–]shoracer 1 point2 points ago

She had not seen it yet. Wooo hooo. Didn't hear the dreaded "Yeah".

[–]abandonfish 0 points1 point ago

REPOST.

[–]shoracer 1 point2 points ago

Oh, it's going to be that kind of battle. Game on little missy.

[–]Sheogorggalag 1 point2 points ago

Is true...

[–]jmaline19 1 point2 points ago

Happened not 3 minutes ago and then we saw this.

[–]openbracket_ 1 point2 points ago

reddit couple? surely that doesn't exist..

[–]hapjap 1 point2 points ago

The part that really gets me is there's nothing else to discuss about it either after looking at the comments.

[–]dodon_GO 1 point2 points ago

My wife and I. Every evening.

[–]slightlysavvy 1 point2 points ago

fuck moobeat sees everything before me. EVERYTHING.

[–]Tops_Blooby 1 point2 points ago

This is exactly what me and my brother do! (he was the one who introduced me to reddit.)

[–]iLuVtiffany 1 point2 points ago

...the front page of r/gonewild?

Busted.

[–]obsessedwithcats 1 point2 points ago

When my boyfriend and I skype each other, we don't talk. We just send each other reddit links back and forth.

[–]SARS11 1 point2 points ago

My boyfriend introduced me to reddit before we started dating. I actually made an account before he did but he seems to spend a lot more time on here than I do. So whenever I send him stuff he has usually seen it. I still do it though cause its not every time. We like to share

[–]alexbro001 1 point2 points ago

So if I get my girlfriend onto reddit, I can be Tom Cruise?

[–]Wardog1982 1 point2 points ago

I wish i could give a bucket of upvotes for how true this shit is.

[–]hungryghostfood 1 point2 points ago

you know you got it bad when... you reddit together and talk on the phone at the same time, long distance. except, there's not much talking, only bouts of laughter followed by something she found in /r/funny.

how did a hunter/gatherer species turn into this?

[–]LunaFairy 1 point2 points ago

I just introduced hubby to Reddit, this is our last week!!!! Should NEVER have introduced him :(

[–]koolgoben 1 point2 points ago

This was on the front page just today...

[–]khdutton[S] -4 points-3 points ago

The content is mine.

It was yanked by the AdviceAnimal mods.

[–]Hammerfist_Pucconi 1 point2 points ago

I've seen this joke a few times before either of your posts, man...Not to be a dick or anything. Just be careful what you call 'yours.'

[–]khdutton[S] 1 point2 points ago

Understood and acknowledged. Also, don't worry - you're not being a dick. Believe me, I know dicks!

[–]toobaddd 1 point2 points ago

I know a guy name Dick too.

[–]Sigh_No_More 1 point2 points ago

That doesn't mean he's seen it. He could have very well come up with it on his own, it's just that someone else thought of it first.

[–]Hammerfist_Pucconi 1 point2 points ago

Word. I'm right with you. I don't doubt he came up with it on his own, I'm just saying be careful claiming ownership on the internet.

[–]schimmdog23 0 points1 point ago

BULL SHIT I WAS THE NEW QUEUE

[–]aliensexaddict 0 points1 point ago

Multiply attractiveness by 0.01, now it works

[–]CapnCloudchaser 0 points1 point ago

Sad but true, although my husband isn't a Redditor and gets all his funnies from Facebook. For shaaaame! He says I spend too much time on the Internet... Also sad but true :(

[–]fermionox 0 points1 point ago

My girlfriend no longer thinks I'm as funny or original now that she's discovered Reddit. sad face :(

[–]drewdistilled 0 points1 point ago

Find stock photo. Add text you can relate to. Gather karma.

[–]ThatFeel_IKnowIt -1 points0 points ago

This is basically exactly what happens every time i try to show my GF something I found on Reddit.

[–]gtwillwin 0 points1 point ago

This happens with me brother and I.

[–]boonofox 0 points1 point ago

Best part is that I knew exactly what it would say from the title.

[–]weRtheD 0 points1 point ago

except not as gorgeous?

[–]smittyddude 0 points1 point ago

Did you see that re post, yeah i saw that re post

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Ha! This is soooo my husband and I-- sitting in the same room both Redditing on our iPads. But he's a lurker and I comment so I feel more than a little smug. Even though I get down voted like a mofo. Meh.

[–]WunderWoman 0 points1 point ago

My boyfriend is currently away training with the marines. I sent this to him. It made me miss him so much more.

[–]jsn0x -1 points0 points ago

If I had a dollar for every rehash of this I'd be pretty rich.

[–]YNinja58 -1 points0 points ago

At least once a week a version of this hits my front page.

[–]Sizzleby -1 points0 points ago

You know why this happens? I can tell you.

Obviously if both these people had access to many interesting things they've found, one is bound to find something cool the other hasn't. That is not the case though. The front page is largely garbage so when he or she does find something cool, the other respectively seen it because it was amongst a whole bunch of trash.

[–]fultron -1 points0 points ago

[–]twofacefan12 -1 points0 points ago

Never seen that one before OP...

[–]lummyD -1 points0 points ago

wtf dude that's pretty much my post 12 days ago.

[–]1arrow24 -2 points-1 points ago

HA! How did you know!?
