We recently took a look at a viral Reddit thread asking, "What’s the weirdest thing that you and your partner do together?" and their adorable (and odd) answers sparked even MORE great responses from our very own BuzzFeed Community!
So with that in mind, here are more of the silliest, strangest, most wholesome things shared:
1."My parents do this thing where they fist-bump and make the little engravings on their wedding rings fit together, then yell, 'RING POWER!' This is made funnier by the fact that they're both in their 60s and otherwise very serious people."
2."We have five stuffed animals (four penguins and a red panda) that we treat as our children. We have actually lost arguments with our imaginary toddler — who is actually a stuffed penguin — many times."
3."There's a GIF of Elmo sitting on the toilet doing a little dance where he twists his upper torso back and forth. Not sure how this started, but anytime my husband or I poop, we text that GIF to the other person so they know!"
5."My husband and I have a plastic severed Halloween finger that we hide around the house for the other person to find. Several years ago, he wrapped it up as a Christmas gift for me."
7."At least 95% of communication between my boyfriend and me is random noises. We get each other so well that we can tell what the other person is saying (or asking for) just by the tone of whatever noises we're bouncing back and forth. We started doing this when we moved in together in March, and I love it."
8."If I'm being flirty with with my husband, he'll look around kind of slowly and then look at me and say something along the lines of, 'Listen, lady, my wife is gonna be back soon, and she wouldn't like you touching me like that!' He is ridiculous in the best ways, and he's my best friend."
9."My boyfriend has a sixth sense for calling me when I'm using the bathroom — we don't live together. One day, I stated offhand that I 'must have beacons lit whenever I'm in there.' Now if he calls while I'm in there, I just text, 'The beacons are lit!' And he replies, 'Gondor calls for aid.' I'm hoping this will carry on once we cohabitate, but more audibly."
10."My husband and I flirt via text in Old English–type conversations. For example, he might say, 'Ye eyes are as bright as the stars that shineth upon the darkest of night.' And I might respond with, 'My breath quicken like the wind upon thy hill when ye sayth thou things to me!' (Normally it gets dirtier and funnier and makes a boring day at work better.)"
11."My husband and I have a version of 'punch buggy,' but with littered banana peels (not bananas, but just the peels when they're discarded improperly — you’d be surprised how often/where they appear). The first person to spot one grabs the other's upper arm and rapidly rubs up and down, like it’s a pole. No idea why, and the year of origin is a family urban legend. Once, there was a whole pile of banana peels on a city corner, and let's just say it was a SPECTACLE."
13."We make foot rub bets on stupid things. Like, we'll be watching a show together that neither of us has seen, and one of us will say, 'I bet a three-minute foot rub that the next person to walk in has a red shirt on!' and the other person decides to take the bet or not."
14."Whenever we're in an elevator together, my husband and I pretend we don’t know each other and accidentally 'stumble' into each other. This has been going on for 28 years."
15."We were once driving in my boyfriend's car and a pigeon was in the street, but it didn't seem to be moving. I panicked, and for some reason I yelled, 'Squirrel!' The pigeon flew away at the last minute, and that's the reason why, every once in a while when one of us sees an animal that is NOT a squirrel, we have to point and yell, 'Squirrel!'"
16."My boyfriend and I are long distance, so when we have to hang up a call, we say, 'Three, two, one...BREAK!' and then whoever has to leave first MUST hang up the call. It’s something that is so simple, but I adore it."
17."My boyfriend and I 'kill' each other all the time by pretending to stab the other person, and it's always when the other person doesn't expect it. Like, I'll go in for a kiss or cuddle, then 'stab' him in the gut. Also, if you get stabbed, you have to commit to 'dying' (falling on the floor, etc.)."
18."My husband and I place bets on when our food delivery will come. The Price Is Right rules. The winner gets a new umbrella (which is a whole other story)...17 years and counting!"
19."Whenever my fiancé bends over, I make a fart noise with my mouth. It makes us laugh every single time. It sounds so stupid, but it never gets old."
21."I've never been a huge Tom Cruise fan, but my boyfriend is because he's impressed by how good he is at stunts. So he got into the habit — whenever I'd give in and watch a Tom Cruise movie — of pointing out when it was actually Tom Cruise doing a cool stunt, in an attempt to make me appreciate him more. However, this has now evolved into pointing at any random actor (or inanimate object), during any movie, during any scene, and quietly whispering to the other, 'Did you know that's actually Tom Cruise?'"
22."He sings to the cat and I go along with it. We recently noticed we have now made a full song for the cat, with choreography and everything. It grants us laughs every time."
23.And finally: "My husband and I text 'bonk' to each other randomly throughout the day. It means everything: 'Hello,' 'I love you,' 'I'm thinking about you,' 'You smell like a goat' — all concisely captured in one word. 'Bonk.' Then, during allergy season, we occasionally text 'mnonk.'"
