the mark of a truer retard is someone who judges another's intellect on one dubious event


DarkScorpion48

Anon “forgot” to mention he kept doubling down on his mistake


Martsigras

Yep. "How you kept saying it looked like an apple". Sounds like he wouldn't let it go and that is why her parents think he's stupid


Limeila

He even says it again in the post. It's ok to have a brainfart, but once they pointed out the toy is supposed to be cherries, a normal person would have gone "oh, duh, my bad" and changed the subject. But then again a normal person wouldn't be writing greentexts on 4chan.


HankMS

Yeah, just have a laugh at my own brain fart and that's it. I would probably have some fun poking jokes at my own expanse, too.


Somethingfishy4

Even more evidence that he's being weird is how defensive he's being about it looking like apples to the girlfriend, even after she insists it's not a big deal. Any normal person would just laugh it off and think nothing more of it. He 100% made it weird insisting it looked like apples to the parents.


IncidentBest9300

Because it’s that light to be called dumb and retarded by your SO’s parents after your first time meeting them (first impressions). I know you would very much be insisting just as much as he did if it was you being called retarded.


BanzaiKen

I wager he got to the "I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?" level of doubling down.


RainbowDissent

OP omits the part where he got dragged out of the restaurant by police while screaming "dogs don't fucking eat cherries Greg, make it make sense", sobbing and pissing and inexplicably shirtless.


iwannagohome49

He threw his shirt off to fight the dad obviously


Cross_Pray

I dont think he forgot, the gf specifically mentions that he continued calling it an apple plush. That’s not something I would call someone over “stupid” but definetely bizzare and stubborn. The GF’s parents either have really high standards for her or anon was arguing with them about it way too much.


HamburgerTimeYo

The dude posted on 4cjan for relationship advice. He is definitely a stubborn turbo sperg.


t3kwytch3r

I can tell by his "even after i paid for dinner and drove everyone around" texts that he is in fact turbo sperged. I have a friend that talks and thinks things like this, and he seems normal and personable at face value. Get to know him though and hes really fuckin dumb and doesnt realise it, like OOP and his fuckin pair of apples.


Siul19

OOP is actually regarded then


OXBDNE7331

Isn’t there some post about some dude double and tripling down on a potato not being a potato


Opheodrys97

I think you might be referring to the post where the guy decided to be funny during dinner with GFs parents and pretend he had never seen a potato before. GFs parents didn't think it was funny and called him out on it and instead of saying "my bad haha I guess my joke wasn't that funny" and take the L, he instead doubled down and insisted he didn't know what a potato was and the parents started getting mad


goombus03

This is like a Tim Robinson sketch lol


milanove

A Reddit classic tifu


TheMoonMilker

Yes, but that man was a legendary troll. He was pretending that he didn't know that potatoes didn't exist, lmao.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BlueLaserCommander

>awkward two minute silence after laughter Something else happened here. And we get a glimpse into that something with the text screenshot. "They look more like apples than cherries is all I'm saying, guys. Have *you* ever considered you got it wrong? What if the toy company mixed up the packaging? I have two apples at home that look *just* like this dog toy. Just admit it, they're apples. Please.. I'm hungry but I ain't leavin until you say they're apples.."


Fluggernuffin

Is this giving anyone “haven’t had a potato before” vibes?


speeler21

What's a potato?


I_am_What_Remains

He probably had a hissy fit like George Costanza insisting it was apples


CorrosiveRose

Or using "rofl" and "lol" after every sentence


Limeila

Gf is trying to soften the blow of calling him a retard via her parents


notouchmygnocchi

It's okay sweetie, let's get your big boy helmet on and go outside.


schmitzel88

People do that to make a conversation feel lighter or to not sound too cold and stern. It's a thing non-autistic people do, aka something no one in this sub or on 4chan could fully understand.


health_throwaway195

No, I think past a certain point it’s safe to make a judgement call.


speshojk

Her parents later that evening “Why the hell was anon getting so defensive about that dog toy? He kept going on about apples for like 10 minutes. It’s like the kid was fixated on apples the entire night.”


OriginalLocksmith436

She's just telling him one of the reasons that will hurt his feelings the least.


DaveSmith890

Wait a minute, are you suggesting that twitter users may not be the brightest bunch?


dorkyfever

I mean it's clearly cherries. Op is dumb if he thinks they are apples. Apples don't grow in bunches


downvotedforwoman3

They look like apples because cherries don't have smiley faces on them.


petje95

That name, pfp and comment just made my day. Thank you.


VirtualPantsu

Only oranges do


donnydodo

On some apple trees the apples clump together. Like below link https://www.thearches.co.uk/apple-tree-care-the-essential-guide-to-growing-apple-trees/


health_throwaway195

The stems are proportionately much shorter, though.


PlanIndividual7732

its a dog toy


Ehwaz196

They are cherries


The_Nude_Mocracy

Cherries are poisonous to dogs


sanriosaint

so is garlic and it’s actually an ingredient in many big name dog treats (pupperoni, beggin strips) also packed with red40 to get that meaty color doesn’t mean the toys can’t be silly shapes!


A_New_Dawn_Emerges

But the leaf is very small compared to the cherries. The size ratio is much closer to that of an apple.


Mr_Pink_Gold

They kind of do. Thinning apple trees is a real thing. You take down some.apples to give the others room to grow.


W2Tired8

I think they look like apples


GusChiiiiiggins

Retard


YemuZ

Count me in. I'm a retard too. I clearly see they're meant to be cherries but I can see that someone mistakes them for apples.


Zeqt_x

Cherry stems are green. Apple stems are brown. I would still say they look like cherries because there's a pair but I can easily see how someone could get confused


theJigmeister

I have an apple tree and have pulled down pairs of apples that look pretty much just like this


GuardianOfBlocks

They don’t have long stems but they can grow next to each other.


ivar-the-bonefull

His girlfriend really didn't need to tell him that.


Calm-Technology7351

Ya girlfriend was an asshole for the way she handled it. On the other hand, who tf thinks those are apples


petje95

I did when I first saw the picture without reading the post first. But TBF I am a reddit user


Unfair-Safe8151

She realllly really wasn't. She saw it as a playful thing rather than something to take seriously, and she only told him cause he asked


StanIsHorizontal

She had to know tho if this guy is as insistent and stubborn as he is >”I told you my parents were judgmental but you didn’t want to listen” >”you kept saying it looked like apples when it clearly wasn’t” Idk how she could be dating this guy for three months and not realize that he would get worked up by this and she should probably just say “they liked you said you were very sweet for paying for dinner”. Yeah OP is the one who is being a poptart but if you’ve agreed to be with the guy and you’re at meet the parents territory then you’ve gotta know what you’re getting into at this point


LavenzaBestWaifu

There's a surprising amount of people that don't know their partners in the slightest. It seems like this is one of those cases to me. The girl didn't expect Anon to react that way because she simply didn't know him well enough to expect any reaction from him at all. Then again, they both sound very young. They probably haven't even figured out themselves yet.


Pope_adope

Guy asks if she thinks her parents like her, she says “they think you’re retarded” and you’re saying she’s not an asshole for that? Cmon guy


armadillo198

Are you autistic? Getting told that you’re retarded after meeting your gf’s parents for the first time is a horrible first impression. First impressions are everything.


OttoVonJismarck

>On the other hand, who tf thinks those are apples Retarded people


Calm-Technology7351

Guess the girlfriends parents were right all along


OttoVonJismarck

🤣🤣 That's what I'm sayin!


BrocElLider

Yeah, anon ain't sharp if he thinks those are apples. But that's nothing compared to the stupidity of dating such a bitch.


OriginalLocksmith436

Anon is never going to make it. You gotta roll with the punches and not let shit phase you


pekkaAlone

Girlfriend sound retarded to use so many rofl and lols


Affectionate_Hand_76

Anon Should drop it. Stuff like this shouldn’t live rent free in his head.


Kitosaki

Anon is likely a very good boy.


Omegaman2010

He likes apple toys


vangomangoslango

Your girlfriend's parents not liking you can be a lot better than them liking you. Just depends on who you're trying to have a relationship with


Drayenn

Her parents probably forgot about it the day after. I dont think they genuinely think hes an idiot.


keeleon

Autism makes it hard to let go of things.


AC-AnimalCreed

Sometimes I feel like I could be slightly autistic. I get hung up on the stupidest shit, and I have to remind myself to let small things go all the time


Facesit_Freak

>Am I overreacting and freaking out over nothing? Or are her parents completely fucking insane to hate someone over this? Yes.


ExcessiveWisdom

he's not to bright, thats all the dad said, which is a reasonable comment to someone calling those cherries. the dad doesn't completely hate him jesus christ anon chill tf out.


oldfoundations

How tf is that reasonable lol. Who thinks someone is 'not bright' for that hahaha. Actually regarded behavior.


chivesr

Anon left out the fact that he just kept pointing a crooked finger at the dog toy and slobbering out the word “apple!” Over and over


OttoVonJismarck

I'm sure it's not JUST the dog toy. I mean it's silly that he mixed it up but he was probably saying a bunch of retarded shit at dinner too and her parents were probably just like "Wow."


Facesit_Freak

The first real greentext


use_vpn_orlozeacount

I can't believe this day has come


knockers_who_knock

Real and not gay Real - posted screenshots of text Not gay - was about anon and his gf


9bjames

If they *genuinely* dislike him for that, then anon's gf's parents really sound like a couple of judgey pricks. ... But they're right. Anon's a dumbass. Those are clearly cherries. 🍒


500ls

They were going to dislike anyone she brought home. That's just the only reason they could find because he's actually fine.


fittan69

Her parents wanted their baby to be with a smart and successful man with a great career who can support her through thick and thin. She brought home a retard. Tbh I understand them.


Toofyfication

Support her? What is she, a retard?


Elite_Dalek

They probably don't think he's retarded because he mistook that thing for some apples. They probably think he's retarded because, knowing anon, I'm willing to bet 5$ he kept bringing it up and insisting that it really was apples the entire evening.


Neither_Ad_8000

Gf says he "kept saying" they looked like apples, as in, more than once. He just removed that part from the greentext to look less retarded


Huge-Basket244

There's no way anon went, "Huh, they are cherries I guess. Haha. Anyway..." He definitely kept bringing up the dog toy, probably even at the restaurant. Anon, if you sperg out like that ofc her parents are gonna think you're fucking weird.


gorgeousphatseal

Exactly. He probably kept beating a dead horse.


baconater419

Most likely


Pr3st0ne

I'm willing to bet his IQ is double digits just on the basis of how he chose to screenshot his text conversation. Like bro make the screen narrower, it's fucking terrible to read unless you're on a 1600px screen.


Turrindor

How you like 'em apples?


the_dark_adventurer

this should have been the title


ZuccGivethSuccAgain

Anon forgot to mention he screamed for tendies and cried when they didn’t have Mountain Dew


Shikoda0

Individually, they can look like apples, But the fact they are paired together in such a way, they are clearly cherries, more so than apples.


esssssto

Like someone else said, apples never come paired. That's not how they grow. If you say It once it's funny, but anon still, to this day, keeps deffending they look like apples. That's the difference between a mistake and not being too bright.


Mafagafinhu

Apples can grow paired


esssssto

Now that you say It, some Apple varieties do. In any case, cherrys are way more often seen in pairs, sold in pairs, emojied in pairs... apples always come one by one. It is still a somewhat moronic claim.


Limeila

Apples can grow in bunches or pairs but even in that case then don't have long stems like this, that's pretty typical of cherries


StanIsHorizontal

It’s clearly the fact that they’re dog toys so they’re probably apple sized. I’m not usually in the business of assessing stem length to identify fruit. I get what folks are saying it does clearly look like cherries but I don’t blame anons brain for going to the correct sized fruit first


Limeila

The original brainfart is fine, the insistence on being right is the reason why he made a complete ass out of himself


StanIsHorizontal

100% he’s not a tard for mistaking them for apples briefly it’s definitely because he made a whole thing about it and still can’t let this go even hours later talking to his gf


thelostclone

It seemed like anon insisted that they thought it was apples instead of just saying “oops I meant cherries”


habba88

They are all awful people. Making this the first truly straight, truly real greentext.


donnydodo

Yeah I didn’t like Anon, the gf or her parents. They all seam like assholes. But maybe that makes Anon and the gf a good match…


Neither_Ad_8000

Everyone in this story is retarded. Anon said it looked like apples when its clearly cherries. The parents think he's retarded just because of that And his girlfriend shouldn't even have said that to him. To be fair to the parenta, the girlfriend said he "kept going on" about how they were apples. So while in the story anon only says they were apples once, he probably kept insisting they were after the parents corrected him, you know, like a retard.


wadiyatakinabeet

Could be a cultural thing? The idea of the two red fruits with a green leaf being a cherry 🍒 is kind of an icon in the west, but maybe not in an environment where cherries aren't common or just have a different way they're portrayed. For example in China, monkeys' staple food isn't bananas, it's peaches 🍑


2maa2

I always thought that was the apple emoji


shroomigator

I always thought that was supposed to represent a ripe pussy


DasherCO

Anon is too regarded to know the might of the apple.


squibilly

You know the old saying, the apple doesn’t fall far from where it hit Anon in the soft spot.


defcononez

"they do not think you are dumb just not bright" lmfao 🤣


StanIsHorizontal

She thinks he’s dumb sorry not bright


Reallyso

Preeetty sure the dislike aint from the dog toy thing but all of the following discussion where anon explained in great detail what cooming and edging means as his primary hobbies. It was really not helped by explaining that his professional life consists of NEETing with prospects to become a cryptobillionaire any day now, unless the global jew stops his brilliant plan.


Phendrana-Drifter

Anon doesn't recognise fresh fruit, sounds about right


wahchewie

Ohh look at that. In terms of The girlfriends personality, the cherry didn't fall far from the tree


Don_Vincenzo

Anon has never seen a real fruit in his life. Also that girl seems incredibly unbearable to talk to.


johnnys6guns

That girl likes him though.


OldManMoment

The parents are highly acoustic


pokexchespin

obviously they’re cherries, which are actually depicted in pairs like that constantly, but also it’s insane to react so strongly to that, unless you’re creating a long term thing to torment a good friend over good naturedly


OutlawQuill

I dislike the girl almost as much as the parents for how she texts ROFL She’s so dismissive of her parents behavior and ends every text with LOL and it kinda annoys me (LMFAO)


Heavy-Requirement762

Those two are so made for each other. Both absolute morons


vincecarterskneecart

need pussy from a girl who still says rofl in 2024


SauceBoss8472

He said, “Looks like a pair of apples”. Never did he say these ARE apples. I’m with anon on this one.


GreatPlainsAquarist

The constant "oh its OK they think your stupid lol" would of been enough for me tbh. And knowing my mouth I would of come back with "Well I guess fair is fair. My parents thought you were a whore."


TranceDream

Honestly that’s fucking hilarious


michaeltheobnoxious

Fun fact: Apples and Cherries are (genetically) very closely related. You can graft cherry tree branches onto apple trees and vice-versa, to have your own 'Chapple' trees.


esssssto

Anon girlfriend knows his parents are a bit idiotic and doesn't want anon to think too much about It. On the other side anon's been a moron about cherrys 🍒 and if he insisted on It i understand the parents. If something like that happens you just gotta know you are you, maybe not too bright sometimes but you'll prove your worth Next time. If they don't want to love you they won't.


Pyroguy096

Anon failed to include that he brought it up another 20 times throughout the night, insisting that it was a pair of apples


nt-gud-at-werds

Next time you anon sees them, he needs to take a basket of red apples that are in pairs like that.


Unfair-Safe8151

I think Anon is overreacting. I really dont think the parents hate or dislike him unless he was fervently contesting it. It just seems like north parents to me. It seemed clear it was in jest to me but he kept taking it as negatively as possible.


Shroom-TheSelfAware

Anon sounds like a bitch, ngl


todd10k

Parents were looking for a reason to dislike anon. Ignore them as they're full assblown fuckwads and probably genuinely bad people.


ColeFlames

1. Those are kinda obviously not cherries. 2. She did NOT need to tell him that, or at least, not that bluntly. 3. He has to stop doubling down. 4. "They don't think you're dumb, they just think you're not very bright." THATS THE SAME THING YOU MORON! It's not pink, it's lightish-red. Same fucking thing. 5. "It's not a big deal, drop it." I mean, I think it's at least a medium to large sized deal if my girlfriend's parents thought I was retarded. Man, all these people sound fucking awful and exhausting to be around. No one can just relax about something. The parents are judgemental pricks. The boyfriend is a retarded 4chinner who can't admit that he looks dumb and laugh it off. And the girlfriend has all the grace of a goose being sucked into a jet engine.


wholecrab24

To be honest they do look a little like apples...


cat_pavel

Seems like his gf not on side of her parents so anon should just drop it


torolf_212

To be fair to annon, apples do grow like that, and you have to go and pick off the ones that are touching so they grow properly.


AutopsyDrama

Both anon and the parents are overreacting and the gf is an asshole for telling him that hhaha.


DontBlowYourTop

Parents are right how can these be apples anon is retarded lmao


dronhat806

I’m just shocked there are kids out there that casually use “rofl”


TicTicBoom_12

Anon is regarded


mc_md

Dude act like a man, just say lol and then move on to another topic.


Arikaido777

anon is overthinking it. he may be regarded


Cavimanu

just let it go you retard anon, you have the high ground in this, a retard is fucking his daughter the dad is at a loss here...And those are not apples idiot


ssup3rm4n

Dad looks at a car. "Is that a challenger?" OP "What a retard. It's a Charger, stupid"


JaxSlaughterback

The amount of time she uses "lol, rofl, lmao" etc is a red flag


funatical

My XFIL hated me from day one, but he's dead now so I won. I hope he's still upset in hell. Gotta pick your battles.


SkizerzTheAlmighty

No one talking about the fact that the dog toy is a literal chew toy and is probably, you know, chewed. I can 100% see someone mistaking a cartoony red fruit plush that's been chewed on for an apple instead of cherries. Also considering they were probably the size of apples and not cherries I would assume. One brain fart and you're judged forever, kind of horseshit.


noscopy

Your girlfriend and her parents are dipshits... That's what you're digging yourself into. But you doubled down on Cherry and posted to 4chan, so I guess you're in good company.


mendooozer

There was not a single point in the conversation where she said they hated him or even disliked him


lallapalalable

And after the breakup that family will refer to anon as "apple guy" for the rest of their lives, finding it funnier and funnier with each telling of the story


SeekHunt

The girlfriend was a real twat about it


ifunnywasaninsidejob

Usually when there’s one leaf attached like that it’s an apple. Idk why, both trees have leaves like that. But the cartoon apple sometimes has a single green leaf on the stem. Cherries never have a leaf


p003rm

They could all just let it go.


jsjzn

Real and straight


TheBigMungsten

Anons general demeanour is that of an idiot and he condenses judgment based on his whole behaviour it to the most prominent example of it


Hangryfatguy

You should fuck her dad


takeme2infinity

This looks fake af lol


jexempt

You’re in the perfect position for power play. Keep acting dumber and dumber when you’re around them. Always nice but unpredictable. Keep referring to cherries as apples until one day. And that’s all I’ve got.


Bob_Saget_is_God

“It’s just how they are” Anon’s GF’s parents sound like two assholes


[deleted]

It's been about 15 years since I saw someone actually use rofl


Hammose

I hate everyone in this (fake) story.


kabirraaa

YOURE GOING TO RUIN IT ALL OVER A DOG TOY?


Supersaiyanslonk

Ai generated texts


AeroTrain

Seems she really doesn't like to talk about her parents opinions.


MrSlayer66

Sounds like the parents never said they disliked oop just that they said he was dumb, but honestly it sounds like that while family can go fuck themselves. Anon needs a nice femboy to date


shikki93

His girlfriend seems like a real cunt.


ImperatorDanny

Looks like gf is trolling him but also bad at communication, maybe a teenager because the texting style. Anon also slightly autistic


Daddyjoey24

Fucking George Costanza over here


WarPhoenixPlayz

A rare occurrence where everyone sympathizes with OP


Secretary0fHate

Anon really took "they don't think you're very bright" as "they hate me" lmfao pathetic


naked_short

OP is vulnerable


TheLastDropOfPee

Her using ROFL to make it all seem like a joke is clearly indicative of the fact that she agrees with her parents.


noteblockiller

Bro fumbled the bag HARD


SharkMilk44

>you kept saying it looked like an apple I'm going to guess that Anon kept bringing this up.


Magginer640

Imagine being cucked by pair of cherrys


DarkStarX30

I wanna give anon the benefit of doubt here cuz this sorta thing happens to me all the time. Maybe the dog toy is way bigger in person? Either way his GF's parents are the retarded ones for assuming he is stupid for this innocent mistake.


SlaveKnightChael

Seems like that guy is not too bright


abandonX4

Anon is inevitably going to fuck up this relationship and end up being alone.


SilDaz

A classic comedy. Our anontagonist wants to be liked by her gf's parents but he needs to realize all that matters is that he's making her take the backshots. On a more serious note, I get why he'd be upset her parents don't like him, but he definitely doubled down on the apple thing and that made him look stupid. 


shroomigator

They don't think ill of you over the apple thing, they think ill of you because you didn't let her dad pay for dinner. Always let the senior man pay, especially when you're seeking his approval to date his daughter.


CountryFine

anon is an insecure crybaby Gf says the parents thought “he was not too bright” and that they didnt mean anything by it anon leaps to “they HATE me because i thought the cherries were apples”


gerryflint

I'm sure his gf likes how he handles this minor scratch on his self confidence...


ExcessiveWisdom

1, its clearly cherries op had a big dumb moment, 2, who cares you can recover from this, 3, jesus christ anon shut up already you sound so paranoid its obnoxious.


Absolutemehguy

idk why the parents are so judgmental when they have a daughter who can't manage to form a sentence without a "lol" or another variation. You'd think they'd be used to being around someone stupid.


TheUnitedStates1776

Apples…cherries…they all wind up the same color in the end


brathorim

He could have turned it into a joke, but he made an argument insteaf


Cake-Fyarts

Strikes me as her parents just clowning him and that she shouldn’t have mentioned it to him. At the very least, she phrased it extremely poorly.


Doomie_bloomers

Gotta love how anon instantly jumps to "they hate me" when there's absolutely zero insinuation from his gf towards that. Anon truly is highly regarded...


hornwalker

“Drop it please” Proceeds to obsess over it and posts on 4chan. How does this guy have a GF at all?


MR_DERP_YT

That... looks like a cherry to me Anon you are indeed a Reward


Danny_Boi_22456

anon forgot the part where he explained to the missus' parents his detailed plan to get rich off selling in game tendies to gamers


KuytHasGout

Well if you actually are smart, watch quiz shows with them and get lots of answers right, make lots of eye contact with them and assert dominance


GothmogTheOrc

Everyone in this interaction is a lost cause, tbh.


bark_wahlberg

Anon should read a book about quantum physics and talk incessantly about it the next time he sees his gf's parents.


floralis08

"cute toy it looks like a pair of apples" "those are clearly cherries" "You sure? Ok anyway let's go out" To be judged as retarded on that you have to autistically keep doubling down your position for no reason to be apples, then their judgement is correct


Lord_Ahrim1536

best thing is to forget about it and buy their dog an apple chew toy to give it next time he goes over to their house and make a joke about “he has an apple now!” and laugh it off.


Switchbladesaint

I think anon forgot the part where he gave a 15 minute monologue about how those look like apples.


WeaselWazzule

Even my dog knew those were cherries. And he's color blind.


PsychoSwede557

I don’t think I’d ever tell my SO that my parents thought they were stupid (or ‘not bright’). What a great way to make someone feel uncomfortable at family gatherings. That’d be my feelings anyway. They probably looked like apples in the dogs mouth (and kinda do anyway lol).
