Let’s dive into the most bizarre yet strangely endearing things couples do together that will make you think, “Maybe we’re not that strange after all!”
1. Ever Had a Staring Contest… With a Twist?

Could you keep a straight face? Because this couple clearly can’t, and that’s the point!
3. The “Towel Boy” Ritual
“He’s my ‘towel boy.’ After every shower, I call out, ‘Towel boy!’ and he comes running just to hand me my towel, complete with, ‘Here’s your towel, ma’am! I need this job!’ It’s become a daily tradition.” — u/tarhell1
Why It’s Adorable: It’s like a mini skit, right in their bathroom. What started as a joke turned into an everyday act of love. Who knew shower time could be so entertaining?
4. The Cozy “Venus Fly Trap”

Relationship Goal: Finding someone who willingly falls into your weird traps—literally!

Question: Ever turned eavesdropping into a bonding experience? This couple sure has!
7. Pretending They’re on First Dates
“After a date night, we like to pretend we’re on the show First Dates. One of us will say, ‘Would you like to see each other again?’ It’s our way of revisiting why we love each other.” — u/m1sscommunication
Feel the Romance: Because who doesn’t want to be on a never-ending first date with their person?

Just Imagine: A fight might still be unresolved, but the belly farts must go on. That’s love.

13. The “Laying on the Floor” Strategy
“When something goes wrong, one of us will just lay on the kitchen floor and give up. The other then asks, ‘So, what’s happening?’” — u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe
Why It’s Relatable: Haven’t we all had those just lay down and forget life moments?
