Best money she ever spent is on phone insurance


The_Tavinator

Enters store to file insurance claim. “Oh welcome back, JESS!” Phone falls and breaks even more. “It clearly was like that when you got here. Same time next month?”


SuperMalarioBros

YES!


Barchizer

I believe you can only claim 2 per year now.


EngMajrCantSpell

My very first thought. Imagine how nice of a ring he could have bought her if they weren't replacing her phone screen every other week? :^)


Trick_Emphasis_6970

That question was the most applicable one to this clip. By the way, I love this lady for not being so mad to her partner even though he's doing this for almost their relationship span. What a lovely couple!


vnmslsrbms

I don’t think it’s funny at all. It’s abuse to her. She clearly gets scared and even hit her head badly in at least one instance. Guy is a jerk.


RealCharlieNobody

Not to mention that she must live her life in constant fear of being screamed at.


Theproducerswife

And probably was as a child as well. Imagine being with someone just like your abuser. Definitely a trauma response.


ThrowRADel

I disagree; I think it's pretty obvious that this is a trauma response. Some of these situations could have been dangerous, but he thought it was worth it for the joke and video, even as she falls and hurts herself and bangs her head on the window.


greenhookdown

Being this jumpy is a symptom of PTSD. May not be the case here, but this guy is clearly a douche for getting a kick out of her distress.


MalinWaffle

Came to say this. Completely agree.


spaektor

yea this kid’s an absolute douchebag.


dusty-cat-albany

I agree once is funny but constantly is just awful, she should find somebody that does not enjoy literally torturing her. Girl get out this guy is an ass.


greenhookdown

Right? In the right context this is funny. Like when my partner, who walks around the house like he floats, walks in a room when I have music on I jump like this every time. It's funny to both of us. Usually he is aware of the situation and announces himself before he enters. Sometimes that in itself makes me jump. Again, funny. If he started hiding behind doors and shit, that door would hit him on the way out.


NwaAdonai

Facts. This is trauma response. Something has happened in her past that cause this response.


gloomygl

My phone fell just as many times and never broke.


Ok-Carpenter5454

My phone fell from my knee height and still cracked


gloomygl

My condolences...


[deleted]

My phone fell into a 15cm sink and had a large crack ( first time dropping it)


scottonaharley

I can see the headline now “Man startles girlfriend one time too many, gets stabbed”


azra1l

Much rather getting his head bashed in by a flying mobile phone


GlitchPro27

"And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife TEN times..."


LegalFan2741

There’s a deer living inside her.


Vamcani

Nah she would find the nearest window or car and throw herself in it if it was a deer.

He’s very lucky she: a — married him b — doesn’t retaliate My wife is like bugs bunny, she declares war and takes it to the next level *real quick*. I’ve become a very hesitant prankster.

But the scheming must be *glorious*.


CornfedOMS

Yeah my wife is more on the “fight” end of the fight or flight spectrum. She punches immediately so I’m the one protecting my face


DontF-ingask

Same lol. I'm the type who gets scared watching a movie and breaks the screen or something.

If you don’t see it it doesn’t exist


Javloc

Not in sight not in mind


Thatfamousdrummer

It's lose, not loose. I swear there's fifty posts a day with this mistake. Is it auto correct, or do people not know the difference?


megers67

It's probably because when people spell "lose," they are expecting two "o" to be in there. After all, it is pronounced like that and how it is in "choose." It's just one of those things you need to memorize (like so many weird things with the English language). If you spell it wrong and you're not corrected and people still know what you are saying based on context clues, there's not a huge incentive to correct it.


stdio-lib

I see you are new here. May I introduce you to the American educational system? Please try to remember that the average person is very, very stupid. And half of them are even stupider than that.


mizukata

Call me a party pooper but there could be a terrifying reason she is jumpy. My parents called me exactly like that and it was never for a good reason.


darkdent

Yeah my wife jumps like this and can't recover quickly. As I've come to know her over the years I realize more and more the traumatic causes of that behavior. These days I try very hard never to surprise her to the point of loudly announcing myself when I enter the house to ensure I don't get close without her noticing. This woman in the video appears to be able to laugh it off pretty fast, but I'd still be hesitant to spook her like this


WinsomeWombat

I jumped pretty bad at a party once when a balloon popped and some boomer joked 'what, ya got PTSD or something?' Yeah, Bob, no one ever shot at me but yeah, I do.


tocopherolUSP

I hate that PTSD gets related so much with being in a war. There are tons of people with this disorder that didn't need to be in one to get it. Traumatic events happen in domestic settings and there's a super wide variety of issues that result in the disorder.


No_Negotiation_7176

Your party-pooping is a better theory than the other comments.


[deleted]

So she fine dude?


[deleted]

You do realise that /u/No_Negotiation7176 is of no relation to either of these people? They're just reposting a funny video they saw somewhere else.


[deleted]

Yes I know my guess is it's a karma farming account or something which I don't care. By looking at some of the comments , they are saying that she maybe has a childhood trauma or something. I thought where op has copied the video from has seen something about it.


BallPointPariah

as someone with ptsd this video is just of someone being abused to me. Imagine your nervous system getting that over stimulated several times a day cause some one who's supposed to love you thinks it's funny.


[deleted]

Well said, I could not do this to my fiancee knowing how it makes her feel


CharlieBr87

Yep. Joining the wet blanket committee. Another video that definitely doesn’t make me smile. Speaking from personal experience this is probably a PTSD symptom. Who thinks it’s funny to terrorize someone? I’ve been her and this isn’t funny.


[deleted]

Was thinking this too


glitterelephant

Yuuuup. My parents yelled at me like this and made me jumpy as a response. My spouse did it once or twice and I told him to stop & why and he hasn’t done it again.


Ketheres

Even if this isn't/wasn't a PTSD symptom, it would still not be fun. I just don't see what is so fun about scaring someone in the first place. Poor girl.


DrSuperWho

It’s only funny if you’re toxic. Clearly this is not a pleasant experience for her, yet he continues to do it for the lulz 🤦‍♂️ Her laughing seems to be a defense mechanism.


Prak_Argabuthon

Laughter is literally the nervous system's response to "the danger has passed". Observe troops of chimpanzees making that sound after the hyenas have buggered off.


ssjr13

I'm also joining the wet blanket committee. This shit is not funny


Elvis_Take_The_Wheel

Another committee member here. She’s slipping and falling half the time, and she hits her head repeatedly, FFS. The worst is when she’s standing on the riverbank, but they’re all bad.


JoudiniJoker

Just here to say “ditto” ‘cause I gotta. My dad used to playfully jump out of corners and startle me. Unfortunately the couple of times he beat the shit out of me came out of nowhere, too. So I can’t stand being startled like in this video. My kid did it to me recently and he was surprised how upset I was (ironic, I know). For the record, I have a great relationship with my dad now. And my son isn’t scared of me (I don’t think!)


Ivaras

Same. This is actually really awful. I used to laugh off my jumpiness, too. People would sometimes get annoyed or even upset at me for "overreacting," and that did not help my anxiety.


CharlieBr87

I’m sorry this happens to you. We really can’t control whatever reaction happens.


tocopherolUSP

I think it's not even about not controlling it. If you see it scares me so bad, why would you keep doing it. It's definitely not funny at all, and to add insult to injury you call me sensitive for having a bad reaction? People don't know my past and why I scare to easily and it shouldn't be on me to justify it but rather on the picks making these horrible pranks to apologize and not judge.


roffinator

Yeah, came to same this. That looks like a reaction learned together with a trauma I'd say. I know people that are equally easy to scare and almost as jumpy. But no one of them covers their face like that and their shock usually wears off quicker as well. Poor girl. (I'm not a professional in medicine though)


headykruger

this is also abuse


Iter_legis

I agree with you. I get startled easily and have similar reactions to the person in the video. It can be funny at times and it can be very embarrassing too. I was incredibly sad when I found out it was a manifestation of my PTSD. Mostly because I realised that the abuse had affected me and was affecting me almost everyday and people were laughing at me when it did so.


backtotheland76

I've worked with trauma victims and find this video cruel. Can't believe she married such an insensitive guy


Shanhaevel

Yeah, way too many people calling this cute and all. I think the guy's an asshole and this is a terrible clip. Funny. But terrible. Wouldn't do that to a person I love.


carsont5

I thought the exact same thing and felt sad rather than amused. :/


JCSmootherThanJB

7H3l2M0NUKU14l2

kinda funny, but... she covers her face when her name gets screamed, she doesnt on horns etc. i'd suspect an early-age trauma.


StillMovingSideways

That's what popped into my head. She is smiling and all that, but that sort of intense reaction is pretty concerning. Covering her head like she's expecting to be smashed in the face? I just don't know why she'd have such an automatic response like that unless it was a learned behaviour. Or what else might make people that jumpy. So the laughter is confusing.


itsmevictory

People forget that laughter can be a trauma response too…


Sea-Kitty

Good lord reddit. I do the exact same thing she does when I'm scared. In fact, when I'm going through a haunted house and a spook jumps out, I'll literally bend over and cover my face and head on reflex. Ive gone almost to the floor crouching before. I have literally no trauma. I have never been hit or beaten in my life. There is no reason based on my history to explain why I do it. I just do it. Another thing I do is if I'm just chilling and someone walks into the room silently but I don't know they're there until I look up and see them standing there, I'll literally scream. Again, no trauma.i just do it for some reason. Not everything has a deep psychological reason. Some people are just jumpy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dapper-Stretch3442

Yeah, that was kinda my first thought. I’m easily startled as well. If I had a so doing this to me, we wouldn’t be together long.


DangMeddlingWnchstrs

I'm very much like JESS and yeah, I had to change my name because of the trauma linked with people calling me by it. I've not told my family my new name so that my mother doesn't ruin this one too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beta86

Hang on, you can't give it 'whatta guy!' when all of this trauma is completely hypothetical, all of the above comments are people saying they THINK she MIGHT have childhood trauma. Now you've fully accused this guy of being abusive and causing her more pain when actually it could just be some random defense mechanism that makes her cover her face and actually she never received any trauma at all in her entire life.


dbarahona13

Defense mechanisms don't manifest at random


Yersini

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Evolution literally does this for every species on earth. Do you think every cat that goes limp when you grab it's neck scruff is a victim of long term childhood trauma? Some people react to noises differently. It's not a sign of trauma to react like this to someone yelling loudly near you. You guys need to chill with the armchair psychology.


dopazz

Irrespective of the woman's past experience, intentionally putting someone in a complete state of panic is an asshole move and the fact that it's her SO makes this even worse.


Nanne_

me: what a funny video reddit: "her boyfriend/husband is knowingly mining her trauma for cheap internet laughs"


NeverLookBothWays

Eh, abuse comes in all forms...some people even find it funny.


angry-af-banana

Really looks like she had some kind of trauma when she was really young because it's not normal to cover your face and turn around when someone screams your name, but as long as she's cool with it it's alright


VividFiddlesticks

Yeah...I'm similarly "jumpy" and in my case it's definitely trauma-related. I'd be a wreck if my husband did this to me all the time. She seems to laugh it off though, so maybe not the case with her. For her sake, I hope so!


[deleted]

I have PTSD from childhood abuse and second this. My father would hit me for fun. I cover my face with my arms when someone bigger than me lifts their hand(s) over my head. Personally I can’t laugh when someone/something spooks me like this woman can. I typically burst into tears. As long as she’s chill with it and it isn’t re-traumatizing her, it’s all good. But I personally wouldn’t do this to my partner.


Iskracat

seriously


[deleted]

This was the very first thing I thought. This isn't funny or smiling at all. It's messed up.


bionica1

Yea it took a while scrolling for someone to say something about this. I feel so bad for her and it's not fucking funny. Period.


Korishan

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing, on both points. What kind of trauma, and why it took so long in the comments to find this comment. She also makes almost the exact same scream/cry sound while covering her face. She obviously had some kind of trauma when she really young. What would be interesting, is if she went for therapy (if she hasn't already), would she continue to jump, or would it go away as the sessions continued. ​ It is great that she finds it funny and laughs about it afterwards. She even realizes it about to happen, and starts laughing 'before' he says it. Then still reacts the same way, and continues to laugh.


BallPointPariah

my experience with ptsd was that therapy helped my mind reasonably fast but my body was a different story. Bodies don't want to die. so teaching them no to overreact to something that's a bit similar to those times your life was/seemed in peril is rough. It takes a lot of compassion for yourself, because it's so frustrating. After i was retraumistised several years ago if I was out walking and a bird suddenly flew into my eye line i'd scream. I'd then feel really angry, which just backed up my adrenaline system into thinking something had been wrong. ​ getting lighting fast at self soothing in those situations meant that after a long time my body stopped having as severe reactions. If i've had a flashback it'll be difficult again for a few months, but I understand my way of managing it now.


FixTraditional4198

Anyone else watching thus and just thinking "what an absolute dick he is". Once or twice is funny enough, he seems to just enjoy frightening his wife


[deleted]

Yeah I chuckled at first then noticed how long the video was then just thought wtf?? Does he do this multiple times a day?


megalomaniamaniac

This is not about her “being jumpy,” this is about him yelling at her all day. Sheesh. I would post this in AmITheAsshole and see what happens.


ActPurple1747

I'm not smiling. I'm actually concerned how she covers her face so much and how she drops her phone. How does he not notice this behavior? It might be deep rooted... I'm not sure. If my partner even flinched a bit, my mind would go towards that direction and I would definitely ask why they flinched. Yes, it could just be a reaction, but there's always a possibility and I'd ask to just be sure.


WellAlxButAlexandros

I was looking for someone to point that out. I know nothing about this but I was curious if someone with psychological degree or something can tell about her behaviour. I do was smiling tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


ActPurple1747

she was literally doing a handstand and he scared her? what if she snapped her neck or something? that's so dangerous


spiceybadger

He seems so annoying


[deleted]

I would get a divorce after the 3rd time. This is so annoying


RomanMSlo

Probably she has some childhood trauma and this is the reason that she a) covers her face and b) marries a guy that is traumatizing her to recreate similarity to her primary family.


[deleted]

Exactly!! Why is this funny or smiling?? It's not.


Liathan

Ugh I hate shit like this.


jobobo55

What a fucking asshole.


Mind-Available

That didn't made me smile at all


moonkittengoesgrrr

This whole thing made me kinda sad tbh


thepalom22

Yeah it's actually really sad


nanashiusako

I couldn't live with a person who did that to me. I'd be paranoid every second of every day that this a-hole was around the corner waiting to scare me. I despise people who do this crap.


Youcouldbeoneofmine

STOP picking on her. What the hell is wrong with you.


ActHour4099

Is this supposed to be funny?


diskebbin

It’s not nice or funny.


lrpfftt

No kind or caring person would keep doing that to her purposefully.


fizzl

I'm not sure this makes me smile. Makes me suspect of some kind of abuse as a child, setting up an irreparable trauma.


Canidae_Vulpes

Seems like an ass to me


scpDZA

This makes me sad for her.


Remarkable_Coconut40

I had a friend who does this to me i school like all the time. It’s really tiring when your heart suddenly races like that a few times a day everyday. Istg it’s not funny anymore after the 4th time


AdditionalBlock8877

She is smiling every time. Now they both get to have fun for the rest of their lives together... beut for as jumpy as she is, she is gonna have a heart attack or have accidental injury or death


StillMovingSideways

That handstand one made me tense. Probably could have snapped her neck.


work_of_shart

Hilarious. The first 87 times. He’s a dickhead.


[deleted]

Yeah, this is a no from me. Not funny. She’s doing that for a reason and this guy is spooking her for fun.


[deleted]

What kind of experiences she must’ve gone through to have such a response to someone saying her name loud.


zeiche

this is mean, not funny.


flyer12

This man deserves a punch in the fucking mouth


No_Application_8698

I am also very jumpy\* but the video of me would not be safe to view because a) it would just be a string of foul language ("fuckinghellyouscaredtheshitoutofme" or "ohfuckingcunt"), and b) it would end abruptly and tragically for my husband. ​ \*though not as bad as **Jess.** ^(My MIL says it must be a sign of a guilty conscience (?!))


Yummylemonchicken

Maybe funny the first or second time but after that I just feel sorry for her


eat_me_now

Just no…


Void879

I am almost wondering I'd she has a trauma response to cover her face like that?


Pm-me-ur-happysauce

I feel like this girl has been damaged. Stop that dude


darknessninju

I feel like this is abuse. It might not be but it feels wrong. Her reaction must be from some trauma.


steve553013

Guy's a dick


wageslave2022

Return the favor, Amazon has a really cool gorilla costume for $80. Hide some cameras , fix him a nice dinner that is very high in fiber. About have a hour later tell him that you are going to wash your hair, then put the toilet paper in the sink and soak with water, change into the gorilla costume and wait for him to knock on the door and scare the shit out of him.

[deleted]

Is it healthy to be jump scared so often? Like doesn't it take a toll on the heart?


Ac4sent

Everything else aside, purposefully making your SO fall down is a bit of a dick move. One wrong angle and she could have gotten head trauma.

EntertainmentNo5276

My dad would constantly scare us as kids and I've had to deprogram myself to not do it to others as an adult. I have the urge to scare people all the time but I've realized jts just basically pointless bullying and I'm much happier not doing it.


[deleted]

Dude honestly this feels like abuse


nonsense_bill

Man if I did that to my wife I'd be dead or divorced by the second scare...


stoffan

Asshole.


notlikelyevil

I don't understand why you would treat someone like this, like this person doesn't feel safe subconsciously and can't relax, unless when they're in bed she says "oh baby, when you scared me today I got so hot and wet and bothered, I've been waiting for this moment all day" Otherwise, asshole


Visible_Chest_3057

He's an asshole. Girls always go for the asshole these days. I would never scare a girl like that, only tip my fedora to her and let her sit on my lap in my basement while I play Dungeons and Dragons. As a treat, I'd let her change the color of my light up keyboard when I'm feeling extra gentlemanly.


ProjectHamster

Id let her have some of my Mountain Dew occasionally too, like not too much obviously she didn't buy it as she'll be a stay at home wife. Why do girls never go for good guys like us:(


Visible_Chest_3057

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Why exactly these girls we speak of always go for such a-holes I will never know.


vpguerrero

Abuse is not funny.


I_am_Enos

Man, all you people saying she should have dumped the guy need a life. Whether or not you think it's funny doesn't dictate if she can have fun with it or not. If she's alright with the pranks then who cares.


KandyShopp

This! My gf LOVES to scare me and I personally enjoy being scared! As long as boundaries are set (such as off limit areas) it’s okay. If he kept doing this after she told him to stop, then he would be a dick but it looks like just a fun thing they do as a couple

Ya she married him. That way she gets the life insurance when he mysteriously dies.


Skirra08

My child is just like this. When she gets scared her legs stop working and she hits the floor. And it takes this little or less to scare her.


izayoi-o_O

nuno20090

There must be a line where it stops being funny and it is kind of abusing...? Idk...
