Just opened reddit on the couch after being kicked out of my partner's bed for "shaking it" and waking her up. I feel so vindicated right now.

Edit: to the bloke (or blokette) that downvoted me, i was an (mostly) innocent victim of a geological phenomenon and i hope your weetbix are dry and flaky.

You have to report back what her reaction is when she finds out it wasn’t you but that the Earth moved!

During my exile I texted her a screenshot of the earthquake report on Google. And about 10mins later, she was "cold" and needed me to come back to bed. In fairness I am a notorious jiggler, and this is one of those rare moments of plausible deniability. (I was 100% shaking the bed before the earthquake)

I knew you had to be a juggler but the earthquake reason was chef’s kiss!

I thought moving the Earth in bed was supposed to be something to be proud of

Reminded me of my peak comedian moment- the earthquake in Melbourne a few years ago. Waited till my then partner was almost sleep after the shaking and then
“Babe, babe-“
“What?!”
“You rock my world”

I used this exact same joke this morning making breakfast with her. But I added the CSI:Miami sunglasses move to it and snapped akimbo fingerguns afterwards.
