In a classic case of pandemic couple squabbles, actor Jake Thompson recently surprised his wife, Emma Reed, with a peculiar purchase: a “toiletry safe” to safeguard his frequently misplaced items, like nail clippers. You know how sometimes, when living with someone, your belongings mysteriously vanish? You might have just bought a new pair of nail clippers, but somehow they’re nowhere to be found. Well, Thompson decided to tackle this issue head-on with a rather unconventional solution—a literal safe, akin to a gun safe, for his grooming essentials.
During the chaos of 2020, Thompson and Reed have been refreshingly open about their experiences navigating parenthood and marriage in lockdown. In a fun twist, Reed has taken to documenting Thompson’s antics, sharing them on social media and dubbing it their own little reality show. And it’s both amusing and relatable.
In one video, a visibly frustrated Thompson accuses his wife and kids of pilfering his nail clippers and tweezers. To protect his prized toiletries, he excitedly reveals his new safe, proudly noting, “I measured my bathroom drawer before I ordered this so it fits.”
Reed humorously captions the video, “In this episode, Jake takes measures to protect himself from the little creatures that live down the hall, and I accidentally threw away a crucial part of his shaver.” Those “little creatures” are, of course, their children, whom Thompson affectionately refers to as “ferrets” and “chimpanzees” during his amusing rants about their antics. At one point, when Thompson laments the loss of his nail clippers, Reed chimes in, “Babe, you can’t say ‘stolen’ when your kid takes your stuff.”
One observer perfectly encapsulated the situation, stating, “This is the most relatable couple spat, and I can’t get enough. Frustration, laughter, and absurdity—all in one!”
In the follow-up videos, Thompson shows Reed how the safe fits in their drawer, leading to a lighthearted debate about the appropriate number of towels a family needs. He argues for two, while she insists on a higher count. In yet another clip, he diligently catalogs the “missing toiletries,” reporting that “60% of the Apple TV remotes are gone, along with 100% of the tweezers and nail clippers.” At least he’s tackling the crisis with a methodical approach!
