Well I'm going to scream so am venting here instead.

Dp has just spent around an hour doing one bloody thing for me, putting up a mirror.
All he had to do was cover a Christmas mural sticker thing of a deer and he's left it's sodding bits sticking out.

He's wondering why I'm not bowing with gratitude.
Is he for real?

You just need a bigger mirror!

thenightsky · 20/01/2019 20:41

Grin thats exactly the sort of thing DH would do.

surely he can see the problem? get him to move it down 6 inches now.

Charley50 · 20/01/2019 20:41

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

thenightsky · 20/01/2019 20:41

Oh yes! Get a bigger mirror!

cloudtree · 20/01/2019 20:41

Just lengthen the string

Charley50 · 20/01/2019 20:42

If you want something done, do it yourself, or whatever the saying is!

Whothere · 20/01/2019 20:43

How irritating would that be if you left it like that.

ShatnersBassoon · 20/01/2019 20:43

This is why I do these sorts of simple jobs myself.

MsForestier · 20/01/2019 20:44

zoflorabore LTB 🤣

FamilyOfAliens · 20/01/2019 20:44

Are you all quite tall in your house, OP? Grin

GoofyIsACow · 20/01/2019 20:44

Has he installed a step for you to actually look in it? It looks VERY high! 🙈

SouthWestmom · 20/01/2019 20:44

Why didn't you take the mural off? Confused

GreenTulips · 20/01/2019 20:44

Idiot

rosablue · 20/01/2019 20:45

Ha!

Looks like he measured it very carefully - but forgot that he wasn’t hanging a square mirror... Grin

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 20/01/2019 20:46

Agree with lengthening the string, but yes it is definitely a case of “That’ll do” and then fucking off.

ToeToToe · 20/01/2019 20:46
Grin

It looks too high regardless of reindeer bits tbh...

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 20/01/2019 20:49

Silly bugger! Grin Sort of thing mine would do. Is why I do most DIY myself....or I superviseGrin

blacktree · 20/01/2019 20:51

😂🤣

Maelstrop · 20/01/2019 20:52

If he moves it down, will the original hole he made still be covered? Can you see yourself in it or has he hung it for his height?

GreenTulips · 20/01/2019 20:55

Last time DH hung a mirror, he asked that I find the measuring tape, hammer and nails and then instruct him where to place the nail, he hung the mirror and then left me to tidy up ...... Well done DH

missyB1 · 20/01/2019 20:57

I love your wallpaper and fireplace though. I think I have lounge envy apart - from the reindeer.

wowfudge · 20/01/2019 20:59

Ooh - Tulips he sounds like he could be my DP's twin! I am always the 'mate' for DIY jobs he does.

WhoWants2Know · 20/01/2019 21:04

This sounds like a ploy to get out of further DIY requests. Also it's very funny.

bigbluebus · 20/01/2019 21:06

My DH always puts mirrors too high up. He is 6ft 4 and seemingly forgets that most other people are shorter and can't see in the mirrors he has put up. I now know I have to measure out and tell him exactly where to position anything before letting him loose with the hammer. I thin you need to do the same!

bigbluebus · 20/01/2019 21:06
