OK first of all can I just say that I am not some mentalist who normally does this kind of thing but both DC's are out for tea tonight so DH on our own.

DH has a habit of running through the house bare chested beating his chest shouting instructions (I know, I know). It's funny. Sometimes. So this evening I thought it would be hilarious if I did the same, so I duly stripped to the waist and ran downstairs into the living room waving my arms in the air shouting ....... to find DH sitting talking to the plumber who had kindly popped round to discuss the new central heating we are having installed.

I don't know which part of this whole debacle is the worst. The fact that DH just sat there with his gob wide open, the fact that I just kept running through to the kitchen then hid in the utility room until he was gone, the fact that this man is going to spend almost a week in my house shortly, or the fact that he lives directly across the road from me and his wife cuts my hair.

DH cannot look at me without pissing himself laughing and if he keeps this up I'm he's going to rupture something vital. Does anyone think there's the slightest chance that perhaps the plumber did not notice? Please?

Megatron - this is so brilliant.

Think MNers should show their support by all stripping off the waist at 9pm and strutting through the house. Let this go viral I say.

HarperSeven · 05/08/2011 20:41

'to' the waist...

DrPolidori · 05/08/2011 20:44

Look, get in there before anyone else does! tell them the story of your dh, and then this story (they will know it anyway, but pretend not to) that way you get your side out pdq!

eveyone will love it, it will be the talk of the village, but if you take the upper hand and make it YOUR story, you will come out smelling of roses!

squeezemebakingpowder · 05/08/2011 20:51

Shock Grin
Quite literally the best story of ever known to man!

However we must must must know what the exact hob nobby instructions were, no one will sleep til we know! Grin

squeezemebakingpowder · 05/08/2011 20:52

Thank you op, you've made my day!

TheOriginalFAB · 05/08/2011 20:54

I will be taking my jeans off at 9. Assuming the kids are asleep Hmm.

youarekidding · 05/08/2011 20:57

I have a story. Not nearly as funny as yours but embarassing at the time.

I lived abroad, somewhere hot. Came back with some house mates and friends at 5am from a night out. We were a little worse for wear. Decided to strip, jump in pool, and run to apartment. So stripped, jumped in and out was running towards apt block thinking we were unotoiced when some residents starting yelling and threw some glasses out of the window at us. Shock. So we were stood there stark bollock naked, unable to move to as smashed glass whilst others starting looking out of the window wondering what was going on. We had no choice but to put our shoes on and walk inside. Worse thing was it was getting light at the time. Blush

I've told a less detailed version of this story before on MN but have divulged the whole story in your honour mega. I think you are a legend tonight in the plumbers eyes on MN.

NonnoMum · 05/08/2011 21:02

Haven't read whole thread because larfing too much but what were the instructions you were yelling?

Cheeseandbiscuits · 05/08/2011 21:03

Had a shitty day! And you have made it much less shitty! Hilarious, thank you for sharing!

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 05/08/2011 21:05

Oh dear!!! Fat tears rolling down my cheeks. DC are screaming asking me to enlighten them and I can't speak. This is the funniest thread EVER.

CoffeeIsMyFriend · 05/08/2011 21:05

Just showed this to DH and he nearly wet himself laughing. He says you need to move house! I agree.

CRS · 05/08/2011 21:06

Ha! That is brilliant. Grin Thank you for sharing.

My advice is deny it and look incredulous if anyone brings it up with you. That way, the plumber looks mad.

LOLHun · 05/08/2011 21:15

How funny!

Reminds me a bit of what happened to me

mrstimlovejoy · 05/08/2011 21:18

brilliant
i do feel Blush for you
reminds me of the time my friend had decided to surprise her then boyfriend by turning up at his house wearing nothing but a long coat and high heels.she knocked the door and as it opened she opened her coat only it wasn't her boyfriend standing at the door it was his dad.

Fuzzywood · 05/08/2011 21:22

Pure genius Grin. My FIL is staying tonight and is looking at me like I've gone mad as I'm PMSL and have snorted wine everywhere.

Megatron · 05/08/2011 21:37

I'm kind of hoping if I just give him a cheery wave the next time I see him, and pretend that nothing has happened then perhaps he'll think he was hallucinating. We haven't had his quote yet, he better knock a few quid off for the eyeful he got tonight. I phoned my sister and told her. You probably all heard her cackle from wherever you are.

Too too funny, and if I was your DH i wouldn't be able to stop laughing - sorry.

michglas · 05/08/2011 21:43

Oh and my DH says you might be able to wangle a discount from the plumber, if you promise to greet him every morning like that Grin

celebmum · 05/08/2011 21:44

Ha ha! Brilliant megatron!! Grin

jazzchickens · 05/08/2011 21:45

Whatever your plumbing problem was originally - I have a feeling you may end up with ...............

one of these

NonnoMum · 05/08/2011 21:49

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Nekkid from waist up is only half trying. Next time could you please involve hairy bits if you want to impress us with your liberal ways... Grin

Megatron · 05/08/2011 21:53

Michglass, I think we're more likely anxiety a discount if I promise NOT to greet him like that every morning. Smile

A couple of stories to make you feel better, though thanks for giving me a good laugh this evening Grin

Not me but my best friend at university, she went to meet her new boyfriend's parents for the first time, asked to go to the loo and as her tight jeans had come untucked from her boots put her foot up on the loo to tuck them in again. The toilet seat shattered, her foot went down the toilet and she had to hobble back downstairs with a soaking wet foot and confess. The relationship didn't last long!!

My aunt was getting out of the bath and had left the back door unlocked, the bathroom was downstairs right next to the back door and as she stepped out of the bath her husband's work colleague let himself in and came in and saw her full frontal! His comment at work next day to my uncle was "By heck your missus has got some flesh on her" I don't know which bit embarassed her more.

Peachy · 05/08/2011 21:58

I was sat with a very well known mumsnetter feeding my son, and didn;t realise I hadn;t pulled my top back up whilst she and her Dh chatted to me for ages after.

I'm quite good mates with her but still don't know if she noticed or if I was as exposed as I fear!

But OP you are a legend. Bless you.
