Newyears eve gathering ended in tears

Hi Ladies,

I'll get straight to the point, me and my husband have a pretty funny relationship where we tend to embarrass each other and play practical jokes on one another.
It sounds really immature but its just between us and I think it makes us closer.

A few weeks ago he pranked me at home and the end result was I got talcum powder in my hair, it washed out but my hair felt weird and I'm sure smelled funny for days. I was a bit pissed at this and vowed to get him back on new year.

On NewYears Eve it was only my 3 sisters, my hubby and myself. As the night went on we all got a little tipsy and I mentioned the talcum powder thing to my sisters.
They suggested it would be good to give him some payback now.

When he came back in my sister told him to stand and close his eyes, my other sister made a gesture like she was about to knee him in the goolies as if to say "how OTT would it be if I done this". I laughed and went along with it by pretending to kick him really hard. It was all ok until my heel came off and hit him right in the crown jewels.

He doubled over to the ground with his hands on his crotch and looked to be in lots of pain. I'm sorry to say me and my sisters burst out laughing and found it hilarious, now my hubby thinks I deliberately kicked him in the groin and hates me and my sisters for laughing at him. Was it unreasonable to laugh and is he being unreasonable saying as it was a semi-accident? I mean it couldn't have hurt that much surely.

How did the heel come off exactly? Confused

Why is this site so hostile seriously, you all seem miserable

It's just the effect you have on us. Have you looked to see if Viz have community boards?

OP is practising for Monday, when he will again be addressing adult women as 'Miss'.

Why is this site so hostile seriously, you all seem miserable bet your poor 'husband' got the same response after you hurt him and laughed - if any of this is true ...which it probably isn't

McNewPants2013 · 03/01/2013 21:52

I am not miserable, now havent you got some GCSE coursework to do

ZebraInHiding · 03/01/2013 21:54

Sounds like a group of bullies ganging up. I think you need to stop the jokes, maybe?

The heel just flew off of my foot

Ok then. Just apologise to him, explain it was an accident and move on. And quit the practical jokes?

HelenOwen10 · 03/01/2013 22:02

"I would of been very sorry and filled with guilt, i don't find people in pain very funny at all."

But can you accept people have different senses of humour?
It was just the reaction he had that was funny plus the fact my sisters where there and we had had a bit to drink

If this is true you have done 1 of 2 things,

1/ Upped the ante to include pain

or

2/ Lost your husband's trust.

well done :)

Proudnscaryvirginmary · 03/01/2013 22:03

I believe you OP, I am always accidentally twatting my dh in the balls and laughing my tits off.

CordeliaChase · 03/01/2013 22:04

Did you also end up on YouTube? Seen several videos floating about in fb that sound remarkably similar to both pranks detailed in op Hmm

BarredfromhavingStella · 03/01/2013 22:05

Of course people find different things funny, finding someone in pain amusing when you caused it however, just makes you a twat & yes, I'm fucking hostile-miserable less so.

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2013 22:06

Ooh the 'talc in the hairdryer' prank?

HelenOwen10 · 03/01/2013 22:06

No but the video of it would be funny.

The basic idea of a joke is that everyone is laughing.

Blatherskite · 03/01/2013 22:08
Hmm
AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 03/01/2013 22:10

More teenage shite?

Roll on Monday

ILoveSaladReallyIDo · 03/01/2013 22:12

its only a joke if it's funny to everyone involved, if one person is hurt and unhappy and others are laughing they're just nasty, not funny!

Proudnscaryvirginmary · 03/01/2013 22:13

We used to play knock down ginger in my day

Binfullofgibletsonthe26th · 03/01/2013 22:14

So if you all found it extremely funny as a group, but seem annoyed that the people on here don't find it as funny as you, why are you bothering with us, op?

Can't you just get together as a group and have a laugh about it some more over a couple of bottles of Blue WKD down Yates' Wine Lodge?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 03/01/2013 22:14

What I did during the school holidays

  1. Ate 8 boxes of cereal
