Was I being unreasonable/how badly have I messed up?

[justonemoretime2p]

DP hates tattoos, she has always been very honest and made it clear she would be livid if I ever got a tattoo.
So this morning I was passing a magic/fancy dress shop and decided to look inside. I had the best idea I have ever had and bought a temporary tattoo of a topless woman that looks a bit like DP......
She was at home so when I got home I ran upstairs and straight in to the bathroom I put the tattoo on and wrapped a bandage around it.
Then I confessed, I told her I'd done something and she wouldn't be happy I told her I got a tattoo but it's ok because it's of her.
She didn't believe me until I showed her, she was absolutely horrified and left the room. Then she left the house she just got in her car and drove off, left her phone here. That was almost 2 hours ago, we had plans for most of the day so she will be pissed off about missing that as well.
Eventually she will find it funny right??

Long story short- I pretended to get a tattoo of my DP topless on my arm and I know she hates tattoos now she has left and doesn't know it was a fake tattoo.

This is now even funnier.

"Darling i've got a tattoo."

"I've bought a printer, you bastard."

I've never been so annoyed with anyone I was driven to buy office equipment.

I wonder what she's going to print...... OP I think you should be prepared to see a picture of yourself tied to random lampposts locally, with 'Have you seen this idiot? Reward for kidnapping him' printed beautifully underneath.

lol lol lol at the X Box theory WhatsGoingOnEh

So if you said you had shagged her mum does that mean she might come home with a PS4 which is far superior than an Xbox?

Her gran = big fuck off tv
Her dad = very expensive car

Joking aside though I'm glad it worked out alright in the end and I personally thought that it was pretty funny.
Lucky you don't actually want a real one huh.

I think YOU are the one who were pranked. I think she knew all along and was going out to buy the printer anyway.

Its shiny which I like

This is the first thread on mn in ages to make me actually laugh and I've had a crap day, so thanks!
Enjoy the printer

Yournotfeckingserious- we already have xboxs and play stations which she bought, she buys consoles and accessories and I buy kitchen gadgets.

Text her and any people she might be with, and/or put on Facebook "Sorry! Fake tattoo! Joke!" or similar.

Wireless printers are the perfect answer to April Fools quandaries.

'Accidentally' send the email confirmation of your genital piercing appt to the printer whilst she's working.

Maybe she'll buy scented highlighters to spite you.

lol at scented highlighters

I think a genital piercing warrants at least a macbook.

I think you should survey your home and work out what new stuff you need, and work out a series of pranks and windups accordingly.

eg

"I'm going to a strip club" = new sofa
"I'm going to Amsterdam with the boys" = new massive tv, upgraded sky package and surround sound
"I'm getting a perm" - new office chair, al reclining and swivelling number
"I'll get highlights at the same time, I really want an 80s look" = redecorated living room and hall, including carpets and new lighting
"Look at this catalogue - on page 8, that's my new nose, the 'Manilow' " = caribbean cruise

etc.

You're not that man who puts up the YouTube videos are you?

The one who threw the dummy child over the balcony and filled the house with plastic balls while his wife was out, so they all fell on her when she came home and opened the door.

The poor woman screamed a lot about the dummy, and did this kind of nervous laugh about the plastic balls, but I suspect from the pained look on her face that she knows that all her friends are secretly relieved they are not her.

I do like the idea of a fake tattoo equaling the fuck off printer though.

We cancelled plans to go away next week, she's going away for the night on Friday.
I could hide all my ski gear and tell her I went without her.

AlicelidlETC- haha no that guy is called Roman atwood, I can't stand him but he makes a very good living from the YouTube videos.

I'm not going to do the ski thing, it's just mean.

Oops. I suggest you go buy a very nice bunch of flowers and some chocs. Then when she comes home, apologise and let her know you were daft but it really shook you to see her that upset.

Do you do this sort of thing often? The odd wind up can be funny but I have known blokes who think every opportunity deserves a 'jape.' Gets old quite fast.

This thread has mad me laugh and laugh, I like you OP, you sound, well..sound actually. Glad all worked out and enjoy your shiny mothership!

Skiptonlass- Not that often no, it's definitely not a problem.

But now I'm curious about the spontaneous printer buying, we didn't need a new printer especially not this massive thing.
Normally if she gets annoyed with me she buys "mack" makeup online, was makeup a gate way purchase?
What will she buy next time?

She needs to get a grip.

I didn't really find the tattoo thing that funny and your DP did massively overreact but I find it very funny that she has randomly returned with a huge printer.

Has she given a reason for this printer?!

Wow she sounds dramatic.

Quite a few people seem to think she was unreasonable or over dramatic, I don't think so but I love her and the 2 things that have come from it are this thread and the fucking printer.

CrapBag- She saw a sign in a shop "wireless small office printer, scanner, photocopier, fax" and apparently thought small office meant for a small home office. I have a printer in my home office which she always used more than me but she wanted her own.
Apparently "small office" means for a small office. Who would have thought?

This is the printer, this makes it look smaller and less shiny, I don't know how to make the link smaller.
