To be really upset because Dp accidentally put mayonnaise in my hair

[naggynora]

Dressed for the day, make-up on, just made lunch for us all. Kids still eating and dp brings his plate up. We have a little banter and he proceeds to hold his plate above my head with a globule of Mayo still present.

He's joking obviously and I smile but then tell him to stop and move away.

He doesn't and proceeds to follow me with said plate above head. Then Lo and behold the Mayo drops onto my hair and dp is absolutely shocked.

I get upset as it now means I have to wash hair redo makeup etc... and I also have to do the other bits I had planned for the day. I realise it wasn't intentional and that he genuinely was thought it was funny but I can't help but think he's a complete idiot who should have known what would happen. I also don't think it's the least bit funny regardless of whether the Mayo had dropped or not.

So ianbu to feel upset, annoyed and to wish to stay clear of him for the rest of the day?

Or

Iambu and should get over it. It was a joke that went wrong, no harm done and Walking around smelling of hellmans is not the end of the world?

So in order to ‘adult’ correctly we should all have experience with this? Surely you can see that not is every adult’s remit?[/quote]
I think every adult (barring SEN) should be able to work out that you can get something like a blob of mayo out of your hair without having to strip off, wash your whole head and redo your make up. Like an adult should be able to work out you can get something off your jeans without having to change your entire outfit.

@RobinPenguins
The flip side of this is that yes, of course you could have a quick wipe of your hair and leave make-up as is but in order to look exactly the same as I did before Mayo application, the same level of exertion would be needed. So, if you break a glass, yes you stuck it together with super glue, but it wouldn't look the same.

So why should anyone have to shake it off and do all of the suggested tips for absolutely no reason at all? They got ready just fine in the first place.

@BadwordMcGee How, though? Mayo is oily and it stinks. How would you 'get it out' properly without having to wash your hair? Dabbing it off wouldn't really work, and trying to put some of your hair under a tap/shower head would be such a massive faff that you might as well just wash it properly.

Your DH obviously meant for the Mayo to drop on your hair, hence the following you with the plate over your head even after you asked him to stop. He sounds like a prat, a very unfunny prat. Presumably his idea of hilarious is Carry on films.

Especially if you’d tamed your hair so it already had all sorts of carefully layered gunk on it.

Squirt him back with the ketchup!

I can’t imagine starting a thread about this. Really?

Just thought that I'd share that mayo in your hair conditions it because it's made with eggs (I only know because I got egged on Halloween once and it dried before I got home then when I washed my hair it was lovely and soft) just a bit of useless information for you. Not the same thing but I made an effort for my ex once and he spilt coke down a brand new dress which ruined my day.

Can't stand grown men who behave like prattish school bullies.

Of course YANBU, and your partner is a prat at best, if not a bully.

This is the kind of shit my ex would have done as a ‘joke’ when really he would be wanting to take me down a peg or two if he thought I was feeling too good about myself. I hope that’s not the case here but at the very least he owes you a BIG apology.

You seem a bit too upset over a little mayonnaise, however your dp does sound like a complete dick

YANBU. I'd find that incredibly irritating (the following around with a plate after I'd asked him to stop). I love the suggestion that somehow people who don't enjoy this are 'boring and too serious'. Just because I don't want to live in a slapstick comedy where I'm the butt of all jokes doesn't mean I'm humourless. What was the funny bit about holding the plate over her head? Oh, that it had mayo on it and wouldn't it be hilarious if it dropped on her? And then it did, because gravity exists, and he's supposedly surprised because it was a total accident!

Just dab it off!!

DH sometimes does stupid things like this. He's an utter plank.

I use my telling off the toddler "Mum" tone on him. He soon packs it in.

If he actually went through with doing something inconvenient and annoying I expect I would wreak equally petty and immature revenge.

He’s a knob. Something a 13 or 14 year old would do.

Shave off half his eyebrow when he’s sleeping and see how he likes the hijinks then!!

Aw op, it’s such an achievement when you feel nice and “ done” and he mayonnaise’d you!

You’ll laugh about it soon, but I TOTALLY get the soul crushing vibes of having managed it, and having to redo it all again. I had a baby in spring , and I’d bought a nice light colouring linen jacket ( but not too light) and was looking forward to wearing it for about 2 weeks and having something fit/new/not pjs
DH always has the Iron up so high he always melts black onto it (?!) and of course, did I not get sticky black iron goo on my blazer.
I was distraught. Nearly had a breakdown. Calling divorce lawyers. Considering hiring hitman etc etc
So I GET you

Make him watch kids when you go get nails done next week, hun.

It sounds a bit of a silly joke and not surprising it went wrong. But unless it was 1/2 jar why do you have to wash your hair and redo your makeup. It turns a silly joke into a major drama in my view.

It's annoying but not a big deal! Just keep it in the bank for next time when you annoy him!

Sorry he sounds like an arse - what is it with some men and stupid "pranks" - just not funny

@BudrosBudrosGalli

He should pay for you to get your hair washed at a salon and for a make-up artist as a way of a proper apology. Maybe then he will think twice before doing stupid 'jokes'...

I understand OP after making an effort with hair and makeup when we don't do it often then someone comes along and does something so stupid! I don't wear makeup or do much with my hair during the week but if I want to feel a bit more alive I make more of an effort. As you say its a nice change and makes you feel good. My hair is super short so would easily wash out but long thick hair would be such a pain! He's an idiot and didn't respect the word no!

@Aquamarine1029

I have zero tolerance for immature shit like this. It's very unattractive.

This ^^

It wasn't funny when he carried on. It wasn't an accident as he knew there was mayonnaise in his plate that could fall. It was the point of "the joke all along" to threaten Tim ruin your freshly done hair and makeup

I'd go wash that but out and leave hi extra jobs to do as a result to make up for time I lost. Id also make it clear this was a one off and if he did it again, it wouldn't be considered funny in the slightest.

How old is your DP ? 3? Not understanding enough is enough and it’s not funny is something you Are supposed to learn in childhood. Or he is adult and drunk maybe? Sounds like a complete twat by your description. Any other signs of not understanding the “no” word ? Re your hair dry shampoo or small amount of talc sprinkle/ spray brush out.

Very annoying and sounds like childish banter that went too far.

He is a dicksplash though.

Move on and learn.
