DH takes everything litrally and I'm so annoyed at him

We went to view a house today and the current owner told us where everything was and then said "I'll stay here while you have a look around. So, just knock yourselves out."

DH then shrugged his shoulders and charged at the wall headfirst, litrally knocking himself out.

The owner was so shocked he dropped his cup of tea, rushed over to pick DH up and we then had to sit there in his living room for 10 minutes until DH came around. So embarrassing and now not only do we have 0 chance of getting this house (as the owner thinks we're nuts) but we also have to pay to have his carpet cleaned.

DH said he genuinly misunderstood. Am I being too hard on him? I mean, why would he ask us to litrally hurt ourselves?

Taking things literally can be a feature of things like Aspergers but I don't believe the OP for a single second.

LedodgyChristmasjumper · 10/12/2008 13:45

I'd get rid if I were you. Tell him to go jump under a bus. That should do it.

Pinkjennybellrock · 10/12/2008 13:45

Funny.

loobeylou · 10/12/2008 13:45

oh come on, you can't be for real. I am ROFL

either a joke or DP has a real problem.

What does "knock yourself out" mean anyway?

GraceGrapello · 10/12/2008 13:45

I think your h needs to go to a mental institution.

tessofthedurbervilles · 10/12/2008 13:46

This is a joke but very funny. It made me laugh anyway...

ComeOVeneer · 10/12/2008 13:46

Oh come on is this really the best you can come up with? They don't make trolls like they used to!

FabioTheLiterateCat · 10/12/2008 13:46

lol

NeedlesNPins · 10/12/2008 13:46

You should have seen what happened when we had a row in the middle of tesco once. I got really annoyed and said to him "go and fuck yourself".

Needless to say we're banned from Tesco these days

Fabio - do you take things literally?

loobeylou · 10/12/2008 13:46

LOL at "tell him to jump under a bus, that should do it"

Tee2072 · 10/12/2008 13:47

For Christ's sake then don't EVER say "well f*ck me up the @rse and call me Charlie" next time you go to church/the in-laws/pout in public

LilMatchGirlInVictorianSqualor · 10/12/2008 13:48

It's literally.

travellingwilbury · 10/12/2008 13:48

Just as well he isn't an actor

That would be a lot of broken legs in his life

loobeylou · 10/12/2008 13:49

Has he ever taken a long walk off a short pier?

LedodgyChristmasjumper · 10/12/2008 13:50

What does he do when someone tells him to piss off?

FabioTheLiterateCat · 10/12/2008 13:50
