DP fell off his bike

35 replies

DP left for work this morning and set off on his bike. I watched out the window and the wind blew him off it and he landed in a bush.

He's been horrible to me for the past few days, really nasty, picking on me for no reason and just being a complete arsehole simply because "he feels a bit off".

This morning before he set off for work he was partculary horrible to me, throwing his clothes at me because they were not ironed to his standard.

So when I saw him fall off the bike I laughed. And I laughed harder when I saw him picking himself up from the bush...I was in hysterics as I saw him limping back towards the house with the bike in tow and when he got in I litrally had to hide myself away in the bedroom because I couldn't keep a straight face.

Now I feel a bit guilty although I still smile when I think about it. Is he turning me into a sadistic cow or would you have laughed too?

Ah - poetic justice.
But I suppose him falling off his bike was your fault as well
(my ex was like that. Note EX)

You enjoy your little laugh cherry, that is very good

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 31/01/2008 13:55

BTW Why doesn't he do all his own ironing?

lazarou · 31/01/2008 13:55

yes it was all my fault because I moaned when he wanted to buy an expensive bike...apparantly expensive bikes are less likely to fall victim to strong gusts on wind

Oh - and nect time he gets his (ahem) little soldier out for exercise, tell him it's not up to YOUR standard

lazarou · 31/01/2008 13:58

I can't stop laughing, especailly teh thought of him picking himself up and limping back. Did anyone else see him?

thank god its not just me

he normally does do his own ironing but when he's in these shitty moods he starts throwing his weight around and orders things to be done for him. I did the ironing because I couldn't be doing with a full blown row first thing in the morning

He would've hit the roof and kept on going if he'd seen me taking photos! would've been even more funny though

pmsl too "the wind blew him off it and he landed in a bush" - sounds like he got just what he deserves!

and next time he throws his clothes at you, put them back on the ironing board, put the iron on full, place it face down on top of them, and go and do something else!
Maybe then he'll get the message!

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 31/01/2008 14:00

He orders you? No way. Don't stand for that. You are his partner not his bloody servant.

georgedontdothat · 31/01/2008 14:00

I think I have actually cracked a rib laughing at your post

karmas a bitch

sugar34plum · 31/01/2008 14:01

lol love it reminds me off my exh.

driving home one day with dc's this twat on a cycle got in my way honestly cycling like he owned the road. so i bibbed and finger signed at him.

When exh came home he asked if id come home from school the seafront way past the train station. Yeah i did why? Did you honk at a cyclist and finger sign him? Yeah i did and i ranted on about what a twat he was and he should learn high way code. then i said why anyway?

Because i was the twunt you nearly ran over!

Oh i did laugh

cos he was an orrible git

minouminou · 31/01/2008 14:08

The wind wouldn't have blown him off a more expensive bike? So how does he explain all those heavy juggernauts on their sides on the M6 at the moment!

milou2 · 31/01/2008 14:19

I'm laughing with you!!

What is it about ironing that brings out the inner tyrant in some partners? Please tell us in a few days how you have resigned your post as ironing slave.

My husband complained about his shirts, so I stopped doing them. And I actually enjoy ironing, so how stupid can a person be, to annoy the person who until that moment got a quiet pleasure from doing doing this job??

I bet he'll blame you for the wind next. You could confess that actually you are the Goddess of the Skies and all nature is under your control. Getting carried away here

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 31/01/2008 14:22

Actually, we shouldn't laugh about the M6 situation. A 45 year old man has died.

lazarou · 31/01/2008 14:40

haven't heard about m6, why what happened?

charliecat · 31/01/2008 14:57

m6

NomDePlume · 31/01/2008 14:58

Obv M6 thing is tragic, but I am snorting with laughter at cherrycupcake's OP

lazarou · 31/01/2008 15:02

I wonder if he is still limping........
