Dilemma

Pighead

Pighead has just weaseled his way out of painting the room upstairs.
Miss Piggy asked "Are you going to paint that spare bedroom this weekend dear?", Pighead replied "Not tonight babes" and that was that. It was amazing.

Usually when that woman asks Pighead to do something she'll keep on asking until it gets done. Even if it means using violence or advanced hypnosis techniques. Turns out she's gonna do it herself. Disaster.

As everyone knows DIY shows up who wears the trousers. If Pighead lets his lady-friend paint that room there is a very good chance that he might find his whole relationship out of kilter for years to come. The subtle power balance that exists will be smashed to smithereens and next thing you know she'll be in charge of television duties.

On the other hand this may well be a reverse psychology trick she's pulling and at this very moment in time she's spying on Pighead chucking as he sweats profusely whilst seeking advice from a bunch of wasters, nerds and geeks on After Hours. This is really a tough situation and for the first time in his life Pighead is stumped.

Would you ever let your woman friend do a manly task around the house?

Let her do it. You have enough power in the relationship to get over this minor loss.

Or maybe she's up to something and is just trying to sweeten you up..

If she does even 1 job she asked you to do then you could be bringing yourself into a situation where she'll ration about 20 "you owe me" remarks on your ass. She'll never let you forget.

Get her some chocolates, chocolates fixes everything!

She's just left the house. Claims she's going to get some paint. Will follow her now and see if she's legit. Going to wear a hat and scarf. Pighead never wears hats or scarves so doubt he'll get recognised.

Pighead won't be getting any for the forseeable future.


Maybe Mrs Pighead has gone to get storage containers so she can move out. Or a vibrator to replace Pighead. The vibrator shall be called "Rabbithead". :eek:

No you cannot trust a woman to do this job, she will mess the whole thing up. This is a man's territory.

I say paint it yourself while she makes the sandwiches.

Watch this and let us know what number so we have a better understanding,
she also, could be "nesting" so painting could be the least of your worries

Has anyone else pictured pighead in a ladies scarf and hat? and possibly over large sunglasses?



Constant updates please pighead. If you have not gotten a iPhone, check the local car park, bound to be one on the ground there. Once attained, continue surveillance.

Next time you look for sex Pighead, she'll tell you to do it yourself!!

AnonoBoy

Once I let my ex-wife organise our home decor. I came home after a week away for work to find the place looking great but my wife in a foul mood.

I asked her had she got the painters in and she went mental and started calling me a sexist pig.

Bonito

Paint her insides white instead.

I don't think I want to know what chucking is :eek:

Pighead should take advantage of this quiet time.

Wertz

It doesn't need painting.

I voted third party but only becuse I'm a vested interest.

Tell her you should always get a professional in...it works out cheaper in the long run and if it's not right you can shout at them instead of at each other.

Ruu_Old

Set fire to the room to create a diversion!

Pighead

Hmmm. Seem to have lost her. Bit sneaky of her to take the car when it was obvious that if Pighead were to follow her he'd be doing so by foot. Nevermind. Will head down to woodies and ask if any sneaky women have bought paint today. Phone getting wet now.must stop typing and proceed with mission.

OldGoat

I think you need to bamboozel her with jargon from the painting world so that she KNOWS who's the right man for the job.
Talk about coverage and feathering and cutting in and how she should be extra careful when she takes all the socket covers off because there is a risk and danger of death.
She will be so in awe of you that she will run to the kitchen to make your favourite dinner and promise to bring you tea during your favourite tv show.

You can them put off the task till next Spring by 'explaining' how painting in the winter will cause the migraines with the toxic paint fumes. You will be a god (again) in her eyes.

flyton5

I think he actually has followed her to the shop...

Anyone else think that Pighead is sounding more and more like Bridget Jones as the years go on?

Paint the room for the love of God! If you don't you are setting a precedent for badly installed shelves, new TV's collapsing from the wall and floorboards moving under foot.

And what of the worst case scenario? She succeeds and replaces you as the man of the house. She goes on to become a success in the rejuvenated construction industry providing inspiration to women and robbing you of the respect of your peers.

LOL joking, construction is f****d:pac:

Let her paint the damn room ya spineless jellyfish.

Slaughter her and paint the room with her blood. That'll teach her to confuse pighead.

mystery sea creature

Get a third party in to do it.

Since when exactly was painting a room mans work anyway. Girls love painting walls, they can wear dungaree's and listen to 80's music... I don't understand your problem at all.

Pour milk\something doesn't smell now but will into the paint so it starts stinking after it is up. Hey presto, a woman has not proved up to the task. Then demand she take it all down. This will give you time to plan the next move in the battle of the sexes.

Jaysus, just paint the room.

It, unless its massive, will take you 2 hours max.

Problem solved.

Pighead is in the good books

..and any paint you have left over you can throw over some Eirigi cretin

Let her paint it, if she wants to. End of.

Absolutely. She'd be too busy doing it hopefully then to nag!

Pighead's not back from his surveillance yet. I'm getting worried.

Pighead

Just back from a very wet expedition around beautiful Dundalk town. (even in the depths of a miserable wet November evening, this town somehow still manages to dazzle.)

Opened the front door of the house to be greeted by the unmistakable smell of Miss Piggy's homemade soup. Ha Ha! The woman had finally seen sense and she was cooking some soup as some sort of "I was way out of line to challenge your authority Pighead" type apology

Strode purposefully into the empty kitchen and froze. Why was the kitchen empty? Why was there was no soup? Why was her dungarees not hanging in the dungaree press? It was about now Pighead realised that there would be no apology.

It all came flooding back. The last time she had made soup, Pighead had gently teased her about how he loved the way that it smelt and tasted of fresh paint. She had cried and poured the lukewarm paint-like soup over Pighead's head. There was a row which lasted for two days. It wasn't soup Pighead was smelling now. It was the smell of a woman ripping Pighead's pre-defined role in the house away from him. She had basically ripped Pighead's masculine pants off him and not in a good way.

Have just stormed upstairs and reclaimed part of the pants. Took her can of paint away and have hidden it. It's only a temporary solution though as she knows Pighead always hides stuff in the cupboard of darkness under the hall stairs. She's probably re-re-claiming the pants as Pighead types. The woman has gone mad. Don't know who to call or how to fix her. As Damien Dempsey once said "They don't teach this shit in school"

No, she will be singing 'I will survive' loudly & with gusto! Only hope at this stage, Pighead, is to join in & suggest a 'feature wall'. You, might then, survive yourself & she may even think you have a creative, sensitive side....

Pighead you've got to work smarter not harder!
Mix some oil based paint in with the emulsion paint she already bought & then allow her to go ahead with painting the room. When the paint dries & looks like crap you can tell her she didn't mix the paint well enough before she started.
Now before you start shouting "but I'll still have to paint it again", yes you may have to paint it again but at least next time that some DIY needs doing she wont try to undertake it herself.
You've got to think long term my man!

bonzodog2

Pighead my man you got got BIG problems extending way beyond paint. Good luck man.

mcmoustache

As seriously as you're taking this, I still don't think you realise how important it is that she doesn't succeed. It starts with DIY but it ends with you bent over a footstool, her behind you and pighead squealing like a....well.....a pighead.

This man has clearly never painted a room after assessing how long painting said room wil take.

Equation for how long painting pretty much anything at all takes:
x = [how long you think it will take] + [Exactly how long you have to do it]
