Have you ever been sent to the spare room?

Pighead · 27-06-2013 03:22PM #1

Sleeping like a baby last night when rudely awoken by Miss Piggy. Looked groggily into her big brown eyes but they were brown no more. They were red. Angry red.

Miss Piggy: You're snoring like a fcuking jackhammer. Piss off to the spare bedroom. I have to be up at 7 in the morning. I'm not sitting up listening to this noise all night.

Now Pighead had a couple of problems with this unprovoked verbal assault, main one being why the fcuk didn't she move to the spare room? Before she woke Pighead, 50% of the room were awake because of snoring. After she woke him, 100% of the room were awake. Basic maths in fairness.

Anyway, being a renowned peace-keeper, Pighead packed his overnight bag and headed to the west wing to the spare room. Was a bit miffed about it so staged a mini rebellion by building a sleep fort out of all her good cushions. Got in trouble the next day for messing with her cushions but it was well worth it.

To this day (a day later) Pighead is still convinced that she was in the wrong for sending him to the spare room but short of bringing the matter to court we'll probably never get a definitive answer.

So Pighead's question to After Hours today is: Have you ever rightly or wrongly been sent to the spare room. if you are single you can pretend that you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and construct a fictional reply from the creative part of your brain.

It would be great if we had a spare room..

But alas, I get the couch..

hoodwinked · 27-06-2013 03:28PM

i also have no spare room yet, so until next year its the couch

howamidifferent · 27-06-2013 03:29PM

As I am master of my house she would have to go to the spare room.

I once spilled half a can of beer in the middle of the bed and sent myself to the spare room while she changed the sheets.

Not proud of it, I was very tired and slightly drunk.

Couches are awesome though.. You can build your own fort with the cushions..

That will teach 'em.

bumper234 · 27-06-2013 03:33PM

She would be hearing two words from me....one of the words would be OFF. Can you guess what the other word would be:D

Jam

It has to be a jam off!

I once had to sleep at the other end of the house.
It's quite a long walk from one wing to another, these old castles can be quite scary at night.

podgemonster · 27-06-2013 03:37PM

Well LA-DE-DA with yer spare rooms! One apartment myself, we have no choice but to endure each others Snores, Burbs, Farts, Sleep Kicks and it only makes us stronger.

Part and parcel of any relationship is hiding your contempt for your other half and putting up with it and resisting the urge to smother them in their sleep because you love them.

bumper234 · 27-06-2013 03:37PM

Jaysus are ye all tick or what???

The answer of course is off!! You see i say off instead of of because saying off sounds posher than saying of!

paddydriver · 27-06-2013 03:39PM

Fcuk that.. not a chance I would leave the bed. She can wallow in my farts all night as far as I am concerned.

If you do decide to pursue the matter there I'd be happy to represent you, free of charge. I've argued before some of the toughest judges in the country, though admittedly this will be my first time doing so as a lawyer.

Don't worry, Everyone has a first time..

I have occassionally gone to the spare room to avoid smothering Mr P in his sleep when he's snoring. Snoring husband = sleep deprived and pis*ed off wife. Nothing short of surgery will cure snoring though. Besides I've woken myself up snoring a couple of times when I've had a flu/cold and he didn't complain so I can't really bitch at him for it:)

ItsNoAlias · 27-06-2013 04:31PM

I tend to stay in the "spare" room a lot... I just prefer having a bed to myself, it gets too warm otherwise.

castletownman · 27-06-2013 04:33PM

I don't think that there's a more deflating feeling for a man than being sent to the spare room for being too handsie on a worknight

Ash.J.Williams · 27-06-2013 04:37PM

i once had an ex thick with me all day ...managed to find out why eventually....i was snoring the night before...I could see her copping that she was being stupid when i told her "how the f** did i know....i was fast asleep"

NothingMan · 27-06-2013 04:38PM

My lady is one of those damn cuddly sleepers. She knows sending me to another bed would not be punishment as I'd sprawl out and sleep like a baby instead of waking up jammed against the wall or almost falling out of the bed with her trying to climb inside my skin.

Rabies · 27-06-2013 04:39PM

We have a spare room.

I've slept in it by choice once or twice. But i was sick. She has slept on the couch once because of my snoring.
Our spare room has a bed and another couch, but really its set up as my movie and playstation room

Agricola · 27-06-2013 04:40PM

Think its fair she booted ya tbh. Beds are for sleeping in. (yeah yeah and ridin') But if one person is making such a ridiculous amount of noise that the other person hasnt a hope of going to sleep, then that person needs to make trumpet sounds somewhere else.

Pighead is under the Thumb

cherryghost · 27-06-2013 04:47PM

Pighead sounds like you got the short end of the stick there. Myself or the OH just bugger off to the other room if we can't sleep for some reason, trying not to disturb the other in the process. I think you need to lay down some rules with her.

Royal Irish · 27-06-2013 04:49PM

I once checked into a hotel near my girlfriends house cause my back was in bits from sharing a single bed with her for a few nights.

Untrue. Pighead is subservient to just one person on this planet and that's his Mammy.

Only reason Pighead went to the spare room without a fight is because he was in the mood for making cushion forts. End of story.

the purple tin · 27-06-2013 05:27PM

How dare she! Get your own back by placing her morning cup of tea slightly out of her reach, Pighead.

pharmaton · 27-06-2013 05:37PM

I've several spare rooms but no, the last time someone awoke me with snoring even moving myself to the spare room didn't help ease the disturbance so I just made sure to never allow them in my house again and occasionally remind them what a loud obnoxious bastard they are.

Have you ever been sent to the spare room?
