Heroic Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So yesterday the wife goes up for a nap and I decide to be a good hubby and do a grand romantic gesture. I shower, shave and make myself peresentable. She likes a nice fire in the fire place, so I clean up the front room, grab a comforter put it in front of the fireplace. Next I grab a nice candle light it up to get a nice scent in room. I go over open the flue turn on the gas and start the fire. So it's time to wake her up I'm going to grab a bottle of wine and some cheese I walk over to the fridge and then I sense that some thing is horribly wrong... The flue was previously open and I closed it! The smoke is rolling back into the house. Before I can run back every smoke alarm in the house goes off. The wife bolts out of bed to a house filled with smoke and me in running around in my boxers. There's so much smoke we have to pull the smoke alarms off the house current and then pull the batteries. We had a good laugh after the commotion died down. Final Score ======== Thought 10 Implimentation 3 She gave me a back rub by the fire as a start to a wonderful evening!

lonelyandfrustrated Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 LOL, I've accidentally closed the flue, too. We have 20' ceilings, so it took a while to notice. I will dare to one-up ya there, though. I invited H into the bath, had candles all around, ended up setting my hair on fire. Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 This reminded me of my own clumsy attempt at sex in the shower. Don't ask... Link to post Share on other sites
annieo Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thank you for sharing, it's nice to know that we all have our hysterically off moments Despite (or maybe because of) the flue gaff, your wife is a very lucky woman. Link to post Share on other sites

2sure Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I will dare to one-up ya there, though. I invited H into the bath, had candles all around, ended up setting my hair on fire.

PinkKittyKat Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hahaha, I loved this! It was a very sweet thing you did, and ultimately, now you have an awesome funny story. I once insisted a bf stay home on his birthday so I could make him a cake... like, REALLY, convinced him. He normally did a bar night and we all went out and got trashed. I Talked up how nice it'd be to stay home, and have a romantic evening in. (we DID so the bar thing on the Friday previous, cause I didn't want us to miss out on that!) I had put the wild salmon in the fridge to thaw, for his bday dinner. He had seen it in the fridge the night before, mistakenly thought was supposed to be back in the freezer, and put it away!!! So his fish was rock hard! We had pasta. BUT! The piece de resistance! A homemade birthday cake! Chocolate! Delicious! But I ended up turning the oven too high and burned the cake. It looked like a giant hockey puck. I felt soooo bad. He wasn't mad and said it was still a good birthday since I tried so hard. To this day, we've been broken up for YEARS, but I still feel awful about that one birthday dinner. Link to post Share on other sites
boldjack Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Stuff like this always happens when a person is trying their best to be Heroic or romantic or both. I was in Tokyo sightseeing and saw a group of Very beautiful women approaching, so I thought that the grand gesture would show how suave and cultured I was. As they passed I bowed from the waist and rammed head first into a parking meter. Anyone who thinks that Japanese people don't have a sense of humor should have heard the laughs. People were bent over crying and hooting with laughter. Traffic cops were laughing. Well, at least you can't die from embarassment. Link to post Share on other sites
