A MAN has quietly said ‘Thank f**k’ to himself after an expert was called in to fix a problem which was slightly too difficult for him to attempt.
Nathan Muir expressed himself to be ‘pretty handy’ when he moved in with partner Lucy Parry, and regretted it when she then forced him to do a lot of tricky and boring DIY jobs.
Muir said: “I wanted to impress Lucy with my masculine knowledge and practicality but wished I hadn’t bothered when that translated into scraping decaying muck out of the U-bend rather than having hot sex in the kitchen with my work boots on.
“I’ve wasted days of my life awkwardly watching YouTube videos on my phone with my head jammed under the kitchen sink when we could have just paid a professional to do it while I watched telly and ate crisps.
“Luckily, this time even Lucy felt that fixing the leak in the water heater was beyond me, so we called in a wonderful man called Gary who did the job in 20 minutes without having to lock himself in the bathroom for an angry, frustrated weep.
“I think we both fancied him a bit, if I’m honest.”
