Ouch, Bad Call! One Man Claims He Will Never Ever Do The Housework Again After This Pressing Injury

It might well be the most painful ruse any man has ever come up with to get out of housework…

But this was a complete accident.

Tomasz Paczkowski is steering clear of chores from now on as the hapless guy is still nursing a serious injury he sustained last week.

Tomasz was ironing when he lifted the hot iron to his face, mistaking it for the telephone that rang beside him.

After his wife Lila Paczkowski said he wasn’t helping out around the house, he decided to do the ironing while she was at work to ‘prove a point’.

Ouch Tomasz...

“Women are always going on about multi-tasking, so I set up the iron, opened a beer and put the boxing on the telly,” said Mr Paczkowski, 32, from Elbag, Poland.

“It started out well, but then I got so involved in the boxing that I wasn’t really thinking about what I was doing.

“So when the phone rang I picked up the iron by mistake and pressed it to my ear.”

Mr Paczkowski added insult to injury when, dashing to put cold water on the burn, he ran into the bathroom door.

‘That gave me a black eye. The pain was incredible,’ he said.

Medics say he will make a full recovery from the burns, but Mr Paczkowski insists he’s off housework, and multi-tasking, for ever.
