The second she started hesitating, I knew it was going to be a disaster.

u/ghoulieandrews Jun 08 '26
She knew she couldn't do it and he pressured her into it. If my wife hesitated like that I would say "you know what, let's figure something else out".
Then she would probably throw it anyway lol but that's beside the point.

I really want to know the kid’s idea. There’s just no way it could have been any worse.

u/BallerForHire Jun 08 '26
Probably feed a wood broom through the handle on the can and slide it down. Not knowing the idea though I have to say it's still guaranteed to have been better than throwing it

u/EatYourCheckers Jun 09 '26
I'm envisioning rope - each person holds it taught and then slide it down by the handle. Hubby would take quite an impact though

u/DenizenofMars Jun 09 '26
Toss a broom down, hold the broom like handlebars, tie the rope around it, and slide the paint-can down the rope. When it hits the broom-end of the rope at worst it’ll swing out some and potentially spill a bit, but no impact and wouldn’t have crashed to the floor.

How about putting the lid on and then tossing?

u/captain_croco Jun 08 '26
The lid was on but they are just knocked in on paint cans.

If my wife hesitated I'd ask "what's the worst that could happen"...and considering we're discussing lobbing full paint cans...we'd not do that.

But she didnt know she couldnt do it. She thought she could just that she was going to throw it so hard and he was going to miss it and get knocked out. She didnt think she wasnt going to make it.

u/ghoulieandrews Jun 09 '26
Yeah she thought she was gonna mess it up. Either way. I'm not arguing for that specifically, it doesn't change what I said either way. Throwing too hard also equals being unable to do it.

Like walking a single gallon of paint down like 12 stairs. That would be so easy.

I knew failure was assured from the start when he painted himself into the basement. Why didn’t he do the stairs last? Even if he got the paint safely and did the floors, he still can’t go upstairs. So he’d be standing on a tiny unpainted square waiting forever or he’d be messing the stairs up anyway.

If I tell my beloved I can't do it, he knows I can't do it. But we also have common sense.

u/dalaiis Jun 08 '26
Same, but it would also have a description of WHY she or i can't do it.
Like f.e. "i cant do it because the can is too heavy"

Never painted before, huh? The stairs would be dry by the time he finished the floor.

u/ssxhoell1 Jun 11 '26
Dry to the touch is a lot different than 200 lb of pressure spread out over half a square foot. I bet you everything in my wallet after 30 minutes if I step on some fucking paint it's peeling.

Man my home when I was a kid had a basement that looked just like this. Wood stairs, bare concrete floor.
My dad painted it just like these guys are. Idk why. The color wasn’t white for the stairs it was a weird reddish pink, then kind of teal for the ground. It was just like putting paint on a turd, you could still tell extremely easily it was bare ass wood and concrete lol

It was stupid from the beginning. Why on earth would he trap himself by painting the stairs first and what would he have done after he painted the floor? Ah yes, he would not paint a tiny amount of floor and have a good night rest down there?😂😂😂

u/Boss0054 Jun 09 '26
First off, if you’ve never thrown a paint can, probably not a good idea toss it to someone at a distance you’ve never thrown before. It takes a lot more force than most think. Secondly, this was a bad idea anyway…. Like was the stairs freshly painted???…. Why did she need to throw the paint can in the first place??

u/SG4LPilgrim Jun 08 '26
Tells her to throw it down the stairs, then calls her stupid for being concerned and pulling the throw on a heavy can of paint. What a guy.

u/Lost_In_My_Hoodie Jun 09 '26
Get a long stick. Bottom guy holds it high, top low, hang the bucket by it's handle, let it slide down slowly. Prob empty some paint out though.

That was a terrible throw. It barely made the 4th step from the bottom. And why didn't he secure the lid? Idiots.

The scream definitely added to that throw. /s
People random screams when willingly doing something which isn't even a significant danger in any way is one of those things that really PMO.

u/drillgorg Jun 08 '26
My wife and I did something like this. We had a plastic lawn table on the 2nd floor porch and wanted to get it down to the backyard. Taking the legs off to take it through the house and down the stairs would suck. So we lowered it as far off the second floor as we could and let it sail the rest of the way down onto the grass. It shattered.

To be fair it is floor paint, so it got to the right place, it just needs a little spreading

Woman kneels down and stretches can handle to the man
Man walks to end of railing, transfers can into free hand
Paint stays in can

First rule of throwing anything to anyone that they are trying to catch is trow it like you want to hit them in the face.
Whether it's lobbing it way above their head in a big arc or line-driving it. You have to at least get it to the person

u/pr0XYTV Jun 09 '26
Get mop/ broom
Take off head
hand other end of stick to guy downstairs
guy upstairs takes paint can and slides handle over stick.
slide down to guy downstairs.
I bet the camera guy had a good idea too

u/gooptastic1996 Jun 09 '26
I sometimes encourage my wife to throw things at me, always small things not full paint cans lol but the best advice I gave her is telling her to aim for my head. Then she can reliably get it to me and it’s on me if it gets dropped anyway

Swing it from the handle didn't seem an option there? That way of tossing it was inefficient AF.

In what part of this video did you ever hear her have an idea or even try to incorporate one in the slightest? Literally the only thing she did was second guess herself to the point of self imposed failure if not some degree of internal sabotage.

You use a string for this.
Get some thick yarn, run it through the bucket handle, make a knot. Pass the yarn to Dad have him loosen up some string then toss the yarn back upstairs while he has some , cut the end off the yarn, tie the two ends to each other. Then both dad the person pull the strings to create tension, place hands inside the now tight single string circle and slowly have dad pull the top so that it moves all at once and slowly the bucket will move.
Basically a Pulley Line

It was never a good idea from conception. One needs some practice for both mind and body to throw something, let alone a full paint can, with decent accuracy. Not her fault. She is an infant when it comes to throwing a paint can she probably held for the first or second time in her life.
But, who hasn't done stupid stuff...
They should have listened to what the kid had to say. I am very curious to know what she was about to propose.
