THEY’RE a female painting team working out of New Zealand.
And while Carli and Ash’s testimonials speak for themselves, the pair frequently face the same kind of comments from other people.
They took to TikTok to reveal the “things people say to us as painters”, kicking off with middle aged women who always jokingly ask: “Can you paint my house next?”
Older women also poke fun at the pair’s paint-spattered clothes, often commenting: “Do you get any paint on the walls, loves, or just yourselves?”
Ash and Carli surprisingly find that male builders are thrilled to have some female company on site, usually saying something like: “God it’s good to see some ladies around here”.
But older men are less supportive about their choice of profession.
“That’s no job for a lady,” the duo are often told by ageing gentlemen.
People in the comments were quick to weigh in on the pair’s video, with one writing: “Forgot about the ‘missed a spot’!
“That’s a classic.”
“literally said you can paint my house before it even come up,” another laughed.
As someone else commented on the paint-covered clothes, writing: “My clothes are exactly like that and my friends always joke around and ask if I went to work or painted myself.”
While another wrote: “I literally said did you get any on the walls as soon as I seen you.”
“haha thats so accurate,” another comment read.
“Brilliant I love it seeing women in the industry,” someone else wrote.
