AIBU?

To think that only a complete fuckwit wouldn't take a key?

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:17

DH (that is Dick Head) has gone away.

Train connections back were tight.

He knew this.

If connection not met them last bus back (into the sticks) would be missed.

He also knew this.

What a surprise. Things have not gone to plan.

And the stupid fuckwitted bastard hasn't taken a key.

I am not picking up. Today is my day off. (He knew this as well)

I am not leaving my front door unlocked all nihght in case the twat makes it home.

This also happens pretty much every time he goes away. Nob.

Put the key in a hidden place. Text him where.

SalemSaberhagen · 13/08/2016 17:19

I can understand you being annoyed, but not picking up? Do you mean not picking him up? Then I would say you are being a bit U there.

TheNaze73 · 13/08/2016 17:20

I think the issue is more than the key isn't it???

If my DP wanted a lift back I'd do it.

mrsfuzzy · 13/08/2016 17:20

he's been a bit of a prat, and you sound like a real dream tbh, why so hostile ? may be ibu ?

ShatnersBassoon · 13/08/2016 17:21

Forgetting a key is hardly a punishable offence. What do you expect him to do? Kip at the bus station?

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:21

I am not picking up. I am tired. I want a gin and tonic and bed at a reasonable time. Not staying up until who-knows-when.

I wouldn't expect anyone to do that. I would arrange things properly so I could get home under my own steam.

And I would take a key.

You sound mightily pissed off over something that may have been an oversight. Unless there is a history of this sort of thing it sounds like you're a bit of a nightmare.

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:22

He was fully aware of the above when planning.

AgentJ · 13/08/2016 17:22

YABU and bloody nasty. If it was him at home and you'd missed a connection and this was his reaction there would be a unanimous LTB. Perhaps he should take that.

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:23

It's not an oversight it is completely thoughtless twitters. Again. As usual.

OP posts:

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:23

I wouldn't miss a connection. And if I did I would have a back up plan.

suspiciousofgoldfish · 13/08/2016 17:24

You sound like you hate him

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:24

I'm quite fond of him usually. Just now when he's been a dick.

OP posts:

VladmirsPoutine · 13/08/2016 17:26

Perhaps you should set the poor man free.

FeckinCrutches · 13/08/2016 17:26

Taxi home, key under the mat, sorted.

I do not understand your fury over this, it's his problem. Unless he is a gigantic bellend all of the time.

purplespottedelephant · 13/08/2016 17:26

What would your backup plan be?

Because I know that it that was me in that situation my partner would come and get me regardless of the time or distance he had to travel as I would for him.

We can all be a bit nobbish at times but I would never leave my partner stranded with no way home whether it was my only day off or not.

MsKite · 13/08/2016 17:26

It sounds like this isn't the first time this has happened? If he expects you to drop everything because he can't be bothered to take a key, then Yanbu. What would he do if you were away or if he lived alone?

Leave it under a flower pot then text him where it is. Go to bed as per and include in your text he'd better be quiet when he gets back, and not to foget the ( insert corrrect digit here ) friggin stair creaks and would wake the living dead.

f83mx · 13/08/2016 17:27

Put a key out somewhere safe, have the gin and tonic and get him to get a taxi home at £££, he might organise things a bit better next time!

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:29

The poor man couldn't cope without me sorting out his duck ups and making alternative travel plans.

Taxis are somewhat difficult in The Sticks. It's not like a proper town where you just phone one or stick out your arm. You have to book about 7 weeks in advance and risk it not turning up and being stranded.

ShatnersBassoon · 13/08/2016 17:29

He's buggered up a bit and made the mistake of thinking you'd help him out. Leave the poor sod a key.

Well this time you're the one being a dick.

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:31

I will of course forego my gin. And stay awake until God-knows-what-time because the taxi thing won't happen.

But really. It is a bit irritating.

OP posts:

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 13/08/2016 17:33

It's not just leaving out a key. It is the no taxi situation.
I will pick up but it will be about 1 or 2 in the morning. Then I'll be knackered tomorrow.

It is really unnecessary and annoying.
