AIBU to expect them to repeat it when asked? Just need a mini rant!
My 'D'H does this ALL the time. "Mumble Mumble Mumble calpol Mumble".
"Sorry DH, say that again"
"Calpol"
Me inwardly - aarghh, FFS, HOW many times are we going to have to go through this fucking vortex of conversation. If I haven't heard what you fucking said, repeating one bloody word doesn't take make any pissing sense. Does that mean he's HAD calpol, is due it, you want me to get it, whaaaaat.
I've had so many calm and not so calm through gritted teeth discussion pointing out if I haven't heard what he's said, repeating one word is pointless. And then it takes bloody longer to get to the point because I have to repeat again I'm sorry but I didn't hear you. So I don't understand what 'calpol' means. Can you say the WHOLE sentence again. While he gets all huffy because I'm not a beacon of serenity.
Feels like every fucking time. I know this is a minor irritation but gaah.
The way I used to deal with this was if I asked him to repeat himself and he was too lazy to bother then I thought it was too insignificant for me to respond and if he squally needed a response he would eventually repeat himself. But I can't do that now as we have a newborn baby and it's more than likely about him (such as the calpol).
