To be angry at DH?

I woke up this morning and all of my hair bobbles (the spiral plastic type ones) had been stretched out of shape. DH admitted he had done it as he was "awake all night and bored". AIBU to be angry at him for this? DB thinks it's fine "because they are just hair bobbles", I'm going to have to get new ones now because every single one of them is stretched completely out of shape and are not usable now.

Why doesn't he scroll on his phone like the rest of us when he's bored? Weird behaviour.

Hide his car keys.

Really odd behaviour. I could see someone spoiling one, by fiddling with it and not realising it would stretch. What I can’t understand is seeing the effect you had on the first one, and then proceeding to burn your way through every item, ruining them all. This is deliberate, no? Is he angry with you about something, but sulking instead of communicating clearly?

Not volunteering to replace all of them is pretty contemptuous too.

That is very odd @Starsontheceiling. Like @ATerrorofLeftovers I wondered why your things were targeted.

The word 'knob' springs to mind.
Is this the first time your property has been damaged? Or have there been other incidents or accidents that have spoiled your day? Eg missed days out, off comments on your appearance, important 'things' disappeared to turn up later?

I'd definitely cut holes in his socks. Say you were bored. Then suggest he relates his socks and you will replace your bobbles.
