Would your husband…

If one of us would still up, we would get it for the other person. I have an average sized driveway in a really well lit part of the street so it wouldn’t be too much of a pain or scary. If he remembered and we were both in bed he would get it for himself and if I remembered I would probably just go and get it without waking him up.

I am sure they (including old housemates could), just like they could take their own hair from the plug hole! :D

Depends what it is, why it's in the bin and why I need it. I'm capable of fetching it myself.

He wasn't asking you to do anything. You wanted the thing and for some reason you seem to have expected him to go and get it. Why?! Why does the fact that it was midnight make any difference? Are you scared of the dark? Or does he have super night vision?

It depends on if he was going past the bin for any reason at that moment. Otherwise, I can’t see why it would be easier or less hazardous for him to get my item I put in the bin than it would be for me. At most, I might drip over a sheep in the dark or fall in a pothole in the drive but that’s about it.

If I mentioned it he would get it without me having to ask him. Which can sometimes be a bit frustrating if I’m fine to go myself 😂

I have a good friend who has a chihuahua, and I have never sseen anything less capable of attacking anything bigger than an ant.

What difference does it make as long as you get the thing back. Either of us would pop out and get it, it's not something we'd really get into a discussion about.
Do you live somewhere that dangerous you can't go to the end of your drive after dark?

I think the issue is more that it is an icky job and (as a man) I would expect to be called on to do icky jobs. My Dad never cleaned the toilet, but as Gen X, it has always been one of my jobs as an icky one.

I have absolutely read it all now.

An "icky job"😂😂😂

I mean I clean the toilet but it's not an "icky job" as everyone cleans after use if necessary.

@LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway lots of questions about his rant, ranting about pthers ranting and @Frogpole hasn't returned to answer them!

He could of course be riding on his steed to lay his coat across a puddle for his wife to walk across.

Who DOES that though? 😆 Do people use their chihuahua to attack others? I don't even know anyone who has a chihuahua! Or is using the word chihuahua a euphemism too?! I have so many questions about @Frogpole 's weird outburst! 😂

What is 'sicking your chihuahua?' Is it a euphemism?

"Siccing", I guess.

@Frogpole · Today 07:46

Good grief, do women really despise each other this much? Why are you lot sicking your Chihuahuas on people like @Startrekkeruniverse (who I've never talked to and isn't known to me, for clarity)? Why are so many of you seething in uncontrollable rage because someone has a different life experience or opinion than your own?

What's the obsession with tearing each other down, and this race to the bottom competition of "durr, my husband hasn't emptied the bin since the battle of Hastings so you should delete your post!!!ONE!1!ELeVEN!!1".

For reference, if Mrs Frogpole put something in the bin then realised she needed it there wouldn't be a moment's though or discussion, I'd just go and get it - not that she's incapable or even phased about getting her hands dirty, it's just not a very nice job and I'd rather do it myself so she doesn't have to. When we've heard a noise in the night I go and look to see what it is.. because I couldn't just lay there waiting to see if anything bad happens to her, and also because there's a 18" difference in height between us and a 150lb weight difference, at which point it's just a matter of utility.

Whilst I'm sure that makes me guilty of itsism and means I'm an ismist, you really shouldn't be act

You OK hun?

What is 'sicking your chihuahua?' Is it a euphemism???

And what does "ONE!1!ELeVEN!!1" mean?

Also, your are 18 INCHES taller than your wife? 😆 I gots to know, what are your heights??? Coz I don't know ANY couple with a foot and a half height difference between them! And an ELEVEN stone weight difference?! Are you sure you're not a bear, and she's a lamb?

Your wife or partner doesnt know how to clean a toilet?

I think the issue is more that it is an icky job and (as a man) I would expect to be called on to do icky jobs. My Dad never cleaned the toilet, but as Gen X, it has always been one of my jobs as an icky one.
That said, I can imagine if I was ordered out to get it in these circumstances, I confess I might be annoyed. A "sorry but I need you to do this for me" approach would be appreciated (sorry for my delicate male ego!).

The OP was murdered while retrieving the item from the bin.

That'll show us!

He'd get it for me ❤️

I would never ask anyone else to pick something out of a bin that I put there in error.
Regardless of where the bin was located.
Presuming you had a torch?

I thought they were joking when they told me! - then I realised they were serious (facepalm). Maybe I should have done the impression instead :-D

Too ladylike to change a loo roll…I’m getting visions of David Walliams in a dress 🤣😂🤣

You wouldn’t go to the end of your driveway at night?

Either you’re unbelievably timid or living somewhere extremely dangerous. Whichever it is, change it.

succinctly put @StormingNorman

I see op hasn't come back, but in case she ever does.... why should your DH go get something out of the bin that you put in there? And that you now need?

I think I need a discount on council tax then lol

This with bells on.

Nothing wrong with being aware of dangers - like not walking along with headphones on at night: the world is full of dangers for women. But expecting him to go when you've screwed up or because the bins are a man's job is embarrassing. Do without or go together.

I know a couple in their 40s who split their house jobs into pink jobs and blue jobs. The blue jobs - for the man - include changing the toilet roll. Their daughters are going to grow up pretty incapable.
