Things my husband asked me today (light hearted)

MN BINGO!

Surely he can use his wrist or forearm if it's really hard to tell.

My first reaction. My GOD, I'm glad I'm single.

I do this one sorry!

And it's because, as far as I'm concerned, these clothes are dry. However, if I bring them in, then there is a probably 20% chance DP will go "Why have you brought these in, they're not dry.

I cannot help this. To me the clothes feel as dry now as they will in another hour at which point DP will be happy with them. I physically cannot tell the difference.

So my actual question is "This level of dryness is acceptable to me, is it acceptable to you", but if I say that apparently I'm just being a twat.

Good for you! Last time my dh tried it I returned the favour. A message every minute or two -should I cook or x or y for dinner, do you want a or b with it, should I roast or steam the veg, what time should I cook for, how long should I cook y for, do you want pudding, what should I make, do we have milk?. He got the hint pretty quickly which is miraculous in itself 😂

I've got that Sabrina Carpenter tune as an earworm after reading this thread🤣.
"Manchild why do you always come a running to me.......".

Would she accept a trade-in? 😁

Oh, and to add - this was because he got up "late" (7am) and hadn't had his breakfast or a shave then his phone "pinged".

It all goes back to an outpatients appt from MARCH which was a follow up to a "heart attack" (yeah, they kept him on a trolley for 72hrs, and he has a vast cardiology history) or more likely "angina attack" 15 MONTHS earlier.
The hosp gave him 30 days tablets - the GPs have just had a copy.

At the bottom of the letter=>

New referrals will be seen within 15 months.
Follow up appointments within 24 months.

I feel the pain!
Mine asked one morning when I took him a morning cuppa, if I'd been out early for a run. Unusual in itself, but I was stood there in my pj's & specs...🤣

I've had the kids for three days on my own. My wife has been on holiday with her friend. Now i thought i had it nailed frankly...

I've just been on our village facebook page, and someone with a knackered fridge has posted asking if there are any scrap men available. My wife, comedian that she is, has posted my photo with "may need some attention, free to a good home".

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Phoned me from town asking where he would buy stamps from and how much they would cost. Pointed him in the right direction and get a call a few minutes later... how many stamps do I have to put on the (standard) envelope 🤣

Mine:

Him: What tablets did I order? Why have I had this text? They (GP I assume) say I need a blood test after 3m (you took ONE in MARCH before you told me you felt ill and stopped) I'm not taking those.

Me: did they issue your repeat prescription?
Him: I don't know, I need to mow the lawn. goes upstairs to change Are these "Statins"?.. these in my drawer are the "statin" NO THEY'RE NOT they're heart meds (angina) that you were supposed to go back after 5 days and have an ECG, but wouldn't.

Honestly. I've checked out already to a point.
I won't let him kill himself, but he does have to sort his own shit.

@ButtSurgery 🍻 cheers. Even though mine will phone from bloody Morrisons I've stopped that too because he can't find something I've drawn a fucking map for!

And breathe....

My ex once had to stop his dad from ironing a (nylon/polyester) football shirt with a very hot iron.
His dad is a professor of metallurgy.
Apparently his extensive knowledge of metal production didn't translate to how garments made from man made fibres would react when exposed to extreme heat.

Let me introduce you to my DH sometime. Absolutely no additional needs or ND whatsoever, not a scrap, but a deep sense of entitlement that I am his secretary/PA/fount of all knowledge, can be asked anything and usually have an answer.

(To be fair, I usually do have an answer, but not always the one he wants to hear.)

YANBU, that would drive me mad.

Well yes I would assume some additional needs somewhere

Oh god my BIL is like this - calls my sister CONSTANTLY asking stupid questions. It would literally drive me insane. I don't even like being asked "what time are you back?" when I'm going somewhere 😂

I’d asked my Ex husband to pick up some new potatoes once….

he rang me asking how he’d know which ones were new and which were old 🤔

Yes, that's why I said "commonly." 😊

My brother was in the Navy too and commented once about how hard it is to adjust to civilian life - so many things in the forces are 'taken care of' that you don't have to think about. Though on the plus side, I think he is very good at ironing.

I have been asked every year for 18 years what date is Christmas this year, not day, date.
It is that predictable, I started taking bets on when in October or November I will be asked said question.

I was at work (early shift) one day and he rang me, most indignant, wanting to know "Where's the instruction book for the iron?"
Apparently I'd committed the cardinal sin of putting one unironed shirt in his wardrobe amongst all the ones l had ironed.
And he genuinely thought there was an 'instruction book' which gave you an idiot's guide how to iron a shirt.
When we split up l taught him how to iron. Even bought him a cheap iron.
I kept the good cordless one, though.
