I am in big trouble and it is all my fault

I rang my partner at work and asked him if he had seen the dog this morning before he left the house.
He said the dog was in the bed (which he was)
I told him the dog must have got out of the cat flap (he is a Chi) and we could not find him.
Then I called him back to say someone had found the dog and he was 20 miles away. To get him back we have to go to a shop (on my partner's way home from work) and say the code word 'cake' to get him back.
My partner left work to come home and look for him...

This is an April Fool btw.. he is not going to be amused is he ?

So he's had to leave work (and probably lose money)? Yeah, I'd be fuming.

I think you owe him a big apology, it was a stupid thing to do.

oakleaffy · 01/04/2023 12:23

What a completely wankerish thing to have done.
I'm hoping this thread is an 'April fool'. because if I was your husband, I'd be looking to divorce such an unfeeling idiot like you.

Interested in this thread?

Inspired by this stupid post, I actually went to my local shop and said the word "cake".

Imagine my surprise when they went out the back and brought a dog in for me. Not a chi though, it's a huge black lab and its name is actually Cake.

Lord knows what I'm going to do with it. It's sitting in my living room at this moment looking very ill at ease.

Niceweatherseeker · 01/04/2023 12:23

This post is the April fools right?

WandaWonder · 01/04/2023 12:24

Reverse?

QuimIsASwearWord · 01/04/2023 12:24

I think you're April fooling us because it's hard to believe someone would think it's funny to make someone worry about something they love.

My dog actually did go missing for a couple of hours when she was a puppy, shes slipped her leash and it was horrible. I thought she'd get into an accident and had died or something. I'd seriously question my whole marriage if my husband thought that was a funny thing to do and he'd be furious if I did it to him, he was fighting back tears looking for our dog.

One would assume so.
Pathetic.

Chocolatesandroses · 01/04/2023 12:25

Not the slightest bit funny . I’d be in a right state if my dog was missing or lost and I wouldn’t find that funny at all . If I was your dp I would tell you to fuck off

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 01/04/2023 12:27

WTF? I hope that this thread is the "fool" and that you haven't really done this to your husband.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 01/04/2023 12:29

Another one here saying it’d be a deal breaker and the end for me.

ShandaLear · 01/04/2023 12:30

I thought April Fools was about spaghetti growing on trees or telling someone they had gravy on their nose or something, not faking a kidnapping. Are you Shannon Matthews’ mum?

MelsMoneyTree · 01/04/2023 12:30

Surely this thread is the April Fool. Anyone that invested in April Fool's Day would know the noon cut-off time and considering when this was posted, the joke (him saying cake in a random shop) wouldn't happen in time.

CJsGoldfish · 01/04/2023 12:30

Meh. No one is stupid enough to do this, surely?

HarrysStyle · 01/04/2023 12:32

This is such a horrible thing to do to anyone, let alone someone I assume you love.

I quite agree.
Our Puppy {many years ago now} was chased by two out of control Border Collies and he flew out of the fields and out of sight.
My son {then a child} was sobbing..and I was close to tears, too.
We ran after him, expecting the absolute worst, and a pedestrian saids he'd seen a small dog {Whippet} running like lightning up a certain road.

We found Pup on our doorstep.

A woman did divorce her husband over an incident with her beloved Whippets.
He'd taken them to the local RSPCA animal shelter!

It was obvious to the staff that they were in fine fettle, and well trained and unusual for such types to be handed in.

Anyway...Wife got them back and divorce proceedings were taken against the arse of a husband.

TrashyPanda · 01/04/2023 12:33

That’s nasty

id be so worried and upset

That’s not remotely funny- stupid nasty and childish.

He will have every right to be angry with you.

ShimmeringShirts · 01/04/2023 12:38

Well you sound like a catch 🙄

Are you not embarrassed enough without posting about it on here? Jesus, grow up love!

Oldnproud · 01/04/2023 11:40

Is this thread the actual April's Fool joke?

Let’s hope so. I’m just imagining the cries of LTB if a woman posted that her male partner had done this.

coffeecupsandwaxmelts · 01/04/2023 12:41

Aye, this definitely happened 😂

ChocSaltyBalls · 01/04/2023 12:41

sanityisamyth · 01/04/2023 11:42

This April fool is nearly as funny as my sister calling me when I was at uni 400 miles away to tell me that my horse was dead. I was devastated.

Your April fool was shit and I wouldn't be surprised that he's very very pissed off with you.

Wtf?! That’s awful!
