WWYD if you'd just got in from a 14 hour day?

[Givenupgivingashit]

Light hearted I guess but I'd be interested to see if anyone else is just totally wiped out after a manic day at work. Main job is NHS but I also work in hospitality to top up income. I've just got in from a mad day at the hotel where I've been setting up/waitressing and clearing up from a wedding.
All I've managed to do so far is kick off my shoes and flop on the sofa with a glass of wine. BF says I should at least go and have a shower cos my feet/tights stink and I've got gravy down my skirt 🙄
He has at least made dinner, but am I within my rights to tell him to fuck off just at this very moment?

I know you’re just having a vent etc, but one thing I did that you might find comfortable is wear thin black trainer socks under tights, you couldn’t see the ‘sock line’ when I put my shoes on. And I hated the seam of the tights getting near my toes so it made it more comfortable too.

14-hour day? I'd be straight into a very quick shower. I couldn't relax otherwise.

What job did you do that for? I don't know if I'd get away with it cos I occasionaly wear crocs if I'm trying to give my shoes a rest depending on how much of a running around day I've got. Might work for waitressing though

Ward HCA. But I always wore leather shoes and they were very comfortable so I was more than happy to have another hour in them (not walking around my home, just sitting in the kitchen) after a full day.

I actually think you’ll feel better for a quick shower and clean and more comfortable clothes/pyjamas. That would be the first thing I’d do.

Have you ever tried Snag tights? They're the comfiest ever - loads of my colleagues wear them too

Although appreciate you are knackered, I would feel smelly and sweaty after that long working, so I'd be taking my grotty clothes off, straight into shower then a clean nightie would make me feel so fresh.

I wouldn't take kindly to anyone else telling me that I had to do those things though!

I’ve not but are they the ones that advertise a lot of brightly coloured tights? They look great. I don’t actually do that job anymore though so I’m not wearing tights so much.

I used to work long hospitality shifts too when I was a student…. Admittedly I have a very strong sense of smell but I couldn’t cope with my own stench when I arrived home! In the future, I’d suggest he runs you a hot bubble bath for when you get home, candles and wine to hand. You can jump straight in and have a soak, drink your wine and freshen up, then into pjs whilst he’s sorting your tea. Won’t take longer than 15-20 mins.

Rather depends if your shift has been spent on your feet running around, carrying trays, serving people abd clearing dirty crockery.
a 13 hr day at a desk is a piece of piss compared. I know as I've done both.

Definitely not sat down. Men's prison. With all that comes with it!

when I come home from work (hospital, acute setting - often involving multiple types of bodily fluids) - I never sit down or touch anything (until i have washed my hands). although get changed before leaving, the change rooms are disgusting. clothes I wore go into a special laundry basket to be washed at 60 degrees and I hop into the shower. then I usually take my dinner to bed (I know it's rank) and fall asleep watching TV... I do this partly due to hygiene and partly because once I sit down after work, I just can't move....

Hopefully you are getting a well deserved rest now though Op. Take care.
