to have thrown a bottle of ketchup all over the kitchen

[pompncircumstance]

at 6am this morning in rage because OH was giving me the silent treatment because I didnt take the bin out yesterday!

And now I have to clear the whole lot up. It doesnt look pretty!

YANBU, but please, if you're the one who'll end up cleaning it please launch something (unmessy and hopefully unleathal) at dp instead!

kidsncatsnwine my mother, when equally pushed by my foul brother, knocked him down and kicked him with her bare foot and broke her toe.

Oh he was 'orrible and he was number 3 child so she had been through it already with my sister and me.

Mind you my sister stayed 'orrible and difficult all her life and ain't going to change now.

"Its usually a build up though, isnt it? You would not throw anything as a reaction to one stupid thing."

Yes it is. I get fed up of being on my own all day with LO and never seeing anyone because we live a long way from my friends and family and he is always in very late from work and I guess I just get frustrated.

Anyway all your stories cheered me up today! Ha, I am not alone in throwing mad stuff about the place.

DS1 was being a PITA when he was about 8, and was refusing to do anything I asked him.....so I ended up pouring a glass of milk over his head.

I once tried to throw an ironing board at Dh, however I decided against midway and sort of hit myself over the head with it. It also causes him great hilarity to remember the time when I searched the kitchen for something to throw and settled on a plastic collander - 'tis true, I didn't want to clear up the mess!

I feel for you pomp my ex once thumped his hands to the living room floor with a plastic bottle of ketchup in his hand... it exploded EVERYWHERE, over the TV, DVD/CD rack, walls, ceiling etc make sure you clean it well off ceiling and walls cos I made him clean it up and he didnt do very good job... ended up with greeny blue stains on ceiling!

I'm a thrower, havent in a very long time must be mellowing in old age, DP was annoying me one evening during argument so i picked up his dinner he was eating and threw it in the bin, plate and all!

OMG you lot have really cheered me up. OP, you only really need to do one major outburst, then everyone will be terrified of you forever, which is really quite a satisfying place to be. I have fantasised over the crockery smashing scenario, although I know my DH is the sort who would just leave it for me to clear up, and I wouldn't clear it up, so we would have a crazy paving kitchen by accident (thinks: would Grand Designs like that??).

I've done this once at work (been there over 20 years) when I went into meltdown a coupla years ago after 19 years of patience. Suffice to say, no one's crossed my path since that ugly moment...

There was once a time when OH had gone out in the nick of time and it was the wallpaper or him...

He came back to find me calm, the walls stripped completely bare, he looked slightly baffled and asked if we were decorating.

When i was 18 me and DP had just moved into our first flat, i was working 10 hour shifts at a local pub. When i got home DP started moaning asking why i hadn't done the dishes before i had left. After about ten minutes or so i walked into the kitchen, grabbed the few plates that were in the sink, and said shouted "YOU WANT MEEEEE TO WASH UP..... FINE!"

A very loud crashing sound soon followed... we ended up using plastic bowls for a few days after that.

A few weeks later, while having another heated discussion he said he was going to throw my phone out of the window... That resulted in me grabbing the brand new watch i had just bought him, and throwing it out the kitchen window.

A hour or so later when all was calm again he asked where his watch was, i told him in the garden. He had thought i was messing, that night both of us ended up searching a very overgrown back garden with the smallest torch known to man... In the rain. We aren't as bad now hopefully

"OP, you only really need to do one major outburst, then everyone will be terrified of you forever, which is really quite a satisfying place to be". -
Well he came home tonight as if nothing had happened so maybe it doesnt work for him!

Its ok for him. He has been out swanning around at work,drinking cups of tea,eating poncy sandwiches in his office while I have been on my hands and knees cleanings ketchup off everything.

...and the worst thing was my daughter who is 11 months was sat in her highchair laughing at me while I was doing it. What she found funny about mummy scrubbing the floor I don't know!

Next time make sure it's something he has to clear up! And the ignoring bit is all part of it. You should have left the mouldering ketchup and pretended it wasnt' there. Harder to do than type though!

at Jareth's BBQ-sauce dog.

one of them moments where it feels great at the time to let out your anger, but then looking at the mess, suddenly it don't feel so great...

I once got into such a temper with Dh I really wanted to hit him, but knew if I did I'd have really stepped over the line.

So I ripped his shirt instead. Started by ripping the pocket off, then just tore it apart. He just stood there looking like the Incredible Hulk (only not so green or 'hulky'), saying 'but I really like this shirt' in a sad little voice.

Next time I'll tell him to change into something he doesn't like before I start .

this thread is hilarious :o

I'm not a thrower either, I'm so unimpulsive it's quite annoying!

I was once really cross with DH as he was refusing to come downstairs and help me catch a mouse that was running about. He was been all smug and condescending and sniggering. I threw an empty wine glass at the dining room wall. DH reckons that he found mouse blood on the floor later on and it must have cut its foot on the broken glass.

aww viva poor little mouse. I actually felt quite emotional then!
Ripping shirts I have not yet done but I have screwed a few up in front of him and thrown them on the floor after he moaned I hadnt ironed them properly!

Errm how old are we all anyway? Im 30 and OH is 38!

YABVU would you find it acceptable for your dc to throw a tantrum and throw tomato ketchup all over your kitchen.

YANBU. Sounds like he was being infuriating. You didn't tip it on his head, or belt him with it, so that's fine I'd say, for an unusual, one-off event.

Huddspur, he wouldnt, he never goes in the kitchen!

I love a good rampage - only last week I stabbed the washing up bowl - and this thread has given me some fantastic new ideas!

1ce threw (x)dh's clothes out of first floor flat's window . Twas v satisfying to see him pick them all up. Also threw my engagement ring out of same window, but was in box, so was able to find it! Now have dc's leave tantruming to them in general. Just tend to go to bed now...can't imagine feeling that level of temper now, hope I don't.

Dp once dissapeared mid rant and returned with a washing basket over his head for protection

I say no more.!

a thread of radges bragging about hitting dh,hissy fits,and throwing -isnt big isnt clever

if a man posted this brag about hitting or wanting to hit and throwing stuff.it would all be leave him/abuser/call womens aid

Oh come on Scottish, who is bragging about hitting OH? I have and will never hit a man even though they have me.
It was supposed to be a light hearted thread and everyone else seems to think so too.
It was not supposed to be clever and if you have never thrown a hissy fit at home I would love to know how!
