I apologise if the title offends.

I have a (not so D)H who is working very hard at the moment, Leaving the house around 10am back around 10pm

Last night I was feeling very drained from a tough day with the boys aged 3 & 4 as they had been whiny and clingy, I had earlier gone out to the site to deliver donuts and drinks to him and his friends who are working together on a big project. Came home made dinner, put his in the microwave ready for him and sent a message saying I was going to bed. He replied ok

Then he comes in storms in the bedroom ( I was asleep) going why the hell are you in bed?? where am I supposed to get dry after my shower (rather than dry himself with a towel, he spends around an hour with a hairdryer blasting him whilst he fiddles on his phone) I respond, I was asleep it is one room of the house, use a different one, he grabs the laptop slams the door storms off, comes back and says oh I suppose I will have to sort my dinner as well, i say yes its in the microwave

Shower goes on

Then off

Screw you its my damn house and if I want to relax in my bedroom I will.

At this point I move onto the sofa, not wanting to provoke a big row, figuring fine he is just stressed.

So he gets dry (hairdryer turned full whack) turns the hall light on wakes up the eldest boy, who is happy to see him and he him, bangs and crashes about getting his own dinner. We haven't spoken since.

We have been married 7 years and I still hate the noise of the stupid hairdryer, WIBU to respond to any further rubbish with its insertation? There is another hairdryer that lives in the study, so its not as if I was suggesting he didn't use the stupid thing

You need to buy him one of those big stand in airdryers you get as swimming baths.

MugglesandLuna · 23/08/2011 19:07

Is he very hairy? Doesnt it all go a bit bouffant?

NevermindtheNargles · 23/08/2011 19:07

My DH is 1/4 wookie (on his father's side) and he doesn't need a hairdryer to dry himself.

I would probably put up with it if he did (while filming it and putting it on youtube), but I certainly wouldn't put up with being woken up like that. Has he not even apologised?

diddl · 23/08/2011 19:08

An hour a day-at least-getting dried.

What an absolute waste of time.

Bloody hell - that's costing you about £200 a year in electricity! As a conservative estimate that's about a third of our annual bill.

Red2011 · 23/08/2011 19:21

For some reason I had a blindspot about the drying his BODY with a hairdryer. WTF???? Agree very expensive, and late at night very unreasonable. Take the fuse out of the hairdryer! I don't even use one on my hair... just let nature take its course (which is probably why my hair is always such a sodding mess).

PorkChopSter · 23/08/2011 19:26

Another question - what did he do during his drying hour in the days before mobile phones?

Shutupanddrive · 23/08/2011 19:27

I'm sorry I think I would actually kill him (with the hairdryer), I hate being woken up at the best of times, never mind in your situation! Angry

HairyGrotter · 23/08/2011 19:31

I am more accepting of the assumption that he is a werewolf than, for one moment, believe that a man uses a hairdryer, ever.

He sounds like a tool and quite frankly, I'd ram that hairdryer right up his tight anus and watch it do it's magic.

He sounds really useful to have around the house Hmm

Can anyone link to the aforementioned cotton bud thread?

MadameOvary · 23/08/2011 19:50

^^ you dont wanna know. Seriously.

MadameOvary · 23/08/2011 19:51

YY film it covertly and put it on Youtube

HuntForGalaxyHazelnut · 23/08/2011 19:52

Obviously
The cotton bud thread seems to have been deleted. A poster's husband had an itchy bottom and was relieving himself by sticking cotton buds up there and then leaving the soiled cotton buds around the house (including on her bedside table).

It was horrible.

shuffleballchange · 23/08/2011 20:00

Ah men are strange sometimes. But really? Waking you up? That in itself allows insertion of something. My husband knows better than to wake me up. he does some wanky things sometimes but waking me up would have dire consequences.

Surely he must burn himself occasionally with the hairdryer? I'm going to try it tomorrow, it might be fun.

He does deserves some praise though for being able to multi-task, hairdrying AND fiddling with mobile............................

landrover · 23/08/2011 22:49

bump for more laughter

rhondajean · 23/08/2011 22:57

Just read through this and cant stop laughing. The cotton bud thing in particular put the toenail clipping I found under the coffee table into perspective.

OPs hubby does sound strange. Hes also had a bad day and hes lucky he isnt married to me or he would have had one less hairy bit to dry for waking me up and shouting at me.

However Im sure I remember some celeb of the Paris Hilton ilk getting a huge walk through drier installed in their bathroom cos they were worried about the cleanliness of using towels (it looked like a huge hand drier or one of the step in driers they have at Alton Towers and my local swimming pool).

Is it a hygiene thing with him?

CardyMow · 23/08/2011 23:30

OMG and I thought Ex-DP was weird! No, OP, YWNBU to insert said hairdryer in a convenient orifice. AND I would have tipped his dinner over his head. Your DH has big ISHOOS!

StealthPolarBear · 23/08/2011 23:33

c'mon Apocalypse, spill

pictish · 23/08/2011 23:40

Erm....my dh sometimes dries off with a hairdryer.....never struck me as being particularly weird, but there you go....

OP - hairdryers aside, he was a fucking arse to you.

FetchezLaVache · 23/08/2011 23:44

My ex used to dry himself with a hairdryer too. Well, just his bits, actually. It was part of his morning routine. I'd be in the bedroom getting dressed and doing my make-up, and in he'd walk with a towel wrapped round his waist. He would then pick up my hairdryer, switch it on (I'm not sure what setting he preferred) and aim it up his towel skirt, all the while looking at me as if daring me to object.

As I say, he's my ex.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 23/08/2011 23:50

Ok, ok.

Dp os hairy, very, very hairy. Because of this when he gets a shower he doesn't dry for some time, it's especially awful if he gets into bed straight after, like cuddling up to a damp sponge.

Anyways, because of this I dry him Blush

With the hairdryer Blush

As he changes direction like a chicken being basted on a spit BlushBlush

I also LOVE warming my feet up with the hairdryer Blush

VictorGollancz · 23/08/2011 23:52

The first time my partner had a shower at my place he paraded out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, as is normal and accepted - but he'd accessorised with a natty cape that he'd fashioned from a second towel. He looked like Sherlock Holmes, if the great detective favoured white-ish cotton.

I pissed myself. He still does it and I still laugh. If he'd whipped out a hairdryer I probably would have given myself some sort of laughter-induced injury.
