At sils for the evening a few days ago, when suddenly we smell burning.

Turns out dd had turned all the hobs on, dp had placed my bag (which I'd left on the hall floor with our shoes) onto said hob, and sil had turned the oven cut off on instead of the plug next to it.

Cue dp running outside with flaming bag.

Dp rapidly empties my bag, well the 'baby bag' so dds new shoes, cameras, clothes etc are inside, my beautiful wallaboo bag I'd had four years has a massive hole right through it, taking with it two whole outfits of dds, one converse, my camera charger and numerous daft handbag bits.

I go into house to help sil clean her hob and open windows etc, cue dp storming into the house calling me stupid, "why the fuck would u leave this in there really" swear shout stamp.

How silly of my to place my full memory card from my camera into a small zipped pocket in MY bag whilst out so I could pop an empty one in, I just cried. He sayes its my own fault.

AIBU to think in fact its not, yes it was an accident but why the actual fuck did he put bag which spends 99% of the time on the floor on a cooker hob!!!!

Nope, I am by no means a down trodden little women. It was sheer embarassment and him knowing the reaction he was about to receive when I discovered the warped memory card! Before anyone starts crying dump him and so forth, we have a very loving EQUAL partnership. He just puts things in stupid places. This is by no means a 'serious' aibu just me checking as of course my mum agreed it was a silly place to leave a memory card :/

A pocked of a bag is not as silly a place to leave something as a hob.

Troisgarcons, are you ok? Because you seem to be acting like a knob.

An electric hob is never the right place to put anything except a pan. I'm paranoid about mine and make sure nothing is ever left there because it is so easy to accidentally turn a ring on and not realise you've done it. He probably shouted at you because he knew it was his fault IYSWIM. I'm so sorry you've lost the pictures.
