To be fed up by fuses being taken from one appliance to sort another?

our dishwasher fuse blew. Dh said it was because I 'yank' the plug out when it needs to be unplugged. He changed the fuse and took the fuse from the deep fat fryer. This fuse blew too and again he said it was because I yanked it?! Both were same day. He changed it again and I realised this morning when I took the toast out of the toaster that he had replaced the fuse this time with the one from the toaster.

He feels this is perfectly reasonable and said this is what happens in 'normal' houses. I can't believe people just ,ove one fuse from another appliance (particularly those used daily)

I am being unreasonable to have commented that this is frustrating and that perhaps a fuse should only be changed when a spare is available unless it's an emergency?

Hi all, thank you so much for your help.

I have bought fuses and ( think!) I have changed the fuse in the toaster but it is crackling and smells of burning. Really stupid question but hope you might know - it's a dualit toaster and there is mo cover over the fuse- it literally slotted in(dh will shout at me if ask!). It this the way it should be or us there likely to be a cover? Second question is the plug says 13a so I have assumed that means it needs a 13 amp fuse- again sorry to be being stupid but would love to get this right.

Thank you for all if your help!

Sorry, should read no cover over the fuse!
