To be annoyed with DH about this?

[HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer]

We don't really go in our understairs cupboard very often as we tend to put shoes that we wear regularly in the hallway. I tidied the understairs cupboard a few weeks ago, and got it organised as storage.

Anyway, went in there today and DH has been cramming things in there, literally throwing them in the door, that he is too lazy to put away. His football kit, sports bags, assorted empty water bottles, some clothes of his (!!), coats, paperwork from work, all sorts of things, all thrown in there in a jumble and everything I tidied and organised has been messed up too, presumably when he's looked for things or got things out. I opened the door and everything just fell out.

AIBU to be really pissed off with DH and tell him there is no point in me bothering to keep the house clean and tidy when he has shown blatent disrespect for things I've tidied. He's normally untidy but this takes the mickey.

YADNBU I would be incandescent with rage and would be seriously tempted to chuck it all in the bin (although I would probably settle for dumping it in the boot of his car!)

Did he know that you'd organised it?

Yes, TimeWasting, and in any case it's never been particularly messy. He has basically been putting things in there he's too lazy to put elsewhere.

It was really tidy and is now just a heap of (his) stuff

I second dumping it all in his car, but I'd put it in the driver's seat about half an hour before he's due to leave for (well maybe not work) but football practice or somewhere he wants to go.

We share a car, but he does have a work van so could dump it there. Or was thinking of putting it all in the garage so when he wants to find X or Y he won't know where it is.

retidy it and make it perfectly clear that anything dumped in there in future will be designated as rubbish and will be relocated to the bin.

or better still get him to retidy it.

My front porch has been tidy for three weeks now since I almost killed myself tripped over shoes and school bags and had a terrible tantrum family discussion about not being the maid.

YANBU - that would really piss me off too.

Oh, God, I spent the whole weekend tidying and then my partner comes home and the first thing he did was try to wipe his greasy unwashed unhands on a freshly washed towel. When I told him to wash his hands first, he did so, then flung the towel he used to dry them on the kitchen counter instead of back on the hook. Sounds petty but I was so irritated.

He then spent the next two hours saying "looks lovely in here, we need to try to keep it this tidy". Er yes, we do!
