AIBU to want to leave my fuckwit DP over this?

DP came round tonight and set my DVD player up.
He set it up on the floor, and left it on the floor with wires trailing everywhere in a chaotic mess.
He is such a fuck wit. I cannot believe how useless and pathetic he is.
I think I should kick him out the door now, perhaps after smashing the DVD player over his pathetic head.
AIBU?

He's pathetic?

And yet you're the one who needed him to come over to set your DVD player up Confused

Why didn't you do it yourself?

savoycabbage · 16/01/2012 21:21

Set your own DVD player up!

Goldenbear · 16/01/2012 21:22

You sound angry and abusive - I assume this is a wind up?

molepom · 16/01/2012 21:22

No, YANBU. That would drive me up the friggin wall.

I suggest hitting him over the head with the dvd player then strangling him with the wires.

How many cables are there? Mine only has 2. One for the mains and one from the player to the TV.

Shakirasma · 16/01/2012 21:22

Don't you sound lovely!

Set up your own DVD player, then do the guy a favour and dump him!

PurplePidjin · 16/01/2012 21:22

Depends if you have a small child or bunny who might hurt themselves on the wires.

Is there a reason you can't merely tidy up and give him an icy raised eyebrow while thanking him? Hmm

blueballoon79 · 16/01/2012 21:22

He didn't come over to set it up. He came over to bring me wine!
He just started setting it up (without permission I might add).

Oh Sad

You're serious. I thought you were joking.

WorraLiberty · 16/01/2012 21:24

Then why didn't you...

A.) Tell him to leave it alone as you'll be doing it yourself

B.) Thank him and tidy it up yourself?

tethersend · 16/01/2012 21:24

The tinkering bastard.

What a cunt.

Givememorecheese · 16/01/2012 21:25

You need your DP to set your DVD player up for you and you're calling him the useless fuck wit?

This has to be a wind up

nenevomito · 16/01/2012 21:25

Erm. Right. OK.

blueballoon79 · 16/01/2012 21:27

He is a tinkering bastard tehersend I can't believe his audacity.
Just last week he even ate his last rolo.

Oh dear God - he's not your P - he's your BF .... one who does 'favours' ..... thanklessly apparently.

troisgarcons · 16/01/2012 21:28

PS you can't leave someone who doesnt live with you .... you can merely ask him for the keys back .... if he hasn't left them on the mat first.

Flibble80 · 16/01/2012 21:33

He does sound pretty pathetic. I don't think you can do much better than a loser as a partner though so stick with it.

GreenEyesAndNiceHam · 16/01/2012 21:35

What an arsehole. Why couldn't he have just brought the wine and fucked off?

Tosser

Shutupanddrive · 16/01/2012 21:40

The wine went down well then

D0oinMeCleanin · 16/01/2012 21:40

I have an idea. We could swap. Mine buys loads of tecchy crap and doesn't have the first idea what any of it is for, let alone how to set it up. He very kindly leaves them in boxes scattered around the house until I give up and set them up.

You can have him if you like. I'll send his nice big TV and various other gadgets with him. You can't have the x-box, though, that's mine. I'll part with the wii. Maybe.

mamalovesmojitos · 16/01/2012 21:41

Leave the bastard. Immediately.

Birdsgottafly · 16/01/2012 21:42

OP i feel your pain. My DP (who doesn't live with me) does the same. If i buy something new but i want to leave it until i have the time to read the instructions and have a relaxing night, he wants to set it up straight away, he makes a mess and then i have to sort it out.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 16/01/2012 21:42
Hmm

Weirdo.

blueballoon79 · 16/01/2012 21:53

Thanks mamlovesmojitos thats all I was after, just one "leave the bastard" comment! Thank you ever so much!
He should have just brought the wine and fucked off, tosser that he is.
I'll swap with you Cleanin I already have an Xbox, so don't need another, could do with a nice big TV though!
