To cancel next weekend away because DH made me late for work?

Because of 'D' H hiding one of my shoes this morning I was late for work. I got into trouble and in order to keep the peace I offered to work saturday instead. This has in effect, cancelled a weekend away I had with DH which he was looking forward to. Totally his own fault IMO or have I over done it?

I'm with you. Although I think it was a practical joke that's gone slightly wrong Wink

He hid your shoe so you couldn't go to work??? WTF!

AKissIsNotAContract · 14/05/2012 21:10

If you would prefer to work on a Saturday than have a weekend away with your DH then either your job is amazing or your relationship crap.

First... How did you marry a six year old?

Second... In what universe is being a bit late for work one morning grounds to surrender your weekend?

Weird weird weird.

Hassled · 14/05/2012 21:10

Was the shoe-hiding some sort of "joke" that was actually about something else? Or is he just a tit?

SecretNutellaFix · 14/05/2012 21:11

He deliberately hid one of your work shoes?

How puerile his sense of humour must be. Seriously? What was his reasoning beyond he thought it would be funny?

NicNocJnr · 14/05/2012 21:12

I was ready to YABU but what? He hid a shoe? If he was having a joke he should have 'found' it before making you late really. It's ashame he has lost out on the weekend but he's not 4!

I would have to keep the peace at work, it's not worth losing goodwill over when you might need it for a proper reason. Silly sausage.

NicNocJnr · 14/05/2012 21:14

It may seem weird but my work don't have enough people to cover an early without notice. Sickness is different than lateness.

But if I have to call in because of the kids or an emergency they are good about it, my colleagues pick up the slack and I appreciate it. I wouldn't want to throw that back at them over this tbh.

lardylump · 14/05/2012 21:14

do you only have one pair of shoes?

PhatCheeks · 14/05/2012 21:19

I only have one pair of work shoes, yes.

I only have one pair of work shoes. I don't find it odd that someone may not have the fre funds to have a closet full.
Work shoes, play shoes, wellies. Otherwise it goes on the kids.

AllYoursBabooshka · 14/05/2012 21:20

What has he said? Confused

OhdearNigel · 14/05/2012 21:22

perfectly reasonable that people not employed in an office only have 1 pair of work shoes. When I was a police officer I had one pair of work boots, likewise when I was a pastry chef.

Catsmamma · 14/05/2012 21:22

is this the husband who hid a workman's shoes one day??

someone has isshoooooess

:o

Softlysoftly · 14/05/2012 21:22

No main question, why did he hide your shoe?

lardylump · 14/05/2012 21:24

ok, so you have one pair of shoes for work and he knows this.... so why did he hide your shoes?

because that would tell us whether or not he was being unreasonable.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 14/05/2012 21:26

Isn't it punishing you to cancel the weekend away too? Couldn't you have just done an hour at the end of the day?

It's like when you tell your per schooler that you will have to go home if they don't start behaving nicely, then you have to abandon your coffee and gossip.

AKissIsNotAContract · 14/05/2012 21:26

But surely working on a Saturday is a punishment for you, not him.

AnyFucker · 14/05/2012 21:26

somebody has a shoe fetish...

Fairenuff · 14/05/2012 21:27

OP you have actually made me 'watch this thread' because I really, really want to know now. Why did he hide one of your shoes?

McKayz · 14/05/2012 21:29

Me too Faerie. Added to watch list!

Why did he hide your shoe? Is he like my dog who collects shoes and hides them in his bed?

whothefuckputmeincharge · 14/05/2012 21:30

Come back OP and tells us why he hid your shoe

OhdearNigel · 14/05/2012 21:32

maybe the Op would rather make her point than go away for the weekend

lardylump · 14/05/2012 21:41

maybe the op cur off one trouser leg off all his worksuits... and he his her shoe for revenge
