To get really irritated when DP takes forever to understand something??

[ShutUpMeg]

DP: "did you get a response to that email?"
me: "just an automated one"
DP: "an email to confirm?"
me: "an automated email"
DP: "did they confirm they'd received it?"
me: "no they just sent an automated email!!"
DP: "and did that confirm it?"

Jesus H Christ!!!

another example -

DP: "What are you doing wednesday?"
me: "working then going to cinema"
DP: "so is it your day off?"
me: "err no, I just said I'm working"
DP: "so you're not going to cinema?"
me: "yes!! after work!!"
DP: "oh I see! so you're leaving cinema until next week?"

wtf??? am I speaking in another language? is he TRYING to piss me off by playing on my general lack of tolerance??

I think Al is right.

It's like the Nazis all over again.

Yes,yes it's all about me.

After all, I was the one that started name calling....oh wait that wasn't me was it?

Op, I think you are married to my DH
I think it's funny, I like to know he isn't the only one.

Sypathies Op, I do sometimes get exasperated with my 'very clever outside the home' DH when he seems to totally fail to grasp something that to me is bloody obvious and I don't know how to simplify it any more. On the other hand I also have a habit of launching into a conversation from a thought process in my head which he was not aware of obviously and he is wtf is she on about? works both ways I guess

Hully, you just lost the thread. You mentioned the Nazis.

Al. You're wrong. I'm right. In all things. Always. Deal with it.

::Tee starts her dictatorship. One step at a time::

KLAXON THAT WAS A JOKE!!! THAT WAS A JOKE!!! THAT WAS A JOKE!!! THAT WAS A JOKE!!!

I thought I'd get em in first.

Oh and I don't think the op called herself nasty, patronizing, and I don't think she was feeling intellectually superior to her DH.
I also did not call myself a twat.

Please let me know when the app is launched, it will save me having to issue multiple directions to a fucking drawer.

Seriously what is your fucking problem? This is aibu, someone asks for opinions, others give them.
Perhaps you could signpost the threads we're allowed to give actual opinions, and the ones you have decreed to be lighthearted and we can only simper "yes your'e right laff laff giggle".
Just so the rest of us can keep up. Maybe we don't all think as fast as you and can't manage.

ARE YOU INSANE?

My fucking problem? I don't have a fucking problem. Had some excellent fucking just the other night, in fact.

BTW thanks. This is the most fun I've had on MN in ages as you froth over nothing!!

Me? Actually, yes. I am insane. I have an diagnosis and everything.

[proud]

Opinions are different to name calling isnt it?

It's very early for all the swearing and seckshal intercourse.

What the rubbery-fuck is going on here????????

Unbelievable.

OP. YANBU

The insane thing wasn't to you tee

Oh. Damn. I was enjoying telling people I'm insane. Cuz I am.

oh dear thats me that is im awful and will go round the houses before i give a direct answer to DH , he gets fustrated and i get confused at what hes talking about , i think im wired all wrong and pull faces a lot , maybe your Partner is distracted and not switched on wheny ou ask him something Im sorry he fustrates you maybe keep questions short if he is a bit dim

Is anyone having problematic seckshal intercourse right now?

Oh was it to me?

I am also insane!

But it's not funny to laugh at the insane you know.
It's nasty intolerant blah blah ........

Right this second? No. Right this second I am drinking coffee and speaking to y'all. My husband has a late meeting today so he's playing with The Son while I ignore them both and get accusing of having a FUCKING PROBLEM on MN.

My DP does this too, yet at work he's super-organised, people are always saying how great he is and on top of everything. So it's not that he's stupid, and if I laugh at him for it I'm not mocking stupidity. I'm just exasperated that he switches off his brain at home. I think he cultivates the Mr Clueless vibe at home to avoid having to take responsibility for things.

I don't get at all why people are struggling with the first example. You told him you got an automated mail. That's all you got and all you knew at that point, you shared the information with him and had no further answers for him. Think people are being as unintelligent and / or pedantic about it as he was being.

Eek it got a bit sweary there ^!
Al, I can see what you mean but you do sound a bit highly strung this morning

I am highly strung this morning, but I do still have a point. Still as long as they have a laugh at others, right? Its not ok to call someone intolerant when they are, but its ok to laugh at those you think beneath you.

Oh, DH does this and it's very frustrating. I know it's because he's not actually listening to me, he's admitted as such. I don't blather on about nonsense, this is normally stuff he wants or needs to know.

So ok, I might be intolerant, but he's rude.
