To laugh at dh's 'problem'?

DH just came in to ask if I had done any tumble drying, as he had found one of his hankies, slightly damp, on the floor of the garage(where the tumble drier is). I hadn't done any and told him so. He's very puzzled and looked annoyed when I laughed at him... Blush It's not exactly the worst problem in the world, is it? How exactly should I have been a better wife?

I still don't understand. Where is the mystery? Confused

BigFatSpider · 16/06/2012 16:14

My brain hurts. Sorry OP, I just don't geddit.

Oh, if we're sharing dull stories of DH's being vaguely cross with you for astonishingly minor things, this morning DH woke me up convinced we'd been burgled because his cufflink box wasn't on the bedside table (it had fallen onto the floor but because he'd dumped his jumper next to the bed he didn't immediately see it).

My sin was to laugh at the idea the burglars would bypass the tv, dvd, games console, laptop, handbag/wallets and go upstairs, past me, around the bed and right by DH's head to steal his cufflinks. Apparently they're 'valuable'. Given that I bought 95% of them for him, I can categorically say no, they're not. But I am mean for laughing at the idea that international jewel thieves want his cufflinks...:)

I found my husbands missing passport under the tumble drier in our garage once ...... Or was it the washing machine?

I have read all three pages. I don't know why.

I know what's happening here .

Dh is frightened , as he has discovered that you clearly have a laundry performing ghost .

Now interestingly waiting to see if fore mentioned spook also does ironing ?

Can somebody call Derrick Ackorah and see if he can shed light on it ?
I'm secretly hoping that the medium will channel his spirit guide and find the answer to the worlds missing socks , perhaps the ghost is stealing them?

I've just read all of it too.... can I get that time back please?

mumhaveuseenmy · 16/06/2012 17:28

so where the hankie now then anybody know ? im still confused

droves · 16/06/2012 17:37

Standard responses ...

A) leave the bastard
B) he's having an affair
C) it's the MIL , causing trouble
D) it's the nutty ex
E) it's the nutty neighbours

Or D) ( and it's a long shot, but ) it's the man who's stalking you and living in the attic that dropped it , thus alerting you to the fact he's been sneaking into your garage and washing his smalls whilst you were out ? .

fairyfriend · 16/06/2012 17:40

Leave the bastard. How dare he question your laundry methods? Make him wash his own hankies in future, the sexist pig.
I'll bet he expects you to hang it on the line like some kind of hippy.

In fact, I think this entire post is just a stealth boast- how dare you have a garage when some people can't even afford cheese?

mumhaveuseenmy · 16/06/2012 17:47

sound like the plan is leave the basterd and make him take his chuffin hankies with him problem solved he he

droves · 16/06/2012 17:57

Fairy ...entirely a stealth boast . Op can afford proper hankies .Envy

...all I can afford is a tiny scrag of smart price bog roll . Wink

FairToMiddlin · 16/06/2012 18:02

I put it to you, members of the jury, that the OP has misled you into believing that the hankie had actually been washed.

However, there is no evidence that the hankie has been washed.

The hankie could be damp because it was a USED HANKIE.

The OP is therefore innocent of any slatternly housewifery.

The DH is guilty of dropping used hankies on the floor and is sentenced to using paper tissues for an indefinite period of time.
