To kill my DH when he gets in?!

There has been a wooden garden chair out the front of my house since the first weekend in December when DH put the Christmas lights up...

It is really chunky and heavy and doesn't fit through the gate to the garden, so it has to be carried through the house, in one go so as not to mark everything in its now dirty, damp, slimy legged state. I've asked DH to please carry it through pretty much every day since he left it out there..

Today, I came back home and the bloody chair gives me such rage every time I see it, so I thought, fuck it, it can't be that heavy, I'll do it!

  1. Why has he picked the chunkiest chair we own to do this job, and why not simply a stepladder?! Who f*ing knows!
  1. Yes, it really is that heavy!

So first, I have to remove a box of rubbish he has placed on the chair which promptly the bottom falls out of due to dampness and goes bloody everywhere. Then I notice an elephant ornament I like is secretly broken in the box so I'm already at quite a heightened level of pissed off-ness.

After I've picked all the rubbish up, I realise the door has blown shut and I've locked myself out.

I manage to get the garden gate open and run the spider gauntlet down the side and slip straight over as I step on the slippery decking.

Into dog shit.

And the back door is locked.

And I've Really hurt my wrist.

And the bloody chair is still out the front!!

I go back to the front door and knock and knock till my 3 year old answers the door.

I carry the chair (with hurt wrist) through my hall, into the kitchen and scrape the whole white wall.

I practically throw it out onto the decking and count to ten.

My wrist is now very swollen and kind of purple.

I have dog shit on my coat.

There is rubbish everywhere.

I've destroyed my kitchen wall.

It's all his fault...

WIBU to kill him?!?!

I just want to protest about this situation. Here I was abandoned in the garden with all this crap left on me for several weeks while everybody just ignored me. Then I was hauled about and banged off a wall covering me in paint in the process. Why didn't you bring me in weeks ago? It wouldn't have taken very long. Yours sincerely and battered and bruised, the Chair. P.s. next time you see me out in the garden please just bring me in instead of waiting on your DH to do it for you. Equality my dear equality!

My god this sounds so much like my life. If anything OP you've made me feel better about my personal circumstances so thank you.

ScrambledSmegs · 05/02/2014 11:16

Is he still alive this morning then?

Hope your hand is ok today.

MissMooMoo · 05/02/2014 11:26

this sounds like my life!
I have been waiting 1.5 years for my dp to do something that he promised me he would do when we moved into our current flat.
we are getting married next year. ....should I get out whilst I still can???

OP put some ice on your wrist and yy to smearing the dog shit on your dh's coat!

There is a thread on Digital Spy at the moment about this topic. It is not very complimentary about us MNrs.

One person thought that DH stood for dumb husband!

Gruntfuttock · 05/02/2014 12:50

I've just read it, Drudge. Very vitriolic.

I've just read it, Drudge. Very vitriolic.

I think it's quite funny Grin

That would explain the prevalence of bridge dwellers at the moment. They'll be coming over from there to wallow in their oh so superior intellect and attempt to discombobulate us lot.

Been done before. Didn't work the last time. Grin

I hope your wrist is better soon.

Coumarin · 05/02/2014 16:48

Ah. I had wondered at the sudden intake. Explains it.

curiousgeorgie · 05/02/2014 18:35

Oh dear, should I not read it? Wink

You can hear about how were a bunch of man and MIL hating loons who never work, always agree with each other and put mooncups in our dishwashers. Oh and if we joke about stringing a man up we'll be doing ot for real tomorrow Grin

I think they are mostly men who feel very threatened by women talking to each other. They don't seem to have any idea that you don't have to be a mum or even a woman to be on here.

The accusation I find most amusing is that we always back each other up. Don't we circle those days in red?

HellonHeels · 05/02/2014 19:33

I think you should pick up the dog shit more frequently. Pretty grim leaving it lying around. Hope the wrist feels better soon.

Goldmandra · 05/02/2014 19:41

I think you should pick up the dog shit more frequently.

Maybe you should put a nappy on the dog so the shit never makes it to the decking in the first place Grin

For people that claim to hate Mumsnet, how do they know so much about it?!
