To think you can take one-track mindedness too far

This morning I got up early so that I could leave early as I needed to be in work. DH knew that. Walked out of the door, found DH had parked me in - fair enough, there were probably no spaces last night - so came back and asked him to move his heap of scrap beloved vehicle. He was just in the process of getting dressed.

Now, in that situation, I would throw on something like jeans and a T shirt and go out and shift the car. But no, DH insisted on putting on the full shirt, trousers, tie, jacket, socks and shoes and brushing his hair before he could do anything.

He got to the car and found a bit of dew on it. Again, in that situation I'd have had a quick wipe with front and back wipers, opened a window if necessary, and got on with it. It's not as if he was going to do anything with the car but move it into my space where it would probably gather more dew/rain. But no, DH had to find his hand wiper thing and meticulously go round the car wiping every window completely and immaculately.

I would have got out myself and shouted at him kicked his immaculate car door in if it wasn't that I really didn't have time to have an argument. But WTF? I suppose I should be grateful I didn't have to wait for him to shave, but only because he'd already done that.

YANBU.

YANBU this frustrated me just reading it!!

YANBU.
DH just doesn't seem to get time pressure in the morning.

I do every single school drop off as he works in the other direction and whilst he pays lip service to insisting that DS gets himself dressed he says "You need to get dressed or Mummy will get stressed", then he decides to have quality son/father bonding time or have a leisurely discussion about some interesting topic on Radio 4. When all I want to do is get out of the house on time.

Tbh id have just moved the car myself.

I'm with CundtBake I got impatient and pissed off reading it.

How did he justify this? That shows such lack of respect for your time, your work and you as a person. I would have gone in and packed his bags while he was buffing away...

YANBU. I got wound up just reading your post.

Could you perhaps move it next time? Least then you won't be waiting around for bloody ages!

I felt annoyance just reading that.

Couldn't move it myself because it's an ancient Porsche with a really weird key mechanism that I've never got my head round.

Mind you, perhaps I should have nicked the key and threatened to do it. The threat of me moving it and having the local lamp posts jump out at it would probably have got him shifting faster than lightning.

I guess there could be several interpretations, but just the basic facts annoyed me. Is he one of those people who won't be beholden to a woman, aka a "subordinate"?

I'd have moved it to the local pub car park, walked back, taken my car and wondered how long(in days) it would have taken dh to notice the car had gone. He's done it in the past to Ds when he parked stupidly so it's fair game here.
