about broken glass in the cupboard.

[heraldgerald]

I present this to the mn jury, and so I will just present the facts of the matter.

Person a says- I just smashed a glass in the cupboard.

Person b says, oh right.

Person a - I'll clear it up tomorrow

Person b- no problem

3 days later

Person a says... I'll just clear up that glass now.

Person b says... Oh goodness! Is it still there? I could have cut myself.

Person a... Well I told you it was there.

Person b... But 3 days ago! I would nt think you'd leave it that long!

Person a... Stop trying to start an argument.

Person b.... I don't mind that you smashed it. I don't mind that you left it. What I think is unreasonable is that you think it's ok because you told me about it 3 days ago.

Person a... Stop trying to start a row. Just drop it.

Ok jury.... Who is bu?

The lax glass smasher is BU on 2 counts:

Being lax,
Not allowing Person B to voice their problem with that behaviour, which is a bit controlling & uncomfortable.

Person A is being a cock for not just sorting the glass there and then.

It should have gone:
Person A "I broke a glass in the cupboard. Ive cleared it all up but be careful incase theres anything ive missed"

Person B wbu to not just say "why havent you cleared it up now? You cant just leave broken glass all over the cupboard?:

Additional evidence ..... Person b was being nice to person a because they'd had a late night on Saturday and actual glass smashing was Sunday evening, so person b thought person a was a bit tired.

I think they both behaved very oddly. You don't not clear up broken glass straight away. And I say that as possibly the least houseproud person in the universe.

I think it's very odd to leave it there in the first place! Very dangerous. Most people would clean it up immediately.

So really I don't know why person B was so surprised person A hadn't done it...when they were overly relaxed about it in the first place too!

"A bit tired" is not a reason not to clear up broken glass.

This is a windup, right? Because someone went out on Saturday they were thought to be too tired to spend thirty seconds doing easy housework the following evening? Seriously?

Surely if you break a glass in a cupboard (or anywhere else), the normal, reasonable, course of action is to clean it up immediately to minimize the chances of someone accidentally cutting themselves on the broken glass? And then tell other people who may use the cupboard about the broken glass in case they missed a bit when clearing it up?

Person a is unreasonable to leave it even one night, never mind three!

Honestly not a wind up I really promise.... Actual word for word dialogue your honour

Why wasn't it cleaned up immediately? Broken glass? In a cupboard? Recipie for disaster.

Mrsw, because person a didn't feel like doing it, and well that's just that around these parts. Person b has stopped clearing up after person a so that they do it themselves ....

And to reiterate the original Wibu.... Is it unreasonable to say 'but I told you it was there' instead of any kind of apology, modification etc.

*mollification

Yes, person A did say it was there .... but they also said they would clear it up the next day.

So, actually, Person A effectively said that the glass would NOT be there today, because it was going to be cleared up the day after it was broken.

Assuming, Person B is not psychic, they could not have known there was likely to be broken glass in the cupboard still and could have hurt themselves.

Person A is a lazy, argumentative, defensive dick.

Sorted.

You sound a right pair

Persons a and b both sounds like idiots. Being hungover isn't a good enough excuse to knowingly leave something as dangerous as broken glass.
Id be very surprised if anyone I know had broken a glass and thought "nah, cba with all this today, I'll sort that another time", because I don't think it's a normal reaction.
Hangover or no hangover, stupid thing to do.

You clean up broken glass right away, no matter if you're drunk, sick, or dying. I can't believe you both were willing to leave it until the next day.

Also, obviously person B didn't even notice the broken glass until person A mentioned it. So there really was no point in getting upset over what was already deemed a non-issue.

Both are being unreasonable... and lazy. Broken glass for 3 days and no one cleans it up or notices.

I think Person B is sick of picking up jobs that Person A ignores & is standing their ground. There are bigger issues here.

Person A for not clearing broken glass up straight away!

Who leaves a broken glass for 3days? Now I'm just wondering how long the washing up has been sitting on the side

The jury has started to conjecture! No dirty dishes. Cupboard very deep so and low so difficult to see.
