I am probably being a bit unreasonable but need to vent so bear with me!

DH went out in London and we had already agreed he was going to get the train back and then a taxi back from the station. He wanted to stay late and I wanted an early night because I'm feeling ill, which is why we didn't plan for me to collect him from the station.
So I was in bed sleeping and at about 11.15pm the home phone keeps ringing. It's DH in a panic because there are no more direct trains. He hasn't actually worked out what the options are so he says he's going to call me back. I ask him to call my mobile so I can go back to bed. He then calls the home phone again so I have to get up and go downstairs again. He tells me he can get a train halfway and then a bus. Great, I say, goodnight.
It would have taken him a few minutes to look up the fucking trains before his night out and work out the time of the last direct train. And when he realised he'd missed it, why the hell did he call me when he knew I was feeling ill and trying to sleep?! He could have found a solution himself without calling me.
So annoyed because I can't get back to sleep. I work full time at a stressful job and I can't afford to be ill AND tired.
OK rant over I will get over it. He just made a mistake and it's no big deal but... MEN. Why are they so clueless when they've had a few!

No not all men one day I will meet one of these men ha ??

QueenBean · 26/02/2015 00:25

I agree EatShit

It's a minor annoyance but nothing in the grand scheme of things - think of now much worse it'd be if he hadn't phoned at all or you had no idea where he was!

QueenBean · 26/02/2015 00:26

So even though it's annoying, YABU (sorry)

Men. Pah!!

(Fascinated by the bee shaving, though. Do men really do that? Must ask DP when he wakes up...)

Yanbu. Thoughtless of him.

Probably not all men but yanbu to be annoyed.

DisappointedOne · 26/02/2015 07:54

I have one of these too. He has a regular pub night once a month and not once has he thought to prebook his taxi home. So when he calls at 11pm and the taxi can't get there till 1am he walks (6 miles, pissed, on country roads, usually in the pissing rain).

No not all men. My DH has more common sense than most women I know. However yanbu, hope you feeling better today.

NameChange30 · 26/02/2015 08:18

Thanks everyone, wasn't sure I'd get any sympathy but it seems my DH isn't the only one!

As for "how much worse it would have been if he hadn't phoned"... er, nope. I would have had a proper night's sleep! I was already asleep not worrying about him! If he was really contacting me to let me know where he was he could have sent a text. If my phone was on (which it wasn't) I would have seen it. If I'd woken up worried I would have checked my phone.

Anyway he has apologised and is feeling very sorry for himself hungover this morning. Needless to say I'm not too sympathetic Wink
