AIBU? "Any danger of a cup of tea is there?"

[Meandyou150]

Does your partner/ husband asking for a cup of tea in the above sarcastic way get on anyone else's tits?! ... Or is it just me?!.....
What's wrong with "would you mind putting the kettle on?!!!"....

Err no! That's not a request by any means! Wouldn't get anything more than an 'err no..?' response from me.

Nope - he is the tea maker in this house. I do sometimes pretend to be dying of thirst and not able to talk and it takes a while for him to get it but we get there eventually.

FIL:

'If you were thinking of making yourself a cup of tea, I'd quite like one too'.

Grrr...

Mine asks would I like a cup of tea; then when I say yes says "I'll have one too while you're at it". Never wears thin, that one

A workman once said this to me. He was actually in my tiny London kitchen (which had to be largely gutted to replace the old boiler) at the time, while I was desperately trying to meet a book deadline at the desk in my bedroom. He had been shown the kettle and a cupboard full of tea and coffee and cups earlier, and invited to help himself. He wasn't joking.

I don't drink tea, and my lovely DH always says he wishes I did so he could make me tea.
Or maybe he wishes I'd make him a cup, .

'Is the kettle broken?, just switch it on and see won't you?'!
Generally said by my boss.
DH is the tea maker of our house I'm far too lazy to do it half the time, plus his are nicer.

That's just terrible , I hope you got that poor man his tea .

Just so everyone knows- daddy guy is actually the other half in question!!!! He's only logged on and made himself an account when I said I was posting this on here! .... Men!!

That's good. I was about to lay into him. .

Arghhhh every single time my dad walks through the from door I get "Any danger if you sticking the kettle on?"
While I am trying to get my three DCs sat down to eat etc.
It grates on me.....

So bloody glad I don't drink tea or coffee, nobody ever asks me to make them one, cause the answer is a bloody great NO. And never having any tea bags in the house and the jar of coffee is so old the granules have welded together.

Tell DaddyGuy that during the time he messed around logging on and posting here he could have made that tea. And made you some as well.

And made you some as well.

And started the washing up.

Your dead right ladies!

It's rather adorably dorky from my point of view, but I can imagine that it might become tedious after some time.

Your reply should be not unless you're making one

from some plasterers in my house 'what;'s that guy's name, from the A team, black guy, Mr....'

Me 'T'

them 'don't mind if I do'

I get a similar to ptumbi - DH always asks 'what comes after S?'

me: no idea babe, I didn't learn the alphabet at school you ninny

He never asks me as he doesn't think I make tea properly - equally I never ask him to make me a coffee as he never does it the way I like it.

Fortunately we are much better at anticipating each other's needs for a glass of wine or beer.

Oh dear. That's not the way to go about it now is it?

I often say to my husband 'Are you making tea?' and he just looks at me and laughs and says, no, but would you like one?

Most bizarre, I realise I should just say 'would you please make me a cuppa' but somehow, this seems less direct!

Works for us me

We do weak feeble coughs if I say please turn kettle on while your up
We live in flat so bathroom is next door dh starts talking to the kettle and chatting it up etc and comes in to lounge saying the kettle is really horny now I had to move toaster
We have a brew nearly every hour when we are both home so

daddyguy I bet a biscuit wouldn't go amiss either

*stirs pot

It happens a lot

In my defence, whilst I'm sat down, clearly showing no signs of moving he will say to me ' Ooh, get us a beer whilst you're up'

Makes me laugh and I often do so.
