Waiting here too

RawCoconutMacaroon · 05/05/2015 21:15

Waits patiently for the whole story.

Jessica2point0 · 05/05/2015 21:16

I need the full story - I thought it was just my DP who didn't understand the word "hurry".

Penfold007 · 05/05/2015 21:18

?

PlanningMyFuture · 05/05/2015 21:18

Oh no....not another one.

An ass has four legs and it would be impractical for it to be in bed. You mean arse don't you? Smile

Northernlurker · 05/05/2015 21:19

Maybe it IS a story about a donkey. That would be quite a thread.

SummerHouse · 05/05/2015 21:19

Are you my DP. You promice a rant at 21.10 and by 21.19 there has been absolutely no progress.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 05/05/2015 21:20

Damnit I've been suckered in!

PlanningMyFuture · 05/05/2015 21:21

In that case, perfectly reasonable for 30 minutes to get a donkey out of the bed. All that grooming, mucking out, feeding, water, haynets. 30 mins is about right.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/05/2015 21:22

Maybe OP is American. Or Canadian. Our backsides are called asses over there and the natives have no idea what an arse is.

Mind you we also call bum bags "fanny packs" because fanny means bum / arse / ass and not fanjo.

balia · 05/05/2015 21:24

What kind of emergency would require an ass? An urgent and unexpected nativity? Has the leading ass broken something and this is DH's ass's chance for stardom?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/05/2015 21:24

Sorry, I do realise all this our / we / they business is confusing in my post. I am confused myself. Nationally I hover somewhere mid-Atlantic. Although the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that I grew up in Canada because I started a post with Sorry.

PlanningMyFuture · 05/05/2015 21:25

I think that OP's husband managed to get his arse out of bed quickly in the end and OP has nipped down the off-licence for a bottle of champagne.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/05/2015 21:27

This donkey business is much funnier than anything I could come up with.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/05/2015 21:27

Maybe she rode the donkey to get the champers.

FenellaFellorick · 05/05/2015 21:28

Depends what you mean by urgent.
I'm guessing if there was a fire in the room he'd have got out quicker Grin

Taz1212 · 05/05/2015 21:30

I would have said ass as well and then wondered why everyone thought I was talking about a donkey, when clearly I wasn't implying we had a donkey in our bed American roots showing Blush

Is Hee Haw-lways that slow OP?

attheendoftheday · 05/05/2015 21:32

AIBU to expect the op to post the story within 20 mins?

PlanningMyFuture · 05/05/2015 21:33

Maybe it was auto-correct. Perhaps she meant to post bass and he is a fisherman, but it came out as ass.

SummerHouse · 05/05/2015 21:38

I think OP's ass is waiting till 21.40 before updating.

Would a carrot help?

PlanningMyFuture · 05/05/2015 21:42

My BIL was constantly being told by his wife that he was so lazy. But he just didn't get it! So she had to get it for him.
