To be really annoyed by this chair usage?

[GGabcd]

To set the scene:the bedroom I share with my spouse. Containing, among other things, 3 chairs/stools.

1 rocking chair
1 dressing table stool
1 additional stool just because it has no where else to live.

So AIBU to be really annoyed that every morning when I go to use the dressing table my spouse's jeans are over the dressing table stool? When there is another stool, or the rocking chair, right there?!?!

The spouse has to actually move the stool out from under the dressing table to throw the jeans on it!

Should I LTB or just remove the dressing table stool to another area of the house (I don't know where) and bring it with me every morning after my shower?

Do I really have to say lighthearted?

A touch of 'The Twits' about the suggestions to shorten or alter them. I'd love to do this or similar to my DH.

Tip them on to the floor and leave them there. Every time.

Leave something on the stool that makes it impossible to put clothes on top. I find that something with a strange shaped top and a plastic bag means that things slip off if placed on the top.

Can you tell I have a similar problem?

I have also put a big sign saying 'NO' on the place in question.

Ooh yes, shorten both legs using iron-on hemming tape, no sewing needed! That'll learn 'im.

So what does he say when you tell him about it? What is his justification for going to all that trouble to do something that he knows annoys you when it would actually be much easier to use a different stool?

I would tell him that the next time it happens you will be emptying a jug of water over them. And make good on the threat.

He insists he won't do it again.

And I don't really want water all over my bedroom, thanks.

Well, I have no update as he apparently threw the jeans in the wash last night.

Maybe tomorrow!

I like the spraying them accidently/on purpose, with perfume idea.

He's taking the piss.

what excuse does he give you each time ??

OK
Swap the dressing table stool, for the one beside his bedside.
watch what he does.

I would take the keys out and hide them. In increasingly difficult to find places.

My vote goes to the perfume spray option. Or just 'disappear' them and deny all knowledge.

When questioned you can say you assumed he'd stopped leaving them on the stool, as he'd promised.

My DH does the same thing with the laundry basket. It always has piles of clothes on top of it; the lid appears to be a wardrobe extension. Drives me insane. I'm the type who looks after her clothes and never goes to bed before hanging everything up.

Cut the crotch/bum cheeks out

What excuse? "Oh sorry, I forgot for the millionth time "

Get a reserved sign for the stool. No excuse for 'forgetting' then.

OP, remove the stool completely for week.

Watch what he then does

I've taken to putting DH's clothes on top of the wardrobe (on his side of the bed) or in the wash after he kept leaving his clothes, jeans specifically, on the chair on my side of the bed that I sit in to feed DD(5 weeks) because I kept sitting on sharp and painful belt buckles in the middle of the night assuming the chair was clear.
If he keeps doing it I'll be putting belt buckles in his side of the bed!

MummaV that's definitely worse!

Yesterday I had pushed the stool all the way under the table and moved the other stool even closer to his side.

He pulled out the dressing table stool...

He's doing it on purpose.

In the morning, tip jeans onto floor, replace stool on top of them.
Sit on stool and do your make up....Slowly.
Refuse to stand up until it suits you

As I said before Completely remove the stool/chair. Hide it in a closet or whatever
