The toiletries bag (light hearted)

A stand- off is happening in my house.

I was unpacking the shopping in the kitchen when we came home and all the bath/ shower things were in the one Morrisons bag. I asked him to 'take this bag of toiletries to the bathroom'. He did, when I went upstairs however I chuckled to myself to see that he had simply put the large bag down on the floor of the bathroom and not actually unpacked it (classic DH). I told him I thought it was funny and that he should have unpacked it. He replied with 'you never asked me to unpack it.

Over the following days the bag has remained on the floor, only DH has taken what he needs out of it as he needed it! So I started doing the same! Now only a few items remain in the carrier bag that has been on the floor for almost two weeks.

Dh won't move it because...he doesn't want to. and I won't because I unpacked all he other bits of shopping!

We are both well aware of the bag and tension around it is building, who will crack first? I know I didn't tell him to unpack it, but who leaves a shopping bag unpacked on the floor!

AIBU to ask for your similar stand- off stories?

MrsKoala that just made me laugh out loud. Sorry, I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time. I'd have been silently fuming!

DP was trying to prove he could do one of the challenges from The Cube last week Hmm He put a ruler on the floor to show he could walk up to it with his eyes closed.

Yep, ruler is still there.

DH got a delivery and the bag is still on the armchair. How long will it stay?

I'll preface this by saying that DH is the most wonderful man I know. I'm so pleased that he's my husband and he is endlessly kind, generous, patient and interesting.

I came home from work one day and went into the bathroom. The bathroom floor and sink were covered in hair. DH had decided to give himself a haircut, then, when he was happy with how it looked he just . . . wandered away?

I'd forgive him most things, but there is no way that I was going to clear up all the hair in the bathroom. He has thick dark hair and there were PILES of it!

In the days following this, every time I went to the bathroom I had to jump over the hair, and had the tap on as low as possible so as to disturb the hair in the sink itself as little as possible. I can only imagine that he was doing the same. Despite best efforts, hair got stuck to my socks and feet, and the bottom of our mattress sheet got progressively more hairy where we'd brought hair into the bed on our feet.

After a week I cracked and asked him to clean up the hair. His response was something like, "Of course! I keep meaning to do that!".

So funny, Dani! I know it isn't malicious; they really don't seem to see or care! God, it's hard to live with though

I've got to know, is the bag still there?

Pipbin · 14/06/2015 23:45

I had forgotten but I need to know now too.

My DH leaves dirty laundry on top of the laundry basket. Like wtf. How much effort is it to take the lid off and put the dirty laundry inside?
