To think I hit my husband with a door in a perfectly reasonable fashion?

Dh came into the kitchen/diner from the living room and decided to pour a glass of wine. Rather than walk around the bench he opts to lean over the table pushed against the bench from the dining room side, resulting in him standing directly in front of the main door into the kitchen from the hallway pouring his wine.

I came downstairs and walked into the kitchen and hit him with the door, thoroughly splashing him in red wine too.

He was disgruntled when I politely enquired

"What the bleeding fuck are standing in front of the door for?"

I maintain if you stand consciously directly in front of a door you should not be surprised and disgruntled if another family member opens the door, and that he should walk the extra four foot into the kitchen and pour wine like a normal person.

He maintains it is perfectly acceptable to take the shortest route and that the door opener should be more careful.

I maintain that he was justly hit by a door for being a dimwit and I am wholly unreasonable.

He got precisely what he deserved!

I like "What the bleeding fuck.............." which I intend to appropriate and use as my own from this moment hence!

was there anyway you could have seen him through the door?

could he hear you walking down the stairs?

HoneyDragon · 28/09/2015 21:07

The door is solid wood and no he wouldn't have heard me come down the stairs.

Perfectly reasonable. I was ironing in a galley kitchen, put the iron down and said "this is hot, be careful"
The reply was "obviously, what kind of idiot thinks it's cold"
As he leant over to put a teabag in the bin and singed his arm with a perfect V shape burn from the top of the iron
Hmm

Is the wine ok?

sugar21 · 28/09/2015 21:37

Why on earth was he standing behind a door BUT what is more concerning is the sheer awfulness of losing wine. This is extremely bad form

I would suggest a truce and two glasses of wine.

fififolle · 28/09/2015 21:39

White or red? Did you stain him?
I think that you are perfectly reasonable.

Was he pouring your wine?

If so he is doubly daft for taking such risks

The wine was fine, apart from what went on the floor and dog. We had a brief spell of mourning then resumed bickering like nine year olds debating.
