To have a wry smile as "karma" bites DH on the arse?

DH has been in a foul mood since he got out of bed. He has sneezed once a cold. The house is cold as the boiler has broken, so he's been huffing and puffing since 7.30.

This morning he used up the last of the loo roll in the bathroom and (not unreasonably) wanted to get dressed before he replaced it. DDog started fussing at him, she got told to bog off. In the meantime DS goes to the loo. DH rants and raves at him about not looking before he used the loo.

Turns out DDog is fussing as she needs to go into the garden. While he's ranting at DS, she's had an accident in the kitchen. Which he now needs to clear up. If he hadn't spent 5 minutes whinging at DS about loo roll he'd have got DDog out in time.

I doubt he'll see the link, but it has made me smile. I'm planning on taking DS and DDog out for the day, I think we all need some space.

Not seeing the Karma... Confused. Or the amusement factor in running out of loo paper.

JohnCheese · 24/10/2016 10:20

Love the answers OP. The sheer cheek of a wife not to notice her husband's needs while she was DOING EVERYTHING ELSE.
No wonder he was whinging - his needs weren't being met. Oh wait, that's babies.

You mentioned a dog.....Grin

Have a lovely day out. A bit of space. Bring back some bog roll as a little treat. Grin

Farmmummy · 24/10/2016 10:25

I would skip the wry smile and get straight to great big cheesy grin Grin

HoneyDragon · 24/10/2016 10:25

Why do you need to get dressed to replace toilet paper?

The way I see it your husband flipped his shit at a child and dog for wanting to go to the toilet. His actions made it difficult and humiliating for both of them. Because he was being a selfish cock.

jayisforjessica · 24/10/2016 10:30

Fess up, OP. It was you who was responsible for Third World debt and the holocaust too, wasn't it? You really need to pull your socks up and think about what you're doing. A bit more commitment from you wouldn't go amiss.

;)

(In case it's not clear, I am having a sneaky giggle at your DH too. What a big baby. If I'd been there I would have made myself a sandwich and perched on the counter offering him "tips" while he cleaned it up. But I'm a delight like that :P )

Bitofacow · 24/10/2016 10:39

A wry smile? A sneaky giggle?

I would have laughed my arse of

Bitofacow · 24/10/2016 10:40

But Navy it would have been no where near as funny if the dog hadn't peed.
Comedy Gold.

BravingSpring · 24/10/2016 10:46

If you were that low on toilet paper the first adult up (regardless of gender) should have let the dog out, put some kitchen roll in the bathroom and then popped to the shop, everything else could have waited 10 minutes. Poor dog.

Spudlet · 24/10/2016 10:46

Oh op. I can't believe you didn't reach down through the loft hatch, down the stairs, through however many rooms and around however many corners required to open the back door. Wife fail

DoinItFine · 24/10/2016 11:05

Are you not maintaining your Mrs Tickle arms adequately?

How lazy of you.

Opening doors is women's work.

QueenLizIII · 24/10/2016 11:08

What do you mean karma bit DH on the arse?

no one understands what karma means anymore. It isnt an invisible force that gives people just desserts. That is the western misinterpretation.

Karma” is a Sanskrit word meaning literally “action”, “word” or “deed”. It’s not a system of reward and punishment and it’s doesn’t doom us based on past mistakes.

You sound like you have the marriage from hell though.

witsender · 24/10/2016 11:08

This is getting ridiculous. If she was sorting the washing and aware enough to notice the dog whining, why not open the door? Or is opening the door man's work?

Astro55 · 24/10/2016 11:12

OP - you are giving woman a bad name! How dare you leave poor ill DH to fend for himself .... There just no excuse!

Oh dear, your poor, poor dying DH-what a bad wife you sound OP.
Oh & yes, points deducted for mentioning a dog Halloween Grin

DoinItFine · 24/10/2016 11:19

If she was sorting the washing and aware enough to notice the dog whining, why not open the door?

That's true.

She should definitely have interrupted what she was doing to make sure her husband could complete his very important task of ranting at a child unimpeded.

HoneyDragon · 24/10/2016 11:21

I think the op does know what karma means hence she used quotation marks

NuggetofPurestGreen · 24/10/2016 11:22

I don't think there was no loo roll at all in the house - I thought it was that there was none in the bathroom so husband would have just had to get it from wherever its stored?

StrangeLookingParasite · 24/10/2016 11:23

So where were you in all this? Why didn't you let the dog out? Why didn't you get loo roll? Why don't you clean ypour dogs mess whilst he goes for loo roll?

FFS.

Jackie0 · 24/10/2016 11:26

Well that's not a very nice story.
wtf has karma got to do with that?
poor dog

LadyConstanceDeCoverlet · 24/10/2016 11:31

But still the OP could have opened the back door for the dog. Right?

Depends on whether she was there at the time, doesn't it? OP says it "turned out" the dog had been fussing which suggests she wasn't.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 24/10/2016 11:31

Why don't you have a spare family pack of loo roll in the loft - handily placed for you to throw one down in such an emergency? Wink

It sounds like a typical Monday morning to me!
