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.

Tell your OH to LTB.

There: Bingo.

....You know, while we're on the subject of joyless wankery which sucks humanity from the simplest of anecdotes.

Oh that is the perfect description.

Lweji you forgot twat. BINGO: DENIED

Cross posted and should have rtft D: I'll be in the corner thinking about what I've done.

Bogeyface · 24/10/2016 12:32

For a full house we need someone to suggest the OP cancels the cheque, thinking they are being oh so fucking witty Hmm

HemanOrSheRa · 24/10/2016 12:34

Well that's just great. I now have an earworm of Culture Club's Karma Chameleon. Shame on you OP.

jayisforjessica · 24/10/2016 12:35

You know, I'm still too new to know about cancelling the check. Can someone fill me in please??

Thornrose · 24/10/2016 12:37

Jay you're better off not knowing tbh.

Bogeyface · 24/10/2016 12:39

Jay there was a thread where the OP sent a cheque for a wedding gift and received a missive from the recipients saying that it wasnt enough and she needed to send more! The whole thread was full of people saying "Cancel the cheque" despite the OP saying many times that it had been cashed before she received the demand for more money. Now some wag will post it on any AIBU thread that goes on for longer than half a dozen posts thinking that it is hilarious. It isnt.

Thinking about it, I cant remember if she told them to get fucked or what!

JohnCheese · 24/10/2016 12:40

Definitely cancel the cheque.

LadyConstanceDeCoverlet · 24/10/2016 12:41

Navyandwhite, as I said before, you don't know that OP saw that the dog needed a wee. Her post says "Turns out DDog is fussing as she needs to go into the garden" - which suggests she only found out afterwards.

jayisforjessica · 24/10/2016 12:43

re: canceling the check
Good grief, some mothers really do 'ave 'em, don't they.

JohnCheese · 24/10/2016 12:43

Jay the thread is in classics. Its a read. Hilarious and fiercely annoying all at once.

OP Give your H the cheque to use as loo roll.

jayisforjessica · 24/10/2016 12:44

Now I just need to work out the Maui reference and I'm about set for MN in jokes...

FerretFred · 24/10/2016 12:46

Lack of respect is a phrase that so far is missing......

peppermac · 24/10/2016 12:51

Fucking hell! Miserable bastards some of you.

CheshireChat · 24/10/2016 12:58

Doesn't this depend on the layout of the house? If she was right near the door when the dog needed to be let out she's a dick. Otherwise, her DH could've asked the kid to wait a bit, let the dog outside and then gone to fetch some kitchen roll or something. Rather than moan at his kid for something that's his fault.

Bogeyface · 24/10/2016 13:01

The Maui wedding thread was a troll I believe, something to do with family being selfish bastards because she was getting married in Maui and none of them could afford to go even though she had given then ages to save up.

See, we need a diagram! If OP was in the loft when dog was whining, and dh was closer to the door he would have done it. If she was sorting laundry by a washing machine nearer the back door than the bathroom, she should have done it. Grin

jayisforjessica · 24/10/2016 13:08

DDog started fussing at him, she got told to bog off.

Or she heard it, the same way she heard DH ranting at their DC, but was too far away/hands too full to do anything about it.

The other details don't matter. She was doing something constructive. He was not. Why should she drop what she's doing to let the dog out while he does nothing at all?

Bogeyface · 24/10/2016 13:09

Unless she lives in a mansion it s perfectly possible to be able to hear something without being in the same room, especially if the person concerned is in a baggy arsed mood and raised his voice. If he was in the bathroom and she was in the loft then its even more likely if our loft is anything to go by.

I suspect that she heard him telling the dog to bog off, heard the bollocking he was giving to DS and then the explosion as "D"H found the pissy floor, at which point she sniggered.

Thornrose · 24/10/2016 13:14

FGS rtft she didn't snigger, she did a wry smile. That makes ALL the difference in this very serious scenario posted for our forensic unpicking pleasure. Grin
