AIBU but this really is not 'helpful'?

[zazas]

My DH is 'upset' that I found his 'helpful behaviour' this morning anything but!

Middle of the school run rush, he decides to 'help me out' by putting my car/house keys in the front door lock - on his way out - 'ready for me'. He didn't mention he had done this.

This is unprecedented behaviour - I did not know why they weren't where they always are. I searched high and low - thinking I was losing my mind, worrying if I could get through the day without bank access for work (my bank fob is on the key ring) and becoming later and later for school drop off.

Then my DD 'discovered' them in the front door. Obviously!

When I asked my DH, "Just why?" He shrugged it off and replied he was being helpful when I was obviously in a rush .

Helpful would have been him unloading the dishwasher, feeding the cat, taking the washing out of the machine, making the school lunches...

He thinks I am being unreasonable not appreciating that he was 'just trying to help'!

Tell me others enjoy these sorts of 'helpful' partners!

Is he completely stupid? If someone took them and your car, I would have made him call up the police and insurance company to admit to his stupidity and consequences there of.

And then the police and insurance company could have had a good laugh when recalling their stupidist customers.

In what world is putting the keys in the outside of the door a sensible thing to do?

The only time it's any use is when I have lost my keys. Because that is invariably where they'll be!

That is about the stupidest place possible for keys to be put.

Luckily we live basically in the back end of beyond as in not much passing traffic (we don't lock the cars at home etc) although you are right that wasn't exactly part of his thought process (if it was safe or not) when he made his decision!
