He was clearly busy with work, and only called you in to double check some info, and then you decided that that was the perfect time to randomly (and badly) retell a comedy sequence, that even you admitted wasn't actually that funny, and wonder why he wasn't impressed and was, understandably pissed off?
If it was the other way around, I bet people would be saying that you don't have to humour your DH and laugh along for the sake of it.
^AIBU?
I was trying to work this evening, and called my DH into the study to ask him about the arrangements for some appointments we have in our diaries. I was really busy and trying to get on, so once I'd clarified the info, I turned back to the computer. My DH decided that was the perfect time to want my attention and try to retell a really bad, unfunny joke sequence. She said it would only take a minute, but I was tired and trying to get this work done so I could relax, especially when I looked at the clock and saw it was already getting late.
The joke itself was bad enough but my DH's delivery was just painful to sit through, and I really can't hide my expression when I'm unimpressed, but at the end I wanted to soften it a bit by explaining that the problem was that I just didn't find it funny, even when I heard it the first time. She then got a really annoyed expression, like I'd done something wrong by not finding it funny! So I just told her I wasn't really in the mood for jokes because I was busy and clearly this was not the time to try and tell them, and perhaps she could save them for later in future. Now she's upset with me for being straight with her, but I'm just trying to get the admin done so I can enjoy the evening, without interruptions. AIBU to want to work uninterrupted by crap jokes that could have waited? AIBU to find it annoying that my DH expected me to laugh at her joke and got upset that I didn't?^
