His little shirt

427 replies

DH picked a shirt from my Next catalogue and I went to pick it up for him. He was at work. So I sent him a picture and said I'd picked up his little shirt (it was for a night out). His mate saw the message and laughed at him and later on sent him a photo of the shirt we was wearing for the night out and said "here is my little tattoo showing shirt".

DH says I've made him a laughing stock but the Dawn doctor often picks up clothes etc for her DH and he doesn't react like this.

I should have said small shirt

Or just 'i picked up your shirt'

Is Dr Dawn Sharon's sister??

They sound incredibly immature. If you want to get them back, send him a photo of you wearing no clothes but showing nothing so angle leg up or something in front of your boobs, covering your bits, sideways on photo - or even one with just face and not quite your boobs - and say you're looking forward to welcoming his big, thick cock home for the fuck if your life.

This is like a conversation in a nursing home.

What's a fly seat?

Sharon, is the wasp at the windowsill yet?

Placemarking for when Dawn is revealed.

NoCapes · 14/05/2017 15:33

So the doctor just looks like Dawn, so we return to the original question of who the Jeff is Dawn?!

MoonfaceAndSilky · 14/05/2017 15:33

If you work with a Doctor called Dawn, why do you call her 'the Dawn Doctor' and not 'Doctor Dawn'?Grin

Little' wasn't good, but it's hardly a significant problem.

And yet women complain (rightly imo) about being spoke to like a child....thry always have a point and the man is a dick.

twattymctwatterson · 14/05/2017 15:36

What a fucking word salad that was..

nicknameofawesome · 14/05/2017 15:36

I've read the entire thread. I still have no idea wtf is going on. My best guess is OP sent a text saying "I picked your little shirt up" and her DHs mate saw it and is now taking the piss.

OP Fyi "I picked Your little shirt up" sounds like Something you would say to a 5 year old. That's why his mate is taking the piss and that's why he's annoyed.

I have no idea who doctor dawn is, what relevance tattoos have, who is at a Hospital or what engineering has to Do With anything...

Jeff? Don't bring Jeff into it, we're still trying to find out who Dean and Dawn and the Doctor are Grin

rightwhine · 14/05/2017 15:38

She works with a lady who picks up her dhs shirts but we don't know if she is the doctor or if she is dawn.

NoCapes · 14/05/2017 15:39

Moonface Grin!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 14/05/2017 15:39

Tbh op, given the way you talk on here I'm imagining the text you sent your hubby was..umm...

Anyway, why did you send him a photo of the shirt when it was just a smaller size of one he previously bought? Isn't his mate ribbing him over you rather than himself?

I mentioned hospital and engineering in response to questions asking where DH and I work. The doctor's real name isn't Dawn, she just looks like Dawn and I don't know her name so I call her the Dawn Doctor. It's only the same as when people say "the Sadie nurse" etc - it's just come across confusing as it's on here rather than face to face. I mentioned tattoos because Dean did (in his text to DH) as they all like to compare what they're wearing.

Well nocapes, you wouldn't say it unless you knew a nurse that looked like Sadie, obviously. It was just an example. It could be the Melanie nurse or anything.

OP he's being a prat, tell him to get his own sodding shirts in future.
When I did read the thread title I did assume someone was going a bit gooey over sorting out their childrens clothes as they'd found a cute little shirt from when they were 2 or something, so yes, little was very much the wrong word to use when referring to a grown mans shirt. He's still a prat though and the ribbing isn't your fault, tell him to grow up and then maybe he can start wearing bigger shirts if he's that bothered about it Wink

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 14/05/2017 15:43

The sadie nurse....oh dear op, you are special Grin

You mentioned tattoos because Dean did as they all likr to compare what they're wearing?!

FaFoutis · 14/05/2017 15:43

It's confusing because we don't have access to your mind OP, and you assume we do. I quite like that though, you are making the reader do the work.
