How has your DP/DH pissed you off today?

Butterfr33 · 02/12/2017 22:32

Spent most of the day cleaning. Just finished mopping the floors not long ago and DP proceeds to brush the crumbs of his cherry bakewell directly on the floor
Grrrrrrrr!

Wow.
Im shocked at how many of you out uo with such crap.
My partner is sick (long term) and im ill in bed but short term and all his done all day is come to check on me and do all the jobs around the home.

He wouldn’t let us put a Christmas tree in the bathroom

gamerchick · 02/12/2017 23:28

DH and my MIL have just done the washing up. It is all now stacked dangerously like Jenga so cannot dry properly and will probably all fall off and break when I try to put it away tomorrow

There would have been plenty of space on the draining board if stacked properly. Also the cutlery drainer currently looks like the Iron Throne (from Game of Thrones) as DH never empties it and always tries to shove more into it.

Sounds very familiar that! The leaning tower on the draining board!

Whinged when I asked him to put up one of the Christmas trees. We have 4, I did the other 3

4? My brain is boggling at the size of the house needed for 4

He did try to blame two empty crisp packets he found in the living room when cleaning it on the rest of us when it's always him who leaves them there (and usually me who tidies them up) so it was actually quite satisfying setting him straight.

But generally he's been great. Can't believe some of the shit the rest of you put up with! It sounds like most blokes mentioned on this thread treat the weekend as two days off from all responsibility - I wouldn't put up with it!

Well I'm just had an apology and a 'would you like a cup of tea?' and 'do you want tickles?'. Do I make him stew?

He had my car this morning as he had to take his hire car back early- I thought as I was being helpful, he would ensure that the car was back for an appointment I had with DD.
I called him, just to ensure he knew when it was, he does forget these things.... hey babe, I know you're busy, I won't keep you long but I want to make sure I can have the car before littlechocs appointment, it's at 1, I'll need the car by, 12:45.... very latest. I'm sure you remember bu..... as he cut me off.
I'll be back at about half one as he puts the phone down.
FWIW it's abnormal for him to be so rude, so I called him back, didn't get into it with him, but pointed out that I had graciously lent him my car, if he wanted it to happen again that he would need to be back with my car in a timely manner so I could attend the appointment I had made weeks ago.

I did well not to appear fuming because I was!

SilverySurfer · 02/12/2017 23:30

Wow, you all must be thrilled to have nabbed such amazing specimens of manhood

LondonLassInTheCountry

Totally agree.

LouHotel · 02/12/2017 23:34

I got up with the baby at 5.30am so he could lay in (he has a minor cold/man flu) after asking him past midday to have her for half hour whilst i showered and got ready he lasted 5 minutes before letting the baby loose in the bathroom.

Man flu is not a pass for a crappy behaviour and i damn well let him know it.

Braveanddifferent · 02/12/2017 23:35

He's been great today, did some cleaning, ironing and helped put up Christmas tree.
Yesterday however, he took 'til lunchtime to apologise for being a dick the day before. Not impressed to be honest. Think height be having an affair.

sailorcherries · 02/12/2017 23:37

He went out last night, which he doesn't do ever.
He's spent today feeling sorry for himself.

Fluffyunicorns · 02/12/2017 23:40

Nothing - divorced for 2 years now and I don't have to see him

MrsTerryPratchett · 02/12/2017 23:41

He outrageously expected to answer rhetorical questions I asked him. His excuse? I've been away working and he had no one to talk to.

I might be the U one.

gamerchick · 02/12/2017 23:42

Some of these posts are so spiky. So many arses

I’ve hardly seen mine because he works for a parcel carrier and is organising the delivery of other people’s christmases with overtime! I won’t see him properly until Wednesday.

Xihha · 02/12/2017 23:44

Knowing DD and I were going out at 2.15 he invited his mother round at 2 with a 'thats ok, you can still go out'. Does he have any idea how hard it is to get DD ready and out the door when MIL is chatting to her?

molemonkey · 02/12/2017 23:51

He used 3 yes 3 glasses!!!!
The first one lemonade!
The second one water!
The third one water!
He wanted to know my problem with this, if the kids had done this you'd have lost the plot.
I lost it for him, AT HIM?
I don't think he'll do it again 😂

Alittlebitofthat · 02/12/2017 23:53

Called into house at 3 saying he’d be back in an hour as had a quick job to do, landed home 3 hrs later! The job which should have been an hour did turn into a nightmare but a quick text would have stopped me worrying when he hadn’t returned! However he has made up for it by going to get Chinese and wine and has announced he’s doing dinner tomorrow so I can forgive him 😊

doubleshotespresso · 02/12/2017 23:55

Complained LOUDLY that the dishwasher beeped while he was watching the cricket. It is "just so irritating" to get up from the sofa to turn off a button.
YES-the beep is to let you know the dishwasher is finished and needs emptying-which would make having to get up all the more worthwhile , or so you would think. Particularly as said dishwasher is an open plan living area, in full view of his ridiculous big screen tv, where again you would think it would be quite a simple task to fulfil whilst watching cricket-it's hardly difficult to keep up with.

HELL NO- Let's just turn off the button, close the door and await the kitchen fairy like he does every single day.

TrinitySquirrel · 03/12/2017 00:02

I was out all day with DS (6 mths old) and my family. After being up 4 times last night and giving up on sleep at 3.30am. It was exhausting. I was exhausted.

What did he do the moment I walked in? Gave DS a peck on the cheek, made him giggle then took himself off with his phone to the bathroom for 20 fucking minutes.

I ended up knocking and asking what the eff and geoff he thought he was playing at - like he hadn't had all day to take a shit and watc youtube?!

He would've been in there for an hour if I hadn't.

Fuck that noise.

Judydreamsofhorses · 03/12/2017 00:19

Mine cooked dinner and didn’t complain when I only ate a tiny bit because I am so choked with cold and can’t taste anything. However he did leave me to do the dishwasher, which I hate, so loses points for that.

ferrier · 03/12/2017 00:22

Left the car.with no petrol.

ScreamingValenta · 03/12/2017 00:25

Have to add another - moaned about my spending too long on MN tonight .

Twoo · 03/12/2017 06:52

I'm disabled but do what I can. DH was out all day with his hobby. I stayed home to clean, tidy and put tree up. Due to disability it takes me 4 times as long and huge effort to do anything. After struggling to get tree up, the usual tree lights didn't work. I improvised and used the outdoor/indoor ones that usually go in the garden. DH came back. On showing him the tree, I explained about the regular lights not working. Before I had time to finish, he cut me off saying 'you better not have fucking used the outdoor lights'. I was exhausted and in considerable pain and burst into tears. He then called me, Tiny Tears. He can't see why we need to divorce. He goads me I have no where to go and I'm unable to work due to disability. He never apologies as he says it's me who takes it the wrong way.

WhoWants2Know · 03/12/2017 07:11

Shit, Twoo, that’s bad.

ethelfleda · 03/12/2017 07:42

Erm... He hasn't
