To ring him at work

[moolady1977]

So I have the dreaded lurgy and my dp has gone to work and put all the meds back on top of the cupboard aibu to ring him at work and ask him to come home and get them down or do I wait till his break at 12 when he said he is nipping home anyway either way im late taking them and can feel my temperature shooting up

Can you not stand on a chair?

Can you not get a chair?

How long would it take for him to get to you?

That would be a bit unreasonable.

I'm 5ft and my dh oftern forgets he's a lot taller and puts things on top shelves and I just climb on the sideboard or stand a chair.

I guess there is a physical reason you can't get them? If so and you should take them, then call him.

I don't think you can call him to come back from work if he's coming back in an hour and a half anyway. Just curse him and stand on a chair.

Why cant you get them?

Oh ffs. Of course that would be unreasonable.

Unless there is a massive drip feed to follow regarding your mobility......

If I was struggling with a flu type bug I wouldn’t be standing on a chair. I’d be dizzy as hell and wouldn’t take the risk.

The op could be disabled. I'm assuming this is the case as otherwise she would not have posted.

Would he even be allowed to leave work for that? There's no way I'd be getting out of work to get something down from a high shelf.

Stand on a chair! I don’t understand why you think you shouldn’t

Is there a reason you can’t reach the top of the cupboard? Do you have a disability that means you are unable to reach?

Assuming from your post you just have some kind of virus, then stand on a chair

Either way though, he will be home in 1 hour you can wait until then

Stand on a chair,o r knock them down with the mop. Don’t be pathetic!

Its a cold / the flu - you will be fine with no medication at all to be honest (you can wait)

Neighbors?

R u joking unless your in a wheelchair this is ridiculous.

Oh, please! If you're incapable of stretching up, or standing on something, or knocking them down with something, then have a glass of cold water to cool you until 12pm.

Goodness sake,,,stand on a chair and get them yourself and stop being so precious

You would be being unreasonable. Get on a chair or get a dampened cloth. This all sounds rather precious behaviour unless you are going to massively drip feed that you have no arms or legs.

Just get something to reach up and knock them down!

He'll be home in an hour and a half. I'd wait. the only meds that will help a high temperature are paracetamol so you'll be ok to miss a dose.

Just rest (or get a long broom handle, stretch a pair of old tights and fix to the end to form a net and scoop the tablets from the top of the cupboard).

Get on a chair, knock them down with a long handled implement, go to sleep instead - so many options.

Unless as pp says, there is a massive drip feed about to drop...

Get a chair? That would be very unreasonable to get him to come to get tablets down for you unless you are physically disabled?

Wait for him?!
