to expect b/f to help me move the old washing machine...

[SuGaRCoAteDPoiSOn]

ready for the new one to arrive tomorrow?

I've shifted it as far as I can and unplumbed it but I can't get enough oomph to drag it up the hallway to the garage by myself and he's just sitting on the pc doing fukk all

and now he's buggered off to bed after announcing that I have to wait in for a parcel for him

I'm fucking fuming now.. got a washing machine in the middle of the kitchen and he expects me to wait around for his convenience? and no doubt he'll want his clothes washed in the new machine that he's made no contribution towards or helped me to clear space for..

can you tell I'm a bit pissed off?

Strangely, I can tell you're pissed off. I would be too.

When his parcel arrives tomorrow I think you should smear it with ham and let the local dogs have a go at it, then reverse your car over it and finally set it alight. Tell him it was an accident

What is also unreasonable is that there are only 2 threads to post on. Grrrr!

I read this as wanting breastfeeding to move the washer - v.confused

but no, YANBU

lazy ghet

and he said he would do it before leaving for work this morning but nooooooo.......

I am flippin furious!!!!!!!!!

Did you ASK him to help you or just expect him to know what you are thinking?

I did ask him.. he said he'd help after dinner..

at around 9pm I went to the kitchen and started moving it myself.. he came down, said let me do that.. had a look and buggered off back to the pc..

later on he said he'd do it before bed... he didn't.. he sensed my frostiness when i went to bed, said he'd do it in teh morning before he leaves for work.. this morning he again said he'd do it before he leaves.. did he fukk do it!!!!

I've just had to climb over an obstacle course to make coffee and I've tried to shift the feckin thing and I'm just not strong enough!! This really feels like the last straw in a long list of lazybastid/selfish gitness

So now I keep looking out of the window for our maintenance/handyman to see if he'll help if I can catch him, but that's embarassing cos he'll be thinking why didn't she get her OH to help.

fukkity fukkity fukk fukk fukk

What an asshat

twunt..

I hate lasy men (or women come to that)...

Tell your handy man your husband just couldn't lift it. He will then feel compelled to prove himself manlier than your husband, and will do it for you.

And I really really hate lazy people!

yup........ he's always like this.. talks up how helpful he is/will be and then sits on his arse and does fukk all, or if he does do anything, he does such a shite job that I have to go and redo it anyway

then has the nerve to say I'm lazy!

lol, our handyman is fab... he's done loads of extra jobs for me and never ever comments.. he's coming next week to assemble my new wardrobes when they are finally delivered and he spent a whole saturday afternoon trying to repair my old washing machine.

P'raps I should move him in and move the lazyarse out

Where is he now?
God,he sounds awfu;l.Why are you bothering with him?

Agree with moondog.

Oh yes, lazyarse out! Fab handyman in! Probably the best move any woman could made

he's gone to work.. so he's sat at his desk with a great big starbucks coffee playing online games til everyone else arrives around 9

I don't know why I bother anymore.. I think this is a relationship that's run its course.

Had to admit I would seriouly consider binning such a man....

If he is like this now - just imagine how lazy he would be in years to come....

It's not just the lazyness that annoys me, but the selfishness, he must have realised that it would be very inconvient to have the washing machine in the middle of the room etc..

I'm with you all laydees.. this is the final straw.

There's a long list of other stuff which I posted about elsewhere but I've had enough now and he can pack his bags and fuck off.

Handyman is going to pop in later to help, hopefully before the one arrives.. and he said he'd plumb that in for me too if it's here when he has his lunchbreak

I think the handyman fancies you.. he is being very very helpful....

lmfao.. noooooooooooooo he doesn't!
he's got a wife n everything, just she lives in Cambridge while he lives in London so he doesn't see an awful lot of her.

Anyway.. I now have two washing machines in my kitchen I would plumb the new one in but I can't get the flippin transit bolts undone, lmfao

I'm desperate to play with the new one because I've been without a WM for 4 months and been handwashing everything. I've got a dispute going on with Servis about the old one so I cant just dump it and I wanna plaaaaaaaaaaay!!

God I'm useless

I think swapsies with the handyman is called for

I am soo proud of myself

I managed to move the old one, plumb in the new one and it's working perfectly

handyman came round and was amazed - he gave me a tarpaulin and helped cover up the old one and he's gone off for his lunch now, lol

who needs a man?? NOT ME!!!

b/f called up and asked about it - said he'd move it when he comes home and set up the new one, so I told him i've already done it cos I'm sick of waitng for him to help with anything and he got shirty n hung up on me

muhahahahhahahahahha sometimes life is gooooooood

God I'd dump him.

I know that sounds a bit mumsnet kneejerk "get rid of him immediately darling" whenever he's burnt the toast, but really, that level of laziness would make me want to murder him. Who needs a man? Well, not one like that you obviously don't, so why keep him around? Is he particularly decorative or useful for something else which another man wouldn't be?

God

I agree with Jomist.

And well done Sugar. Top plumbing there.
