Husband must be too handsome for words

Perhaps that's an exaggeration, but even so.

DH did a visit today (out of office), and didn't update his boss that he had finished.

His boss just texted to ask if he was okay and got home safe.

DH said he did and went to go into detail about how things went (work related), and boss wasn't interested. Just wanted to make sure he got home okay and to have a lovely evening Shock

Is this standard practise?

I must be thick too as I am very confused by all of this.

DropItLikeASquat · 03/04/2018 21:36

well it seems at least 4/5 of us have no idea what is happening, so I'm glad its not just me. I was beginning to think I was a bit special or something.

OnionKnight · 03/04/2018 21:39

If this is real I'm cringing.

AfterMyFella · 03/04/2018 21:39

Ahh, my post was supposedly light hearted but I can see why it's been taken the wrong way and actually appears very odd indeed Blush

This is what a screaming, teething baby does to my sanity Grin

Gutted I missed the photo!

Chinnychinnychinnychib · 03/04/2018 21:50

Never mind, OP. Babies steal your sanity!

Tinkobell · 03/04/2018 22:05

Awww. I think that's really sweet. Why you jealous, you're the one that gets to maul him once he's home?! If she starts asking what he's wearing, then you need to really worry!!!

TatianaLarina · 03/04/2018 22:30

You’re not missing much. He looked a bit like a pug.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 03/04/2018 22:33

I think it's odd his boss told him "to have a lovely evening"

Crustyoddsocks · 03/04/2018 22:41

Oh I thought it was just health and safety wait till I tell all my colleagues the boss has the hots for themShock...especially dave who nobody ever knows where he is Hmm

Everywhere I've worked we've always had to call the manager if you go straight home from anywhere other than the office. If you don't, the manager calls you. If you don't pick up, they have to start checking when and where someone last saw you and report you missing.

"Have a lovely evening" is polite code for "this is the end of the conversation, fuck off".

NeedsAsockamnesty · 03/04/2018 22:56

I have a contact system that I use to contact all staff members who lone work and haven’t checked in as safe return when work should be finished.

But its all because they are super attractive

AnnieAnoniMouser · 03/04/2018 22:57

Oh. I’m annoyed I missed the photo. I could use a little eye candy!

NeedsAsockamnesty · 03/04/2018 22:57

With mine have a lovely evening when not responded to with ‘thank you I hope you enjoy yours’ is code for please call the police now I’m being held hostage by a perp who has followed me home

Bluntness100 · 03/04/2018 23:01

I'm not even sure what this is about, are you suggesting the fact the manager checked he got home ok means your husband is gorgeous and his boss wishes to have sex with him? Seriously?

And please don't say "my candy" it's even worse than "my flower" 🤮

Bluntness100 · 03/04/2018 23:04

Have a lovely evening" is polite code for "this is the end of the conversation, fuck off"

Yup, followed by much cursing the twat didn't check in to say he was finished and the manager had to disrupt his evening to chase. The fuck off is mentally shouted.

AfterMyFella · 03/04/2018 23:27

According to DH, the have a lovely evening wasn't at all code for 'fuck sake you didn't check in safely' because according to DH, he's never once been asked to check in safely when going home from a site visit, and he's been in property for over 15 years

InsomniacAnonymous · 03/04/2018 23:48

VanillaSugar I don't understand that either. Confused

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 23:52

Op you must never post anything without a massive great lit up LIGHTHEARTED somewhere in the subject line or people will lose their shit.

Meanwhile I@m super intrigued by the potty photo and gutted I missed it .
