DP shouting during my conversation.

I had a car accident a couple of weeks ago. It hurt my back, but I recovered after a few days and decided not to claim on the insurance. I've had a few ambulance chaser phone calls since then. This morning, I was politely telling such a caller that I didn't want to claim, and my DP yelled "Fuck Off" from a few feet away. I was so cross with him. That was U, wasn't it?

Yes, I was dealing with the call, and DP didn't know for certain that it was an ambulance chaser. It could have been the solicitor from the insurance company calling to close my case. It was only when they couldn't tell me the agreed password that I realised it was one of those calls. DP could only hear my side of the conversation.

I agree it's rude to you op. You were dealing with it as you saw fit!

I had a very minor accident three years ago, no one else involved, car went into a ditch, no injury blah. Called a tow truck to recover the car and they sold/passed my details on. The ambulance chasers call at least once a week and it drives me nuts, I can't stand the never-ending intrusion and have to change my number to stop them. The callers are parasites and need to be told to fuck off as they never ever stop regardless of how often you ask

Whether you think ambulance chasers need to be told to fuck off is irrelevant. OP says her DP couldn;t even know fro sure who she was speaking to.
It is rude to butt into someone;s phone conversation, it was OP's decision how she dealt with a call - she;s an independent adult, she doesn;t need another person taking over when she is on the phone and yelling their view.
How would he feel if you yelled fuck off very loudly next time he is on the phone OP.

Amazed at all these folk who think it is OK to yell swear words when someone is on the phone. I keep out of the way when someone is having a phone conversation, to give them privacy - I assume if they need a profane intervention from me, they'll call out, so far no one has needed me to do this.

It's often quite easy to tell when your OH answers a nuisance call, hence my response. Sounds like he called it correctly, despite what you might feel about his response – although it does sound annoying of him to pipe up to be fair

I should have been more specific - he was being U to me, I think.
