Aibu or is my dh being stupid. <slightly light hearted>

[biscuitraider]

Or being deliberately awkward.....I was just reminding dh that i was going away for one night in a fortnight. This is how i worded it. "Just reminding you i'm going away two weeks yesterday" Would you all understand what i meant by that? Dh was saying, "but what day"? I replied "two weeks yesterday".
Now since "yesterday" was a saturday i would have thought it was obvious.

Another pathetic argument then ensued to which he said, "why didn't you just say saturday" to which i relied "well if i did you wouldn't have known which saturday i meant" . He nsists he was right, i insist i was.

So what do you all think, and what stupid things have caused you to argue with partners.

I would have just said the 5th of May
I didn't have my diary or calendar near me, nor him. He still wouldn't have had a clue what day I meant. He already knew before when I was going but I knew he'd have forgotten, it was a spur of the moment comment.

Its not so much the spur of the moment comment, its the repeating it when he implied he didn't understand what that meant.

Yes i wouldn't normally repeat it but it was the way he jumped down my throat "WHAT DAY" in an angry impatient way.

I would have understood what you said unless I had forgotten what day it was therefore not knowing what day yesterday was. However, I wouldn't have angrily and impatiently demanded what day. I would have casually looked at my calendar on my phone . Someone replying to me with an air of impatience gets my back up too. So unnecessary. Two weeks from yesterday is very clear and not hard to look at a calender either.

It drives me up the wall when people use terms like this, if you can remember how many weeks on Tuesday/ Sunday then surely you can remember that date?!! Just say that then no ones confused!

Errrrr. I consider "two weeks yesterday" to be not only entirely clear, but the absolute clearest and most helpful way of describing the day that's 13 days from now. Giving the date is obviously unambiguous, but I'd have no idea what day of the week is being referred to, and I'd have to think about how far away we're talking about. Saying "in 13 days" is pretty good, but still takes me a mental cycle or two to figure out :-)

Mammasmitten glad you know what i mean. Loads of people use the term "two weeks tomorrow",so saying "two weeks yesterday" isn't much different. But it was the bad tempered "what day"? that put my back up and made me reply the way i did. If someone said "2 wks yesterday" to me i'd know exactly what they meant but if i didn't i'd ask for the day in a pleasant voice. It's his bad tempered impatient air that cause us to have quite a lot of these silly little rows. I never talk unpleasant to him unless he initiates it. Just puts my back up.
