I'm unwell with sickness and diarrhoea, not nice but I am. Had it third day now so have had to just get on with things as best I can but my stomach is in bits.

Mil asked if she and fil could visit, I said I'd have to see as I was unwell, but then it turns out they were just passing, so dh arranged with them to pop in for a quick visit.

Anyway, of course just as they pull up outside I start needing the toilet, air freshener and bog roll have run out because dh fucking hoards it in the garage high up where I can't even reach.

I say to dh I knew this would happen I'll have to run to the toilet, dh start shouting at the top of his voice windows wide open "if you need a shit just go for a shit my mum and dad don't care".

I think he's an insensitive arsehole.

YANBU! Who would even want to visit a house when a person is ill like that anyway?

Have you taken anti diarrhoea medication?

Shumpalumpa · 07/07/2018 12:07

YANBU. Does he often shout at you? It's humiliating to be shouted at in earshot of others. He could be doing it because he knows it bothers you.

Is he deliberately putting such things out of your reach?

Tell him he needs to keep a steady supply in the kitchen or bathroom.

Angry? I’d be starting to build my war chest and get my ducks in a row ready to leave him or boot him out.

The toilet roll out of my reach would be the last straw.

Topseyt · 07/07/2018 12:13

I'd be furious and wouldn't hesitate to let him know it.

Why the fuck does he keep the bog roll out of reach in the garage? Is it gold plated or something? It should be accessible to all, so that it can be used and replaced as needed.

He sounds like an arse, and I would tell him so.

Cornettoninja · 07/07/2018 12:21

YANBU at all. Your dh appears to have some boundary issues Hmm

I hope you feel better soon. Don’t take anything to stop the diarrhoea unless absolutely necessary or medically advised, you’re body is trying to get rid of something, keeping it in will not help. Stay hydrated as best you can and rest up Flowers

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 07/07/2018 12:24

I'd be absolutely fucking furious if DH invited people round while I was poorly with D&V. Why would they even want to come anyway?? Most people would rather keep their distance from anyone with a bug. As for him "hoarding" toilet roll and keeping it out of your reach, that's just bizarre!

Maelstrop · 07/07/2018 12:24

I’d be fuming, there’s no need for him to be such a twat.

teaandtoast · 07/07/2018 12:26

I keep a 'last resort' toilet roll in my wardrobe so if we've run out unexpectedly, we've got enough to last us overnight/first thing.
Could something like this be an option for you?

diddl · 07/07/2018 12:31

Why not just say no to the ILs as they asked you?

I don't understand about the toilet paper in the garage.

""if you need a shit just go for a shit my mum and dad don't care"."

I agree with the sentiment but not the delivery!

KurriKurri · 07/07/2018 12:33

He sounds delightful.
Hopefully he will get your bug and then you can hide all the toilet paper and go out for the day.

My XH used to stand outside the loo when you when it was occupied and harangue people about how much paper they were hypothetically using. Now he's an X and toilet paper is freely available in my house not rationed to two sheets for a poo one sheet for a wee.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 07/07/2018 12:46

I'm concerned about the shouting about this stuff, so that other people can hear, and causing embarassment. XDH was very good at this. Note the X, and it was part of a pattern of abusive behaviours.

Juells · 07/07/2018 12:49

Why would PiL want to visit a house with D&V bug, anyway? Did he even warn them? He's being an arse all round, to you and them.

WooYa · 07/07/2018 12:53

I'd be fuming! My DH would probably do something like this thinking he's funny when he's not Angry

Spat my coffee out at that!

BewareOfDragons · 07/07/2018 12:57

Wow.

That would have happened exactly ONCE if someone did that to me. Out the door if it ever happened again.

Wow. Just wow.

Bibesia · 07/07/2018 13:01

Start your own toilet paper stash, but don't tell DH or he'll move it to his.

TornFromTheInside · 07/07/2018 13:03

Since he's 'in control' of the toilet facilities - hand him the marigolds and toilet duck too.

ToadOfSadness · 07/07/2018 13:05

You need one of these to get the toilet rolls down (and hide them).

Why on earth would his parents want to visit someone who has a gastro bug?? Do they know it's a sickness and diarrhoea bug that they might end up catching?! I wouldn't be going anywhere near!

Also hoarding toilet paper? All aboard the nope train to Fuckthatville. Who does that?
