a pair of boxers has appeared on my bathroom floor

[ratfly]

So, following on from my thread: aibu to expect dh to NOT leave his pants on the floor

The challenge has begun!

Any bets? How long will it take for HIM to put them IN THE WASH? Not elsewhere in the house, but actually in the washing basket or, god forbid, in the machine?

or in his work bag

never, you'll cave before he does

I WILL NOT cave!
We are having visitors tomorrow too - I might even turn them inside out for full effect

Wasn't the whole entire thrust of your last thread on exactly the same subject, NO? (yanbu?)

But AYBU for starting a second thread on exactly the same subject as your last thread?

Well, the subject is the same, but I mentioned a competition for whose dh whould leave pants for the longest.

It thought mine could lead by example.

ratfly - my dh could easily compete with yours! He once left a pair of gloves on our newly-recarpeted landing. They stayed there for 3 weeks and were only moved when he realised I was emailing photos of them to my friends with a note in a similar vein to your thread!

We have recently had a new loo seat delivered; he talked about fixing it. However, it arrived 4 weeks ago and is still in the hallway. I usually end up moving stuff like this, but for once (like the gloves instance), am prepared to see how long it takes....

My bet for your dh's pants is - 2 weeks min.

i say they will multiply

Of course Lio! Never thought of that one!!

Get your DC to collect insects from the garden and deposit them in the pants, before the visitors come

Don't budge, leave them!! I reckon you will end up with a pile of pants, and your DH will be complaining he hasn't got any clean ones!

Sprinkle them with cress seeds, water them daily and see how long it takes him to notice that his boxers have something growing in them

ROFL Betty. I may try that sometime~!

oh betty that's brilliant I'm going to use that one next time!

actually he complained about that this morning.
That's because he still hadn't unpacked from our holiday (2 weeks ago), where his clean pants were..

LOL Betty thats a great idea

set them free let 'em run wild with the feral cats

they are still there...

Don't give in stay strong....

Did you buy the cress seeds? Go on........ you know its got to be done

Put chocolate spread in them so that visitors tmw will think he's got skiddies....bet he won't do it again!

LOL chocolate sauce mistaken for skitters

Ladies....could I make a suggestion...PICK YOUR BATTLES!!! No point in fighting losing ones. Your dh's will never pick up their underwear and even worse, they will never notice that you have left their unpicked up underwear all over the house or on their pillow or in their cereal. They are men (sorry to the male mumsnetters). Just pick up their underwear for them, save yourself the agro and spend the energy something else. Enjoy what they are good at and if they aren't good at anything then divorce them.

True, but we are having fun here lol.

Maybe the OP could print this out for a while and show it to her DH

My dp always picks up his pants [smug]
