AIBU to be super annoyed at DH?

24 replies

ShizzleG · 30/12/2018 12:32

On a day out in London to show my brother the sights etc. DH was to plan the route and things to see. Things went off to a nice start and we were to get dinner and then head off to the theatre. DH insisted we took the tube to Covent Garden rather than Leicester Square, we got dis-oriented in Chinatown and needed to find our way back to Strand. Rather than DH getting his phone out to get us on the right path, he was checking football updates with my brother. I got my phone out and got us there. He got angry because I started walking off in a bid to get us to the theatre in time and is now demanding an apology to himself and my brother. AIBU to be super annoyed and not want to apologise! Angry

He wants to apologise to himself?

Stormy76 · 30/12/2018 12:52

Tell him to sod off, he was being an idiot

HolyMountain · 30/12/2018 12:53

This is odd.

There was no row, just you walking off to get directions and they followed?

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2018 12:55

They checked the results

You got a bit pissed off and started walking off

That pissed him off a bit

Why wasn't that the end of it? Seems like a silly thing to be 'super annoyed' about.

Sounds like he organised something to please you and him and your brother would have been happier in the pub watching the football rather than going to the show?
Maybe they were trying to miss it on purpose, my DH would do almost anything to avoid the theatre

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/12/2018 12:57

The things that folk get super annoyed at on MN is odd.

Chloe84 · 30/12/2018 12:59

Yes, GreatDuck, definitely odd why the DH is angry at OP when all she did was use her phone maps to get them to the theatre.

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2018 13:00

Lichtie it only takes a few mins to check the footie results. It doesn't mean they didn't want to go to the theatre.

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2018 13:03

when all she did was use her phone maps to get them to the theatre.

You might've missed the bit where she started walking off

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/12/2018 13:03

Chloe the H was annoyed because the OP walked off not because she got her phone out.

Cherries101 · 30/12/2018 13:07

Not sure why your brother needed the two of you to show him around in London. He’s an adult and could have managed sightseeing just fine.

NotTheFordType · 30/12/2018 13:12

@Cherries101

"Hey sis, you know when I visit you at Xmas, can you show me some of the sights in London?"
"No fuck off, you're an adult. Go on your own."

FrenchSchnoodle · 30/12/2018 13:14

What a strange response Cherries. I'm assuming that you know the brother then?

Where does it say that the OP brother is an adult? Where has it been confirmed that he's confident enough to get round London or indeed wanted to go alone? Also they were all, as a group going to the theatre!

God forbid that someone wants to show a family member the main attractions in London.

Chloe84 · 30/12/2018 13:17

GreatDuck, he saw OP walk off. What was she supposed to do, follow the 5 paces behind whilst they meandered along aimlessly and got late for the show?

darlingShelby · 30/12/2018 13:22

Men eh?Grin

TeddybearBaby · 30/12/2018 13:22

Sounds like a great big fuss about nothing! Chill out, enjoy yourselves. You’re supposed to be having fun.

WidoWanky · 30/12/2018 13:24

Oh good grief. Why don't people just TALK to each other?

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2018 13:24

Jesus Harry Christ! Grin Grin

I'm going out to dinner with my husband tomorrow. Perhaps I should leave him at home because I need him to help me eat Grin

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2018 13:25

*don't

CoughLaughFart · 30/12/2018 13:27

Tell the silly bleeder that you’ll apologise if he pays you for the theatre tickets, seeing as he was happy to risk missing it.

Belenus · 30/12/2018 13:36

I remember when you couldn't check your phone to find out where you were and just had to use common sense, or an A to Z. It all sounds like a very petty row over nothing. You all need to chill out, or spend your entire lives annoyed.

Only on Mumsnet.

OP - It feels like a bit of the story is missing. I'm guessing you were irritated at them for hanging around and so you walked off in a strop? That's the only reason I can see for you husband wanting an apology.

I actually did not walk off cos told them whilst they were discussing and made sure I checked they were still following me.

I assume they actually wanted to spend the day together!
