Does your DH ask 'stupid' questions?

[Brightburn]

Urghhh! Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets fed up of their DH asking 'stupid' questions they already know the answer to but are to lazy to think for themselves so ask you to think for them.

Today's example... DH gets dirty chopping board out of dishwasher, what have you used this for this morning? ... Cutting sausages, as you watched me do it and asked me to cut yours too.

Very petty, very unreasonable but it just winds me up

@amphetaminegazelle leave him now. He is an abusive asshole. How dare he speak to you like that. Your mother cried and that was no over reaction.

He prevents you from having a hobby by refusing to come home on time? Wtf!

When he gwts home before bedtime hand him the child and go out. Even if it is to read a book in a coffee shop.

‘So, what do we have in the fridge for dinner?’
‘I don’t know, I don’t have X-ray eyes’
Just one example of the stupid questions I get asked daily.

spanishwife what a bizarre response.

I am seriously considering this to be our last easter together.

It really should be AmphetamineGazelle

Yes. It’s essentially a way of him saying “Here take this job off me and do it for me” The one where I snapped was “what do you want doing with all this clean washing out of the washing machine?” I responded with “The same thing as we’ve done with the other 6 loads I’ve done this week” but obviously that makes me a dick and him a wounded puppy!

I echo the rest amphetamine. Please leave, you don’t have to put up with that shit.

Oh yes, every, single day. Is the baby wearing a pampers tonight? Yes. The baby goes to bed in a pampers every night. Sigh.

Mine always asks me ‘what’s the plan?’ as though it’s solely my remit to decide what jobs need done, what activities we should do, etc. Drives me mad! He makes complex decisions every day at work but can’t for the life of him come up with a suggestion for what we should do on any given day!

Lost count of the amount of times dh has asked where the ice cream is.

Are the shoes in the shoe cupboard? Cooking are you?

I found Alexa invaluable for low grade dumb questions.

He says ‘what time is it?‘

(Despite having a watch, a phone and there being several visible clocks)

I respond with ‘Alexa what time is it?‘

Similarly with any weather or heating related questions. I ignore ones about the kitchen equipment.

Yes! Stands in kitchen next to the fridge and calls out to me (sitting in the lounge) "do we have any cheese?"
Argh

My DH would only ask me where his stuff was. He stopped when the only answer he got was "where you left it."
It's my dad that asked all the annoying silly questions, but then my mum has always treated him like he is incapable at anything domestic so he feels he always needs to ask.
I've never treated DH like a domestic imbecile and he knows he can't get away with acting like one.

Yes, I started to just answer 'I don't know'. It's reduced it though not completely resolved it.

My DP loves asking me things that I couldn’t possibly know - like where the toilets are in a restaurant that we’ve both just walked into for the first time. He gets very annoyed when I point this out.

Also ALWAYS asks me the time when he’s holding his phone or sitting next to the clock

Wanders into a room - looks at tv, followed by the inevitable "what's this that's on?". Drives me nuts. Loads more that are all "I can't be arsed to think about this - do it for me"

-asks if we have ingredients x if he’s cooking dinner. I tell him l don’t know and part of cooking dinner is seeing if we have the ingredients
-doesn’t listen when l talk to him. Guesses what l have said and then gives the wrong answer and / or becomes irritable with me. He did it 3 times last night.
-when we go somewhere new he asks me where the toilets are, what is the food like etc. How should l know?!

@AmphetamineGazelle Yeah you need to get rid

You simply answer with something ridiculous.

Ice cream? In the wheelbarrow.
Cheese grater?? It evaporated.
Time? It's British summer time, of course! Daytime. A quarter past Wednesday etc.

"Do I have any clean pants"
"I don't know. Do you? "

All the time! He also asked questions I have no way of answering? "What time is ... getting here?" Well how do I know, you planned it and he's your friend?

“Is it going to rain?” is one of my favourites. I don’t work for the Met Office or have a crystal ball, and you are just as capable of looking out of the window at the clouds as I am. Drives me crazy.

I’ve pulled him up on lots of other annoying questions, so they generally now start with ‘I know you’re not the all-seeing eye, but...’ which makes it a bit more tolerable because at least he appreciates what he’s asking.

Walk into any supermarket. ‘What do we need?’ Yep, because I’ve memorised a shopping list, obviously.

I used to get this, especially about dc. “What should they eat/wear?” etc. I try to be as unhelpful as possible but without showing it. (It’s the same thing I do to teenage dds now). I go with “whatever you think will be fine”, “have you seen my......”, I just say ‘sorry, no” and if anyone ever asks me to help look for something I start with “of course I’ll help, where have you looked so far” which forces people who haven’t even tried to admit it. I definitely get asked fewer dozy questions these days.

Lost count of the amount of times dh has asked where the ice cream is.

This made me snort

All the time. Especially if he’s looking for something which isn’t hovering into his eye line. Then he pulls everything out saying “is this it?”

I’ve started saying “that’s an interesting question, what do you think the answer is?” Some of his questions are utterly unknowable.

I do love DH, but like many other husbands, he drives me a bit batty at times.

Not so much stupid questions, but pointless ones.

Every single day he asks..... and sometimes he rings me at work to ask....... 'WHAT'S FOR TEA?' I say 'what do YOU want?' 'I dunno, what do YOU want?' he says. I swear I am going to just start saying 'whatever I feel like doing!'

AND...

I get fed up of hearing 'where's the scissors? Where's the cheese grater? Where's the shed key? (And similar... like other posters husbands ...'do we have any cheese left? And 'are there any hot cross buns left?) FFS JUST LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He doesn't ever LOOK. He just asks me, like I should know (and if I DON'T - I should look for him!)

So I do feel your pain OP!
