Husband tried to 'soak' the toastie maker in the sink

[Fakenametodayhey]

Is it broken?
Is there any hope?
I just had a massive go at him to being stupid enough to put an electrical appliance in the sink- it has a plug!

He is upset that i had a go at him but now I either have to get a new one or go without.

Aibu for having a go? He was trying to help....

The whole thing?

Oh dear. I’ve the electrics have been immersed I’d say it’s dead.

I’d also send him out to buy a new one.

Yes, I wouldn’t try plugging that in again. But it’s an honest (if slightly ridiculous) mistake. Don’t be too hard on him.

Wtf!!! Get on Amazon now

What. A. Dunce.

What a bloody pillock.

Make him replace with one that has removable trays...

'I was only trying to help' isnt a universal get out of jail free card. I would expect a grown arse man to have enough intelligence to know that electrical appliances dont go in the sink.

Fucking hell 😂😂😂

but now I either have to get a new one or go without

A new husband, right? ;)

I have one with removable plates. Much easier to keep clean.

What a div.

Sorry I clicked yabu by accident- your def yanbu! My dh has done this before with George Forman

He wasn't trying to help.

He was doing a task badly so he wouldn't have to do it again.

It's basic common sense that you don't put anything electrical in to water.
And he is the one who gets to purchase you a new one. My DH broke the cat's bowl this morning- he immediately said that he'd go and buy her a new one when he dropped me at work this morning. No defensiveness, just a moment of carelessness which he rectified without sulking.

What a wally. My Dad has always done things like that, he’s an incredibly intelligent man but every now and then he has a blip

I think we're all capable of doing stupid things when we're on a roll.........I once stuck my finger in a plugged in kettle to see if the water had boiled.

Not my finest moment, and I got a nasty shock to prove it. 🙄 But at the time I was on autopilot defrosting the fridge and wiping the walls / floor down at the same time so just didn't think.

Boot his sorry arse out!

Everyone knows electrics and water dont mix. He was being a dunce. Buy a new one now out of his bank account

Bloody hell, the threads barely been posted and we already have one tin pot feminist claiming he did it on purpose to get out of doing it again.

Piss off, it was a toaster. Hardly a massive task........like cleaning the oven. Everyone's capable of making stupid mistakes and feeling a bit wounded when they're pointing them out. It's a bit of a stretch to claim it's done on purpose.

Honestly 🙄

God people are harsh.

Like we haven’t all had a momentary lapse in judgement.

Yep it's knackered.
My dh put the chocolate fountain in "to soak" once. He though it would be ok because the plug didn't go in the water.

It reminds me of the time my cousin put my electric kettle on the hob!

'Trying to help' - in what way? Genuine question.

He can't possibly be that stupid, surely?

For what it's.worth if it's.only the toastie pet it's probably saveable.

Take off the lid part and turn it upside in some rice or something........just means you won't be able to have toasties for a month or so.

My.brothers saved a few laptops that have had sticky drinks spilt on them by sticking them in the shower.......he hasn't been blown up yet. But again, leaves it well alone for a month at least

Get him to try it out
