To buy trousers for wok on my day off?

Dp thinks I am. Yesterday at work my work trousers got a rip in them. My other pair is a bigger size with no belt loops and will probably fall down whilst I'm working. Today is my day off I popped to shop picked up 2 pairs of trousers and put a cheque in the bank. Do rang me and said "oh your on the street" I simply said "I'm omw back 1 stop on bus from home, I was quick" he then moaned that over weekend I said I'd go put cheque in bank on Tues and he thought it wasn't necessary because I didn't need the money (money is from elderly relative for DC for a gift so has something to open on birthday rather than a piece of paper) and originally he said he would drop me to bank sat morning to pay cheque in but he overslept

I've read this three times and am none the wiser.

Manuel is it you?

OP, please please please come back and entertain us some more!

(I'm in agony today and need distracting with utter madness Grin).

JasonColbyStankers · 13/08/2019 14:06

I don’t want to sound sexist or nuffink, but a wok is going to look way better in a skirt.

JinglingHellsBells · 13/08/2019 14:08

OP can't reply as she is still shopping for trousers for her wok on the street. very hard to track these down you know.

OP in all seriousness, are you saying your DP asks you to account to him for how you spend your day off and he thinks you ought not to idle away your time banking cheques and buying trews for your wok?

Please come and tell us.

If course YANBU - when else does he expect you to go and buy work trousers?

You can't go during work time - that's why we have days off to do our personal errands.

I have honestly not got a scooby what’s going on here

The world's gone mad, is what.

MoreFrog · 13/08/2019 14:22

Why don't we all drop what we're doing and go to the pub. It's put me in that sort of mood.

who's Sharon?

humblesims · 13/08/2019 14:34

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that the OP is in an abusive relationship and that her DP controls her movements and that she has reached out to MN for help and advice? Maybe? Maybe not. I guess we will never know since you've all ripped the shit out of her. Well done.

ShirleyPhallus · 13/08/2019 14:36

Chill out @humblesims

MN is one of the most supportive places ever for women in domestic violence situations but you’re absolutely jumping to conclusions that that is the case. Given that the OP is pretty much incomprehensible then there’s not much for posters to help out on.

SunshineCake · 13/08/2019 14:36

Are you not allowed out? Why else would you tell him you were quick ?

This thread is not about trousers.

Sad.

AloneLonelyLoner · 13/08/2019 14:41

Get all your ducks in a row OP. Quick!

1forAll74 · 13/08/2019 14:44

Oh that's interesting ! made my day !

prettybird · 13/08/2019 14:48

He sounds very controlling if you feel the need to apologise for going out the house on your day off Shock, buying things you need in your own time Shock, and, to top it all off, paying a cheque into your own bank account ShockConfused

If this is really what you meant, then either tell him to mind his own fucking business and get a life, or LTB Hmm

ambereeree · 13/08/2019 14:49

So you have to tell your DP everything you do? He sounds a bit of a pain if he moaned about you going to the bank alone after failing to drop you there himself.

JasonColbyStankers · 13/08/2019 14:51

Get your duck in plum sauce.

stucknoue · 13/08/2019 14:57

Like most people I buy my work clothes on my day off, when else are you meant to go shopping?

Pursefirst · 13/08/2019 15:18

Well, this has been bonkers.

SilverySurfer · 13/08/2019 15:22

I may be wrong, OP, but are you saying that your DP thinks you should be given time out of your working hours to buy work trousers? If so, the answer is no, of course not, everyone buys clothes on their non working days. Tell him he is wrong.

I'm sorry I can't comment on the rest because it's unintelligible.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 13/08/2019 15:25

Does he moan every time you do something for you, that doesn't involve him?
He sounds like a peach.
Tell him to fuck off and mind his own business and he should have got out of fucking bed on Saturday and taken you to the bank himself if he was THAT fucking bothered about you doing it on YOUR day off.

ememem84 · 13/08/2019 15:55

Whaaa...?!

gingersausage · 13/08/2019 15:57

If you don’t understand the thread, then go and read one that you do understand and stop trying to be cool and funny (whilst actually being a mocking mean-girl bitch). Plenty of people have explained in naice MC language that you should be able to read 🙄.

It’s pretty obvious that either English is not the OP’s first language or she’s just not very good at articulating her thoughts into typing. Most of you are way too old to still be behaving like playground bullies with your superior sneering. There’s no wonder the OP hasn’t come back.

PooWillyBumBum · 13/08/2019 15:58

He sounds controlling. Red flags. LTB. Cancel the cheque. Take the wok with you.
