AIBU - my wife tore up my cardboard box and I'm mad as hell

[StephenEmmet]

I saved a cardboard box from Lidl which was exactly the right size for the thing I wanted to do. I left it in the porch. It wasn't in anybody's way. I came back to the porch within an hour and my wife had torn it up and put it in the recycling bin. We had a big bustup over this and she won't admit her mistake. She offered me another box from her collection but it wasn't the same size so not as efficient for the thing I'm trying to do. AIBU?

If you didn't tell her what it needed keeping for or when you were planning to use it yabu.
However can't you just get it out the bin and tape it back together?

Ltb

You type very well for a dog.

Grow up

Eh? Why is a cardboard box thread getting deleted?! Of all the shit that's left to stand on here.....
Anyways.
DH! Is that you?!
If so, I'm sick of you hoarding all kinds of bollocks just in case and yes, I saw the box and assumed it was for the recycling.
Should have known better and that you'd already earmarked it with an excuse why it had to stay where it was in the middle of the floor
YABU, quit yer whining and get another box. Genuine mistake.
(Ahh, that was therapeutic lol)

Ltb- leave the box

It's the wrong time to be tearing up boxes. We need them all for keeping the Brexit stocks.

😂😂😂

Was it this box?

And when did cats get opposable thumbs to type stuff on the internet?

@MichaelMumsnet noooo! Don’t be a spoilsport!

Aaaaaaargh FFS please Gawd don't turn it into another Brexit thread

There can never be enough pictures of cats in boxes.

As soon as I read the title I couldn't help but vision an adult building a fort 🤣🤣🤣

I hate when the OP doesn't update.

OP
Go to Aldi, they also have reasonably priced boxes.

Hope that helps....

YANBU. I bloody love cardboard boxes, me.

OP is too busy with her dissected mouse collection
That box would have been perfect for the anatomy lab

Another thread that makes me question my gin consumption this evening.

@MNHQ:
Don't you dare delete threads posted by cats

Are you speciesist ?

I'm obviously not drinking enough gin.

If you want to keep a precious box, you have to sit beside it for a week showing no interest in it at any point and then dramatically hurl yourself into it as she approaches and defend your castle with your pointy claws.

Or just get a grip and deposit half a mouse in her slipper tonight. That'll teach her to mess with your precious box.

PP below summed up well just by writing

Had to read it out loud to understand, but it's totally appropriate.

Da fuq indeed.
