To be pissed off at DP

[highlyunreasonable]

DP tried phoning me earlier but I was on another call. As soon as I got off the phone I called him straight back but it went to voicemail. No problem, I'm busy, he's busy I'll speak to him later
2 and a half hours later he calls me back... into the convo he drops in something about some YouTube videos he'd watched in his car. So, he'd seen I'd tried to call him back but instead of phoning me back it transpired he'd watched half an hour of YouTube, read several stories on sky news and played his stupid football game on his phone (yes he's meant to be working but he's self employed)
I realise I sound VU but this is an ongoing bug bear of mine with him. He's obsessed with his fucking screen and spends hours in a zombie like state scrolling mindlessly through apps/ YouTube. When he's on it you could tell him his arse was on fire and get zero response.
He's managed to stop doing it so much when we're together because I repeatedly told him how ignorant and rude he was while on it, but obviously as soon as I'm not around he's got his face glued to it again.
AIBU?? Happy to be told I'm a grumpy cow who needs to chill out I just wanted to vent

What was the call for?

I’d be annoyed too.

Absolutely fuck all in the end 😂
Just annoyed me that I'd had the courtesy to call him back straight away, yet he couldn't even drop me a quick text to say it didn't matter .... plenty of time for YouTube though 🤬

Was it something important you needed to speak to him for?

It's irritating, but not worth a major row IMO unless the call was urgent.

My dh is my best mate, he's supportive, witty, interesting to talk to, thoughtful and giving. He'd do anything for anyone. He does, however, have a particularly annoying pig-ignorant face which he ONLY pulls when he is on Minecraft. It's accompanied by total deafness and the inability to pronounce simple words. Drives me nuts. I can tell from the other side of the room that he's on Minecraft just by looking at the expression on his face.

Nobody's perfect. Let him have a few foibles, if he's otherwise pulling his weight.

It sounds like one of those ‘I’m bored might see if she’s busy’ calls, it turned out you were. When you called back he was busy, albeit with something you don’t consider to be important.

I have very little tolerance for disrespectful phone use in company, but I also think we expect availability 24/7 now and it’s draining.

As an isolated incident I agree, it's not a big deal. Think it's just because in general his screen addiction irritates me so much
