Dh keeps taking my white wine and tonic water out of the fridge.

Soo I’ve worked a full week and done the weeks food shop. Was looking forward to flopping with a glass of white only to find yet again it’s been hoiked out and shoved in a cupboard. I only drink on a Fri night and dh doesn’t drink white. Says he hates it cluttering up the fridge.Hmm We have two small frudges,yes they get rammed but frankly at 50 years of age I think I can keep a single bottle of wine in my own fridge.Angry

Pop it in the freezer now to cool it quickly

A light tap on the head with the bottle might help him to remember to keep it in the fridge.

He has stropped off out because he thinks I’m unreasonable for having a sense of humour failure over this.

So rude of him. Especially doing it on purpose. Also the fuller your fridge the better as it saves energy. True story.

MonopolyDog · 10/01/2020 20:09

He thinks you've had a sense of humour failure over it? So he did it as a joke then...

Hirsutefirs · 10/01/2020 20:10

Ask him difficult questions like: “You don’t give a fuck about me, or anybody but your fucking self, do you?”

Daenerys77 · 10/01/2020 20:10

If you have two fridges, why not one each? Chuck all his stuff out of yours obviously.

Hirsutefirs · 10/01/2020 20:11

And put all his grog in the airing cupboard.

mummyduckduck · 10/01/2020 20:11

Put a post-it note on it - "do not remove, I want to drink this cold"

I love a post-it note battle.

Here is my first ever LTB

AngelsSins · 10/01/2020 20:12

First world problems hmm

Pretty sure AIBU is the exactly what that’s for, not serious life and death stuff.

Buy a bigger fridge

No that was my polite way of saying I got stroppy. He just hoiks it out when he feels like it even though it can easily fit and I’ve said over and again not to.

If you have a freezer, put the bottle in about an hour before you need it. And breathe......

Did the wet towel trick, he’s gone out to make a point. Me and my wine are chilling. His loss.

Teaspoon of salt in a bowl of cold water. Chills it super fast.

Not the point, I know.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 10/01/2020 20:19

put it in the salad drawer, there's barely a man alive who understands about opening that.

Ellmau · 10/01/2020 20:23

Put it at the back where he can't see it.

CottonSock · 10/01/2020 20:25

I'd be annoyed.
Can you hide a mini bottle in fridge, drink that whilst other bottle cooling.
Or ltb

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 10/01/2020 20:28

Does he have beer in the fridge?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/01/2020 20:30

"Cluttering up the fridge"?

"CLUTTERING UP THE FRIDGE"?!?!??!?!?!?!

How very dare he?!

A bottle of white is ^ornamental" to any fridge, and of great practical purpose, too.

"Cluttering the fridge . . . "

No beer, he tends to drink red.

after you have drunk the wine - stand behind dh lift bottle above head &... that'll teach him (no really op-just think about it!)
