To think DH is over reacting?

[Washyour]

We were watching a news story about a Whale that had been spotted somewhere it had no business being and then they turned to a young kid who had witnessed it and said something about “12 year old Max is worried”. They then went on to interview Max.

DH threw a cushion at the TV and told Max to shut up I told him to stop it so he shouted “fucking Max and his importance” anyway he’s gone on about it ever since, keeps telling people about it (always exagurates it) and everytime something is on the news he shouts “but what would Max think??” And often throws a cushion. He won’t say why it’s annoyed him so much but won’t stop going on about it. AIBU to think ok it was a bit of an over reaction at the time and now he’s just being weird and should forget about it?

This is quite an odd reaction. Does he shout and throw things around often?

Erm.....what?!

Is he quite well????

Um....that is really odd. All of it. I don’t really know what to say.

What’s he really worried about.

So so bizarre

Throwing a cushion at the tv in anger about a child?! Makes him sound like a berk to be honest

Sounds like the sort of thing that would happen in my family, where 'Fuck Max' would become a catchphrase that we'd all repeat at odd times and fall about laughing.

Is this the sort of family he's from, OP?

Completely bizarre reaction! He needs to get a grip!! Seriously OP...this is NOT normal behaviour!

this sounds like me. Plenty annoys me about people on TV

Was there not an element of comedy to it though ? Does he laugh at all when he's moaning about Max?
What would Max say about his mood?

If someone is so annoyed about a child and throwing a cushion and then keeps going on about it, I’d think WTF

Zaphods, it's aready becoming a catchphrase here.

Why don’t you start saying it first?

Seems normal to me, stupid news reporting, why would we care what max thinks over some say scientist etc?

He laughed at first saying “well Max knows what he’s talking about to be fair” but now he just seems angry about it. Saying why does anyone give a fuck what Max thinks”

It has nothing to do with the tv and news story. Something else is going on and this is displacement. Have a think what might be really going on then try a broach it with him when he's calm.

"somthing else is going on"

Will nobody think of the whale??

I sympathise with him to a degree. The fashion for asking children and foetuses their opinions on sundry matters they know bugger all about in “serious”news programmes is utterly ridiculous.

Is he cross because he’s not being interviewed on TV and being asked to share his opinions?

Was he actually angry. That’s exactly the kind of joke me or my husband would make.

That came out more sarcastic than I meant it. I’m wondering if there’s somewhere he’s not being heard (or belittled / ignored/talked over) and seeing a child being interviewed has brought up the anger about it.

😂 I can't stop laughing. 'What would Max think?' And what would he think about the cushion throwing? So many questions.

I want to know more about the whale.

I think it's quite funny too

Cushion throwing seems odd!
