We are having a leisurely Saturday. I'm still in bed killing time on my phone sipping coffee.
Brought (otherwise very much loved DP) a coffee (that he requested) which he downed in one and then went back to sleep snoring into my right ear. WTAF?!

*yes, I know caffeine is meant to take 45min to kick in. But still.

Voting
Yes - Yanbu. This is a heinous crime and needs to be punishes.
No - Yabu. Let the poor man sleep.

Also, what is the most infuriating harmless thing your significant other does?

I honestly don’t understand what is wrong with somebody sleeping on a Saturday morning when you have agreed on a leisurely morning. 🤷‍♀️

firstevernamechange · 12/09/2020 09:02

It's not the sleeping. It's the requesting of a coffee then going back to sleep.

Also this thread is lighthearted. LIGHTHEARTED.

Hanging maybe to steep, I often start with an elbow then move on to pillow suffocation let me know once you've followed those steps
Good lucky OP

Were you picturing relaxed coffee and chat over croissants in the sunshine but got warthog-snoring and grunting? If so, I understand and YANBU Grin

firstevernamechange · 12/09/2020 09:07

buttered, I'd happily let him sleep until 4pm but he asked for a coffee, downed it and went back to sleep. [stamps foot]

Can no one see how wrong and, frankly, unnatural this is.

At uni I used to have a coffee then nap for 30 minutes and then I'd be wide awake and refreshed for the rest of the afternoon! Maybe he's gearing up for a big Saturday!

WhoAmIWhoAreYou · 12/09/2020 09:15

Yes, hang him!! 🤣 Whats the point In having a coffee if he's just gone back to bed!

firstevernamechange · 12/09/2020 09:16

disappointedkoala how mean of you to ruin me righteous rage with sensible arguments. Wink

I could easily do this. Sleep is sacred. Wake me fit meals only!

Palavah · 12/09/2020 09:19

Did you want a shag, or aee you annoyed that his snoring will disturb your reading of newspapers?

sashh · 12/09/2020 09:19

I'm with you OP

Do you have a toddler you could encourage to wake daddy up?

firstevernamechange · 12/09/2020 09:22

Only a cat who is hiding because he knows his flea treatment is looming.
might offer another coffee.

firstevernamechange · 12/09/2020 09:24

palavah, neither I'm annoyed at the unnaturalness of it all. But the snoring is just adding salt to the wounds.

@sashh

I'm with you OP

Do you have a toddler you could encourage to wake daddy up?

Surely a leisurely Saturday when one has a toddler is an unobtainable pipe dream? The closest I get to a lie in is 7:30am ish and that’s only have being a milk buffet and giving them the iPad to watch the same episode of Hey Dugee For 20 minutes before they get bored and demand a more substantial breakfast.

At least he drank it. My teenager requests tea, refuses to drink it and goes back to sleep - the tea ends up being remicrowaved about six times before she eventually gets up. Heaven knows what it tastes like.

toiletpaper · 12/09/2020 09:30

Hopefully he'll wake up with a dire urge to pee. Serves him right, LTB! Grin

Oysterbabe · 12/09/2020 09:33

I don't see the problem. 🤷‍♀️

My DH is a soaker. I've had many a fantasy about patioing him after finding something partially filled with water.

LadyCatStark · 12/09/2020 09:34

I don’t see the problem although snoring is always annoying!

Iammariedtojacksparrow · 12/09/2020 09:35

My DS woke me up at 7am this morning, we chatted and then he buggered off with his laptop, I gave him 15 minutes to find the little sod in my bed playing a game.

I was close to killing him and I gave birth to him, so I am guessing in your position he would already be dead and finding a decent lime pit to put him in

Zaphodsotherhead · 12/09/2020 09:36

My XP used to get up and walk the dog (I was expected to accompany him), then go back to bed and sleep again for another couple of hours! Leaving me wide awake (WHO goes back to bed all sweaty from a dog walk???) and bored. When he stayed at mine, my dog waited until I was ready to go out and once I'm up I'm up.

So I feel your pain, somewhat. At least you are still in bed.

That is a crime so heinous hanging would be too mild.

The second cup of coffee has worked BTW. He is very pleased the majority of mumsnet has deemed me unreasonable. Serves me right for showing him.

There is no patio deep enough for your xp.

DH watches cricket/football/darts/formula one whilst I surf the internet / read my kindle. He knows I am not interested in any of these sports. He keeps a running commentary up and pauses and rewinds to show me things that have happened then gets cross if I don’t look like I’m listening. Well sorry but I’m not actually listening, we weren’t having a conversation, you just keep talking at me whilst I’m reading!

Bowerbird5 · 12/09/2020 09:52

I have a spade.

The snoring would annoy me more than the going back to sleep but it is weird.

DH could be in line for coming in from the garden with muddy boots, not wiping them, walking all around the kitchen going through the dining room to the sitting room depositing bits of mud. My boys never did this. Boots, trainers off at the door into a basket.
It has been mentioned, he looks surprised 😮 or says it doesn’t matter. Clean shoes are ok I am not houseproud but boots for gardening with gaps in the tread for clods of black mud make me eye up the frying pan or the cutlery drawer.

Surely there is only one answer to this OP?

LTB....or do you have a patio? Wink
