To think OH prank isn't funny?

Today is the day I hear if I got the job I wanted I'm really banking on getting it and will be gutted if I don't.

I get terrible anxiety I worked myself up so much last week I had a panic attack. OH has been pranking me this morning of No caller ID he even got his brother to join in.

I kept thinking I missed the call and was wondering why they couldn't hear me when I kept saying Hello, I was getting my self into a right mess.

OH and his brother cracking up laughing messaging each other, now they've put me in a terrible mood.

AIBU to think this isn't funny or am I just too serious?

What kind of fucking assclown would do that to someone? That’s a horrible thing to do. Good luck for the real call 🤞

PolloDePrimavera · 15/03/2021 17:51

Once, maybe, just about acceptable if you are extremely tolerant and forgiving. Actually no, it's just not. I'm sorry OP. I really hope you get the job. Chuck him out and get an au pair if you have a spare room, or a childminder.

EerieSilence · 15/03/2021 18:15

This is neither acceptable nor funny. He's a total prick. I think you need to be cool but firm about this and tell him that his behaviour is totally unacceptable and you can't forgive him, especially as he didn't even see anything wrong about it.

simonisnotme · 15/03/2021 18:15

hes a nasty piece of cack

AnotherKrampus · 15/03/2021 18:19

He is a cruel, abusive bully!

HeadNorth · 15/03/2021 18:23

Kick him out, whether you get the job or not. Paid childcare wouldn't treat you like that.

steppemum · 15/03/2021 18:25

@justanotherneighinparadise

So he doesn’t work and spends his day instead taking the piss out of you? Yeah that’s not working well is it?
'he doesn't work'

now, I think he is being a dick, but he is the stay at home parent to two small children.

if you accused a stay at home mum of two small children (i'm guessing both 3 and under as they have been together 4 years) of 'not working' you would get your arse handed to you on a plate

MrsEricBana · 15/03/2021 18:26

That is SO cruel. I'm very sorry. Really hope you got good news Flowers

Cam77 · 15/03/2021 18:30

Apart from it being a joke you’d expect from an 8 year old, he keeps blocking your phone line.

Borderterrierpuppy · 15/03/2021 18:31

He is delighting in your mental distress,
He is enjoying making you feel bad, what a prick!

flippertygibbit · 15/03/2021 18:33

What a horrible thing to do - show him this thread, shame on him!

SylviaPlath1984 · 15/03/2021 18:36

Please tell us you got the job!

Travis1 · 15/03/2021 18:41

What a walloper. I’d seriously be reconsidering the relationship

mogtheexcellent · 15/03/2021 18:57

I would really question someone like that raising my children.

Get your ducks in a row is my advice

AgathaAllAlong · 15/03/2021 19:04

Hope you got the job. Your husband sounds like a right cunt he needs to understand that upsetting people is not funny or he'll pass on this horrible attitude to DC.

YouokHun · 15/03/2021 19:05

I suppose this comes under the heading of “banter” in his regressed world? Most of us would call it bullying. I think it is really nasty and more so for pulling his brother in on it too. I am all for a joke but he should have ceased as soon as he could see you weren’t finding it funny and it’s pretty nasty to keep doing it. Ideally he shouldn’t have joked like this at all of course. Presumably he benefits from you getting the job so he ought to take it more seriously and treat you with more respect.

FreddyTheFlute · 15/03/2021 19:08

He is a nasty bully. You dont need to put up with it

hapagirl · 15/03/2021 19:09

This is just so horrible, unkind and unsupportive. I hope you get the job and make yourself free of this arse.

Umbivalent · 15/03/2021 19:13

@afternoonnapqueen

We've been together 4 years and have two DC's I already work full time and he looks after the kids.

What's annoyed me the most is he's not even apologised. He just thinks it's funny his brother just pranked me again and OH is still laughing.

I would never think of doing anything like that to someone!

Your DH, and his brother, are fucking dicks.

Janxyb · 15/03/2021 19:26

That is really nasty. Is your OH 13 years old? It's a mean thing to do anyway but when he already knows you are anxious it's just evil!

Thelnebriati · 15/03/2021 19:29

afternoonnapqueen Get a second phone for real life grown up stuff and don't give either of them the number.

Chottie · 15/03/2021 19:34

Just so unkind, why would you do this to someone you love and then carry on when the person is obviously distressed.........

He is just a revolting bully........

Sexnotgender · 15/03/2021 19:34

Has he always been a massive bellend? Hope you get the job and can leave him.

ForTheLoveOfWine · 15/03/2021 19:37

I’m sure he will find it funny when you ask him to leave...
How vile
