AIBU husband and waitress?

[Millionnewnames]

Husband and I own a small cafe. We live in the flat above with my parents. We have two young girls working for us front of house, they are delightful and hardworking.
After noticing we were running low on a few things in the kitchen I went down into the cellar to get them and found one of the waitresses draped around my husband. I furiously asked WTF he was doing and he called me ‘a stupid woman’ and told me the girl had fainted after seeing a huge spider clambering about in the onions. He was stopping her from hurting herself as she fell.
I’m not sure what to think now.

P.s lighthearted. Bored. Guess the show and add your own.

Utterly ridiculous show and not the type I generally enjoy, but the You stupid woman used to crack me up.

I have just taken over the management of a leisure centre and the staff are awful! The receptionist, when she isn't howling, sounds exactly like a crying baby, the caretaker drips pus and my secretary is on a constant strike. WIBU to sack the lot of them and hire people who can actually do the work?

Is your husband called Rene by any chance?

Maybe a stint in the army may straighten your son out?

Oh no, he has very rare blood, also a delicate chest and I won't let him climb ladders either!

This made me properly chuckle 😁😁

I love DH, I really do,we’ve been together since we were at school,it isn’t his fault he was accused of armed robbery,he’s just easily led.My Dsis came to stay for a couple of weeks but now she’s stuck here in my beautiful home using my pool and my jacuzzi (not a stealth boast, I promise) and I’m stuck between them both.can anyone help?

I met my husband online, he’s from Essex but I live in and am from Barry Island. We get on great but there is always tension over where we should be living. I want to live in Barry but DH wants to live in Essex. My MIL is often quite hysterical and calls my DH her ‘little Prince’, which doesn’t help the situation. DH’s best mate really struggles with DH being married too and tries to insert himself into our relationship regularly. Should I LTB?

Is the waitress French, and kind of likes onions, but not spiders, and she rather likes a Handsome man, to rescue her from such horrible little creatures,a bit like you see in romantic films.

Listen very carefully, I shall only say this once…

Single mum with an 17 year old son. Long term relationship with a man but think he might be a cocklodger, always comes to mine for meals and spends the night (my son doesn't know about spending the night and calls him uncle). I'm hoping he will propose but I've been waiting years. He's much posher than I am and went to one of those public schools. It's further complicated by the fact he's my son's line manager. Not sure if I should kick him out or just accept things won't change and keep calm and carry on.

Stupid boy!

My avant garde wardrobe is entirely wasted in hicksville. My husband lost his business moire and now he skulks round our motel suite all day, along with my two entitled jobless grown up kids. There is barely room for my wigs!

Should I join the community council to liven things up round here?

@MrsLCSofLichfield

I commute to the office every day, have been doing this for decades. I hate it. I am bored all day long. The trains are late every bloody day. I don't see the point in my life any more. I leave the house every morning and my wife says "Have a nice day at the office, darling" and I say "I won't!" I don't think she even notices. What shall I do? I'm thinking of running away to start a new life. Maybe I'll join a commune?

I didn’t get where I am today without recognising Reggie Perrin when I see him.

@alwaysinpainofsomesort - do you know someone you could introduce your husband's mate to? Maybe if you set him up with a nice girlfriend he'll stay out of your relationship.

@TimeIhadaNameChange Does your receptionist keep her baby in a desk drawer? 😉

I recently bumped into the man who jilted me on our wedding day, we've decided to forget the past and become friends. My mother is extremely disapproving of our relationship and can't resist making snide remarks all the time. His family is extremely wealthy but somewhat lacking in the sophistication stakes.
I'm finding myself very attracted to him and think he feels the same should we try again?

@vampirethriller

My landlord, who is awfully annoying and always wearing a grubby vest, keeps lurking outside my room and trying to seduce me with bits of burning wardrobe! What on earth do I do?!

Just giggling to myself remembering that episode!

AIBU? Getting increasingly fed up with DP. He shares a flat with his best mate and they are so tiresome together. They make sexist jokes nonstop, drink lager to frankly dangerous levels, and chase after the woman who has the flat upstairs (tbf this is usually DP’s bestie but sometimes DP too).

I’m a nurse in my thirties and frankly I could do better. Should I LTB?

I live in a large suburban house with a huge garden that I have to admit we don’t really make the most of. My husband commutes to town everyday , but frankly he hates it, and would much rather be at home pursuing his hobbies of wine making and reading books about pigs. My next door neighbour is a bit of a cf, very judgemental about what I do, frankly she is a snob, but her OH is a sweetie, (to be honest there is a little bit of a frisson between us, though neither of us would pd ever take it further. ) My AIBU is would it be unreasonable to buy my husband a goat for his birthday?

A baby in a desk drawer? What sort of stupid idea is that?

Now, if you don't mind, I have to go and organise some exercise classes. I have a dream, you know...

A goat is never unreasonable. Let the CF neighbour suck it up.

I have job running a house in the country, looking after three men. One is a sweary alcoholic, one is an eight year old in a mans body and the other, who thinks he’s in charge, has defrauded a charity of its money . After years looking after them, the fella in charge has now brought in equipment to automate my job (making tea mostly). Clearly I am going to LTCB and run away with our milkman and his massive tool, but should I take them to a tribunal for constructive dismissal? Should I get this moved to the legal board for proper advice?

@CounsellorTroi - oh damn and blast, it's CJ! Bit of a cock-up on the anonymity front, as my boring, right-wing neighbour would say. I wish he'd stop coming round and hanging about, but I don't know how to get rid of him.

Right, that's it - I'm going to the bank and then I'm catching a train to the seaside...

@SurferRona That would be an ecumenical matter! 😉

@alwaysinpainofsomesort

These are all brilliant! What a genius idea for a thread.

It completely takes me away from my mundane life as a housewife. I've never managed to master the art of cooking and baking and I can see my two grown up sons wincing every time I place my creations down in front of them. Luckily my husband doesn't really pay any attention. He hides behind his newspaper and dentistry journals.
The most exciting part of my day is when all the male members of the household compete for the best parking space on the drive. All that swerving must drive the neighbours mad. The funny thing is that I constantly have that Dolly Parton song about some insect or other playing in my mind. Either that or Albinoni's Adagio which is altogether a more negative soundtrack to my life.
There must be something more out there, waiting for me, but I feel so ungrateful to even think about it..
