Petty pils, didn't wait for us, then moaned about fils old tux

[Hisanimalgrace]

Going to an event, we were massively delayed in traffic getting to pils .They couldn't wait for us.
So when we arrived they were leaving and mil clocked our friend in pils old tux which dh had leant him, an old 80s thing.??

Dh served us done drinks by which point fil was calling dh saying if we didn't leave immediately we wouldn't get a space in the car park! When we got to the car park it was half empty.
Mil then questioned dh about the tux friend wearing as she felt it was actually fils old one and that was for dh not to give away.

I don't want anyone in my house - who doesn't already live there - when I'm not there. I had to change the lock on one flat because I'd stupidly given my mother a spare key and she kept letting herself in when I wasn't there.

So no, your in laws were not being unreasonable at all. Especially as you were already running 50 minutes late. As countless other posters have already said, you should have used the bathroom and then left with them. End of drama.

3rd time of asking: who booked the tickets to the event?

If your son and his wife did this to you, you’d be the first to moan OP. You were invited to go to an event with PIL, you accepted, you were late, you proceeded to go for drinky poos as that was more appealing, you’re PILs were ringing to ask where you were and you say they are rude.

You need a word with yourself.

@Hisanimalgrace

Desperation there was no other tux?? He didn't care.

I'm also amazed that so many people don't feel flustered after being stuck in traffic and are happy to walk straight into and do without checking hair, make up, loo etc

You were in a car for less than an hour, not bouncing around going cross-country on a horse. Normal thing to do is go for a pee before you leave the house. Most parents remind their kids of this from when they are potty trained, so it becomes a habit to pee before you go anywhere.

Why do you need to check your hair etc when you have been doing is sitting in a car?

Most cats have mirrors in the visor , btw.

Yeah, vain self-obsessed fuckers.
This is why I prefer dogs, @ButtockUp

I expect the FIL given that he is a member of the golf club/rugby club/masons or whatever this mysterious venue is.

@Hisanimalgrace

A stubborn child for wanting the loo and stretch out from being cooped up in the car?

You aren’t a battery hen

And yes, childish because adults know to go to the loo before they leave the house. Thats really basic.

Over 400 posts from people saying she's in the wrong - OP grabs onto the one which she thinks backs up her crazy...

Perfect

@Hisanimalgrace

Doom, or maybe I am more understanding and can't imagine panicking with my older dc in the house because id like to think I've raised or by then will have raised reasonably civilised children who can behave in the house.

But have you taught them the civilised habit of peeing before they go out?

The champagne thread is a real treat isn’t it.

Being stuck doesn't affect you you just happily sit? Not stressful? Is this why we have so many traffic problems in the UK because no own bats an eye at being stuck?

If I'm stuck in a traffic jam, I've learnt that it's pointless stressing about it because I won't get there any quicker.

How would it solve all our traffic problems if we all stressed out about it?

Yes because it does rest on the car park doesn't it?

No, OP, because they left you in the house. If they were so desperate to get you out, they would have insisted on you leaving when they did.

@Hisanimalgrace

For goodness sake, drink drivers???? Really??

You do know that alcohol impairs judgement? And that even one drink can be the difference between life and death?

England, Wales and NI have one of the highest drink drive limits in the world.

Everywhere else sets regulations that mean even one drink puts you over the limit.

Because alcohol creases the risk of accidents

Don’t drink and drive

It’s that simple.

Why was being stuck in traffic so stressful if you weren’t worried about getting to the event on time?
Sometimes a certain road closes in my town which causes the entire town to become gridlocked. If I don’t have to be anywhere by a certain time then it doesn’t make me stressed. Annoyed yes, but not so stressed that I need to redo my hair.

@Hisanimalgrace

Ok, so no one has nipped to the shop's and found themselves stuck in some massive traffic problem?

Being stuck doesn't affect you you just happily sit? Not stressful? Is this why we have so many traffic problems in the UK because no own bats an eye at being stuck?

I can't believe I'm even having too explain normal human feelings being stuck in traffic. WHEN YOU DIDNT EXPECT TO BE

Commuters experience traffic congestion all the time. It’s a fact of life for many. Getting stressed doesn't achieve anything.

If a 30 minute delay it is affecting you so much that you need to pee and have a drink, maybe you should see your GP.

OP, do you honestly think that they don't trust your DH and you in their house? You keep saying this but it would be a weird thing to think if it wasn't a long standing issue? Have they never left your husband in the house alone before? Do they follow you around if you are there?

I understand that they might have wanted you out the house because they were worried you were going to be late but I don't think that means they don't trust you in the house?

Who paid for your tickets?

You aren’t a battery hen

Golden.

Flipperigibbit - i gave that to a charity shop .. and you went and bought it 🧐

To be fair, I think people saying ‘Why did you need the loo after an hour?!’ are missing the point. It really isn’t that unusual to urinate an hour after you last did. The point is, I don’t believe the in-laws would have had any issue if the OP had said ‘I know we’re running late, but can I just rush in to use the loo?’ They would hardly have replied ‘Forget it - you’ll just have to piss yourself’. The issue is that the OP wanted a sit down ‘in peace’, a drink and a relax as well as a toilet break. That’s what has caused the problem.

This is all a bit Abigail’s party and would make a fabulous play for today, all the older mnetters will know what I mean.

This is the same poster as the ‘wrong horse’ thread. Both can’t tag and spell definitely as ‘defiantly’. The latter also being pretty descriptive of her writing style!

Are they H from Line of Duty?

Or was that definatly?

No she’s defiant
