To be pissed off at DH - After holiday

[batsmaf]

We get home from a city break. I always strip the bed before a trip. So i make the bed and DH puts the disgusting suitcase on it!

I'm not a germaphobe just an average person that likes a clean house, but come on! It's common sense, its been on a filthy plane, in bathrooms, dragged around numerous cities, now all of that is on our lovely fresh bedding!

That excitement of getting into a clean bed after a good scrub off the holiday shower is now tainted

YABU. This wouldn't even cross my mind as an issue and I am not a slattern.

This wouldn't even enter my head to think about. Muddy shoes, maybe but a suitcase, no I wouldn't care

You sleep inside the bed cover and he presumably put the case down on the outside cover. YABU

Surely the suitcase is on top of the blankets/duvet and not the bit you will actually come into contact with when you are in bed, though?

This is not something I'd even thought about before I read your post. We unpack onto the bed when we get back from holiday too; not something that would remotely bother me.

Couldn't get fussed about it tbh.

I agree it's grim. Same as people who put their handbags on the table they are about to eat off

YABU and weird.

Fairly normal to put suitcase on the bed I thought.

I'm not a germaphobe

It seems like you are.

Yanbu I agree it's grim.

Every day is a school day on MN.

Put a blanket or throw over the clean bedding. I have a patchwork quilt which I put on top of the bedding during the day and when we go away as the cat likes to sleep on the bed. I fold it up when we go to bed.

The Horror!

Oops I do that. I need to get my glasses out to read the menu and they've always dropped to the bottom..

And with the hand bag on the table...well I eat my dinner off a plate not the table

Could not get worked up about this

Did you have a nice break? You seem quite tense.

Total non issue. Yabu

YANBU. Gross. I’d be annoyed (also don’t sit on the bed in clothes I’ve been travelling in; but I AM a germaphobe ). Probably not so torn up about it I’d post on Mumsnet but I’d still grumble and be cross for a few minutes.

I read an article about bedbugs which stated that one way they get into your house is via suitcases which have been sitting in a hotel room for several days. So maybe the OP is onto something.

YANBU, OP, the amount of faecal matter that is now on the bed is staggering!

What an idiot.

Does he ever change the bedding? Maybe if he washed/dried/folded and remade the bed, he’s have more care.

I would never put a suitcase on a bed unless I'd given it a wipe down first. I only do that when I get the cases out of the loft to pack.
It's a bit like putting your handbag on the floor in a public place. Or is that just me?

I’m with you op, when it’s a wheeled case. The idea of the wheels having gone though pee, poo, mud etc and then on the bed is gross.

I'm confused about the handbags? Surely the fact that you eat off the plate, using cutlery, means that your handbag, which may or may not be absolutely filthy, does not contaminate your food?

It has never in my life occurred to me not to do that

Oh well, it’s apparently not killed me or anyone else, not something I’ll lose sleep over.
