To be pissed off at DH - After holiday

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

@batsmaf

It was on the inside of the bedding and sheet. If it was the outside i wouldnt mind as much
I would have changed the bed again.

Burnt ends, but compromised immune system is not op's issue

If he does this every time why don't you wait until after the unpacking to remake the bed ?

BeHappy91818 · 27/03/2022 22:14

Are you always this much hard work?

YANBU , I totally get you OP, that's the kind of thing my OH does, I find it disgusting, suitcases get draged everywhere, probably they are dirtier than a toilett seat, why would anyone would want to put in on the bed?

Life is too short to put a suitcase somewhere other than on clean bed sheets?

Wow

SD1978 · 27/03/2022 22:17

I've never even considered it. Suitcase has always gone on the bed Confused now considering it, still couldn't and won't get het up about it.

@BurntEnds

I agree it's grim. Same as people who put their handbags on the table they are about to eat off
I have my food served on plates. I don't eat food placed directly on a table.
Darbs76 · 27/03/2022 22:18

Wouldn’t bother me

Blossomtoes · 27/03/2022 22:19

@BurntEnds

The bottom of handbags is covered in shit.
Yours might be, mine certainly isn’t.
mjf981 · 27/03/2022 22:19

Of all the things to get upset about....yabvu. Have a wine OP 🍷

sHREDDIES19 · 27/03/2022 22:20

Alrighty then…

Puppyseahorse · 27/03/2022 22:20

Why do you change the sheets before going on holiday?

Puppyseahorse · 27/03/2022 22:21

Oh sorry I misread. Why do you strip the bed before a trip?

polkadotty2 · 27/03/2022 22:21

We also got home from a city break today and I must admit I did what your DH did. Now because of your post, I am grossed out. Thanks.

JudgeRindersMinder · 27/03/2022 22:25

@BurntEnds

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

YANBU. I usually don't care about stuff like this and do things considered unhygienic. However I happen to know that this is the most common way that bedbugs are spread. Bedbugs have made a comeback in the last 10 years and it is a big problem in the US now. Some friends I know brought them back with a suitcase on the bed from a hotel in Rome and that's the only reason I know about it. It cost them hundreds of pounds and a huge amount of incontinence to get rid of them, it turned out to be very stressful for them. So If you ever stay in a hotel don't put your bag on the bed leave it far away from the bed

@Puppyseahorse

Oh sorry I misread. Why do you strip the bed before a trip?
To allow your mattress to air out.
RoundGlass · 27/03/2022 22:28

Personally. I'd be flabbergasted and appalled.

Volhhg · 27/03/2022 22:30

Stripping the bed wouldn't make any difference because they infest in the mattress and under in the woodwork. Makes no difference if it's a high end hotel either!

peachy3 · 27/03/2022 22:31

I’m sorry but if you’re not bothered by the thought of that then you’re really quite grim. YANBU OP.

WhereHaveAllTheTwigletsGone · 27/03/2022 22:32

Yabu I don’t think it’s the end of the world but if you don’t like it you could ask him not to?
