To not want dirty packages left on my pillow

[adriennewillfly]

Had a very long day - drop off and pickup to school, haircuts for both the kids, cooked for everyone all while working from home. Partner is sick but able to look after DD2 while I try to get some work done. All in all a very trying day - this heat isn't helping, and I still have a few hours of work to catch up on.

The straw that broke the camels back - I snapped at having a dirty package put on my side of the bed. This package had been hidden outside on a neighbour's porch, where God knows what has been, and it's been dumped on my pillow. Of course, I'm the only one that can change the bed sheets because DP can't ever manage to do the bed sheet properly or the quilt.

Disgusting behaviour ltb

I would lose my proverbial dirty package at this

YABU

He can change a pillow case if it’s dirty.

But this isn’t about a dirty pillow is it?

Are you stressed because it’s been hot and you’ve been busy or is this more than just a one off and you’re unhappy?

Oh I also thought you meant someone had done a poo on your pillow.

What? Is the package some coal or mud? How can a package dirty your pillow?

You’re being utterly ridiculous. Just change the sodding pillowcase if it bothers you that much.

To those saying you’re being precious- no no NOOOOO, don’t you get it people?! I can’t stand bags/suitcases or anything that’s potentially been rolled in dogshit/jogger’s phlegm being placed on the bed/sofa/kitchen tops.

See pp’s comment about her postie brother- Case rested.

I'm the only one that can change the bed sheets because DP can't ever manage to do the bed sheet properly or the quilt.

Yikes. You have one of those DPS that pretends he can't do a basic task and it's simply because he doesn't want to do it so he leaves it up to you.

It's like those grown ass men that say they 'can't cook' meaning they cba following a 5 step recipe.

Can he wipe his bum properly?

I thought you were talking about poo too😂just swap your pillow with his.

Of course he can change the duvet and sheets etc just leave him to it and don’t complain it isn’t right

My brothers a postman and they quite often get used needles or dirty sanitary products in the boxes at pick up time.

What?! Quite often?!

I had no idea this was a thing!

I'm the same with suitcases. I disinfect the outside and the wheels when we get back off holiday lol
When you watch an episode of Britain after hours, all the blood, wee, poo Tec that's on the floor it doesn't bear thinking about.

You’re over reacting. Turn your pillow over if you’re bothered or get a clean pillow case. It’s not a big deal

for a second I thought this was about Amber Heard and twat Depp

Overreaction

Turn your pillow over or swap it with his. Not something that would bother me tbh.

This is the 'washing hair before going to bed' thread all over again.

The whole country has gone germ phobic.

Yup quite often. In cities a lot more regularly. It's disgusting.

Also, you'd be amazed what gets sent through the post and mingles with your letters. One man used to have post that absolutely stank the post room and vans out, and they all lodged complaints. Eventually the complaints got escalated, and police were involved as they couldn't legally open his post without them. Turns out he was buying bags of human excrement!

My little mind cannot comprehend who buys/sells this. The fact that it's even a thing makes me feel quite ill.

Why was the package left on your pillow of all places? I feel like there's a drip feed coming and this is about more than the parcel.

I opened this thread expecting it to be about a turd or a dead mouse.

Since it is neither, yabu I'm afraid

YANBU. Anything that would cause me to have to unexpectedly change bedding in this heat would give me the rage.
If I had to put a positive spin on it to snap myself out of it, I would look forward to very fast line drying weather tomorrow.

No best to use actual shit as coffee smells of coffee

I can empathise. Husband tends to put his shoes on the bed/table/kitchen counter. It drives me mad.

Just Mumsnet - and ‘‘twas ever so
