I need your help with sneaky DH

Took rings off last night left on side of the kitchen sink.
Came down from work and engagement ring has disappeared....mild panic.

Sneaky DH has hidden the ring. I've feigned disinterest but the stakes are high - we now have a game and I have all morning to find it.

All I've been told is it's somewhere in the kitchen. I've had most of the cupboards out and looked in all the glasses etc.

We have young DC so it's nowhere they would be able to find it.

All very petty and I was on the verge of texting for a clue....

I just can't get over his smug face coming and showing me where it was. It will be somewhere obvious I know it.

AIBU to ask for any suggestions? Please help - I need a win today

You both seem to have too much time on your hands.

Why do some people want life to be so joyless? Chill!

ButImNotOldEnough · 06/07/2023 10:11

@Lacucuracha you alright dear? Getting all pissed off at other people having fun with each other isn’t very healthy. Does it make you feel better to insult people?

SomersetBrie · 06/07/2023 10:11

There was a lovely thread a few years ago about a MNer and DH hiding a plastic raven from each other.
Things have changed so much here that something lighthearted can't just be scrolled past by those who don't approve.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:12

Nothing on door frames, light fittings. Haven't got a calender hook. But did check the bib one!

Looks like I'm going to have to accept my first loss. Bastard.

It’s childish drivel. Why the need to tell random strangers? Get a life

How do people get involved with dickheads like this. It’s not even funny

Well at least his wife also seems to think it’s funny and joining in so at least they’re not inflicting their annoying humour on partners who’d find it puerile. Apparently judging by some on here those of us who’d be irritated by silly pranks have no sense of humour and wear our knickers too tight 🤷‍♀️

Where did I insult her? Sue me for not finding a lost car hilarious.

Does it make you feel better to make stuff up?

Butterflyball · 06/07/2023 10:14

I'm having another go.......coffee machine where the pod goes!?

Dollysmixture · 06/07/2023 10:14

Key hook, key ring, arm of the window catch?
This is fun. It would be serious if I hid my DH’s tv remote.

JustLurkingAway · 06/07/2023 10:14

Are people missing the fact that OP said she originally started this between her & DH?Grin

Blutacked to the bottom of a drawer or the inside top of a cupboard

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:15

It’s not humorous tho is it. It’s puerile behaviour best kept to yourself

KimberleyClark · 06/07/2023 10:15

Have you checked the washing machine, sugar canister, cereal packets, fridge including egg compartments if you have them,cutlery drawer?

Sure am. Can’t believe what I’m reading. Can’t believe the investment in something so banal.

I’m a dick sticking the boot in for fun. If you don’t want opinions don’t spout details of your boring marriage

ButImNotOldEnough · 06/07/2023 10:17

@Lacucuracha ”tradwife” is typically an insult used to describe women who take on a traditional role of housewife, raise the kids and do all the “traditional” tasks of womanhood. Though you did get the insult wrong, the term you’re looking for (for a woman that finds her husband funny) is “cool wife”. At least learn your insults before using them.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:18

I'm back in the game.

Sorry to say have text for a clue.

Coffee machine doesn't have a pod bit. Fridge not in kitchen same for washing machine.

May have fed it to the dog but he seems alright.

I can see the humour in that though. It’s a specific non-value item they have which they hide for the other to find. I could play along with that. It’s a running theme. Hiding random things like an engagement ring does not have the same light hearted fun about it to me (or someone’s car pretending it’s stolen!). Hiding a plastic raven seems more fun and innocent than an engagement ring or any other personal thing you might just have placed down somewhere.

DiscontinuedModelHusband · 06/07/2023 10:18

hah! so many joyless people!

have i missed OP checking that he's not got it dangling off the end of his willy?
