I need your help with sneaky DH

734 replies

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 08:57

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

Any pets with collars? Check those

Wife2b · 06/07/2023 11:06

Ha this is funny, some people need to lighten up. I’ve always wondered how some people get to being middle aged and miserable…guess I know, it’s ok to be childish every now and then! Glad you found your rings OP, revenge is yours - hide his car keys.

^ This. See? Not just me

No not just you, but at least you’re in the vast minority!

Happy Thursday!

there are some right miserable fuckers on this thread. If you don't find it amusing there's no need to keep reading. Just roll your eyes in a smug, superior fashion and move on.

To all those people who have posted negatively, why don't you all just fuck off and post on another thread if this one bothers you so much.

I'm amazed how a light hearted thread can warrant so much nastiness, misery and knobheadness

Absolutely! If I think something is crap on MN I just scroll on by. OP - I am now wracking my brains on the clue. Where are your radiator key, or window locks/keys?

Wife2b · 06/07/2023 11:07

Oh sorry just seen you haven’t found them. Hmm underneath the cutlery tray?

What an actual waste of life this is. Absolutely pathetic.

As was your effort commenting on this thread.

Happy Thursday 😀

Inside the oven gloves?

iwantmyownicecreamvan · 06/07/2023 11:08

Near some knives?

God, I just couldn't be arsed with this.

Hmm, that’s a great idea, but I’d say that was cheating unless the pet only goes in the kitchen but I’m a bad loser 😀

Is it gold?
Set your detector to 40kHzish and wave it around a bit?

Does your kitchen window have a key ?

Bugger, of course, I was forgetting it was kitchen only

What a great idea, thank you! Saves me spending hours trying to come up with clues that he will inevitably solve in minutes!

SwankyPants · 06/07/2023 11:11

Inside a matches box?

WetBandits · 06/07/2023 11:12

What the fuck is wrong with some people 😂 get the stick out of your bum and have a bit of fun sometimes!

This sounds like the sort of silly game I’d play with DP (as a bit of fun amongst our busy lives, as I’m sure it is for you OP!)

Hoping for a win for you…have you checked the first aid kit?

MenoRageisReal · 06/07/2023 11:13

Thisismeyeah · 06/07/2023 09:18

1st you need to find it, second you need to put it somewhere else. When he returns claim you havent found it and when he goes to get it and its not there let him sweat as he will think he has lost it.

Evil genius!

Oh stop it having fun with your DH! Getting away from the stresses and strains and laughing together, what’s wrong with you!

Fight fire with fire. Hide his car keys (or other item that will drive him mad).

This.
Doesnt sound like a fun game if he’s smug. I couldn’t be bothered with someone like this, I prefer being married to an adult.

shinywhiteteeth · 06/07/2023 11:15

Started off thinking how childish. Now hooked thinking up hiding places and working out cryptic clues for you!! In the oven/microwave. Have you got a lever for turning gas off? Burglar alarm? Please win

ElizabethBest · 06/07/2023 11:15

Smoke alarm
Inside the oven gloves
Maybe check he hasn't taped it to the bottom of the tea caddy? (Safe-tea?)
Fuse box
