Absolutely none of my ‘go to’ clothes!

[Jessforless]

I’ll start by saying, I’m obviously unreasonable because why didn’t I check or do it myself 🫣

Posting for the absolute ridiculousness of it really.

Im away with my family skipping across a couple of cities we’ve been really excited about. I was working and did leave stuff last minute, ran upstairs, tried stuff on and made a yes pile. (Also, I left a ‘discard’ pile on the floor by my bed to just donate to charity later. Too small, unflattering, etc… I’m a very self conscious person. Don’t show my arms even in summer etc)

DH said ‘I’ve packed the pile you left.’

I said ‘thanks so much!’

we’re here. Of course… it’s the discard pile all inside out. Not the neatly folded pile on the bed next to the case?!!

why. Why!!!

I do have a very nice dress I wore on the plane, thinking glass half full!

Oh lord! Like an actual nightmare! Well I’d be in the nearest H&M if that’s an option.

Oh no!!!! I can fully appreciate how gutting that must be. I need to wear clothes that are comfortable and that I’m happy with to relax and enjoy myself!! Could a little shopping spree be on the cards?

My DH would do this. Always dresses DS in crazy gear, when sensible clothing is right there, he “didn’t see it”. Puts a random wash on containing one sock, then complains of having no socks’n’jocks… Neatly wraps two bits of leftover broccoli (that won’t be eaten) & puts them in the fridge, forgetting about a whole chicken that’s then been left in the oven overnight. Etc…

Oh no!!

Time to buy more stuff, necessarily (obv), reminder of your time away!

Oh no!
In future pack yourself.
We've had a couple of suitcase/packing disasters and I always now do it all myself.

Oh no...
Wear your nice dress and head to the shops. It will be a fun story in the future...
My husband left my makeup bag behind when travelling to a remote location in France for a wedding. Thank goodness I managed to find a local supermarket storing some cheap make up!

Yeps @Jessforless you need to head to a nearby shop and kit yourself out. Then leave the stuff he did pack in a charity shop abroad!

Firstly I'd never let anyone pack my case

Secondly I'd make him buy me new clothes asap before we do anything. Obviously I choose he pays

Oh god I would be torn between laughing and crying, potentially both at the same time.

Bright side…? This could be the start of your ultra chic European ( I’m assuming Europe I don’t know why) capsule wardrobe. Get thee to Zara.

I had the opposite once. Had a bag of clothes when I came home from uni and for some reason my Mum thought it was a discard pile and donated it all to the charity shop.

Sounds like it’s time to go shopping. Have fun x

Why would you let someone else pack for you? Did he pack your underwear too?

Well what more perfect excuse could you have to buy some lovely new outfits! I'd be delighted. Go get his credit card off him and enjoy it.

We once went up the Amazon and we knew that we had the leave 1 of our suitcases for a few days in a storage facility. The boat was too small to take too much luggage. We had 2 grey suitcases, 1 large and 1 medium ( or so I thought!). I told my husband to leave the medium case in storage facility. My husband had always thought we had a medium case and a small one! We now have different coloured suitcases.

This ! Wouldn't trust mine in a million years

I have been there OP! When packing for our honeymoon, to a hot country where it isn't straightforward to get stuff, I folded up all my clothes nicely and then put a huge chunk of them back in the drawer. It was pre-wedding jitters. Did not realise until I got there.

Did you not notice the pile of clothes still on the bed when you went to put your last minute bits in eg toothbrush, make up etc?

OMG that man excels at strategic incompetence 🤣
