Anyone up to marvel at my DP's stupidity?

[BiloxiBlues]

We've arrived in Venice.
Had to walk through a slightly flooded square to get to hotel so took shoes off and went for it. Get a shower in hotel, no big deal.

I look behind me and DP is wheeling the CANVAS suitcase right the through the dirty canal water.

Am now stood handwashing my (new) dresses in the sink and fuming.

I deliberately packed carefully so only have precisely enough clothes for the days we're here.

He thinks IABU to be pissed off.

AIBU?

One day you will laugh about this, when you're celebrating your golden wedding anniversary. Assuming he's not under the patio by then .... 😉

Try not to let it spoil your trip.

Yes, I’d be wanting to cut my feet off if I’d had to do this 🥴

I would agree, but then if the shoes were going to get soaked and the feet get wet inside with the manky water anyway, I'd probably at least try to save the shoes from ruin and scrub the feet at the earliest opportunity!

Same. I probably wouldn't have thought twice about just wheeling it

Re Venezia ... I once stood in tears staring at a German railway timetable trying to get to Cologne and not realising it was Köln. I was 55.

But why are you not standing over him supervising him handwashing your dresses?

In future, why don’t you be in charge of the bag. Delegating the heavy lifting has its upsides but also its risks.

I walked through calf-deep water when I was in Venice aged 23. It was that or my Uggs. I did worry about rats and all the various waterborne diseases I was probably acquiring, but I had no choice!

Just don't fucking care, someone else will sort it...
They cannot be thickos at work, can they?

Go shopping........with wine pit stops

What an idiot. I'd be fuming and dumping his stuff in the canal

This is the kind of thing I would easily and unthinkingly do, so I wouldnt be too angry.

I don't think it takes any particular feat of strength to wheel a case along behind you.

But if you're happy to let someone else do the "heavy lifting" you have to accept that they may not do it as you'd like.

Personally I wouldn't take a suitcase on a short trip and I'd carry my own rucksack but we're all different. I also wouldn't take my shoes off to wade through filthy water either.

Carry your own bag then

I’m assuming some of his clothes are also wet and dirty so he is also paying the price

Well, OP, surely he has to take you shopping now, since you have nothing to wear?! 😉

OP and her DP sound like birds of a feather.

Exactly. Wash the feet well and dry them, job done.
