AIBU to yell at DH for scaring the crap out of me??

Picture the scenario:

Me in kitchen.

DH in lounge.

DH walks normally whilst chatting to me sneaks up on me, whilst I am dancing round kitchen singing at top of voice to ipod quietly doing dinner in the kitchen.

I turn round and he is there!

Tis just bloody rude if you ask me, and therefore deserves "You b*stard you could have warned me you were coming!!"

See, completely reasonable behaviour given the cold calculated sneaking if you as me.

Disclaimer: This is not a true aibu situation.

YANBU

at all.

men!

BroccoliSpears · 26/04/2008 20:31

He's lucky you didn't accidentally impale him on your wooden spoon!

collision · 26/04/2008 20:31

or you could have chased him round the kitchen, stripped naked and had some 'fun' with him!

cornsilk · 26/04/2008 20:33

Do all men do this? I once worked for someone who used to do that.

scorpio1 · 26/04/2008 20:36

mine does this.

to get back at him i hide in the dark hallway last thing at night and wait for him to come out from the bathroom. and shout boo at him from the front room door!

MrsWeasley · 26/04/2008 20:38

This could so easily be DH and I! We are always scaring each other. Some days he actually thinks I am trying to give him a heart attack. I like to stand outside the bathroom door and when he opens it I am just there

helenelisabeth · 26/04/2008 20:39

My DH hid behind the sofa last night - for 20 mins then jumped out! I absolutely shat myself. I now have throat infection which I blame him for (the screams were that loud)!

MrsWeasley · 26/04/2008 20:39

remember whats said on MN stays on MN and can't be used by courts or insurance companies (i hope!!)

Flame · 26/04/2008 20:47

He's just come in and turned the light on and off so I know he is there

20 minutes?!

That's dedication to the cause.

What was he doing back there?

Psychomum5 · 26/04/2008 20:51

heheheheheheh

I do this to Si....

he pulled a knife on me tonight!!!!

(PS....YABU.....VERY....)

Mrs Weasley - my mum used to stand behind the bathroom door to scare me because she thought it was funny that my legs would turn to jelly and I'd fall down in a heap...

helenelisabeth · 26/04/2008 20:53

Probably picking the skin off his feet (his sickening bad habit). Once he starts, he can't stop. I found a mound of it in my DD's bedroom the other day (on the arm of the chair). I nearly threw up.

Flame · 26/04/2008 20:54

I remember me n my sister doing it if we went to the loo in the night... My sister didn't realise (until I took pity years later and told her) that the reason I didn't jump when she came back and yelled "BOO!!" was because we always had our bedroom curtains open and I could see her reflection as she was walking up

In fact, we need a thread on our DH's bad habits.

Alambil · 26/04/2008 21:18

dizzydixies · 26/04/2008 21:20

Flame · 26/04/2008 22:33

A bell is a fine plan

Clearly grounds for divorce, or sending him out to buy you copious amounts of Green & Blacks.

Spidermama · 26/04/2008 22:41

YA sooo NBU. Selfish bastard. I'd 'ave his balls if I were you.

Ledodgy · 26/04/2008 22:42

my ex-bf once crept up on me when i didn't know he was in the house and grabbed me from behind for a "joke". Unfortunately this was in the early stages of our relationship and he didn't know i had been to self defence classes...cue one boyfriend collapsed and groaning on floor with stamped on foot, elbowed throat and kneed ahem, private parts. Ooops, couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

addictedtoharibo · 27/04/2008 08:56
