Am I overreacting to DH’s April Fools??

[OneDeepOP]

This morning DH took the dog for a walk and he came back covered in “blood” and so was the dog. He came back “hysterical” and told me the dog had been savagely attacked by another dog. I was in panic mode and I ran over to next doors as she is a vet to see what to do. When we both came back from hers to the dog, DH says “April Fools” which I (and she) found extremely irritating. The blood he got from the cupboard Halloween storage. I felt humiliated, embarrassed and didn’t find it funny at all. He thinks I’m being a spoil sport!

AIBU? Am I being a wet lettuce or is this too far?

Yeah, that's not funny 😐 YANBU.

What a knob. I'd be furious

That’s really unfunny. If your neighbour was also unamused I’d say you’re not being unreasonable. Jokes are supposed to be funny.

YANBU, I would be furious

Yeah that's not funny.

It wouldn't have been funny if the joke was just on you, let alone wasting the time of your neighbour

What an absolute prick

I'd be fuming, especially as he let you go get your neighbour!! If it was just you I'd maybe roll my eyes, but letting you call for a vet is a step too far.

That's as funny as a bad diagnosis, so not really 😭.

He sounds like a psychopath. How could he possibly think that was funny??

Maybe if he had instantly revealed the 'joke', it would have been unfunny, but not awful, but to allow you to get a neighbour involved was taking it WAY too far. Did he apologise to your neighbour at least?

I think he may be slightly unhinged.

April Fools jokes are pathetic anyway once you are over the age of about 6. I always find MN weird in that they lose their shit over people being pranked usually but apparently its okay on April Fools Day.

I would have been furious at your husband

Has he got form for this kind of fuckwittedness? I'd find it deeply unfunny, too.

What next? A hilarious prank telling you a parent has died?

I didn't think anyone did April Fool's day jokes anymore. Been about 20yrs since I have experienced one. Yeah, bit stupid really.

April fools that make you think someone is hurt, dead or pregant are not funny or in even in the spirit of it. It was funny to make me think my dog was in pain and dying? I'd be furious.

April fools are supposed to be funny, this was awful. Is he normally an absolute wanker or was this a one off?!

nope no funny at all

Or won a life-changing amount on the lottery, don't forget that 😳.

I would fucking kill my husband if he did this.

what an absolute douche he is 😡

That’s what FIL did on 1 April 2020 when he told us his mum (DH’s nan) had died from COVID so yeah his side of the family can be like that.

What a dickhead. Don’t be surprised if your next door neighbour gives your house a wide birth in future.

What a prick

This shit is exactly why I hate April Fool's Day. Pranks are almost never anything but mean-spirited and cruel.
