AIBU to tell DH after BiL frightened me at the window?

I’d just gone into the kitchen to make a coffee and saw a blokes face squashed up against the glass of the kitchen window with all his teeth exposed. I screamed instinctively and threw my mug at the window. He pulled away and I realised it was BiL who was now laughing his head off. I went out and started shouting at him which he responded to by pulling stupid faces at me. I told him to fuck off and I called my sister to tell her what he’d done to which she said he was a prick but asked me not to tell DH as she doesn’t want an atmosphere on holiday!

AIBU to think I should tell him what dickhead has done now??

Just leave your bike in his hallway indefinitely OP, that'll teach him!

Ohhh it's that poster?

Yes OP, I would tell DH. Any man willing to purposely scare a woman like that is not a good person to be around.

Most people would be tempted to scare a friend if they could? I can't think of anyone who would.

Halloween? That’s most people. Just those with a sense of humour do a friendly scare at other times of the year too.

Fair enough! I wouldn't seriously frighten someone at Halloween either but clearly some people are fine with it.

I couldn’t get too worked up by this.

Get a bloody life you miserable sod. You sound like fun. It was a joke.

Blow out his birthday candles, hit him with a keyboard and set a crow on him; he won't scare you again!

I need the 🤣🤣🤣 emoji!

My reaction is it's completely natural to tell your DH his brother did this, but he will probably just find it funny, as would I have! My reaction would be shock as well at first but then know and just laugh 😃 and plan a similar fun revenge attack.

You sound a little dramatic! That's the sort of thing my BIL would do and once I realised it was him, I would have laughed and called him a dickhead 🤣

Same here, I would actually do the same lol 😆

Send the crow team to peck at his window
Then see who's scared.
