To be absolutely livid with DP's 'friends'?

After a long day and a big food shop, we had just got back home after driving a few times round the block to get DS to sleep, I popped in the house leaving DP to get DS out the car when I hear a commotion- lots of yelling and peeping of horns- when I look outside in a panic, it's DPs 'friends' pulled up right next to DP deliberately papping the horn and shouting to wake my little boy up . They succeeded and he looked pretty bewildered too

They had gone by the time I got there and I saw that DP was actually smiling as if it was all a big joke. I was furious and asked why he hadn't had a go at them, told him he needed to grow some balls etc and he actually had a go back at me. I demanded his phone so could give them a piece of my mind but he wouldn't hand it over.

DP has gone back out now to get DS back to sleep. I am fuming.

They would never darken my door again. Seriously. DP would have to socialise with these bell ends elsewhere.

loobeylou · 02/05/2009 20:38

what arses!

DuffyFluckling · 02/05/2009 20:39

Ooh I'd be furious. I'd be furious with the idiot friends though, not with dp. Not his fault, and I fail to see how him having a go at them would have improved the situation.

LadyAga · 02/05/2009 20:39

wankers

TheProvincialLady · 02/05/2009 20:47

Oh I don't know DF - if my DP had made no effort to stop them but actually bloody smiled, I would have been just as cross with him.

Duffy, it wouldn't have improved the immediate situation, I agree, but they need telling IMO. If it was one of my friends (although this would NEVER happen) I would be saying 'No, actually, that is not funny, that was a completley wankerish thing to do'.

I may be overreacting (sp?) which is why I posted here but I am so mad (pregnant and hormonal too). I cannot stand any of DP's friends as it is- this just confirms what I have thought all along. I wish he would get some nicer friends and I wish he would back me up sometimes instead of caring about what other people think all the time.

yanbu, they are arses and he should be more concerned for you and his dc than his friends.

OrmIrian · 02/05/2009 20:50

Very silly. How old are they and DP?

However for your own sanity I think you might need to chill a touch?

lou33 · 02/05/2009 20:53

are you sure they didnt realise he was asleep?

OrmIrian, DP is 26, DS is 15mths. I probably do need to chill.

Actually am feeling a bit calmer now I've vented (and I've sent the main culprit a message on FB). Probably not the wisest thing to do.

They definitley did it on purpose, they were drunk, this particular friend drink drives every wknd, drugs too, he is a loser. If I knew his registration I would probably phone the police right now.

Good idea Noshouting

oh in which case give it them with both guns blazing

OrmIrian · 02/05/2009 21:03

I think I was very lucky. By the time DH and I got round to having babies all his mates had done it already. So had a healthy respect for small children and sleep

Please ensure DP realise just how funny this wasn't!

lou33 · 02/05/2009 21:03

send them all a text saying "omg guess what?!"

when they reply asking what, send another saying " you are a nob"

works all the time, i get endless comedy value from it

i've used it a few times for different situations, amazing how people cant resist replying lol

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 03/05/2009 00:24

Unbelievable. Anyone who could do that would be seriously unwelcome in my house. And if DH didn;t say anything but smiled he might be pretty unwelcome too. Your DP is quite young tho - sounds like his 'mates' might be stupid immature twats.

ItsAllaBitNoisy · 03/05/2009 00:37

Ok, so a mate of your husbands meets him on the street, and does a typically laddish thing of causing a bit of a racket. And you are LIVID??

If I was your husband I would laugh at your suggestion of taking his phone. I would also read your FB message as someone who really needs to relax.

God, the unnecessary drama of it all.

SerendipitousHarlot · 03/05/2009 00:38

Hahahaha lou, I'm so going to use that

I'm going to go out on a limb here a little bit and YABU a teeny bit.

They were just having a laugh. They probably didn't even think about your dc tbh.

Sorry.

SerendipitousHarlot · 03/05/2009 00:39

Or.... what ItsAllaBitNoisy said

Yes I was livid Itsallabitnoisy- can't see anything funny about it today either I'm afraid.

If it was an accident then that would be different but they deliberately woke up a sleeping baby- I just can't see the funny side. Really, you think it's funny too? Would you be laughing along also?

I think it's just plain stupid.

It is stupid. But it's also not the end of the world.

Morloth · 03/05/2009 09:11

A bit dumb maybe, but I am not sure it is worth being livid over, perhaps mildly annoyed - as you say DP took DS out again to get him back to sleep. No harm done.

I wouldn't have given you my phone either, it would be embarrassing to have your partner call your friends and have a go - kind of like your mum.
