Remind me again why it would be unreasonable to ban a fully function adult from touching the curtains?

[HoneyDragon]

It's a bendy pole. They do not need to be vigourously yanked with vigourously vigour to the ends of the pole.

If you do that then the poor smuck that closes them has to stand on the settee to put them back in the original place so they can open and shut with just a swish.

I don't see how it can be unreasonable to get a megaphone and scream

STOP FUCKING UP THE CURTAINS YOU BIG EVIL CURTAIN ANNHILATING BASTARD.

And yes this is the absolute most important thing I have to worry about. All other worries are mere vexations in comparison to this

Does he close his eyes as he draws back the curtains? Perhaps he needs confidence in what he though he knew?

Most important, can the neighbours see your DH through the curtains ?
You don't know what he might get up to if you don't supervise

I've asked for this to be moved to Classics. You lot deserve to be immortalized, who knew there was so many curtain puns?

I thought it was you that had been banned from the curtains but reading on I see you just need to calm down and pull yourself together.

Oh i am so place marking until i have enough caffeine to think of a witty response!

Mardlebum -

Hope he pleats for forgiveness this morning

Clearly LTB and runner for the hills . Sounds as slippery as a pole-itician (see what I did there ...)

There have been so many great posts, it's hard to tell who is in pole position.

Your story got me twitching, OP. YANBU.

love it!

What a fab thread for a rainy day -

Mardle your solicters letters had me howling

Tbf Dh's net worth is more than that of his abuse of bay window poles, so it's not curtains for him yet.

Seems like an open and shut case to me.

You've hooked a lot of people into this OP.

Ok Honey, I take back my puns from last night. Your DH should clearly be hung, drawn and quartered....

OP I think this is a close curtain call, he must be blind not to see the issue here. You should give him one last draw to see if he can close the deal, otherwise your silver lining could be to count your net losses, LTB, go NC and blackout the whole thing.

I think you may need more than a solicitor.
What about a barrister? After all, they know all about Taking Silk

mummysparkle would that be Austrian blind by any chance?
All this talk of curtains reminds me of the theatre, maybe the op's dh acting is rather wooden, rather like shutters in fact.

He sounds a right pane to live with to be honest. If I were you I'd drop him and be lining up a new DP who wasn't so clumsy. He must do it deliberately every time to wind you up.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. My advice is to ring 101 and get the antimacassar squad around immediately.

Is this thread really sill going?

No op, you must stay with him, he'd never manage without you, everything would be clear to see.

You sound so angry OP we may have to tie you back to restrain you!

Ahem.
