H throws my agenda onto the floor, am I right to be upset? Warning - may seem trivial!

Okay, brief synopsis - h walks past a ledge that is near the kitchen. The ledge is cluttered with my stuff. On the edge I had perched my diary (as in appointments etc). As he walked past he accidentally knocked the agenda off. Because he considered that it should not have been perched on the edge of the shelf he picked it up off the floor and threw it against our cabinet whereupon it landed open on the floor. He then picked it up and dumped it back onto the floor (closed this time).
I am hurt because I would not throw his stuff around and because the agenda represents what I am trying to do with my life on a day to day basis and means a lot to me. He probably has no idea what he even threw onto the floor, just that it was mine and "shouldn't have been there".
Would something like this upset you?

Wondering you also mentioned that even if there was none of your stuff lying around just his crap that he would still find something to critise you for :(
Plus he did this in front of DS...
Don't like the sound of him one bit

My dad used to chuck things, not just on the floor, but if it got him too riled he would make a bonfire and then go rampaging through the house looking for other things out of place to go on it. My sister and I lost a fair few toys that way. I remember thinking at the age of 5 or so that it was a bit extreme... To be fair though, he did tidy up and his own stuff was always exactly where it should be. (Except when it wasn't, and then someone else must have moved it, cue another major rant. Like any of us would have dared to touch his shoes...)

Then I married a man who was the complete opposite in terms of tidiness, who actively collected bags of rubbish. So after tripping over a bag of broken toys in the middle of the lounge floor for the umpteenth time, moving a pile of mixed clean and dirty clothing off the lounge chair every night for a week, or having books drop from a shelf onto my head, I got a bit stressed and chucked things around too. (But not the bonfires.)

Don't ask about the laundry btw, I did all the washing and the putting away, but there was sabotage and non-co-operation going on in a big way.

Oh, sorry, was this about the OP? Erm... agree with everyone, it doesn't sound like an offended neat freak but about a bit of a bully, frankly.

Thanks for the recent messages with your various thoughts.

Anyway I think the conclusion that h is a bit of a bully is the correct one!!!
