What pathetic things do you do to get your own back on Dh/Dp ??

When I'm angry with him I confess to having:
Hidden his keys
Put out of date food in his lunchbox
Taken the loo roll out of the bathroom
Not told him his Mum has rung...knowing he'd get into big trouble for not ringing back!!!!

I just dont think its funny to piss off someone i love.

If my husband did something stupid to knowingly piss me off or upset me or make me unhappy he would not have my respect or love. He would not be my husband.

That is not the act of someone who loves you!

This is just weird. I know it's making some readers smile, but it just makes me so grateful for the relationship I'm in.

I honestly can't see why turning up/down a thermostat is getting some of you so upset - unless you just have a problem understand some of the posts rather than them all?

Personally, I'm not really replying to turning the heating up or down, but surely that's just something you do if you're too cold (or too hot)?

It's odd being in a relationship were you take petty or cruel revenge on each other. Isn't it??

What's petty and cruel to some is just having a laugh to some.

Yes, I think some couples just have fun pulling pranks on each other, but this thread is about revenge not practical jokes.

I get my revenge on DH turning down the heating by turning it up - and vice versa. Hardly the worst thing to happen in a marriage (esp. one that's lasted almost 20 years) now it it?

Also someone said they farted on their DP's pillow. Now THAT is funny. If I ever did anything to DP that was cruel and spiteful I'd consider why I was doing it but farting and pranking as revenge is funny.

If I'm hot I'll turn the thermostat down, that's not me being nasty to my husband, it's me being comfortable. If he's cold then we'll discuss it and agree a compromise temp or the cold one will put a jumper on. I don't see it as something to get worked up about and don't take it personally. The thermostat is there for to be altered if the temp is uncomfortable.
If you're cold put a jumper on, if you already have a jumper on then discuss it and he can take his jumper off.

Farting as revenge is funny if you are 6.

If I had to have a sit down conversation about the thermostat temperature is be seriously considering how boring I was.

I iron the body of his shirts but not the arms, been doing it for years but only to random shirts. About one a week for twelve years. I don't do it when he annoys me just all the time but it gives me an extra chuckle when he pisses me off, and no I don't do all his ironing.

Jolly good for you 2rebecca. As with Throughgrittedteeth, DH and I have more than enough going on in our lives without having to discuss the thermostat and whether or not one of us should put a jumper on.

You posts are making me alternate between nodding off and fighting the urge to gnaw at my own arm at their tedium.
