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

[Primadonnagirl]

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Put out of date food in his lunchbox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!!!!

[monkeyfacegrace]

Ive been known to empty the hole punch into the blowers in his car, and whack them on full ready for the next time he turns the engine on, and whooooh!

funny as fuck

[shelli135]

Nobody is making you read them?

[SirChenjin]

Feel free to have a gnaw of my arm too Throughgrittedteeth

[Throughgrittedteeth]

Monkeyface love that!

[SirChenjin]

My very naughtiest one is sticking my finger on the blowhole of his cpap machine that he has for his sleep apnoea. The whooo-whooossssh that I have to listen to all night sometimes just gets a leeetle bit too much to take.

Other nights, of course, I am so much more mature, and so I just wake him gently and we have a discussion about how his machine is keeping me awake, and whether or not one of us should put on a jumper, and

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

[TerrysNo2]

this thread is awesome, I love practical jokes! i am memorising the flowers, battery in the remote and hole punch bits in the car!

DH once used the cleaning toothbrush to brush his teeth, I had nothing to do with it and I wasnt there but when I saw it out and asked him I did laugh at the irony that if only he had ever cleaned the toilet he would know what that brush was used for.

[picnicbasketcase]

Nary a day goes by when I don't have to have a three hour debate about whether DH should wear a jersey. I'm going to just start flicking bogies at him.

Both sides on this are funny

[2712]

Love the one about buying the flowers then thanking the DH for them......classic.
Will definitely keep that one in mind for future use.

[elQuintoConyo]

I have done nothing more than flicking the V behind DH's back, but my vindictive DM:

Gives DF the sausage/potato/piece of toast that fell on the floor/the dog licked.

Hides DF's things so he thinks he's thrown them out by mistake.

Tells him 3days after that he had a phone call.

When she's tidying up, she collects all his stuff - books, socks, screwdrivers - and puts them under his side of the duvet.

Spits in his tea.

She thinks she's hilarious!

Yeah, great relationship they have

[stargirl04]

Gosh, I wish I was creative enough to think of taking revenge .... I just end up knackered from having disagreements.

However, I have a friend who took serious revenge on her ex, who was verbally and physically abusive and whom she divorced soon afterwards.

She made him a cup of tea, surreptitiously took it to the bathroom, urinated in it, then sat in the lounge with him and calmly watched him drink it.

All these years later it still shocks me to think of my friend - normally a decent, caring and moral person - could do that. I think it shocks her, too, to be honest.

[stargirl04]

Grrr, no editing function here - meant to say "shocks me to think that my friend...... could do that..."

[BlackDahlia11]

I would never do anything to 'get revenge' on my husband but then again he would never do anything horrible to me. It all sounds very passive aggressive. I don't get it! How can you do these things to someone you love? If a woman came on here saying her husband had been hiding her keys on purpose, putting out of date food in her lunchbox etc everyone would say he's fucked up!!

Glad I'm in an adult relationship with someone I love.

[Snazzynewyear]

Haven't done these myself but:

• couple I knew who were getting divorced but still living in the same house did all manner of things but the best was one poured milk into the other one's shoes.
  

• read either an online or newspaper column years ago about someone who had a bullying workmate/manager, who collected their own urine, put it into a plant spray mister thing, took to work and then when person was out would 'mist' their coat with the urine sprayer most days.

[Selba]

Some of these are abusive.
Imagine a bunch of men saying they did these things when angry at their wives/ partners.

[Absolutelylost]

My friend would put her husband's least favourite chocolate biscuits in his lunch box when vexed with him. My DH went through a stage of obsession with his mobile so every time I went into the kitchen I turned the router on and off and smirked to myself, hearing him bang on about unreliable connections. I did own up later and he didn't think it was unreasonable, on reflection....

Throughgrittedteeth

We play pranks on each other, but we don't feel the need to do it maliciously after an argument!

It's odd being in a relationship were you take petty or cruel revenge on each other. Isn't it?? I agree! As I said, we prank each other, but never as revenge for anything. I think that is quite disrespectful!

[NandH]

I personally just scream and yell....

my dm on the other hand has confessed to me that she has cleaned the toilet with step dads toothbrush ... he's an asshole and deserves everything he gets

[sosooootired]

well i don't think i've ever exacted revenge intentionally but..if dh has really pissed me off his dirt washing never seems to make it into the machine..I just can't be bothered to sort it
In the same vein all extra niceties are dropped..like making him a pot of his favourite tea whilst I make a pot of coffee - if I'm pissed off then it's coffee on the table and help yourself..
not very hard edge but there you go!

[Throughgrittedteeth]

I didn't say anything about them being cruel. I think getting your knickers in a twist about a few pranks which are thrown from both sides is awfully dull. The title of the thread is there for everyone to see, so rather than coming on and being passive aggressive why not just hide it?
Incidentally DP does similar things to me and I certainly do not feel abused and neither does he.
As I and several other posters have said this is light hearted.
Now I'm off to arrange my jumpers and log the temperature of the thermostat because I'm bloody bored of explaining myself.

[GiveMeSomeSpace]

Hiding things from people's OHs to make them think they've lost them has consistently been derided on these forums as gaslighting. I cannot imagine treating my wife like this.

If ever there was a thread to illustrate the fact that this is not about man/woman but really about reasonable/unreasonable behaviour, this is it. Whether that behaviour is one way or both ways is simply irrelevant.

And this is where I come to get some guidance on how to be a better father and husband............

[twojumpingbeans]

At the risk of making a bad situation worse, I have been known to not wash DH's underpants for a week thus leaving him with the rubbish boxers which make his trousers fall down and chuckling every time I see him pulling his jeans up. Does this make me cruel and bonkers? Nope (does make me laugh though!)

If I said I did this for a teenager you'd all be applauding and saying well done. Hey ho. It's the little things that get me through anyway

[Vivacia]

I take the point that if you don't like the discussion, you don't have to read it. However, I think it's ok (and interesting and important) for people to give different points of view. It's a shame that people describing more respectful and kind relationships are being mocked for being boring. I feel sympathy for the poster who said they don't play games with the heating, but just put a jumper on. What s/he described is perfectly reasonable, there's no need to ridicule them making up fantasies about discussing the thermostat for four hours.

This thread reminds me of The Twits by Roald dahl!
