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Put out of date food in his lunchbox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

[cheeseandchive]

baby, I think the thread is more along the lines of 'funny things that I do to tease DH/P' rather than 'this is how I deal with anger'

[Primadonnagirl]

Exactly! Big serious issues mean proper adult behaviour...annoying life stuff is better dealt with humorously!! Ps I've shown my DH this thread and so far he doesn't look traumatised!

[PipkinsPal]

Prima I'm with you. I'd rather be in a household of fun but then again I only see my BF on weekends so we don't have any "serious" issues, well unless you call leaving a used teaspoon on the side of the draining board serious . I did blow up at him not 10 mins earlier, I was on the phone and he wanted a ruler and he couldn't wait for me to finish the call . Now that issue is over and I don't need to spend the next hour or so discussing how him interupting me made me feel.

[Vivacia]

Yeah, must be great to be in a relationship where he pulls your trousers down in the street, uses your toothbrush to clean the toilet, deliberately doesn't pass on phone messages and hides your keys(!).

Some of you seem to think that the alternative (i.e. respectful and kind) is a po-faced, serious and boring relationship. It really isn't.

[deedotty]

I'm contently well past the "living with full time partner/marriage stage" - tend to have lovers/boyfriends really, happy to do so till I'm pushing daisies?

That said, I am very capable of being annoyed. Then I tend to state what I think IN THE MOST UNDIPLOMATIC WAY POSSIBLE!

My date this last weekend was doing the whole "but you're a woman with a few fertile years left blah blah blah surely you are DESPERATE to have my child and wear my ring...." spiel.

So I said.

"...well, I certainly don't want to get married again, and I can assure you if I did it certainly wouldn't be to YOU....."

He just stared at the wall.

Meh?

I got my punishment though. An hour later....

Him (whispering in my ear as I grabbed him lustily - we weren't that compatible in other ways but my fanjo LOVED him) :

"... you've got to say you're SORRY you said that before we have sex ..."

[Nehru]

REALLY ODD the trousers thing

weird

[A1980]

For those of you that do unspeakable things with the toothbrush: your DH / DP will kiss you and his dc after brushing with it........!

[Lweji]

At least it looks like in successful couples both have a similar sense of humour.
So, childish or not, just as long as you both are ok, go ahead.

[Fleecyslippers]

'So, childish or not, just as long as you both are ok, go ahead.' That's the issue though Lweji - am fairly sure that the nasty stuff isn't the stuff that people will confess to - so if you cover your partners toothbrush in your own urine, you're hardly likely to tell him about it. So how can he/she be okay with it?

There are loads of the nastier things of this thread that people have admitted their partners have 'no' clue about.

[charlove]

tip a couple of his beers down the sink and tell him he must have drunk them.

hide his fags or lighters.

put some of his tobacco in the bin.

not wash his work shirts.

once i restrored his phone to factory settings so he lost everything.

[YoniBottsBumgina]

A lot if these petty acts of revenge seem to be occurring in households where it sounds like the woman is the one doing most of the housework etc? Maybe it's a way of trying to alleviate frustration over the situation in general whether that's a lazy husband or just not being happy in the at-home role.

[noddyholder]

I can't believe you admit to this Get help

[shelli135]

DP was addicted to a game on iPad (hobbit kingdoms??) When asked to do something I was ignored, DS was ignored when saying 'daddy daddy daddy', he was on it all the time (apart from when at work)...
So I deleted the game, he wasn't too impressed.

Pathetic or not, I don't get ignored anymore.

Muahahaha

[HerrenaHandbasket]

I don't think our household is staid and boring but honest to god I have NEVER thought of doing anything like this. I like my DH even when he's annoying so why would I want to do stuff like this to him?

Seriously

[Lweji]

True, Fleecy.
Some things described here are red flags and I'd dump a partner immediately if they had done that to me.
It's not of a loving person.
I mean I wouldn't do some of this stuff to twat ex, let alone a loved one, no matter how angry I was.

I meant couples that actually share pranks and know about them.

[Beckamaw]

I've done worse.
Ex BF who had cheated. I popped all of his nicest clothes in the machine with an entire pack of garlic granules. Apparently he stank for a while.

An ex work colleague ate an entire buffet (on a bed of iceberg lettuce) that had been provided for us to share. I stapled up the ends of his jacket sleeves and tipped the iceberg lettuce remnants down them. I was in convulsions when he put the jacket on.

Another co-worker used to ask for a Mars Bar every time someone went to the shop, but never ever offered to go. When it was my turn I carefully opened the Mars Bar, cut it open and dug out the filling, which I replaced with piccalilli. I then sealed up the outside with a hot knife and refrigerated. I glued the pack shut.
Nothing is funnier than watching someone bite into a Mars Bar and a pickled onion rolls out!

I don't do anything like this to my DP though!

[Nehru]

Wtf are garlic granules.

And bollocks to the mars bar

[SingingSands]

Used his toothbrush to brush the dog's teeth.

[miffybun73]

Nothing, I honestly didn't realise that people did these things, very strange.

[exoticfruits]

It seems weird to me- as if you are the child. I would just talk about whatever was upsetting me and get a solution.

[Beckamaw]

Nehru,

Garlic granules - dried up garlic that you can add to food. Smells terrible. Tastes worse.

The Mars Bar is entirely true. You have to dig the filling out with a teaspoon. Just the very middle bit, or it would fall apart. It was done on first attempt. Try it and see.

[littleballerina]

dh- left him.
dp- nothing, just talked, cried, talked, made up.

am enjoying thread though

[PipkinsPal]

Kansas - ice, now I never thought of that
