Tape on the bedroom door

WTF? I've just found sellotape at the bottom of the bedroom door, I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I'm sat on the bed.

It was stuck on the door itself but long enough to reach the door frame if it was taped from the outside. Wtf?

DH and I together 18yrs no red flags, not really. He has recently started sleeping in the spare room since he caught Covid and decided to stay there. He's been enjoying late nights watching box sets while I sleep.

Why would anyone put tape over the bottom of the bedroom door?

What does not really mean?

The only “reason” to tape a door would surely be so that you knew if it had been opened. But unless he thinks you’re sneaking out and back in in the middle of the night I can’t see why he’d see the need to check this?

But if it's visible from inside the room then presumably it was put on by someone inside the room, whi then couldn't leave without disturbing it. Sounds to me like somethng perfectly innocent has been caught on the door, maybe something with static.

I found a CBeebies sticker stuck to our hallway floor this morning, wondering now if I should assume it’s suspicious.

I had a green £3.99 sticker stuck to my trousers today. I think my husband is trying to sell me, because I have no idea where it came from.

Has he been very Covid anxious and trying to seal you in so if he coughed in corridor he won't infect you??!!

Mamanyt · 21/11/2021 00:05

Well, I have to admit, my first thought would be, "Look what the cat's tracked now," and not "I wonder why he's taping the bottom of the door?" I can think of any of about 100 reasons tape could end up there, and someone trying to trap me about a room that I'm in and out of 15 times a day is right at the bottom of the list. Ask him.

Probably Covid related. X

PriamFarrl · 21/11/2021 00:23

It’s off a shoe. Or a sellotape obsessed ghost.

I blame Brexit

I think you've cracked the case.
MajesticWhine · 21/11/2021 00:38

He's watching porn and sellotaped you in so that he can hear if you are opening the door and are going to catch him out. So he hears the ripping sellotape noise and quickly switches to a "box set". That's my best guess. It still makes no sense though.

Frannibananni · 21/11/2021 00:38

Do you have young kids watching spy movies? This is the sort of crap we used to do playing spy kids.

BringOnTheOtherWorlders · 21/11/2021 00:38

Keep out Covid-cooties.

bonfireheart · 21/11/2021 00:39

Reminds me of the thread where DH said something in his sleep and the lady thought he was having an affair with an american whilst kicking teddy bears.

Please come back OP.

This responses on here have made me chuckle, nothing like Mumsnet humour!

Threadworms, Brexit, £3.99 sticker GrinGrinGrin

RobertaFirmino · 21/11/2021 01:13

Oh my god, SELLOTAPE???? I'd advise you to LTB immediately, he is clearly having an affair. With a man. And a goat.

Ok so the tape was on the outside of the bedroom door and right at the bottom. I saw it as the door was partially open. I've only ever heard of putting tape on a door like that to see if someone has been in the room or not. I'm proper baffled”

What is it with people on this forum? Do they not communicate with their partners?

Just bloody ask him 🤯

Yes, because he's going to say 'oh yes dear, I was worried you were cheating on me so I put the tape on the door so I could see if you went out at night' now us he?

🙄🙄

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 21/11/2021 01:21

I don’t really understand. Why would he need sellotape to know if you’ve left your bedroom? He’s in the house! He’ll hear you leaving the room! And why would he want to know if you leave the bedroom? Confused are you not supposed to?

5zeds · 21/11/2021 01:25

I think he told the kids not to go into your room and wanted to see if they did what he said. He’s a weirdo and definitely had a spy book as a child. Create some clues for him to discover.

5zeds · 21/11/2021 01:27

I suggest starting with writing on the mirror that can only be seen when it steams up. What about a cryptic “SELLOTAPE?” Grin

RantyAunty · 21/11/2021 01:34

I've truly enjoyed this thread! GrinGrin
OP please come back and update.

My vote is on the wanking succubus with threadworms leaving it there.

Yuledo · 21/11/2021 01:36

It’s the human equivalent to a spiders web. Your DH wants to trap you and eat you op. Run for the hills…
