Bingo thread for anyone who wants to guess DH's reply to this text I just sent ...

[LindorDoubleChoc]

DH ironed a shirt at about midday and then went to work. He left the iron on the side in the kitchen.

I just sent him this text "Just found the iron still on and plugged in!".

What do you reckon he'll reply?

10 out of 10 points for anyone who guesses "oh no! I'm really sorry" or similar.

Perhaps he said; ‘of course it’s plugged in if it’s still on’

Guess

"It wasn't me"

"You left the oven on last week"
or
"So?"

👍

Is my guess.

Guess

"I left it on, so that you could cook some bacon on it" (Travelodge style)

He will either say Who left that on? or How long did you leave it on for? Or Everything's OK though? Or Oops

He had other pressing things on his mind at the time

Maybe something along the lines of " well whilst it's still warm, there's a big pile of my shirts still need doing"

If he says K. Then change the locks and boot him out 😂

"What, you've only just realised? How come you didn't notice it sooner?!"

Depending on your iron's wattage, he's just burned through about £4 for nowt.

I'd guess "Thought you would want it to do the rest of my shirts" or "You know I'm not good at ironing"

I remember turning it off, maybe you/the cat knocked the switch?

Loving some of these replies! Quite brilliant. But for some reason it was the stark simplicity of Ellmau's "it's on standby" that really made me laugh.

@AllRoadsLeadHome - I see you are unfamiliar with the concept of a light hearted thread. Silly me, I suppose I should have made it blazingly obvious in my OP.

The actual reply was disappointingly so-so "Bloody hell, from this morning? Oops" - although note how he was (perhaps in desperation) making absolutely sure that it couldn't have been me who used it and left it on after him.

To be fair, I'm not sure you are ' familiar with the concept of a light heart thread' cos it didn't seem light hearted. It sounded like u were fucked off and caught in fairly miserable relationship where you point out each other's mistakes?

My DH would have said something like - Would it kill you to just turn the iron off? You didn’t need to text me about it, you’re such a bully and will use any reason to have a go at me.

Is he wanting a well done for at least knowing how to put it on?

Is that the reply from him that you wanted OP? If not, what reply did you want?

I've never done anything as high stakes as leaving the iron on, but my DH will annoyingly text me to say that the bathroom window is still ajar, or that a light was left on in a bedroom. It's so obviously a one-off mistake and not something that happens regularly, I wonder why he has to bother scolding me over text. It fucks me off.

If I come home and I notice the hallway light is still on, I assume he simply forgot to turn it off and go about the rest of my day. I don't feel like I need to text him. What could he possibly say at that point anyway?

Haha I like the response. I've replied similarly when I've accidentally left the straighteners on. I've got some that automatically turn off after a while now. 😄
