Stupid Things My Husband Has Done

[CohenCottage]

I was going to just make this a vent, but then I thought y'all might have good ones to add to the list.

Here is the big one from today:

I asked my husband to wash our sheets, and he decided it was a good idea to wash our DOWN COMFORTER on hot. Still have no idea what possessed him to do that or why he didn't think or read the care instructions first. He had the rage of a pregnant lady unleashed on him.

I feel your pain:eek: My hubs does all our laundry, and I fold it and put it away. But there is one thing he has been forbidden to touch. My jeans;) He found this out the hard way. I was not pregnant when I unleased my rage on him, but a menopausal woman is just as bad. Not only did he wash them, but he stated "Well why didn't you buy them the right size to begin with?". When he got out of intensive care, he apologized.

CC.....:( I guess you cannot save a wet duck in winter?? Is it a gonner?

[CohenCottage]

No, it's not a goner (i think), but it will take 12 hours to dry. I emailed Pacific Coast to see if the extra hot wash would mess it up too badly.

I wash mine all the time, put it in a dryer with tennis balls or clean shoes and it should be find. The hot water could have killed any cooties in it. Looking at the sunny side of the situation. :)

Hubby washed Ashley's and my clothes one day with a new red shirt.......GRR:mad: I told him after that ....We will do our own laundry.Don't touch ours.

This morning.....he opened the fridge in the garage and the whole plate of leftover turkey from yesterday fell on the floor. And HE was the one who put it out there......Stupid men. Hope his first day at work goes better. ;)

Oh, boy...poor Dave. Maybe he was nervous - I have "clumsy fingers" when I'm jittery about something, so I can relate. Of course, Marie, I can understand your aggravation when you had plans for that turkey! :rolleyes:

Anyway, I hope his first day is a good one!

[vintage girl]

I bet he was nervous! I never worry when my hubs does something like that, because either he puts the 5 second rule into affect or the dogs eat it. So it gets eaten up one way or another:D I once washed all of my ex's clothes with a bright red sweartshirt. Oh my gosh he looked really funny in his "pink" clothes;) :D Good luck on his first day. Looking forward to hearing how it went.

[chyna]

the 5 second rule doesn't much apply at my house either, the dogs can sense food falling towards the floor within seconds.:p

[mac78]

Speaking of dogs and food, ours knows the "sound" of the cupboards opening, the fridge opening, etc. They are so funny.

Isn't that amazing? You should see me trying to quietly open a package of cat treats (because I have to hide my oldest cat's meds in the treats). Suddenly, instead of just him standing in front of me, there are two other whisker faces there looking at me, too! They come from UPSTAIRS, somehow hearing the package opening. :rolleyes:

[vintage girl]

Ha Ha!!! Our house is the same, except I have 5 chiwi's all dancing around whenever we even go near the kitchen. And of course Fat Dog likes to climb in the bottom cupboards. When we took off the doors and put up cafe curtains, she was in heaven:D Our most polite dog is the chow. She sits so patiently, while the rats on legs bark, jump and have a cow. It might have something to do with the fact that I always give her the biggest treat, because she is the bestest girl on earth;):)

[mac78]

Paradise............a deserted carribean island, warm waters, a chef and MY DOGS. They snuggle, lick you when you are having a bad day, don't talk back, ask for nothing out of life but food and water and a daily snuggle. :p

[vintage girl]

Hey Marie, your idea of paradise is perfect!!! :D

When you said "chiwi's dancing" I pictured them wearing tutus! :)

As for "Fat Dog", I'm sure she truly thinks you put the curtains on just for her...(or maybe you DID?) ;)

[mac78]

And the pitter patter of paws on the laminate floors in the kitchen....gotta love the sound.:p

[Gigi]

I'm laughing at all the "paw" talking... We have three rescues and one of them seems to dance on the wood floors---click, click, click... At Christmas I was tempted to put bells on his feet and video it :D

I bet it would have been a hit on YouTube! :D

ChapterTwo- I seriously thought about it... :D :eek:

Awwwh I love this thread........
I have been missing because PaPa is really really sick AND I went to the hospital to stay over night with him and caught something.... really I caught something horrible. I have been SO sick for a week and STILL feel horrible.
Enough of that what I wanted to say is that my babies have sat vigil by my bed. I cough and cough and cough and their faces get longer and longer and they hang their little heads. Miss Runt is 13 and she stays right with me. Little Chevy( as in Chase Maryland) has been guarding my room. He barks at anything he hears outside. Good boy Chev.

Now for the damn cat....he is totally aggravated by my illness. He was on my bed and when the coughing got worse he fled with the sliding crazy cat run. He kinda hurt my feelings.
Anyway I tried to work in the salon on Friday( bad idea :() and I guess he was excited to get back into the salon and thinking things were getting back to normal. While I had 3 customers in the salon and was hacking coughing AND sweating he brought me a bird into the salon and laid it on the rug by the door in front of my customers.:eek: Sick as crap I tried to sweep it into the dust pan and it flew into the mirror in front of my customer having her hair done and proceeded to die right there on the vanity.
I do not understand cats!!!! He got HIS feelings hurt and didn't come inside and sleep on the bed with me last night. Bone head cat...he reminds me of my x-husband.:rolleyes:

[chyna]

Mem
That pretty much describes a cat to a tee. :D

I could live without a cat but must have a dog. Preferrably a sweet little crestie to curl up with and wait on hand and foot. LOL I came home sick Thursday and my dog Chyna kept standing at the baby gate wanting to come sleep with me. I foolishly thought she wanted to curl up with me but nope. She just wanted to lay on the bed and since a human must be in the room....:rolleyes:

Memmy - your cat paid you the highest of compliments - he brought you a present. Of course his feelings were hurt - he couldn't understand why you weren't thrilled with his gift. Poor cat - you owe him a kitty treat.:(

[RoseMary]

At least it was a bird, Mem~not a rat. Ours especially love to leave their 'presents' right where you step as you go out the door.

I had a cat bring a live bird in the house once. It got away from the cat and the dachshund dog got it~which led to a wild chase until dog, cat, and bird were safely put out the door.

[memmey]

Ok Breezy.....He was sleeeping on the bed in my guest room/his room and I sat with him and talked and thanked him :rolleyes:.
Every man who has his hair cut in the salon wants that cat. They call him a "man "cat. I made the mistake of teasing him by wiggling my fingers to play with him and he was not playing!!! If he swats he is doing it for real.
I feed him very well and he now uses the dog door to come and go....when he pleases. No more litter box. Some one threw him out here and now he has a very good home BUT I have always been a dog person and I am having to learn to speak "cat".
I asked him the other day....when did you and I get married? I don't remember marrying you.

[Breezy]

Great story RoseMary! I like dogs but I love cats and if a person is fortunate enough to have a cat 'own them' then it's worth all the dogs in the world - to me anyway. Can't tell I'm a softie toward cats can ya?;) ps - I grew up with cats, birds and dogs but cats have an independent nature which in turn gives them an aura of mystery plus they can be such snobs at times which I find very entertaining.
