Ha ha ha ha ha my boyfriend has just been brushing his teeth and one of the dogs was staring at him for some reason. So OH said why is he staring? I said maybe he wants to know why your using his toothbrush? WELL... He has just gone off on one. Stormed out. Ha ha ha ha like i'd really use his toothbrush on oliver? I wouldn't want the dog to catch anything would i?? Anyway off to bed with the doors double locked.

ok... sounds like rather an over reaction on his part if thats all, i assume you have told him you were joking?

Pleeeease don't tell him that you were joking!  I am cracked up here laughing!

Nice one!  :-)

Years ago my sister had visited and was cuddling my Toy Poodle Teddy.  Her new fiance came to pick her up, and I could see him snuggling and nuzzling her ear.  When she said "Teddy just licked me there", he was absolutely livid.  I wet myself laughing.

lol lol girl after my own heart love it cracking joke lol some men got no sense of humor

Brilliant!!  must try that one :)

Well I thought it was hilarious.  Hmmm, wonder how he would have reacted if you told him the truth, that you'd been cleaning the toilet bowl with it ;-)

LOL!!! Classic!!!

Hahaha, that really did make me LOL :-)

A little while ago i got a new toothbrush and was stood looking at all the different varities on offer. I said to my (wonderful!) boyfriend i think i might go for a softer bristle brush, he replied 'oh no, dont do that, your hard bristled brush is much better for getting under the rim when im using it to clean the toilet' !!!! The lady beside us in tescos was cracking up.

I said maybe he wants to know why your using his toothbrush?

Very good quip and very funny, it would make me laugh. However............

WELL... He has just gone off on one. Stormed out. Ha ha ha ha like i'd really use his toothbrush on oliver? I wouldn't want the dog to catch anything would i??  

Did you smile or laugh after you said it? He's stormed out upset and your happy about it? I would be horrified if my hubby stormed out on me I wouldn't let it get that far. It's gone from being a clever and funny ad lib to being taken as serious and nothing was done to say it was a joke, things aren't funny if both parties aren't laughing. (Partner guidance coming in) you two need a serious sit down, whether your just no longer getting along so it was taken seriously, or your other half has a serious lack of humour (gosh I couldn't live with that!) I don't know, but something 'aint right here!'

Hope that you sort it out.

> I wouldn't let it get that far.

He was obviously not seeing the funny side and overreacted.  just a man being a man (some do react in this way) and he will be back with his tail between his legs realisng how silly he's been. Dont think they are in need for counselling just yet :-)

just a man being a man

Shock, horror! :-D  You can't say that!  Men have just as good a sense of humour as women, usually better (particularly on the practicle joke side - long suffering wife here :-D ) No, sorry any man who did not think that a very funny little quip of mahonc's is not a typcial man IMO. :-)

he did indeed come back with his tail inbewen his legs and i got a nice cup of tea in bed. i think its as i put the dogs welfare first before both him and me and he was stressed and just overreacted.

oliver has his own toothbrush and wouldnt want to share anyway....  :)

Sooo funny! 

I'm afraid that I thought of an email that I was sent recently, when a wife told a friend that when she was angry with hier husband, she cleaned the toilet and she always felt better!   Why, the friend asked?   Because, the wife said, I clean it with my husband's toothbrush!!!!!  (now where is that goggle-eyed icon????)

lol i just read your post to my OH he didnt find it funny why are some men so misrable lol
for that i may stand over him as he brushes his teeth tonight with a  sly grin on my face , lol

Speaking of cleaning toilets with toothbrushes....

I heard a story of a couple who's house got broken into,but before taking their video camera the burglars removed the tape inside.A month or so later they watched the video,which were home movies,only for the image to be interrupted by three bare bums with three toothbrushes,very obviously belonging to the owners of the house, shoved up them,brush side first

Disgusting!!

> he did indeed come back with his tail inbewen his legs and i got a nice cup of tea in bed. i think its as i put the dogs welfare first before both him and me and he was stressed and just overreacted.

as i suspected. glad its ok now, i dont blame oliver for not wanting to share a toothbrush lol :-)

that is all well and good but at some stage the wife has to kiss the husband knowing what he's brushed his teeth with :-(  no thank you :-)  much better ways of revenge out there :-) :-) :-)

>much better ways of revenge out there   

I always think that taking revenge is rather petty and childish. If it's someone you love then you don't want to use such a soul-damaging act, and if it's someone you don't care about then what they've done doesn't matter. Surely the adult way is to tell someone that you're unhappy at something they've done and talk about it?

not half as much fun though..revenge is sweet...

If you say so. I think it's hurtful for both parties. Life's too short for wallowing in negativity.

In the op's case i meant sweet revenge not the other kind, but, I found 'other' revenge the best way to stop the wallowing and negativitity. When someone you care about hurts you in a big way then there is nothing more satisfying than knowing you've got your own back.

>there is nothing more satisfying than knowing you've got your own back.

As long as you're absolutely certain you're not lowering yourself to their scummy level.

I've found that the best thing is to ignore them. Anyone horrible isn't my problem.

Freds mum, one of my friends urinated in her ex's mouthwash when they were still sharing a house but had split up.  He was a total swine and had done bad things beyond belief so it seemed a fitting tribute to the barsteward!

>one of my friends urinated in her ex's mouthwash when they were still sharing a house but had split up.

How disgusting. I'm amazed she admitted to doing such a vile thing. Was she drunk?

>> How disgusting. I'm amazed she admitted to doing such a vile thing. Was she drunk?

no extremely angry that he had slept with her best friend while she was pregnant - an equally vile thing to do don't you think? :)

I have a bit of a fear of going in restaurants and something being wrong with the food.It's pretty common knowledge about that hideous practice of (i can barely bring myself to say it)-spitting in the food.Ugh.I think I'd go on the rampage if I found out that someone had done that to me or one of mine.

>When someone you care about hurts you in a big way then there is nothing more satisfying than knowing you've got your own back.

For others, it is satisfying standing their ground, not lowering themselves to that person's level and or giving them any reason to feel 'justified' because we took revenge and therefore any guilt/shame they may feel will be nullified.  I always thing of revenge as a tit for tat which ends up spiralling out of control. 

There is a lot to be said for ignoring folks appalling behaviour, and not encouraging it by playing their game and feeling good about ourselves because we are better than that.  Two wrongs never make a right.

Poppity Ive worked part time in restaurants and bars all my life for a bit of extra cash. From little back st pubs to the most amazing restaurants. And not one place has done anything to a customers food. The chef's and waiting on staff are busy arguing between themselves. Seriously there is a huge animosity between chefs as they are so rude and waiting on staff. It prob has happened but in
15 yrs Ive never seen it ever.

>extremely angry that he had slept with her best friend while she was pregnant

As bad as getting someone else pregnant whilst swearing love for you. Beneath contempt.

>an equally vile thing to do don't you think?

Shameful but not coldly, calculatingly vile.

>Two wrongs never make a right.

Spot on.

> 15 yrs Ive never seen it ever

It's a horrible thought though isn't it?I,ve put up with some rubbish food over the years so as not to risk the dreaded come back.

Why not just leave the restaurant and go and eat somewhere else?

> Why not just leave the restaurant and go and eat somewhere else?

Not always easy when you're with other people!

No, but if it's bad enough to warrant a complaint it can be done.

Or when the main was good and you're on a dessert that is not good!

Oh yes, that's happened to me too! Really annoying, isn't it? The cream was sour on the dessert, so I told the waiter to take it back. I didn't order another dessert instead, and we didn't pay for it.

Been therre, which is why my son has a half sister only 6 weeks younger than himself.

I decided that what he did was so utterly contemptible that I wanted nothing more to do with him - ever. He wasn't worth wasting a single moment's thought over, let alone spend a moment of the rest of my life planning some sort of revenge. He wasn't worth it.

> I wanted nothing more to do with him - ever. He wasn't worth wasting a single moment's thought over, let alone spend a moment of the rest of my life planning some sort of revenge. He wasn't worth it.

Thats what i thought too. Revenge is something i've sought on only 2 occasions and the 2nd one wasnt really anything major. The first one happened spur of the moment and i seized the opportunity and made myself feel better. If i hadnt done what i'd done i'd have sat around wallowing but as it happened i did what i did and felt a whole lot better afterwards. I didnt waste time thinking about him or planning revenge, i spotted a chance and took it bringing an end to the whole splittnig up & grieving process a lot quicker :-)

Oh dear, I had a son like that if you took a peanut out of his bag he would put the lot in the rubbish!!!!
Poor boy you go buy him an electric one and say "the dogs dont like those they make their teeth itch" or something!
