Can I do mean things to my husband?

[KitchenWitch]

About a week ago, he unilaterally decided to turn the A/C off. Mind you, it has been getting up to 95° every day. And we have a clay tile roof, so it has been absolutely sweltering in the house. I thought it was because the A/C was broken. So I went and looked at the thermostat, and the damned A/C was off.

I am so pissed. I have not been able to sleep at night because it is so hot in our house. I told him that turning off the A/C was not a decision he could make unilaterally anymore.

1. That is a hanging offense around my house...

touch the thermostat without negotiating a mutually agreeable temp. first and die!

[KitchenWitch]

4. I am thinking bamboo shoots and toenails.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear KitchenWitch!

Oh, HELL YES!

How could he?

Argggggggghhhhhhhhhhh :grr: :grr:



BTW, just got off the phone with R...he says hi!

[KitchenWitch]

3. I had to explain to him that it takes more energy to COOL the house when it is hot

than it does to actually keep it static when it is already cool.

x(

Hi back to R.

[Lil Missy]

5. Yes. That is grounds for cruel and heinous torture.

[KitchenWitch]

6. I thought so. Should I get the water board?

[mcctatas]

7. Better idea...

tie him up and make him watch a 24 hour loop of the Palin/Couric interview;)

[Lil Missy]

8. At least!!!

:o

10. that is FANTASTIC!

:evilgrin:

[Critters2]

23. Ain't it though?!

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

24. Bookmarked!

:evilgrin:

I love the sound effects.

[lady raven]

11. I would hurt my husband if he did that

I'd give him a hangnail or something.

[KitchenWitch]

12. For real.

:banghead::banghead:

[Connonym]

13. Isn't that what husbands are for?

One of the things I hate most about not being the sole decider in my house is that I don't get to control the thermostat and I have the only bedroom that doesn't have a cross breeze. I think I wake up in the morning weighing about 5 lb less than when I go to sleep. The ultimate irony is that my room faces west so in the winter I get the brunt of the cold wind and feel like I'm sleeping in a meat locker.

[KitchenWitch]

14. Must be

there is no other explanation.

He is at work in air conditioning all day, and he expects me to be home and OK without it?

:banghead:

[Robeson]

15. Give him the Bobbitt treatment....

...that will teach him about messing with the AC unit...}(

[KitchenWitch]

16. But that would take away any future fun!

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

17. Not the wisest man, he.

Pissing off the wife, especially around bedtime...not terribly bright.

So, yes (to answer your question).

[KitchenWitch]

18. ...

:thumbsup:

[reyd reid reed]

19. He ought to be glad you're only considering mean things...

you have every right to consider evil things for that one. And let him stew in the possibilities for a night or two.

On the couch.

[KitchenWitch]

20. You, r cubed, are a woman after my own heart!

:applause:

[patomime]

21. ...yes...

you can do mean things to your husband. No A/C means war!

No unilateral decisions! Ever.

[KitchenWitch]

22. ...

:applause:

[VenusRising]

25. So, here's what you do.

Put a heating pad under the sheets on his side of the bed. Arbitrarily turn it up and down and see how he likes it. I bet he gets hot and turns the AC back on. :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

26. As a guy who gets hot flashes

I approve of any mean thing you can think of to teach this bozo a lesson. :wow:

Is his brain connected?

I'd be stapling him to the wall and playing darts right now. x(

[KitchenWitch]

32. He is lucky I have not had to take my pain meds this week.

Because the Vikes make me hotter than I usually am.

[DarkTirade]

27. Death is the only option.

Preferably something ironic. Like this.



If he likes it hot... :evilgrin:

[Nikia]

28. While that was mean of him, in the future speak up

If I am too hot or cold to an extent that it makes me uncomfortable consistantly, I complain to my husband about it. Then I say that perhaps we should turn on the air conditioner or heater (depending on the sitution) or adjust the thermostat. We have a geriatric dog who is more heat sensitive than I am so sometimes I reference the dog in why we need to turn on the air conditioning.

[KitchenWitch]

31. I would actually prefer to be a passive aggressive bitch about it.

:eyes:

Of course I spoke up. I also turned the A/C back on. I had no idea that he had turned it off. The fact that I had no idea he turned it off was the point of what I was upset about. Yes, I prefer to be direct in communication, and it is frustrating to be not apprised of the thermostat situation.

If you did not like this thread, why the hell did you bother posting in it.

[mcctatas]

34. "I would actually prefer to be a passive aggressive bitch about it."

:rofl:

Only because sometimes (after 14 years of marriage) I actually do prefer to be a passive aggressive bitch, it takes so much less effort;)

[KitchenWitch]

36. 8 years of marriage here.

I so feel ya!

:rofl:

[SOteric]

29. Unilaterally opt

to feed him a steady diet of horse laxatives until he see's the benefit of spousal communications in decisionmaking.

[NV Whino]

30. Of course you can...

whether you may or not is another question.

[Jamastiene]

33. First, tell him your approval rating of him is down to 19% now.

Next, pay him back when he LEAST expects it. That's the BEST way to get revenge. :evilgrin:

If you need to compare notes for the best pranks to pay him back, drop me a PM and I'll help. I'll try not to be too incredibly vindictive. I'll hold back in my suggestions just enough so you can get your point across without out and out torturing him, unless you want to go that route. :evilgrin:

And don't forget, if he divorces you, I'd be moooore than happy to worship at your feet until you take pity on me. :hug: :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

35. I have a few vindictive acts up my sleeve.

:rofl:

:loveya: :hug:

[csziggy]

37. One idea I read somewhere else

The wife would put the batteries in the remote control backwards.

Another idea involved creative use of Super Glue but that ended up with an embarrassing trip to the Emergency Room and costs lots of money.

[KitchenWitch]

38. *scribble scribble*

Added to the list!

:D

39. re: your question

"Can I do mean things to my husband?"
Isn't that what they're for?:shrug:

[mcctatas]

40. ...

OMFG!!!!

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

42. !

[realisticphish]

41. my roommates do that all the time

except they come into my room and shut of my window air conditioner. Yes, I know we split the electric bill, but I don't prowl around in their rooms looking for running electronic devices

[Tabasco_Dave]

43. Eat beans and hardboiled eggs before you go to bed

Keep eating them every night until he changes his mind. :evilgrin:
