He doesn't need your tools, he has his own. Locker up.THE STORY OF TATERHOLE HUBBY (or, why I may end up in jail)
Quick rundown. DH and I met, both coming off BAD breakups. We basically walked into a relationship with nothing to either or our names. And I mean, like, maybe 1/10th of what 2 people in their late 20s/early 30s should have.
Well, one of the first gifts I ever gave him was a ratchet set and a HUGE tool box. Over the years I have built that thing up to where it is OVER full. I bet there is even 8 of the same wrenches somewhere!
My problem. NO TOOLS can ever be found because DH NEVER puts his tools back. I mean EVER! So, we probably have 8 of the same wrench simply because the others are *missing*. The other day, PIC and I went outside on the ONE nice day to rip some boards (I have about 5 projects dancing in my head currently). It took us AN HOUR to find 3 simple tools.... a measuring tape, a speed square and a tatering PENCIL. No joke.
NOW, here's the rub. DH says he KNOWS where everything is.... so *I* don't need to worry about where he puts *HIS* tools. His *losing* of his most BASIC of tools pushed me into buying myself a small, indoor tool kit (hammer, nails, measuring tape, basic stuff)... which he borrows because he can't find HIS OWN CHIT!!!!!
He forced my hand a few nights ago when he couldn't find his dremel. A dremel that has literally been plugged in and charging in our kitchen for at least the last year. And now, the dremel is missing and I know I have never used it.
Because of this, I have literally bought my own BIG tool box. I also bought a couple locks and DO plan on locking it up. Y'all think I'm being childish or does the actions of the DH warrant such a huge leap?! I just think, if I asked ANYONE to borrow a screw driver, they wouldn't direct me to their detached garage, sitting on top of an old refrigerator. I assume it's gonna be in their tool box!
So, what say you guys?![]()
