I give up!

I got home to another torrent of abuse last night, from someone who had been in the pub for most of the day, topping up from the night before.  “I’m stressed, I had to lay off people today because The Client won’t pay” and then the best of all his reasons for being in the pub “I’ve got 2 bathrooms to do, one shower room and the ladies toilets in the pub as well as I’ve got to see Tom about a job at his house”.

I object to being called “ficko” and “fuckin’ ficko” and find it very difficult to ignore and continue doing what I am doing. 

Him: “What are we having for dinner, ficko?”

Me: “Don’t know”

Him: “Well let’s get a take-away then ficko”

Me: “I don’t want one, I think I’ll cook what we were going to have last night, everything is prepared”

Him: “I don’t want that, I won’t eat it, I’ll have a sandwich”

Me: “Suit yourself”

Him: “So what are you having?”

I ignored him ..

Him: “oi fuckin’ ficko” .. again and again and again until I gave in and answered just to shut him up.

And he wonders why I get so angry???

Anyway I have a dictaphone in my bag fully charged with a brand new tape .. I’ll be using it next time .. to playw him the evidence when he’s sober!

There’s more, but that little lot wore me out!

    Have you considered learning a martial art?

    Actually when I am beastly (although never to this extent) The Hildy gives me The Look and speaks in a quiet and extremely scary voice. Much more effective that shouting or swearing. I makes me recall that I sleep naked and we have knives in the house.

    “IT” makes me recall not “I”.

    Mate, he sounds unbearable. This is abuse! How are the plans looking for getting rid of him? x
