DH Errand Fail

[8675309]

So I specifically told DH to go out and get orange light bulbs for the house for our party. I needed 15 of them. He goes to Home Depot and comes back with Red light bulbs. I wanted horror house, not whore house!! He claims the orange bulbs were double the cost. Do I take them back or just let it go? I also don't want to spend $100 on light bulbs either...

I think Dollar stores around here carry them at Halloween time.

Take them back and try to find cheaper ones. Red is not the same.

[adhdfashion]

Dollar Store, they usually have black light bulbs to.

Ok I'll take them back. He's now pissed at me. He said Red=Bloody. Um ya NO it doesn't.

[Deleted]

This is even funnier because now your husband is mad.

[mommylikestattoos]

Eh, I can see where he was trying to go with that choice. But team take them back, I'm sure there are other options available.

I'm too stuck on red=whore to get behind red=bloody even for Halloween. I would be worried that people driving by would think I was an idiot and didn't know that or that I was doing a haunted whore house for Halloween. Either way, more whore thoughts than I'd want.

Um, get clear lights and a couple of orange sharpies.  Minimal cost.

He really doesn't get the red light correlation with a whore house. I had to sing Roxanne to him. I mean, really!? He went to high school in the 80's for Gods sake.

Tell him it's called a "red-light district" for a reason.

Another vote for Dollar Store.

You may want to check one of the craft stores, too. I got a combo pack of 2 purple and 2 orange bulbs at Michaels last year.

I wish I was kidding. I'm off to 99cent stores right now. There are 2 near me. Crossing my fingers! Thanks everyone for confirming my thoughts on our whore house.
