AIBU coats on chair-backs

Every item of furniture I have is adorned by one of dh items of clothing

Dh does This, so annoying

Honestly you need some real problems in your life!
(No, I don't really wish anything bad on you) - but seriously .... lighten up and enjoy your visitors

I remember years ago a visitor put her fur coat on the spare bed and the cat came in and regurgitated a baby rabbit on it! Awful mess!

I have a photograph taken many years ago on Hogmanay of over a dozen pairs of Doc Martens - all colours - heaped in my vestibule, plus a pile of jackets. Sixteen year old DD had been out for the evening with friends, to celebrate New Year. By the time they reached our house about 1.30, the group had swelled in number. I can remember rushing about getting out more 'supplies'. They were all in good spirits (no obvious drunkenness) and all well behaved. Did I line up the boots and hang up the jackets? No way. I was delighted to see them. Happy days!

My DH was always hanging coats and cardigans on the kitchen chairs or over the back of the sofa. Enter one little puppy and then a jacket and cardigan with the zips chewed and now all his clothes are put away.

I have to admit we are lucky we have hangers on a stand as you come inside the door, everyone takes their things off and hangs them up, without anyone saying anything. Likewise in this country, everyone takes their shoes off inside the front door, it may look like a shoe shop at times when there are a lot of visitors, but everyones house is the same here.No complaints!

If I put them away they'll probably jump in the car and go home without them. Leaving them on the hall radiator reminds them to put them on before they go home.

We always hang our coats away as do the family so that is fine BUT when the DGC come to stay they do not use the chests of drawers, wardrobes etc but everything lives in heaps on the floor. We make a point of keeping our eyes averted as all is tidy when they leave!

It doesn't bother me at all. Our coats end up on the bannister, or over the kitchen chair. As we're in and out of the house all day we pick up our coats from what is a convenient place.

But surely they take their coats away with them, so it’s back to neat and tidy when they leave? Not something that bothers me.

Dgc's ! Damn tablet!

Is it only me who on reading the post from NanaNancy thought for a moment that she was hanging up her small doc's on the rack?

Must admit, that would be a good way to control the little devils!

Hooks in the hall and newel post are fine. Chez DD we usually end up hanging them over the dining chairs because the hooks in the hall are crammed with DD's, DSIL's, and DGDs' clothes.

And unless their shoes are plastered in mud or worse, we greatly prefer our visitors to keep them on.

You are not alone in posting a subject in what is deemed to be the wrong catagory, they take it very seriously you know?

GrandtanteJE65, we all have our little quirks & idiosyncrasies, so I don’t think you are being unreasonable, but you are being ignored, which is probably because you are a nice person who doesn’t want to make a fuss,so you put up with it & your family & friends don’t realise quite how much it irritates you, so I guess you either have to continue as you are & suffer in silence or collect the coats up & hang them yourself or stand at the door & take them when they come in.Please try to ignore the comments of the Pedantic on here , who never misses a chance to belittle or put someone down .

Putting a visitor's coat on the bed would be an invitation for our cat to make himself very comfortable - and leave a lot of fur!

Good grief, is this a serious question? If so YABU

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest, it is temporary. However if they wore outdoor shoes inside I would be very annoyed.

Visitors with coats. Now what are they.

I hate it too. My husband does it all the time...so irritating.

When people arrive I take their coats and put them where I want. I'm just glad to have visitors so really wouldn't mind where they put their things.

That’s annoys me too and so does it when people get up from the dinner table and don’t push their chairs back in grrrrrr

I just think that it is nice to have visitors.

Don’t get me started on people who come into my house and don’t take off their shoes! The reason there’s a jumble of shoes in my hall is because the family always take their shoes off as do close friends.

I wouldn’t ask acquaintances or casual visitors to do so, though many do, but I will certainly be busy with the disinfectant and floor mop after these leave.
