Why do I get screamed at when SD17, MIL,and GBM act the fool??

backstory- last week DH told me that Aunt J called and said that SD cell phone has not been working for a few weeks. I guess they ARE coming home for a couple of days this week and she wondered if DH could get SD a new phone. DH figured since both of our phones are eligible for upgrades that one of us could get a new phone and give SD our old one. He decided that someone could be me because he wants to give his phone to BS5 (just for games and camera and silly stuff)and I know how this is going to play out. I have a Galaxy S4, DH has the Iphone 3 or 4. My phone is a little over 2 years old and DH has had his for 3 years. Both are in perfect condition, which is why neither of us has bothered upgrading because I really want the S6 and DH wants the Iphone 6 and we were just waiting for then to come down in price. I told DH that if I go out and buy on a new phone that SD better be ok with having my S4. This is how I predict this whole thing will go down. SD will tell DH that my S4 will be fine (simply to appease him and get a phone for the moment) but my phone WON'T be fine for the princess and she'll either conveniently break it or she'll get GBM to buy her a new phone, then she'll sell my phone thus getting new phone PLUS cash. All the while, I had to go out and blow $200.00 on a new phone that I didn't even need or want!

So, BS5 and I were outside yesterday the majority of the morning playing in the pool. We come inside around 12:30 to get something to eat and I can hear DH on the phone, voiced raised talking about SD17. (eye roll) great another day in fucking paradise. So BS5 and I go about our business as I have learned to just stay away when he gets that worked up over shit... nope I don't even ask, don't want to know.

So I go upstairs to change my clothes because I decided I'd take BS5 for bike ride, park, ice cream down in town. DH is apparently talking to Aunt J. and about the time I come upstairs, Aunt J tells him how GBM was over at MILs the other day because MIL had picked some corn and asked her if she wanted some. DH flipped shit, as this is a sore subject for ALL of us... the fact that MIL finds the need to be buddy buddy with horrible people who have done nothing by make DH life hell. So DH tells Aunt J. he has to go, that this shit is just pissing him off, he doesn't get why MIL acts the fool etc. So again, I don't ask. I just go about my business. So DH comes in the bathroom where I am doing my hair and asks where BS5 and I are going, I tell him. He says well I guess we're going to have to get SD a phone.. Aunt J said she had it working for a bit after they deleted 5000 emails and closed the 42 apps that were running, but now it's not working again. Well I thought DH meant go get one right then... since he JUST asked me where BS5 and I were going. So I said, "So I have to make a special trip to Verizon?"

Holy fuck! DH starts going off on ME?!! "No you don't need to make a special trip, stop being a Mary Martyr, we can just go sometime this week, crab crab, bitch, bitch!" Whatever DH. I haven't spoken to him since then. I am so sick to fucking death of OTHER people acting the fool and then BS5 and I get to be the punching bags. Cause, yeah, DH barely said two words to BS5 last night or this morning. I called my mom at the last minute before work to see if she wanted to hang with BS5 today because I wasn't about to leave him with Crabby McFuckfacerson all day.

I did say something along the lines of "Gee thank you very much GBM, SD17, MIL... as usual everyone ELSE acts the fool.. I didn't do anything and I'm the one standing here getting screamed at"

You're the safe and easy target. No one else would put up with his yelling. Sucks! I'm sorry.

Well in this case, he refuses to speak to GBM and really doesn't like talking to MIL either because she is just annoying, so I guess he just goes off on me. Classic case of me being in the wrong place at the wrong time Sad Well Aunt J. got it too a bit, but then he hung up on her.

UGHHHHH and it ALLL circles back to SD17... ALWAYS~!

no, no in DH defense, he could care less about a new phone either. The ONLY reason he doesn't want to give her his phone is because he told BS5 that he could have it when DH gets a new one because BS5 already has some games on there and likes to listen to music etc. So he's really looking out for BS5 which is why he suggested I get the new phone and give her my old one.
