To think he shouldn't have eaten my eggs?

Fuck me

At least you've had the last laugh OP - after four eggs he will probably be bunged up for a couple of days.

When I first opened the thread I assumed it was about mini eggs. I would be so pissed off if DH ate my mini eggs. Normal eggs not so much.

ChatGPT would probably also not come up with a sentence like "Accepting that life is disappointment and eating the eggs anyway is a valuable exercise in forbearance and fortitude (and cooking your own sodding eggs if it's that important to you)", because it doesn't actually make any sense to say that "accepting that life is disappointment is a valuable exercise in cooking your own eggs" — that's human levels of sentence-mangling there

I don't get why the PP thinks it's okay to shit all over someone's writing style, completely unprovoked, just because they think it looks clever to accuse another poster of being a robot. It's pointless, rude, potentially hurtful derailing.

I don’t think we are ever going to find out, it’s a shame we can’t all egg on OP to come and tell us. Unless this is a yolk thread?

coincidentally I have just had a heated discussion with my DP asking me to make him eggs for breakfast before he went to work for a night shift.

I said I would make something else whilst he got ready but I didn’t want to be stuck with the smell of lingering eggs because I’m not feeling very well. If I was genuinely ill he wouldn’t have asked but it was self inflicted, I was out last night.

He has gone to work a right little cross patch but I can’t get angry with him asking as I don’t work and he’s not allowed in the kitchen unsupervised 😂.

I imagine if I had made his eggs he would have eaten them no matter how they turned out and said thank you.
If I had messed them up like making poached eggs with a hard yolk or rubbery scrambled eggs and we had two left I’d have cooked the other two eggs and gone out and bought more.
If I didn’t have a chance to buy more then we have other options for breakfast.

Despite this being a complete non - event I am quite invested now and hope OP comes back and answers our questions.

Except plenty of people do. Perhaps not you, or anyone you know, but that's not a representative sample.

And ChatGPT definitely doesn't use the words "sodding" and "gittery".

I know plenty of people who talk and write in a similar way. I use similar language day to day too. Many people are eloquent, even if you aren't aware of it.

Reverse snobbery in action?

I find it difficult to see eggs as something that have to be divided fairly as if they were a special treat.

If my husband ate eg the last two slices of cake or the last two magnums I would be annoyed because I'd expect to have my share.

Eggs are just something we have in the house. They are not counted out and divided into his and mine.

If he finished them all off one evening and I had fancied them for breakfast I would just have cereal or toast instead. It would be a mild annoyance at most.

It looks like there are bigger problems in this relationship though.

I also need to know what happened to the inadequate eggs.

Why are people in relationships like this in 2024?

Do adults put dibs on food? Just get more eggs.

If someone isn't competent in a task they are not going to magically obtain the skill without practice. Stop enabling the lazy sod.

I have so many questions.

Why did he need you to make his dinner?
What happened the eggs weren’t to his satisfaction?
Did you tell him the last 2 eggs were for your breakfast, don’t be a fussy, greedy immature fucker and either eat the eggs you made or starve?
Why is he not wearing the eggs he wasn’t happy with?

Lastly, why do women put up with this shit? Raise your bar OP.

What happened to the not perfect eggs, did anyone eat them? If not why not? Or are they in the fridge? Waiting for bread and butter.

@mummytojoseph mug mug mug!!!! let him make his own eggs!!

So it is ok to just take all the eggs, knowing full well the other person wants some?

...but did his eggs turn out better?

Even my DH will cook his own eggs. He's not in the habit of wasting food, either.

Makes me think of a scene in a New Zealand film called Once Were Warriors where the woman's partner yells at her to make him some eggs, woman.

My dh is grateful when I cook for him, even when it doesn't go as planned.

You have to be yolking me.. Sorry

Tell him to make his own bloody dinner if he's fussy about them

If it had been the eggs off your plate I'd have said... well it doesn't matter what I'd have said but he'd have put them back sharpish.

However as you seemingly weren't having eggs for dinner or even that day I'd say the eggs in the carton were first come first serve and if he didn't fancy the botched eggs then surely the natural thing to do was make some fresh eggs with the remaining and then put them on the shopping list for whoever is next popping to a shop.
There are other options for breakfast, you can't call bagsy on the remaining eggs.

Must agree.

What a non-event. Get him to buy more eggs tomorrow.

Brilliant, now I feel fed up for the OP.
Fuck your DH and his eggs.
Goodbye.

You should hidden your eggs.

Did you send him out for more eggs in the morning?

Why the fuck did the demanding, lazy cunt not make his own fucking eggs? You didn’t want to but did. What was the reason for that?

Ugh. I hate men like this.

If he fancied eggs for dinner to the point that he would shamelessly ask someone else to make them so they are just right and not spoilt, then I genuinely wouldn't begrudge him "cracking on" and having the last two eggs. Who plans what they are having for breakfast the next day anyway? But if eggs are crucial they could easily be replaced before the morning.

It's hardly brain science.
