AIBU to think DH should stop taking discounted food out of peoples trolleys.

This is awful

I wonder how he'll react when he does get a punch

And he's got no idea of anyone's circumstances either

Why are you disappointed in the replies? You clearly also think he's a dickhead or why did you post?
He'd be fucking bothered if he took something out of my trolley.

Aye right

Then it’s possibly food hoarding instinct, children and teens who have been kept short of food will do this even when they have food security.
Or it’s a nastier instinct —- he looks down on people who need to buy discounted food and wants to deny them that by showing his superiority. He won’t queue or join in the scrum for reduced food but takes from those who’ve done the work.
Either way I think he needs help.

That is a VERY odd thing to do!!
I would be mortified if my DH did this

@ByWarmViewer what is his justification for it ? does he also take non reduced out of peoples trolleys ?

He’s a dickhead!

I’d be embarrassed writing this. He’s clearly unhinged. Where do you live? Never seen people pushing over the reduced section, and I don’t exactly live in a posh area!

I don’t think who he’s snatching it from is the deal here. He shouldn’t be snatching it at all.

Has anybody reported this thread for trip trapping around the supermarket?

Well obviously you’re not being unreasonable! That’s ridiculous- I wouldn’t go near a shop with my oh if that’s how he behaved. That’s mortifying.

I actually think it is quite entitled that he on 100k thinks he deserves those discounted items more than anyone else. That is a high wage and chances are most people around him won't be earning near that.

He could be snatching out of the trolley of a single mum and she was getting a rare treat for the kids.

I'd be quite disgusted if I was you.

So he is one assumes big enough to be intimidating (as not worried about being hit) uses that to take food from potentially children (as old people is his line one assumes parents aren’t) even though he grew up in care and knows what a tough childhood is like.

a tough childhood doesn’t not give you the right to not respect social norms such as this. He doesn’t need the food, you don’t need it. Stop taking it away from those who do

because I frankly would report him if I saw it and happily get him banned

I’d say he’s done well not to get more than a push if he does it on the regular…

Seriously? He takes yellow sticker goods out of other people's trolleys? That's absolutely unhinged. Aside from the fact that you have plenty of money, it's weird. If my partner did that once he wouldn't do it again because I would give him a proper dressing down. Absolutely ridiculous.

The Saturday episode of jackanory.

This is a control thing. He sounds like a bully. What's he getting out of doing this? Very odd behaviour.

I think its fair for you to be disappointed.

But also good for you both to be aware that others will consider you "a couple of complete throbbers to be avoided at all costs".

But at least you have each other, so there's that I guess. Small little world though, with time split between 'earning over £100k' and taking food out of other people's trolleys lol.

I'm only joking of course, this is clearly a troll thread to get reactions. Nobody is this thick.

Sociopathic behaviour.

WTH. Your husbands behaviour is appalling. What a prince! I can’t believe you are shocked about the replies. Not taking food out of someone’s trolley is a well-understood social convention that everyone adheres to. Legally of course they haven’t paid for it yet so don’t own it but everyone understands it’s as good as theirs and their property once in their trolley. I would be apoplectic if my husband behaved liked this. Taking something from anyone’s trolley is horrible behaviour but taking food from peoples trolleys who are desperate for a bargain price just for lolz when he is so well-to-do is grotesque. Like, what am I reading here?! WHY is it always the ones on £100k who act like this?!

@HoppingPavlova most people I know have a standard fridge freezer either free standing or integrated but one part on top the other, typically 60/40 split with the fridge part being 60%. So plenty wouldn't have room for 7 or 8 chickens.

Eh I’d go my ends over a loaf of bread out of pure principle for being gutsy enough to do this. Weird behaviour

What sort of replies did you expect, out of curiosity?

Im even more worried that he doesn’t care if he gets hit over some cheap baked goods. That’s not normal . It’s not clever or big to take from other people who may need it more when you clearly don’t. Poor taste

He sounds like he’s doing to get a reaction from other customers. He doesn’t NEED to, he shouts and uses his voice to back others down and isn’t scared of a physical altercation- he’s a bully. You sound like you know what he’s doing is wrong but you still like it.

I'll be kind and say that you are both a lot more damaged by your childhoods, than you realise. but luckily can afford counselling. As for him getting hit, if it was someone's trolley that I was with and you defended him, I'd skull rag you out the door. There's no way that he isn't a bully in work etc. I doubt your relationship is a healthy one, but he might be what you need or will settle with, because of your psychiatric situation. Because of both your pasts, you think you can justify your behaviour, I wonder how far your DH will go with that. I hope that he thinks the rules of the road apply to him. You are two people who most definitely shouldn't have children until you address your issues.

Who is he to judge granted lots are greedy but he has no idea of someone's circumstances. And that's just plain weird. I hope someone wacks him one, surely it makes him just as bad. I personally CBA with the faff of any of it and stay clear. He needs to get out more, I'd hit the roof I'f my husband did that!
