He has eaten a fat ball

And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

MN is a total waste of time

AHEM!

Bahhhhhumbug · 12/03/2014 18:11

If he gets arsey because he has been outed just say 'Who rattled your cage?'

trufflehunterthebadger · 12/03/2014 18:08

My DH, who thinks MN is a total waste of time, has just pissed himself laughing at this thread :D

You will be able to dine on this for years, OP

GimmeDaBoobehz · 12/03/2014 17:56

No, just no.

Why would you even want to eat them?

They don't even look appetising.

I left a lamb casserole in the oven for my DH when I went out. When I got back he said it was delicious except for one piece of meat that was tough as hell and absolutely vile. Yes DH that was the bouquet garni bag.

Many years ago my Dad, who was rather fond of prunes, went into the kitchen to put more prune juice on his prunes Didn't bother to put the light on. Took one mouthful and spat it out. It was chip fat that had been left to cool and solidify. Looks remarkably like prune juice, especially in the dark.

This 'snack with a string' story is one if the funniest I have ever read. Qualifies in the top 10 of the 'Mumsnet Thread Lap'!

ballsballs: yep, an earplug. Apparently it was pale yellow, squishy and quite wotsit-esque

He has never lived it down.

Piglet John that really made me laugh.

PigletJohn · 11/03/2014 22:50

in winter, I always try to get DP to ask the man on the Pets and Garden counter if he's got Fatballs.

She never will

Tyto76 · 11/03/2014 22:22

This is so so funny, thank you. I'm crying with laughter

BlueSkySunnyDay · 11/03/2014 22:18

Ahh Sometimes on a similar theme - my gran was in a rush to go out one morning and put "hairspray" on.....only to find out it was actually the dogs anti-mate spray!!!!

BlueSkySunnyDay · 11/03/2014 22:15

A few years ago we went out for a Christmas meal and were served something which was very similar - probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever been served in a restaurant. One of my friends said "this is just like one of those balls you put out for birds"

I am still puzzled to this day exactly what it was meant to be (some kind of stuffing ball?)

ballsballsballs · 11/03/2014 22:08

earplug?

Popped into petsathome earlier to let children spend 10min looking at the fish / reptiles / rabbits. Whilst in there thought - must buy some wild bird food. Was with husband (who I had shown this thread to) we were looking at the v unappetising fat balls and laughing about your husband's culinary taste when turned around to find my nearly 2 year old DS had picked up a rectangular slab of a fat ball, chomped through the plastic and had a mouthful of it. Nearly screamed when the label said also contained meal worms! Was scrapping nuts and seeds off his tongue and hands - yuck. Maybe your DH has started a new craze that is going to spread across the nation? Child seems fine btw. That'll also teach me and DH for laughing at others.

mathanxiety · 11/03/2014 15:17

He probably had all kinds of fond thoughts about you, leaving a plate of snacks for him to enjoy during the match ...

Has he coughed up a furball yet?

ZingSweetMango · 11/03/2014 13:55

earplug! EARPLUG!

SnotandBothered · 11/03/2014 13:53

This reminds me of a friend of mine whose husband found a cheesy wotsit in the bed, had a moan at my friend for eating crisps in bed and then proceeded to eat it . He then went on to moan that it was stale and finally drew breath long enough for her to point out that it was in fact not a 'wotsit' but an old foam earplug.

He had worn them a few weeks before when the baby was crying a lot and he had to be 'on his game'.

Karma.

ZingSweetMango · 11/03/2014 13:17

Fru

remember when he ate the entire content of the fridge including the brown thing in a pot? that's what comes to mind.

(and in that case it's a good thing Joey doesn't share food! )

TeamWill · 11/03/2014 10:03

Is he feeling chirpy this morning ?

NymodigFruOla · 11/03/2014 08:15

"makes me think you married Joey Tribbiani" Zing

phantomnamechanger · 10/03/2014 22:50

this is hilarious, cherrybaths OH is worse than the OPs "dad this ice cream tastes of chicken"

OMG

SometimesLonely · 10/03/2014 20:16

ManifestoMT That made me laugh because I was on a youth hostelling holiday once with a schoolfriend. We had a shed (dark inside) just outside a farmhouse. She got ready in the morning and came bleating to me, "Sometimes, I've just cleaned by teeth with Veet." Her gums were burning and all I could do was laugh .... She's never forgotten that.
