I have the rage because my lunch has been thrown away

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

I’m not sure this level of rage is quite warranted

I made a delicious dinner last night and was so looking forward to it for lunch today (like woke up thinking about it looking forward to it)

And it’s been thrown away

“I didn’t know what it was”

Well why fucking throw it away then

I may have cried...

A small slap would be appreciated!

What did you make?

Who threw it away, and why if it looked like a meal?

Oh, how annoying! What was it?

Who threw it away? If it's DH, does he ever cook? Then he would realise how much hard work it can be.

Years ago an utter cunt chucked out a new unopened bottle of milk I’d brought into work so I could eat weetabix for lunch. They were chucking out all the old milk! Urgh! It still riles me now

Teriyaki beef and a pad Thai noodle thing...from scratch...it was ace. And I PURPOSELY didn’t have seconds last night so I could have some today.

Currently living with mum and dad and it was one of them. “I didn’t even remember when I’d made that” WHEN DID YOU LAST MAKE ANYTHING LIKE THAT ANYWAY

I’m definitely not over the disappointment clearly!

Last time we had Chinese, I purposely saved half my beef chow mien to eat cold the next morning.

I get up the next morning, go to the fridge to find DH has thrown it away! He casually said "oh I didn't know you wanted it, cold
Chinese food is gross."

Titsalina and I presume you divorced him within the hour!

Titsalina! I hope you left the heartless swine!

-My partner once ate my leftover skinless and boneless kfc, threw the gravy out- i had saved it all together for a naughty lunch- his half a family bucket was still in the fridge but he had gobbled mine up! I very nearly left him. And I certainly havnt forgotten about it... revenge will be mine!

Ggrrrrrr!

Heaviest Outrageous!!

I'd have the rage about that too.

I live with my dad, we have a general rule of 'if you didn't put it in the fridge you don't take it back out'

This rule is of course bent if food is obviously out of date or off mouldy

Sorry OP

DP does this allllll the time. I leave part of our chinese to have for lunch the next day but when it's DP who is tidying up afterwards and I haven't specifically said this is mine for tomorrow even though it's sat away from the others and the container is full he thinks it's just for the bin.

Or DS will look in the fridge at breakfast time, see leftover lasagne/cottage pie/curry and decide it's perfect for breakfast even though I've saved it for lunch after he's had 2 thirds of it already!!

I hate people throwing away my things, so disrespectful

That’s how I feel!!

I just don’t understand why, if you have no recollection of making it and you have another adult in the house THAT ATE THAT MEAL SITTING AT THE TABLE WITH YOU LAST NIGHT, you would throw it out.

Fucks sake

OP you can use my phrase in these situations “ I don’t expect you to realise .I expect you to ASK!”

I say this with alarming frequency as I have a DH who would throw everything away of mine if left to it.

Nice one Mrs g. I'll use that as alternative to 'don't think, mind your own business'

Dammit, beaten to the Ross and his sandwich, that's exactly what I straight away thought of!
"You... you threw my sandwich away? My. SANDWICH?!"
It had the moist maker and everything, you know.

I think his worst ever defence to throwing something away once was “ I didn’t know where to put it,!”

Condolences OP. This is literally the worst. My dh loves nothing more than to do a fridge/cupboard 'clear out' bin everything in sight without warning, when I'm not around. The inhumanity. Just fucking leave it there until you've confirmed it's actually binnable! What is the difference to these fuckers??

P.s. sorry for calling your parents fuckers.. sort of

That gives me the rage on your behalf as well.

I can't stand the whole "I didn't know what it was so I threw it out" philosophy - if you don't know what it is then FUCKING LEAVE IT ALONE for the person who DOES know what it is to deal with!!

Not food, but my DH and MIL used to do this with alarming regularity - I was saving eggboxes for a friend who had chickens, but MIL decided I was just stacking them up for No Good Reason and binned the lot.
DH threw out the tape collection I'd had in my car because "it was old technology and you hadn't even looked at it" - losing a couple of (to me) priceless and irreplaceable personal tapes.

I think they've learnt now...

Reminds me of the classic threads where someones lunch was binned which started a fridge war💖

My DH has form for eating/throwing away MY leftovers. I now stare him in the eye and use a menacing voice and say, "this is my hobbit dinner, touch it and I will end you." He doesn't eat it now.

We have such a loving relationship.

@BarbraDear my teen son does this ALL.THE.TIME!!!

Last week we had Chinese takeaway for Friday night tea, I had half a stir fried crispy beef in chilli and garlic sauce with half a portion of special fried rice saved in the fridge for a naughty Saturday lunch. Got back from food shopping and the "whiny little tinker" had scoffed the lot.

I still haven't got over it.
