Just made my husband cry over cous cous

[TateWorm]

So DH came home rather tipsy from a night out, I was in bedroom watching TV with dogs as DC are at their dad's for the weekend.

I heard a thump from the kitchen, thought he may have just dropped a glass or something and been lucky.

Nope it was my cous cous (we have the Joseph Joseph podium containers) but I thought it was the quinoa.

"why is my quinoa all over the floor, oh wait is that the cous cous?"

Most middle class/MN question ever. Is the dog called Balonz?

Ounce 😂 "AIBU? I took my DD for a day out (National Trust property) and we took a picnic which I'd made the night before (stored in the Smeg fridge) But because DH had cooked us a large breakfast (on the Aga) DD would not eat the lovely lunch I'd made...(quinoa salad with pomegranite and asparagus) AIBU to e

Erm... Yeah crikey. What's going on lol!?

I think I’ve lived away from the UK for too long because there’s so much about this that is a mystery to me. What is Joseph Joseph? Why would you be worried about spilling cous cous or quinoa, they aren’t expensive at all? Surely everyone at least eats cous cous, and even my 73 year old parents have quinoa so I think it’s pretty ubiquitous. This may be Australia though, is it a rarer thing in the UK?

If only joseph joseph did designer labels OP , you wouldnt have had this problem

If he can be worried about quinoa cost more than cous cous( not much), he isn't drunk enough. And what was he doing with cous cous in the middle of the night, unless it was placed in where you can bump into it.....

I think Joseph Joseph is just Tupperwares dishes.

Odd thread.

Coffee and Resolve for you and DH for breakfast, OP.

We buy squeezy Mayo after drunk husband dropped an entire glass jar on a porcelain gloss tiled floor, then proceeded to hoover it up and clean the floor with antibacterial spray. I was on my hands and knees cleaning it properly at 7:30am when I spotted the smears everywhere before I went to work.

Poor DDog gets locked out the house in the garden regularly when he lets him out once he's come home drunk then falls asleep on the sofa before he wants to come back inside.

Couscous and quinoa? So passe OP! It's all about the freekeh now (judging by the range of salads in Waitrose's "to go" section.)

Are you Sharon’s middle class cousin?

Stories about adults drinking to incapacity are bloody grim.

Many years ago I posted in AIBU that my husband had used my White Company towels to clean his golf clubs with and I couldn’t get the grass stains out. Do I win the Most Middle Class Thread Ever?

Has there been a glitch in the matrix. I use Chinese take away containers as Tupperware, do I need to leave?

sforsh49.

This thread is batshit

Off to look up Joseph Joseph .....

DH grabbed the Joseph Joseph in the hope to find a kebab inside. No wonder he cried when he saw the spilled couscous, quinoa, lentils, goji berries...

Laughing at flouncy's link

Why did he spill it? Are the podium containers pointless, with lids that don't fit?
Or did OP not put the lid on properly?

I have a tatty old komax container that I take my lunch to work in. Those 4 clips on the side are strong! Takes me ages to open them before I'm able to shovel my lunch into my gob!

I've just had to Google Joseph Joseph! I've had tubs like that from asda and b and m! 🤪

Wake up mumsnet! I just dropped a teabag. I'm very upset indeed and have nobody here to console me.

No idea what’s actually going here, but this thread is cracking me up
