We have house guests, they arrived two days ago. They have two giant packets of duty free chocolate which I KNOW is for me. It’s currently in their room on the dresser. They haven’t given it to me yet, fine.

we were at the supermarket earlier and I tried to buy myself some chocolate and they literally launched themselves in front of me and shouted ‘nonono no need- I have bought you some chocolate’. Great! I didn’t get it wrong. Looking forward to it.

we are now all watching a film and I want some chocolates. They haven’t given it to me. Really wish I would I just bought my own How do I politely acquire it?

If you know them well enough for them to stay in your house can't you say something like "I'm desperate for a bit of chocolate - you mentioned earlier you had some for me - please could we open it or did you have a particular time in mind?"

"Where's the chocolate that you said you bought for me?"

Fuck me, stuff of nightmares that. I also can't think of a non awkward way of going about getting your hands on it

"You know when I was going to buy that chocolate today? It was for Chocolate Time. And that time has come. What do you have for me?"

I do think 'Chocolate Time' should become official...

Problem is, you could take on board any one of the previous excellent suggestions....but then you'd have to share it... 😱

No you apply the 'Joey doesn't share' line!!

@Voraxaraptor

Rookie Mistake!!

'You can never have too much chocolate' as you offload the shelf into your trolley.

you could have just said'im nipping out fir CHOCOLATE, can I get you anything?'

in the hope of promoting them to fetch it.

or asked them if they were playing hide & seek with the chocolate they mentioned earlier.

@Pinkpinkpink15 this thread is 2 months old, I’m sure OP has had her chocolate fix by now.
