to poke DH in the eye for buying me a Turkish Delight instead of a Mars Bar?

because IT'S LOWER IN FAT and he thought I might APPRECIATE his thoughtfulness! I am not trying to lose weight. Obviously I should be. Next time I go to the garage and he asks me to buy him a Galaxy, he's getting celery instead. BASTARD!

YANBU, Turkish Delight is horrid.

YANBU - they aren't even in the same league as treats go.

If he had maybe got maltesers or something then he might be forgiven but Turkish sodding Delight. Outrageous.

GreenEyesandHam · 11/01/2011 20:40

I was going to say YABU because Turkish Delight is so much nicer than Mars Bar but...he actually said he got it cos it's lower in fat?

The man's an idiot :o

YANBU at all!! Shock

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not being unreasonable in my complete horror at being handed a twating pink shiny package instead of the much looked forward to Mars I had requested. I might have to suffocate him in his sleep tonight.

Bloody keyboard, the 'w' keeps sticking

MaureenMLove · 11/01/2011 20:43

YABVVU! - to just want to poke him in the eye! WTH was he thinking?

I'd have done so much more than poke in the eye!

fairtradefloozy · 11/01/2011 20:44

YANBU. Poke his eye out with celery.

The only "diet" choc I know is marmite choc. I got loads of it for Xmas as am chocoholic and marmite lover, even I can't eat the stuff.

dustycups · 11/01/2011 20:45

Grin @ celery!

tomatoplantproject · 11/01/2011 20:45

Yanbu Turkish Deight is devils food alongside Marmite

elportodelgato · 11/01/2011 20:48

YANBU my DH sometimes stupidly gets me a KitKat when I have ASKED for a Twirl Angry - why would I want my chocolate adulterated by wafer biscuity stuff eh?! In his defense he doesn't like chocolate so has no idea of the differences between them.... but Turkish Delight? WTF? I feel your pain.

If he'd got me marmite chocolate I'd have had to punch him square in the face. I didn't even know such atrocities existed.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't had a 'really please with myself' look on his face like he's done me a huge favour.

I'd have punched him just for the fact he got the wrong chocolate, but with the comment on top about it being better for you he deserves a kick in the bollocks...

TattyDevine · 11/01/2011 20:54

You are racist for not liking Turkiesh delight.

ethelina · 11/01/2011 20:57

YANBU Turkish Delight gets thrown in the fire here. Mind you, Mars Bars are pretty horrible too.

Incidentally, DH says YANBU, unless you were asking for a Yorkie Bar, because thats not for girls!!!!!!

I have already branded WANKER into his forehead...

YANBU

Turkish delight is the work of the devil and insinuating you need to lose weight - I hope he wasn't hoping for any action for quite some time!

ThisIsYourSong · 11/01/2011 21:32

What did he get? I would have eaten his.

CameronCook · 11/01/2011 21:47

Divorce the bastard

DandyDan · 11/01/2011 22:28

YABU - Turkish Delight is better than Mars Bar.
But Galaxy or Maltesers trump Turkish Delight every time.
