We've just had our first serious argument.
Every time we go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, DW smuggles some of the food out, specifically taking bags and tupperware for that purpose.
On one occasion, when it was also all-you-can-drink, she liberated a bottle of the sake that was available on a help-yourself basis.
When we go fruitpicking, she smuggles a load of it home. The system here is different to the UK, where if I remember correctly, you pay for what you pick. Here you can eat as many as you want for 30 minutes, but pay for what you take home, bought in the shop.
The most recent occasion has been a load of teabags, from a restaurant where, among other things, you can get your own exotic tea. These are individually wrapped, very very expensive looking ones, which would be pricey here. At the end of the meal, we were given two to take home. Which didn't excite DW very much, as she"d already half-inched fifty of them to take home.
These are for giving to her friends / colleagues. If she had taken one or two for her own use at home, I might only be disapproving rather than pissed off. The first time we were in this restaurant, she suggesting nicking one of the very nice plates.
Ever since an incident in my school days, where the whole class was threatened with expulsion and getting the police involved after someone nicked something on a school day out, I have long hated shoplifters and thieves in general.
I have told her before that I hate her doing this - this time I was really angry. I was able to make my point, but I can see she thinks I'm making fuss over nothing, and that I am on a high horse. Moral issues apart, I don't want to go to such places with her and worry about being seen and thrown out.
AIBU?
