To be really fucked off?!

NC because DP found out about mumsnet! just to be safe Grin

The guys came in to fix the phones at work today. I can have a laugh with them. I can talk to them.
But now, I won't.
The guy said "How are you today?"
I said: "I'm tired, me. DP was on the xbox all night"
he made a weird face. then he asked me, when are you learning to drive?
and I said, "when DP gets a job"
He replied with: "Bin him. get someone with money!"

NONONO. You DO NOT say that to someone. I LOVE my partner and I do not appreciate this at all. We live with our parents so not having a job is no problem at the minute, no DCs, no house of our own as of yet. DP is going in the forces. I don't give a flying fuck about money. Yes, I'd like to be spoiled, but just being with him, to me, is being spoiled. Being told to "bin" my DP because I can't afford to drive and he was on the xbox is completely disgusting to say to a person.
AIBU to be COMPLETELY SEETHING about this?!

I am 54. Please forgive me.

I'm making chips! Grin

TequilaMockingbirdy · 06/05/2014 20:01

Fry a few onions and chilli first, maybe a sprinkle of papariki and garlic, then shove the chips in the frying pan when they're done for a minute or so. Mix in with the onions. YUMMM

Waltermittythesequel · 06/05/2014 20:03

Oh I'm so doing that! Drooling at the prospect!

TequilaMockingbirdy · 06/05/2014 20:08

Hope you enjoy them! Sprinkle with salt and pepper in the pan too

It's banter... but the phone man had a point! :D

Although there is a lot of inherent sexism in the work place which you don't need to put up with, this kind of chat is the kind of thing you will get from people. You need to learn to deal with it. Just laugh it off.

And I have to echo what others are saying. If you are living at home, and therefore have no outgoing like rent or bills then £480 should last you longer than 10 days. If you are paying rent and housekeeping then fair enough.

Pipbin · 06/05/2014 20:19

Sorry, got to the bottom of the first page and didn't realise there were 100s of further posts.

Mmmm chips.

Down with ketchup and all that !

LaQ, your fiver is in the post...

Pipbin · 06/05/2014 20:53

I feel your pain LaQueen. I hate being late to the party and then talking about stuff when the conversation has moved on. There should be MN+1.

Chips and mayo, yum.

EllaFitzgerald · 06/05/2014 21:10

I've just read the whole thread and all I'm taking from it is a terrible craving for a chip butty!

ExitPursuedByABear · 06/05/2014 21:11

Pages are so last century.

"Usually that echelon of women much prefer empty platitudes, superficial sympathy and insipid observations"

in fact OP came back, said she had been a muppet, but nonethless the shit kicking continued

and anyone that dared say that some of the phrases were somewhat unkind were roundly berated as being "goady fuckers" , and "having nothing better to do", and OH the irony the word clique was even used!!

and then OP was accused of being a "troll"

anyway, it's AIBU. I should expect no more

i sincerely hope she has hidden the thread

Waltermittythesequel · 06/05/2014 21:40

The Chips. Are. Divine.

This is the sole reason that MN exists. This moment right here.

redandchecker · 06/05/2014 21:42

OOOO did you try it walter
I shall be giving this a go as i googled all the local chinese menus and none do salt and pepper chips Envy

TequilaMockingbirdy · 06/05/2014 21:42

Yayyy I'm glad you enjoyed them Grin They're nothing compared to Happy Hong's but seriously good anyway!

ThePinkOcelot · 06/05/2014 21:44

Over reaction or what?! You sound really childish to me.

AnyFucker · 06/05/2014 21:45

if OP comes back she will be welcomed with open arms and a bag of chips

bullying, my arse

if she has seen her arse, then I am afraid she is not ready to accept any advice that would be remotely useful to her. The fact she doesn't see it as useful right now is neither here nor there. And yes, that is patronising. She's just a kid with a lot to learn.

Sorry about the double post, my internet is playing silly buggers this evening
