DH has embarrassed me

[Wailywailywaily]

I didn't think it was possible after my upbringing with sixties, self sufficient, organic, loved up, hippy parents but DH managed today

This morning we cycled to a greasy spoon for breakfast. We sat near another couple who got up and left just as our plates arrived DH looked over at their table and pointed out that they had left all their sausages, next thing I knew he had gone over there and collected up the sausages and deposited them on his plate

Clearly I need to LTB , I'm not unreasonable am I?

I think I would have expired of embarrassment on the spot.

I have wanted to do this sort of thing a million times.

Good on him for having the brass neck, I say.

Urgh, what if they had germs

oink oink

Scarlet for ya!

That is... revolting and also technically theft.

But mostly just revolting.

Oh yuk! Even my starving, grotty teenagers wouldn't stoop to that.

He has form but has never stooped this low before. Mainly things like ferreting around in skips

My then 4 year old helped herself to chips on the uncleared table we'd just nabbed in a busy cafe. They were in her gob before I could stop her. Yuck.

Nasty!!!! And what a cheapskate.

my dd leant over my shoulder and swiped chips from some teenagers chip cone i was mortified! fortunately they saw the funny side and offered her a couple more

Perhaps your dh would appreciate my delightful childs comment in Primark today. 'Get Daddy the dark pants. He will like them best as they won't show they're dirty so quickly'.
I was embarrassed at his shrillness and yet also thoroughy disgusted with my dh who has presumably discussed this issue with ds.

I normally delight in the ease with which I can embarrass my DC. I suspect DH has no shame and I will never be able to embarrass him

EEW! My DH is like that....though he'd stop himself in a cafe I reckon. Saying that, when he was in college and working as a waiter, he told me that when he took plates where the food was barely touched, he'd often chow down on the steak! He was always hungry!

As a teen my friends and I used to do this with leftover food all the time so long as it was whole (eg: wouldn't take a half-eaten sausage). I don't do it any more although I often want to, unfortunately I am more worried about what others would think or that the people who left it might come back having not really finished.

Disgusting, YANBU.

Gross, just gross. I would have left him there and then, yuck.

I don't see much of a problem tbh, as long as the food was untouched.

We had a thread about taking leftovers from a table in a cafe a few weeks ago.

It was grim then and so is this.

Sorry,why didn't you tell him to stop and put them back?

Nowt to do with germs just wrong.

Ferreting around in skips for sausages?

Sigh, I hoped someone would come and say not to worry their DH is far worse.

He has never found sausages is skips as far as I am aware

Missed the other thread, I only come on here to complain about DH these days

yabu.

it's just bloody food - most of you on this thread are so precious.
it's not theft, they already abandoned them.
it would have been a waste

We scooted (well, they scooted, I shimmied them along) past some tables outside a pub today with some abandoned chips thereon. Both sets of tiny eyes latched onto them from 10 feet away and both tiny heads swivelled around surprisingly far as we passed, but I'm glad to say that neither dd (3 & 5) actually swooped in, although Dd1 did ask why they'd been left.

My DH used to ask people who hadn't finished their food on a plane if he could have it...

My dad once found a pair of shoes in a bin. Took them out and wore them for years. I was 13 at the time. Still haven't quite got over that one. Mortified.

I wouldn't be able to kiss him after that!
Did you go near his lips ??!
