Steak and BJ day

236 replies

Bitchycocktailwaitress · 14/03/2017 14:12

So, was watching a cooking show last night that really put me in the mood for a nice rare steak. Told DH I wanted to pick up some big rib-eyes at the supermarket with him.

He told me he would be embarrassed as it is apparently steak and BJ day today (valentines for men) and we will look like twats if we go into Tesco to buy steak today.

We have compromised by agreeing to use the self service till.

Is he BU? I am going to serve with crab with home made mayo and crusty bread as a starter, and baked potatoes with Philly and crispy bacon, and a green salad as a side.

I managed to keep this day from my DP (he's not very social media savvy) but unfortunately this year he caught sight of a meme relating to it so now he is aware, although hasn't mentioned it since.

Maybe I'm just uptight but I resent the notion that partners should feel obliged to give a sexual favour, regardless of whether they want to or not, or that men are entitled to a blow job just because it's a certain day.

The whole idea of it is just a massive turn off for me.

Its not folliwjng Asian tradition. White Day is for women, Valentine's day is for the men (they get given chocolate).

Steak & BJ is made up by some saddo who thinks men needs to think they are macho by having to have manly things.

Anyway we had steak last night here.

NewPuppyMum · 14/03/2017 18:18

chippie - your 14:35 comment where you said it was about husbands saying thank you for their valentines gifts. Given the husband gets the steak and the BJ I'm not sure where the thanks for the wife comes in. You've posted several times which is why I specified the time this time.

Didn't know this exists.

But I know from some Asian friends from highschool that there's this thing called white day, right? I think that may be today as well... Idk, tbh.

2. ChippieBeanAndHorro Tue 14-Mar-17 14:35:29

It's a day where boyfriends/husbands etc say thankyou for their Valentine's day presents, I think... (?)

I think it depends.

In some cultures only one person in a relationship receives a gift/anything. So the other person gives them a thank you gift the next month...

But yes, it may be meant to imply that "all that romantic crap" is something the boyfriend/husband has no interest in and that he therefore deserves a reward... Which is a "bit" eh...

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 14/03/2017 18:23

What's the issue...? Confused

Yes, white day is a day where boyfriends/husbands/male lifepartners... say thanks for the chocolate they received on valentine's day.

Which was my initial contribution to this thread. Because I've never heard of the macho variant called steak and BJ day.

I'm taking my son out for steak tonight for passing his driving test. What sort of looks am I going to get in Cau?

Sallystyle · 14/03/2017 18:30

If my husband seriously asked for a BJ because someone somewhere decided it was BJ day I would be most disappointed in him.

However, if he knows it is today and felt embarrassed about buying a steak incase other people think he is 'celebrating' the day I would not think he was a twat like some earlier posters claimed about OPs husband.

I would feel a bit silly about buying steak today myself because I wouldn't want anyone to think I was the kind of person who goes for steak and BJ day.

diddl · 14/03/2017 18:37

"White Day is for women, Valentine's day is for the men (they get given chocolate)."

I thought it was mainly Asia as only women tend to buy something for Valentine's Day.

I've always known couples to exhange presents on Valentine's Day or go for a meal or whatever, not for it to be exclusively for women.

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 14/03/2017 18:40

Steak and bi day makes me irrationally angry. What sad prick came up with this idea?

littlejeopardy · 14/03/2017 18:48

I lost all ability to contribute meaningfully to this thread after reading about racist Tuesday.

I'm just sat here sniggering.

Bantanddec · 14/03/2017 18:56

He could stealthily use the self check out, as long as he doesn't get an unexpected item in the bagging area it's all good Grin

Crowdblundering · 14/03/2017 18:57

Oh is away with the military so he'll have to sort himself out Smile

Lf803 · 14/03/2017 19:02

I am soooo glad my DH doesn't know about this 😂

BabychamSocialist · 14/03/2017 19:21

It's Lasagne and "Don't think I've forgotten the violent diarrhoea I had on valentine's day because of the dodgy Indian you took me to" day in this house...

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 14/03/2017 19:23

If DH wasn't on ights tonight we would be doing Steak and BJ Day Grin I prefer it to Valentine's, it speaks to the glutton in me as I would rather a steak than a sad bunch of flowers any day!

PageNowFoundFileUnderSpartacus · 14/03/2017 19:35

OP how much of a live thread, exactly? Grin

Racist Tuesday is the best autocorrect I've ever seen.

Whisky2014 · 14/03/2017 19:37

The female version of the day is Chicken and lickin'.

Sorry not read the whole thread so apologies if its been said already!

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 14/03/2017 20:08

Whilst you coupled-up folk argue amongst yourselves, I propose 14th April:
"Threesome Fun With Ben & Jerry Day", for those of us currently single...Wink

( Peanut Butter Cup for the win).

ShelaghTurner · 14/03/2017 20:10

Leftover lasagne and 'we're not even speaking so you're truly out of luck' day here.

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 14/03/2017 20:11

Threesome Fun With Ben & Jerry Day",

That's something us coupled people may want to do, I guess...
