to think that you eat popcorn piece by piece....

.....not by grabbing as much as you can get in your hand and shovelling it into your face?

And AIBU to say "can you please stop doing that so I stand a chance of actually having some"?

Oh and AIBU to think that sitting next to such a fucking greedy desperate pig is revolting?

Sounds like displaced anger to me.
No one would get this angry about popcorn normally.
Or if that's not the case, you could get your own?

Mrsfs · 07/07/2017 06:46

Have separate bowls if it bothers you that much.

To be honest, if that's how my husband thought about me, I would think we had much bigger, more serious problems than popcorn.

Brittbugs80 · 07/07/2017 06:53

I'd say the popcorn is the least of your worries, given how little respect you have for your Husband. I'm sure someone will be along to tell you he's being controlling because he eats more popcorn than you, which will help justify the way you talk about him.

It's fucking popcorn. Not everyone eats it the same. Next time, make two bowls.

SamoanSamosa · 07/07/2017 06:58

Yeah I shovel it into my fat fucking face.

Your problem lies deeper than a bowl of popcorn.

Glumglowworm · 07/07/2017 07:01

Popcorn is the least of your problems if you hate your DH as much as you seen to

Do the guy a favour and LTB

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 07/07/2017 07:04

Like this, OP? Grin

Whisky2014 · 07/07/2017 07:05

Get two bowls next time if he can't share properly

Wow you don't like him much, do you? Grin

Maybe have a bowl each / some each next time?

Xeneth88 · 07/07/2017 07:10

Wow OP you seem delightful. Do the guy a favour and leave him, he deserves someone who doesnt talk like this about him.

Elledouble · 07/07/2017 07:13

I get where you're coming from, OP. I've stopped bringing out snacks when a particular friend of my partner's comes round because even if it's something like nuts he shovels handfuls into his face without a thought for sharing. Plus I'm not convinced he washes his hands after going to the toilet so the idea of eating anything he's touched makes me feel sick

WomblingThree · 07/07/2017 07:24

Bowl each! No way would I share anything. If he brings in a bowl, pointedly get up and get an empty one and then tip half in Grin.

I'm a 2 piece by 2 piece with popcorn and a one by one with crisps. My husband is a shoveller. Snack eating incompatibility is something that needs boundaries drawing up.

PPs with sense of humour failure? Every post isn't always about you 🙄

WomblingThree · 07/07/2017 07:26

Oops, sorry I typed too slow. I thought the OP was humorous. Mea Culpa.

Igneococcus · 07/07/2017 08:00

I usually do piece by piece but I bought a pack of peanut butter and caramel popcorn yesterday (at Lidl but not a Lidl brand) and I realized I started to shovel, it was just so good. I had to force myself to slow down and not waste all that deliciousness.

pinkyflower · 07/07/2017 09:33

shovel... handful...

Am I the only one who just rests the bowl on my boobs and eats whatever I can stick my tongue out and pick up...? Blush Grin

mygorgeousmilo · 07/07/2017 09:35

So you're unhappy with your relationship, I take it?

ImperialBlether · 07/07/2017 09:35

It's really horrible sitting next to someone who's eating in a disgusting way and it's even worse if he's being really selfish, too. (Funnily enough those things often go together.)

Separate bowls and/or separate sofas, or separate houses and lives. I know what I'd do.

Justhadmyhaircut · 07/07/2017 09:35

Fantastic excuse for a boob job!!

RhubardGin · 07/07/2017 09:36

Piece by piece is weird!

The fun of popcorn is shovelling it in Grin

Lighten up!

PyongyangKipperbang · 07/07/2017 11:21

Yes I do hate him, but its funny how sometimes its the little things that send you over the edge.

Do him a favour and LTB? How about he does me a favour and stops lying and cheating?

No, this isnt about popcorn but last night popcorn was the reason I wanted to put an axe in his head.

KoalaDownUnder · 07/07/2017 11:24

He sounds vile in every way. Can you do yourself a favour and leave him?

strawberrygate · 07/07/2017 11:27

Jesus Almost you're a bit of a sensitive flower aren't you.

Skarossinkplunger · 07/07/2017 11:27

Is the popcorn a metaphor?

Oswin · 07/07/2017 11:29

Hope you are able to get rid of this prick asap.

Nousernameforme · 07/07/2017 11:29

That sounds like a miserable way to live. Are you working on an exit strategy at the moment?
