CF husband. Can you beat this?

DH has an inbuilt distrust of internet shopping so when I placed my Ocado Christmas order he became very agitated and insisted that all the fresh vegetables be removed as he wished to choose them himself.

OK, I say. If you wish to visit the supermarket on the busiest day of the year to buy exactly the same items that would have been carried straight into our kitchen then who am into argue? Vegetables were removed.

This morning, on his way to the gym he suggested I might like to go to Waitrose this evening to purchase the Christmas fucking vegetables whilst he enjoys a drink at the pub. After he’s finished playing golf. Xmas Shock

I have explained in good Anglo Saxon English that this will not be happening. Oh, and it’s his family coming, not mine. Xmas Grin

AIBU to suggest he is the CF of the day?

Next year tell him you have ordered shopping, minus veggies, which you will fetch yourself, and then just order them anyway. Chances are he won't be there when shopping delivered anyway.

Loonoonow · 22/12/2017 13:20

WOW. He could be the MN CF of 2017. And that is quite a feat as the competition has been strong this year.

Viviennemary · 22/12/2017 13:21

You should have ignored him. And said you will be ordering your veg from online and if he wants otherwise he buys and cooks his own. CF medal for him.

BarbarianMum · 22/12/2017 13:21

This year the CF in our marriage is me. Grin I've cunning engineered it so I'm at work this week and dh is off with the kids doing the whole clean house top to bottom/baking/present wrapping pre-Christmas nightmare, whilst I'm in a quiet office with a phone that's stopped ringing eating mince pies.

I suspect he'll not fall for that again.

Annelind · 22/12/2017 13:22

Xmas Shock winner of the Christmas CFs!.....so far, anyway! Xmas Grin

pollythedolly · 22/12/2017 13:25

LTB (with just turkey and gravy for Christmas lunch) if he's doesn't come good Xmas Wink

problembottom · 22/12/2017 13:26

Total CF. Do not cave.

youngestisapsycho · 22/12/2017 13:27

It does not matter if he is out tonight.. the shops are open tomorrow and Sunday too!

Oblomov17 · 22/12/2017 13:29

I would have ordered them anyway.

TheDodgyEnd · 22/12/2017 13:29

Ha! Well done OP! What did he say to that?

MatildaTheCat · 22/12/2017 13:30

Haha, have no fear, he will be enjoying a lovely trawl of the leftover veg tomorrow. Xmas Grin

He will also be prepping and cooking the entire meal as I have a back injury, hence me being so kind as to order all the food in...Xmas Hmm

I am truly honoured and humbled at being nominated as having the CF DH of 2017. Unless, of course someone can do better? Which I’m sure they can and will!

Grrr rrrr - mine is pissing me right off. He works 30 hours a week, I work 50, he buys 1 present (mine) I buy 52. He spend Wed when I was working having an 'xmas shopping day' with lunch and a few drinks. Yesterday he was catching up on his reading. I am He has just told me that he going to clean the porch because I don't know how to do it properly. What. A. Dick.

MrRayaUmasTurban · 22/12/2017 13:32

He's definitely after a Cheeky Christmas...

I say you wrap the veg for his Xmas pressies.

PinkHeart5914 · 22/12/2017 13:32

😂 cheeky sod

How one can want to go to the supermarket to get a parsnip instead of having it delivered is beyond me, he will learn when his fighting his way round the supermarket looking for a sprout

MrsLandingham · 22/12/2017 13:35

Many, many years ago my now XH casually mentioned that he needed some razor blades. I said that was lucky, because I needed some tampons, so he could buy them whilst he was in the pharmacy.

Not the response he was expecting at all Xmas Grin

IsabelleSE19 · 22/12/2017 13:37

Please tell me somewhere there is a roundup/awards thread for CF of the year! Brew

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 22/12/2017 13:41

I thought CF was cunty fucker until now

MsHarry · 22/12/2017 13:42

Absolutely! CF 2017!

CrackersForlt · 22/12/2017 13:45

Xmasgrinch, you buy 52 presents. FIFTY-TWO!

No wonder you are a grinch. I'd be knocking that on the head.

I buy for three people. That's plenty.

Tinselistacky · 22/12/2017 13:49

Drive to supermarket.
Select suitable veg, parsnip, aubergine, large carrot, leek,
Return home and shove them up his arse.

AdoraBell · 22/12/2017 13:50

YANBU, and do not go yourself. How the actual fuck will that work? He wants to choose the veg himself, as he stated.

Unless he has a serious identity crisis and firmly believes that you are him then he is the only person who can choose the veg after staying that he wants to choose the veg.

AdoraBell · 22/12/2017 13:51

Stating, not saying

Tentomidnight · 22/12/2017 13:54

MachineBee · 22/12/2017 13:55

No no no Tinsel. Do not enable him. He needs to understand the consequences of his CF-ery. Mayhem at the shop or lots of questions from his family at the Xmas dinner table.
