Finding a shard of plastic in my food

I’m in Indonesia right now. I ate an English breakfast in some cafe and found a shard of plastic which cut the roof of my mouth I pulled it out and showed my husband even prodded him to show him how sharp it was. I told him I was going to tell the staff and he said “noooo, let’s just get the bill” I hadn’t even finished my breakfast, I was still hungry and he didn’t seem to care. The staff came to apologize and was offering another dish, I didn’t feel like I should have paid but my husband played it off as I’m some sort of drama queen by laughing and patting me on the back saying it’s ok and asking for the bill again which he paid. Meanwhile I’ve left to another cafe to get breakfast when he comes in and sits beside me trying to play it off as if it was nothing until I said “if you cut your mouth we wouldn’t hear the end of it” and then he decided to get up and leave to say he’s going back to the hotel...

I’m so confused as to what the hell hes even thinking. In any restaurant or cafe you don’t expect to find a foreign object in your food but to feel so stupid in front of the waiting staff. AIBU?

Now you know how the rest of the animal kingdom feel. They are finding plastic in their food, who do they complain to?

I don't understand what aibu you are asking?

Slightlyconcernedd · 05/06/2018 08:59

I mean aibu to be pissed off with my husband for making it out as if it was nothing and then paying for it and now leaving to go back to the hotel. It feels as though he doesn’t give a s^*# about me when I told him the roof of my mouth was bleeding he just wanted to pay the bill. I ate one hash brown and an egg and got my mouth cut open. Why should I have to pay for that?

Why did you prod him with something sharp enough to cut you?

It's Thailand. Different hygiene and H&S rules I dare say.
Can you really be bothered with the hassle of complaining in a language I assume you don't speak? Let it go and don't let a petty argument spoil the rest of your hols.

What did you want him to do? Shout at them?
Enjoy your holiday op

Maybe your husband didn't want to create a fuss in a foreign country since you are foreigners...YeH if you complain in uk you may likely get a refund/discount or a new meal....but maybe he's thinking you don't know what will happen there (will they call "friends" to come and remove you...will they call the police to say you are causing problems in their establishment. Etc) I think if I'd been in your position in uk I'd have complained ...but in a foreign country being more vulnerable as I'm not from their, don't know the language, laws or any people there, I think I'd have kept quiet, stopped eating, and paid the bill and left ..

I would leave it and not argue with your husband about it...do you really want the rest of your holiday spoilt by a piece of plastic...put it behind you and both of you enjoy your holiday

I really wasn’t trying to make a fuss. The wait staff were actually really nice about it and offered another dish. I’m just frustrated with my husband for always trying to play things down and not listening to me. He really makes me feel so inadequate or as if I purposely inflict these things on myself. It’s not just a once off it’s constantly I just feel like he doesn’t care and shows no empathy or support at all.

Well, I certainly wouldn't choose a foreign holiday to start an argument with him. Get off the hotel wifi, and Mumsnet, and get out and enjoy your hols! It might bring you both closer together.

Well,we should just scrap all those health and safety laws then, seeing as the animals don't have anyone to complain to Confused

How dare you go on holiday, OP? Animals don't get the choice to go on holiday HmmGrin
