Who is BU here?

[User556]

Person 1: Do we need anything else from Tesco
Person 2: Green top milk and instead of pitta see if they have flatbreads like the ones we got last time

Person 1 comes home with milk, pittas and seeded buns (which we do get time to time)

P1 Are these right?
P2 No I said flatbreads instead of pittas
P1 You were talking quietly on the phone soI couldn’t hear

I won’t say what the conversation was after as it will give it away

I can't get worked up over bread, life is too short.

Neither, it was a misunderstanding.

They went to the shop and got milk and bread, I'd be grateful.

No one was unreasonable, it was a minor misunderstanding.

Person 1

Sorry did you say pittas or flatbreads...i didnt hear.

Problem solved.

YABU for thinking this is worth posting about...

P2 should probably have stuck to saying what they wanted rather than what they didn't want.

Neither sounds unreasonable though. It was a mix-up.

P2 is BU. :)

Is it really a big deal? Pitta or flatbread?

So there’s bread and milk in the house now? Result.

You're being unreasonable for posting about it.

Well, P2 said "see if they have flatbreads" anyway. So surely they were prepared for the possibility that they might not have flatbreads. Pittas seem like a reasonable substitute.

Oh dear. Are you pregnant OP? That's the only time this kind of thing would have bothered me.

P2 should ask P1 to ask for clarification next time they can't hear something.

If such a non event turned into a significant argument then you have more to worry about than the wrong type of bread. Nobody was unreasonable here - one person just didn't hear/misunderstood. Its bread, not vital medication so hardly life or death communication.

P2 should ask P1 to ask for clarification next time they can't hear something.

Was it really that critical that it needed a call or text back for clarification?

In theory person one should have clarified but they obviously tried their best so I wouldn’t make an issue of it

Agreed with PP, minor misunderstanding not worth another moments thought.

No, no need to call or text back, it's just bread. But surely if you can't hear what someone said, you ask, not just guess?
