Is this acceptable or should I do time for murder?

[Busyworkingbee]

Been at work all day and OH has been home.
I usually cook but he asked if I wanted a jacket spud. To which I replied "yes please."

He shouts in..
Do you want mayo? Yes
Do you want cheese? Yes

5 minutes later he handed it to me.
Jacket spud with a tin of tuna slapped on top, and I mean straight from the tin, still the shape of the tin. A few sprinklings of cheese on top and mayo squirted on top. The worst bit is there was no butter on my spud at all!

I was speechless!
He doesn't cook so didn't want to hurt his feelings, but surely this form of spud is a known abomination

Ha it's like when DP cooks something amazing and I go to do the dishes (fair!) and he's used every pot and pan we own. Sadly they sometimes need a bit of guidance, but at least easier to mash food together on your own plate than cook yourself

Hahah! I did mash it all together and obviously added butter! He just looked at me as if to say. "Isn't it good enough?"

Cunt.

LTB.

Call 101.

Grrrrrr

Not worth doing time for.

Just make him practise until he he can do it to an acceptable standard!

Why doesn't he cook?

Bit of an over reaction.

Actually lol'd at this. This is the sort of thing my dp would do. Which is why I do all the cooking ( and he's a crap cook lol)
I think deep Down they do it badly on purpose, just so we don't ask them to do it again haha

I know you’re being lighthearted, but it’s not really funny, is it? Another case of the ‘durrr, silly menz can’t do lady work well. This is why they shouldn’t be in the kitchen, harhar’.

He just looked at me as if to say. "Isn't it good enough

He wouldn’t had to give me a ‘look’. If it was my husband, he would have been told it wasn’t good enough, and either make it properly or not at all. It takes a special type of stupid and incompetent not to do tuna mayo probably. I guess you won’t ask him to do it again.

He does all the washing and I do the cooking! It's just how we do it.
Of course it's and over reaction it's obviously light hearted

@HowCanThisBeRight starting to believe that myself. It's genius really! Ha.

He does all the washing and I do the cooking! It's just how we do it.

Right, so if you had to do the washing, would you cock it up because it’s not your ‘usual job’?

@Padparadscha I'd agree with you if he didn't do half of everything else and all the washing.
This is literally lack of knowledge and it's not a guy/girl thing.

@Padpara, I feel sorry for your husband.

I'm tempted just to stick my red underwear in with his white shirts as pay back. But no I wouldn't!

This is literally lack of knowledge

It’s tuna mayo. Has he never had it before? Doesn’t know what it looks like? Is it that complicated? Sorry, I know you’re looking for ‘lighthearted’ responses, but I think it’s a bit sad you’re laughing off deliberately poor behaviour. As I said, I doubt you’d make a cock up of doing one of ‘his’ jobs.

Haha. He’ll have plonked the tuna on top, added the mayo at the end and wondered how it looks all mixed up and mayonaisy when everyone else makes it.

Padpara, I feel sorry for your husband.

Ah, I’ll let him know! I’m sure he’ll realise what a big mistake it is being with someone who expects a tiny bit of common sense .

Why do people continue to live with people they can’t communicate with? Have you procreated with this man? This man you can’t talk to and go “look at this shit dinner you made. Is that honestly how you think you make tuna mayo baked spud?”

Okay! I get your point. But I am laughing regardless because I don't take everything so seriously and realistically people cock up.

Has he ever eaten or even seen a jacket potato before? Presumably yes, or he wouldn't have offered to make you one? In which case, why didn't he make you a nice jacket potato?

I know it's only meant to be lighthearted, but there are women (and men) who have been murdered for not making a meal the way their partner likes it.

Of course I told him that's not right! Of course we communicate.
Oh my days! Some people. Have we procreated? That's just ridiculous. Move on to another thread and argue if you don't find it humerous.

for Christmas/birthday give him children's/junior cookbook. with pictures. and/or a cookery course.

@mumsastudent hahaha! That's brilliant.

Sorry. I just don't find the idea that men are somehow incapable of dealing with normal domestic life and it is somehow charming that they can't remotely funny.

Well Idk, if I was coming home after a day at work & "all" I was getting was a baked potato, I'd be a bit insulted I think that there hadn't been any effort even made to mix the filling!

I mean it's quite thoughtless isn't it?

I like it when I’m reading a ‘isn’t my man silly’ thread thinking.... ugh god Cani be bothered to pint out how pathetic this sounds, and other posters always manage to get in early and say - um yeah he sounds like he’s taking the piss. It’s a jacket potato ffs how can he not know how to make one.
