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

Wtf #diddl seriously. We rarely have jacket potatoes but they are a perfectly acceptable dinner! And my DP loves jacket potatoes. He'll eat them plain with only butter, not even a topping 😱

Sometimes if we are feeling lazy we just have a few boiled eggs shock horror other days we have full on cooked from scratch meals. Swings and roundabouts.

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

I think it’s bloody disrespectful. I imagine the op always tries to make something tasty and filling for her husband’s dinner each day, and this piss-poor, obviously can’t be bothered effort is his response? However, we’re not the op, and I guess someone has to find these men endearing.

I can’t believe you have posted this light hearted thread. My hamster was killed by a flying baked potato so this has really offended me

That's vile. How did he do his own?

LTB.

It's just bloody laziness.

Okay I get it. He's being pathetic and clearly so am I. It was intended as a light hearted thread to cheer me up. But obviously that's not how people are reading it. I've asked for it to be removed because I suffer highly with anxiety and I don't want to be reading people using it as an excuse to put me down.
But thanks to the people who saw it as a joke.

Good grief, I'm not saying that there's anything at all wrong with a baked potato as a meal.

What I meant by "all" was that it takes no effort does it & to then just plonk stuff on it!!

LTB. Come and live with me - I've got JP in the oven at the moment alongside a lovely chicken and ham pie ;-) X

Exactly why I always cook... DH once cooked unseasoned chicken breast and served it with plain boiled potatoes and broccoli. I asked for a sauce, he added boiling water to a stock cube...

"Exactly why I always cook"

Really-rather than tell him to do it better next time??

a tin of tuna slapped on top, and I mean straight from the tin, still the shape of the tin.

Would it have tasted any different if was in an alternative shape?

I think you should cut all contact with his mother, she has let you, and him, down badly by not teaching him how to do a baked spud.

This is absolutely worth doing time over.

My dh once made me a jacket potato without butter and I swear if I didn’t love him so much I’d have needed to be held back. It goes:
Butter
Salt
Mash
Topping
Cheese

There is no other acceptable way.

He also made me a boiled egg and brought it up with toast CUT INTO TRIANGLES. Wtf?!

(Mash as in you then mash in the butter. Not adding actual mashed potato. I’m a carb queen but even I’m not that bad)

Some people take things FAR too seriously and use any excuse to be negative on this website.

I found this funny and completely light-hearted, as it was intended!

Tuna and mayo, separate or in combination on a potato is the abomination. The idea of potato, cheese, mayo and potato is mind-bogglingly horrible.

I'm impressed. Really, I'm jealous. I can't remember the last time someone handed my a plate of food that I hadn't prepared (not in a restaurant).

It's not really funny though, it's depressing that some men use the fact that they are male to be shit and stuff like this.

I would have thrown the bloody thing at DH.

That’s how he used to cook a tuna melt ‘tater when he was behind enemy lines in the Chindits.

And you’re sneering at it!

Miserable fuckers are back I see. Can't even post obviously light hearted threads now without the joy suckers coming and pissing all over it

I think you should cut all contact with his mother, she has let you, and him, down badly by not teaching him how to do a baked spud

His mother?! How dare you, why couldn't his father have taught him?

I would love it if my husband was that thoughtful!

Oh that old chestnut. Yes let's all make a joke about the menz who can't be arsed making a proper job of a jacket potato meal.

The OP might be being light hearted but I guess she wasn't too happy about it and nor should she.. there's no excuse for such laziness.

Miserable fuckers are back I see

Fine, all us ‘miserable fuckers’ are wrong. It’s hilarious the op came home from a long day at work to find a rare dinner made for her, only for it to be a couple of ingredients lazily chucked onto a cooked potato. Her poor husband, as a non-cook, how was he meant to know what a tuna mayo baked potato should look like? Lool! If the op ever has to do the washing again, maybe she should use a dishwasher tab instead of a detergent one, I mean it’s not her job, so how would she know??

Wow i thought this was going to be a light hearted thread. Just reading some of the comments and it seems like alot of people didn't quite grasp that.
