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 Grin

Beans are an abomination. Off with your head

The buzz kills our out in force today. Whole heap of you have sticks up your arses today.
You really will use any excuse to tear people apart.

Op ignore the fun saps and plot some sort of starchy carbohydrate based revenge.
That's what I would do.
Or I would just wait until he got in the shower and throw wet tissue at him.
I'm very good at adulting Wink

I love baked beans... And cottage cheese. And Brussels sprouts. Yum.

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:23

Brussels....yes!!!

Pissedoffdotcom · 01/10/2018 18:24

Cottage cheese i don't mind. Beans are just boik...for years bean juice used to gip me right out. To the point i had to wear gloves to open a tin 🙄

PinguDance · 01/10/2018 18:25

You see, to me this meal just sounds flat out bad rather than ‘minor thing done differently’ like cheese before beans or whatever. And then there are the ‘lol men whaddatheylike’ responses which get people’s backs up. If op was like - then I put petrol in his diesel car lol I never usually fill it up you see - ppl would prob think it was stupid and how could she not have noticed.

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:26

So you don't experience that warm fuzzy feeling when you are eating your beans and suddenly a sausage pokes out.... truly a magical time to be alive

PinguDance · 01/10/2018 18:27

But I mean by all means if it’s funny to you what can anybody say - I’m just glad I don’t have to be in a relationship with someone like that.

Belina · 01/10/2018 18:28

Lol sounds absolutely disgusting

QueenOfMyWorld · 01/10/2018 18:29

Ltb that's A crime against spuds

Poodles1980 · 01/10/2018 18:29

@changedforpost I’d be upset if a sausage popped out during my dinner. It would put me right off my food!

Pissedoffdotcom · 01/10/2018 18:30

Changedforpost eeeeew 😂

Personally i'm glad i'm in a relationship with someone i can banter with about stupid things like crap food.
I did once put petrol in dps diesel car...because i don't usually drive his & mine is petrol. He laughed his face off then dealt with it.

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:31

poodle. Sniggering here more than I should be... Grin

SilverySurfer · 01/10/2018 18:32

Oh super, another professionally incompetent male Hmm

LemonysSnicket · 01/10/2018 18:33

Why can't a grown man cook a jacket potato?

Pathetic

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:33

Lightheartedness,laughter and generally having fun is my favourite bit about my relationship. Can't understand why anyone has took this thread so seriously. I think you all need to relax a bit.
Love to see your faces if I told you half the stuff my and my dp get up to Wink

LemonysSnicket · 01/10/2018 18:34

I do all the cooking at home but DP can still do it fairly well if need be ... and we've been together since 18yo...

AsAProfessionalFekko · 01/10/2018 18:34

I know grown women who can't either. One is a nuclear scientist (so I would have assumes could work a microwave).

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/10/2018 18:37

Padparad I can't do housework. I just can't. DH can't do childcare. He just can't. So we each have our own jobs.

Pissedoffdotcom · 01/10/2018 18:37

I know several woman who can't cook. Maybe they are lazy men in disguise 😱

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:37

Fekko do people actually microwave potatoes... now I would leave a man for that sort of sacrilege

Pissedoffdotcom · 01/10/2018 18:38

Oven baked potatoes take waaay too long!!! Micro zap all the way.
Same with scrambled egg...why faff about with a pan on the hob when you can jug it in the microwave!!!

Bodear · 01/10/2018 18:40

OP, I get it. It made me laugh. My husband once asked me to chop broccoli. Fortunately I didn’t ltb and we’re happy 10 years on and he looks after me in many ways. (And has now learned how to chop broccoli) Grin

Bodear · 01/10/2018 18:40

Asked me how to chop broccoli

Changedforpost · 01/10/2018 18:41

I don't even own a microwave. Seriously feel like I'm missing out on lots of nuclear treats.
