So here we are in sunny Menorca celebrating a friend’s big birthday. In a villa with a pool , table tennis , pool table, beer in the fridge, music. Arrived Friday and so far every night they’ve been out for a last beer after a night out. So ...... they went shopping to get food for a bbq 4 hours ago ... are we being unreasonable

Ah, I voted YANBU - why can the public never get this voting thing right? Wink

FancyAPint · 18/06/2019 18:37

OP are you also pissed!?

ConcreteUnderpants · 18/06/2019 18:48

Oh OK. Thanks, Lime. I missed the update. Probably because I was still trying to understand what the fuck the original post was on about...

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 18/06/2019 18:49

OP it's not Twitter, you can actually type as many characters as you want OP Grin

For some reason I have an image in my mind of OP sat on a sun lounger, pint of sangria in hand drunkenly shouting out "Drink! Feck! HUSBANDS!"

I do have a vote button (smug) and I've voted YABU because I'm still not 100% clear what the crack is.

Shitsandgigglez · 18/06/2019 18:50

@sqirrelfriends that's DEFINITELY what it's for if you're doing it properly

origamiunicorn · 18/06/2019 20:05

I think we need 3 buttons, YABU, YANVU and WTF

LimeKiwi · 18/06/2019 20:15

I have the ability to press yay or nay but not the actual option to start a poll, it must be very randomly rolled out across the site Grin
Yes to a WTF button lol

This is the best thing since sliced bread.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 18/06/2019 21:11

Just like real life, this thread.

I have a vote but I have no fucking idea what's going on.

Yabbers · 18/06/2019 21:36

Husbands sneaking off for time to themselves?

Torrid affair.

Eistigi · 18/06/2019 21:51

This really made me chuckle!! Grin

tenlittlecygnets · 18/06/2019 22:07

This is a shitty thread to have a voting button on, as I have no shagging clue what the op is on about. So on that basis they are BU.

YouTheCat · 18/06/2019 22:10

So the husbands went off to buy food for a barbecue and have come back, many hours later, pissed?

I'm presuming you've been left with the kids, waiting.

YANBU, OP. It is your holiday too. Could you leave them with the kids tomorrow and bugger off to get pissed and return the favour?

why are you not also pissed as a fart?

Why are you assuming that she isn't?

pazwaz70 · 18/06/2019 22:26

The Husbands have gone for BBQ food and have obviously called in every pub on the way.

Blankspace4 · 18/06/2019 22:35

If I was a “husband” I’d also be escaping for the pub and going AWOL at every given opportunity if this was the quality of intelligible conversation available from (presumably) “the wives”....Hmm

Usuallyinthemiddle · 18/06/2019 22:42

Oh my word. This has me laughing like an idiot! It's wonderful.

I've got a Mad Men kinda theme to it in my head...

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 18/06/2019 22:45

Why are you assuming that she isn't?

Because she is angry that they are! Grin she could hardly be angry at them if she was also pissed as a fart!

StoneofDestiny · 18/06/2019 22:53

Must be a boring celebration if you are on mumsnet!

LimeKiwi · 18/06/2019 22:56

Ah see we can tell who the cleverer posters on here are lol, that's it!Grin

Sounds like what DP and I got up to when we were staying at his Mum's one Christmas. After four days of having my mug and teabag snatched away to add a fuckton of bloody milk 'for' me, then it being taken away and washed up when I hadn't finished it, being super nice to his lovely but very senile grandmother, who couldn't remember who is was (but in fairness, she only called me by his XW's name once and when MIL corrected her, she said 'oh, good, I never liked her anyway' Grin), constant soap operas with a continual commentary on them, we politely said we'd pop out to the shop to get some snacks and have a walk.

Five hours later, we rolled in from the pub, having met one of his schoolmates doing almost exactly the same. But at least she wasn't going hungry or waiting for us to get food.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 18/06/2019 23:03

Grin I’m also not even partially convinced I’m right. OPs posts tell two different stories simultaneously.

Towelsareblue · 18/06/2019 23:05

I might vote YABU for the simple reason that it's a crap bit of Dial gue - dialogue even...

IvanaPee · 18/06/2019 23:06

Husbands!
