AIBU to have been sarky to DP about doritos

299 replies

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 14:30

NC because his mums on here.
I decided to make us nachos which I then regretted because messing around with making chili, guacamole, salsa, grating cheese etc was really pissing me off when I just wanted to chill today actually.

So Im at final stage laying it all out and melting the cheese on top when dp comes behind me and rubs his hands down my sides (ugh) and then steals a posh dorito (UGH) and says 'these any good then?'. I didnt reply and he said 'oh yeah, they ARE good!' and i said 'im so relieved they meet his majestys standards'.

Then we had an argument, he accused me of being sarky, and I said I was pissed off at having to cook on a sunday actually. Btw, if I didnt cook his solution would probably be a bowl of cereal (slow clap).

So he can go to work on a Sunday but you are angry because you chose to cook on a Sunday?

Fastandfree · 13/10/2019 15:54

No one has really answered the important question yet, what's a posh dorito?

Sorry op but you were being unreasonable. Hope your husband gets a macdonalds on the way to work

BraveGoldie · 13/10/2019 15:54

@WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles "angry nachos with a side order of martyr guacamole". 🤣🤣🤣

This thread is making my day.....

MartyrGuacamole · 13/10/2019 15:54

I sort of get what you mean although it seems you're making a big deal of a nothing situation. Tell him what his days are to cook, don't let him away with not preparing a meal and chill out. I made a roast dinner today but dh made burgers and salad and coleslaw for everyone yesterday so no one feels hard done by. Whoever cooks washes up, that way you get a whole day off when it's not your turn.

Shinyletsbebadguys · 13/10/2019 15:55

Well maybe human beans have different rules to the rest of us Grin

Look OP I get the irrational bitchy aspect....I have tendencies that way most definitely but you are being ridiculous.

There are times I dont want to be touched but shockingly I accept DP is not a mind reader. One day he'll hug me from behind and he will get a cwtch, another I'll huff a bit , neither of us takes it personally.

And frankly my backside , making salsa and guacamole is hardly slaving away.

Basically yes you were an arse, rather than accept , like all of us you were an arse, you are now trying to blame him.

Accept you had a moment and get on with it. If he was being lazy tell him , dont throw your toys out of the pram.

@SoupDragon He sits on the coffee table because theres some kind of problem with the controller and he cant use it without being plugged into the PS. So he sits on the coffee table so hes nearer and can plug it in.
He actually BROKE my coffee table in my last place when I was living alone doing exactly this (luckily it didn't really matter because that table was one I found that someone had fly tipped and this one we have now he made as a replacement, its proper wood).

Shameless placemarking

This is a brilliant thread thank you op 🤣🤣

Wonkybanana · 13/10/2019 15:56

OP I mean this kindly. Next Sunday, you and DP go out for lunch. It'll be better for both your blood pressures. And if the avocado's hard, it's not your problem.

In all fairness I do love him and hes a good guy. I'd just like him to cook every now and then. Maybe I'll ask him directly

PoshNachosButJustDoritos · 13/10/2019 15:59

Yes maybe you should Hmm

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 13/10/2019 15:59

This thread is amazing!

Change of subject but you can get 2/3 metre long PlayStation cables for a couple of quid. Cheaper than having to buy a new coffee table and probably better for his back.

Wonkybanana · 13/10/2019 15:59

And now I've seen your explanation (x post), if you go out, in most places you'll find you get a table to share between you and a chair each. No-one will have to move anything.

recklessruby · 13/10/2019 16:02

Yes I think you should just ask him. Men dont like hints or passive aggressive martyrdom.
If this was 2017 i would think your were my ds s gf. She used to get angry "cooking" too.
The moods are one of the reasons she s the ex gf.

John1971 · 13/10/2019 16:02

Have you tried Pringles?

LlamaPjama · 13/10/2019 16:03

@WhenISnappedAndFarted - not even a couple of quid - the OP got the coffee table for free! Maybe that's why nachos are posh? Hmm

Ffs sounds like you’re a joy to live with

@recklessruby Maybe your "D"S could've got his finger out and done a bit of cooking then.

itreallyisanicefence · 13/10/2019 16:06

Hmm I kind of get it but I don't really like men as a rule so wouldn't make nachos for one. Let him eat cereal next time?

Derbee · 13/10/2019 16:07

Surely you share the responsibility of making meals? When it’s your turn, don’t complain. When it’s his turn, enjoy your food. HTH

Queenoftheashes · 13/10/2019 16:07

First of all, I’m definitely going to make nachos now.
Secondly, it sounds like he’s a garden-variety irritating man who had probably done some pre-irritating before this minor argument. The kitchen thing is annoying - my P came in earlier and hugged me while I was pouring the kettle and I got hot water on my tits. If I’m doing something in the kitchen he needs to stay out of my way.

Bourbonbiccy · 13/10/2019 16:08

So it was more like my way of saying "can you move".
Why not just say " can you move"

You sound quiet hard work today to be honest.

I don't know why it would annoy you that your hubby touches you whilst you cook, or nicks a nacho but if it does tell him.

If you didn't want to cook, just order a take out, don't be an angry little martyr

jaseyraex · 13/10/2019 16:08

Download the just eat app, OP. Sundays should not be this difficult.

butterybiscuitbasic · 13/10/2019 16:09

No need to tell him directly op - just explain through the medium of angry cooking.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 13/10/2019 16:09

You decided to give yourself the hassle of making nachos and toppings from scratch, he complimented you and you took the hump? Jeezo

This, WTF lol
I could understand ya more if he'd insisted you made them and you didn't really want to but did anyway, but you said YOU decided to make them.

Next time get a taco way
