Small chocolate bar

[SoapOperaFamily]

Who is BU here? We have a houseful of family today. DD went to the shops and offered to buy everyone a packet of sweets. Person A asked for a small chocolate bar, Person B said they didn’t want anything. DD got home and handed out the sweets. Person B asked Person A if they could break their bar of chocolate into 2 and give them a piece. Person A said they would like to eat this particular bar themselves, but there was more chocolate in the cupboard. Person B said they wanted a piece of Person A’s chocolate in particular. Person B was told they could have ordered their own bar if they wanted one, but Person B wanted a piece of Person A’s chocolate because they didn’t want a whole bar. Words were exchanged on both sides. Should Person A have shared, or should Person B have ordered their own bar?

He is watching what he eats so I think by not ordering/buying something for himself he thinks he's being good

That sounds like my kind of diet. 🤣

why's it only desserts and chips these vultures want? never hear of anyone saying, "I'll not order the peas, I'll just have some of yours",

Good point, Badger - and I would like to say, if anyone on here would like some of my kale, you are very, very welcome.

In fact - take it all. No - honestly. I don't mind. I'll risk scurvy for your sakes.

B is wrong.

Things like this remind me of that Gavin and Stacey scene:

@Emmak789 - Of course they could be the better person and just give a small piece and not be such a greedy guts but that's up to them.

Wow - and this is the type of manipulative language that CF's like B use to shame others, usually women, into giving in to the manipulation. Wanting to eat the small treat that you ordered is framed as being "a greedy guts".

@Elbeagle, I agree, no-one touches my creme brulee unless they have a death wish, I have a fork and am prepared to use it

I can’t get over your mum calling you a ‘selfish bitch’.

What a way to speak to someone. It’s awful.

I cant believe you're having to canvass people on here. I'm sure you knew the answer.
Sounds like you need to learn to have faith in your own judgement.

Slightly off topic, but whenever we go out with the IL’s they do this weird (IMO ) meal sharing/tasting thing. They’ll always ask everyone at the table if they want to try a bit of their food, then look expectantly for you to offer a bit of yours. Why?! Firstly, I don’t want to eat off FIL’s fork, secondly, I don’t want anyone to eat off mine, or to stick their fork in my food, and thirdly, if I wanted what they were having I’d have ordered it!

A should have shared...
NOT!

If someone offers to share that's one thing but you should never just help yourself, if you were offered something and you say no then you had your chance and you can't expect someone else to then share.
People like B are selfish

I gained weight when I was with XH because he'd eat, for example, a whole pack of biscuits in one go, or the chocolate I'd saved for later, or we'd buy a treat to share and if I didn't eat it when he was having his he'd eat all of it, so I ended up eating things I didnt really want else I'd miss out completely. He used to hover over my plate with a fork too, until I went ballistic at him.

Is person b my mom ?
Cant fucking stand when she does that!!!!!!! Why say no only to ask other for some ! No one wants to share food ever ! Unless there dishing up ! Only chocolate bar can not share between two even the big bars lol

Pressing matters today on Mumsnet as per.

Mum918 you don’t think being called a ‘selfish bitch’ by your mother is noteworthy?

B is an expectant bullying twat. No one should be forced into sharing anything! Plus it’s a chocolate bar ffs!

Pressing matters today on Mumsnet as per.

So scroll on by. I didn't think MN was an outreach branch of Prime Minister's Question Time.

B is a greedy rude twat

Who asked you to comment? Or even to read the thread

Always buy a large bar of chocolate....

Person B is selfish and entitled. It's like people who expect to eat off your plate because your food looks nicer than theirs. So annoying.

Nobody around me would dare to steal my chips or chocolate because not only would they not get the stolen food, they'd also lose half an arm between my teeth.

It's something that never fails to enrage me, reading about selfish, greedy bastards expecting someone else's fair share. Food, in particular, makes me want to get the pitchfork and flaming torch out.

So horrible that you’re mum said that to you

My mum has always been person B in a restaurant. She’ll say she’s too full and doesn’t want a pudding and then pinches a bit of everyone’s with the end result she actually ends up eating more pudding than anyone else. I don’t let her do it anymore.

why's it only desserts and chips these vultures want? never hear of anyone saying, "I'll not order the peas, I'll just have some of yours", how mad would that sound? Because, of course, it's about virtue signalling.

Yes, this!!!! I would happily share my peas with anyone who asks, but keep your mitts off the good stuff

Why couldn't person B order the bar then share out what they didn't eat or put it in the fridge.

because chocolate should NEVER go in a fridge. Surely everyone knows that? First rule of chocolate - all sizes are single serving, second rule of chocolate - it should never be put in the fridge.
