Small chocolate bar

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?

Person B sounds like my OH.

Constantly says he doesn't want anything from the shops then trys and eats half of mine..he gets told to jog on, it's shitty!

B sounds like a pita

FudgeBrownie2019 · 17/11/2019 15:21

B is BU. If you don't order something you have to live with the consequences when the delivery arrives and the other people get delicious-looking treats and you have only despair to chew upon.

OlaEliza · 17/11/2019 15:21

Person B would be told to get fucked if I was person A.

BendNSnap · 17/11/2019 15:24

Person B sounds like my xbf. What a dick!

TiceCream · 17/11/2019 15:24

B is a dick. If they wanted a chocolate bar they had their chance to order one. You don’t get to take someone else’s chocolate just because you want it.

OlaEliza · 17/11/2019 15:24

I don't think person B is the OH, I bet it's the MIL.

iklboo · 17/11/2019 15:24

If I were A I'd be like the French & Saunders Wagon Wheel sketch and shove the whole chocolate bar in my mouth in one go.

22Giraffes · 17/11/2019 15:27

B is rudeeee. They didn't want anything so tough!

Branleuse · 17/11/2019 15:32

is person B a small child?

APerkyPumpkin · 17/11/2019 15:32

Person B is such an annoying dickhead aren't they?

Is it you OP?

SoapOperaFamily · 17/11/2019 15:35

I’m A. B is my mum. She said she didn’t want a whole bar, just a bit of mine, and called me a selfish bitch. Which is a tragically predictable turn of events. We have a complicated relationship.

I hate sharing my food unless I want to.

B is unreasonable.

Tinkobell · 17/11/2019 15:41

Oh dear! I'm often Person B, particularly when the scenario in question refers to deserts in a restaurant 😕

BlueJava · 17/11/2019 15:42

B has issues!! I'm sorry she called you that, no one deserves that especially from their mum over chocolate!

OlaEliza · 17/11/2019 15:44

Then you behave like an arsehole tinkerbel.

What bar was it op and what bars did you have in the cupboard?

AnyOldPrion · 17/11/2019 15:45

That’s really unpleasant OP. Sounds like she deliberately set up the situation as well. Is she always this toxic?

Howlovely · 17/11/2019 15:47

No one likes a Person B.
Your mum sounds absolutely horrible. What a cow. This annoys absolutely everybody, apart from your mum and Tinkobell it appears. Is it because they don't want to pay for it themselves?
It's not on at all and her namecalling is really spiteful.

bluebeck · 17/11/2019 15:50

YANBU

Your mother can easily go and get her own chocolate. I HATE IT when people do this.

This sounds like the tip of the iceberg though Sad

category12 · 17/11/2019 15:51

Why do you do it, Tinkobell?

ClaraThePigeon · 17/11/2019 15:51

Oh dear! I'm often Person B, particularly when the scenario in question refers to deserts in a restaurant 😕

Why? Why do you do that? I'm genuinely curious.

marshmallowss · 17/11/2019 15:52

What was the chocolate bar?

Ellmau · 17/11/2019 15:53

With people like B (and they usually have a history of it - I've got one too) I always get an extra one just in case. (And then I've got a secret extra one if they don't behave as I expect they will - don't tell them about it.)

TroysMammy · 17/11/2019 15:54

Person B is a twat. If they only wanted a bit of chocolate then they should have had a bar themselves and exercise some self control.

BlackCatSleeping · 17/11/2019 15:57

My Ex was person B. I feel so vindicated reading this thread.

Good on you for standing up to your mum, OP.
