DH is making himself ill because he always has to be right

Whereisthechicken · 25/12/2019 12:27

After a bit of a hunt this morning, I've just located a whole raw chicken in our car after DH obviously forgot to bring it in with the rest of the food shopping on the morning of the 23rd December (I had gone out to a different shop for a few more little bits in my car so he was left to do the unpacking from his car).

I am clearly annoyed and insisting the slightly green chicken is bad now but he is adamant it's fine as leaving the chicken in a cold car for two days is as good as leaving it in the fridge apparently. No idea on the temp here but it's been raining/a bit sunny here in Wiltshire during these last two days.

I'm certain he's just saying this because he's a stubborn person who, if I said the grass was green he'd argue that it was pink. Doesn't do it to anyone else, just me. He always has to be right. I've said the chicken is bad and so he's insisting it's perfectly fine to eat and is now cooking it. I'm pissed off knowing there's a strong possibility he's going to ruin boxing day being sat on the toilet the whole time which is just great when we have two young children. Is he bu for eating it or aibu (it is safe and I should leave him to it)?

Make sure you say I told you so through the bathroom door Grin

I have never before been so interested in whether someone develops the runs. Happy Xmas!

I’d be making a banner out of leftover wrapping paper and bog roll that spelled out “I told you so”, and hanging sachets of Dioralyte off it like bunting. Said festive festooning would be up in the toilet right now. But that’s just me.

Why are so many men like this?! I just don't get it

Watching. And waiting....the idiot.

Jillyhilly · 25/12/2019 14:16

Insanity.

NumbersStation · 25/12/2019 14:19

Perhaps he enjoys shitting himself inside out?

He will be just be clutching the sides of the bowl. Biscuit

Onset time is from 2 - 24 hours, depending upon the particular bacteria or toxins produced.

TheDarkPassenger · 25/12/2019 14:22

Following for the shitting

BoswellSolver · 25/12/2019 14:22

Happy Shartmas to you!

Rachelfromfriends1 · 25/12/2019 14:25

OP clearly said he isn’t eating it so not sure why people are getting excited about Shitmas? He’s having the sausage and gammon for lunch.

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/12/2019 14:25

He'll be apologising whilst begging for vaseline for his ringpiece before long.
What a dick.

Lillygolightly · 25/12/2019 14:26

Oh dear

PanannyPanoo · 25/12/2019 14:26

We drove home last night behind a gritting lorry and said how weird it was as the temp was 9 degree according to the car. We are in Bradford on Avon so probably similar temps to rest of Wilts. He is likely to get extremely ill.

Wereallsquare · 25/12/2019 14:27

Really hope for your sake that he will be alright. What a foolish and selfish thing to do.

pinkstripeycat · 25/12/2019 14:27

Bad chicken is not just a day on the loo. It can mean a salmonella trip to the hospital for a few days

BeardofZeus · 25/12/2019 14:28

Blimey that is the height of stubbornness

Minky35 · 25/12/2019 14:28

Let him eat the naffing chicken then. And then he can shit himself to the far side of fuckery 😂😂

Lol got to admire this blokes ‘determination’ or stupidity to prove whether he’s right or not!

Hide the loo rolls, just leave one with half a dozen sheets

I am a good safety expert and would advise not to cook and eat it. Proper cooking will kill all food Bourne pathogenic bacteria on a chicken left at that temp for a couple of days, but, and it is a big but, most bacteria can be transmitted airborne and cross contamination on surfaces and utensils so bringing a heavily bacteria ladened chicken into the kitchen where there is ready to eat food is just not worth the risk. Proper food poisoning is very serious and can cause liver and kidney failure so it is just not worth the risk.
