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)?

I'm in Wiltshire right now. It was 12 degrees here yesterday.

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

Omg yes! You absolutely must! Grin

Jeez. Serious cases of food poisoning can start in just a few hours so I bet he has an interesting night ahead. I can remember getting struck as a student after eating seafood from a market. I lost a stone and I was only seven stone to start with. Honestly have never felt so ill.

Thatnameistaken · 25/12/2019 18:27

I'm watching this with interest, I hope he's a rigourous hand washer...

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 25/12/2019 18:33

Proper food poisoning is very serious and can cause liver and kidney failure so it is just not worth the risk

I was going to post the same,he'd better hope he just gets the runs and nothing more serious.

He is BU obviously, not you.

And it's green 🤢🤢🤢

firstimemamma · 25/12/2019 18:35

He sounds like Homer Simpson when he was obsessed with that baguette sandwich and Marge kept trying to get rid of it!

Leave him to it and remove all toilet roll in house....petulant behaviour deserves a petulant response

ooh not clever, silly man

TildaTurnip · 25/12/2019 18:46

It’s not been anywhere near cold enough down here, although the frost overnight/this morning may save him.

Chociefish · 25/12/2019 18:46

Following this one😂. Sort of thing my ex would do. He regularly used to get dodgy guts from cooking stuff improperly or eating out of date food. Hope you and the dc manage to avoid any kind of bacteria fallout. Anti bac spray on door handles etc works wonders👍

Sadly, he may be lucky and get away with it in which case he will feel vindicated. Hopefully he will be a bit ill but not too ill.

HirplesWithHaggis · 25/12/2019 19:06

Posting for the update, hoping he's ok. Silly man.

Horehound · 25/12/2019 19:21

I hope he's severely ill, the idiot.

Why would you hope someone is ill @NorthernLightsInWinter?
Horrible person..

How exhausted you must be married to him.

Obviously keep the children away from it.
