To think she could have bought more than one pear!

[PearyNice]

Just interested what other people think as clearly this isn't a huge issue!

We (DH and I) went to stay with my parents recently. We only manage to get everyone (siblings and parents) together once or twice a year so it was kind of a special occasion, everyone had taken leave, holiday atmosphere etc.

My parents went out to the local naice deli to get something for lunch and when they came back my mum was raving about how lovely the pears they had in looked/smelled and how much she really fancied a pear. Obviously after hearing this I really fancied a pear too! She then took out the shopping and proceeded to eat her pear with gusto telling us all how delicious it was. AIBU to think it's strange to only buy one lovely pear when you've got your whole family round?!

For context we'd not just rocked up expecting to be provided for - we went out to the shops when we arrived and bought nice things as well as essentials like milk for everyone to use/enjoy. We cooked dinner, treated everyone to a meal out etc.

YABU but only because I want a pear now!

Yabu

She'd been out to buy you all lunch and popped a pear in the bag. Eat it.

Would not have even registered with me

I now want a pear, but I don’t even particularly like pears, so therefore YABVVVU

Haha sorry! It sounded like a very nice pear as well - juicy and sweet and not floury at all. The holy grail of pears you might say 😂

It's quite bad manners to rave about a food in front of people while eating it and not offer to share.

I would be more amazed that anyone managed to find a decent pear at this time of year. The shops are invariably full of those horrible hard ones.

She should have prepared a cutted up pear

I totally misread the title and came here thinking it was about pearls. Or, rather, one single pearl.

She could have. Is she usually selfish or is this a one off?

I want a pear too now :(

I want a pear too. I have some downstairs but I'm too comfy in bed to go down and get one.

proceeded to eat her pear with gusto

Did she deliberately eyeball you whilst eating it?

Anyway who is Gusto?

Did she give him a bite?

TenPenceMix cutted up tastes nicer as well, missed a trick there!

What the heck does” cutted up “ mean ?
Do you mean cut up ?

Starting a MN thread over a fucking pear. Jesus Christ. YABVVVU.

Or even sliced ?

YABU but only coz I have just gotten into bed and now I have the urge to get up again to get a pear from the kitchen.

And what drinkygin said , with less swearing 😇

I want a pear now too. All your fault op. All I have are some reasonable grapes, shrivelled up satsumas and apples.

Cutted up pear it should be in classics

What the heck does” cutted up “ mean ?
Do you mean cut up ?

‘Cutted up pear’ is a phrase from an oft-quoted thread in classics

It’s used often by name changers to show longevity “Name changed, but naice ham, Pom Bears, Cutted up pear...”

Sometimes you go shopping and fancy a little something for yourself. If she'd have bought 12 you'd have all wondered why she assumed you wanted pears.
