DP and I are on holiday abroad. We've had a packed schedule doing a lot of activities together, so today we decided to each have some time to do some individual activities and have a bit of me time. DP is going on a birdwatching tour (yawn) and I've opted to have a day by the pool and getting some spa treatments 😀

Yesterday we bought some snacks because DP will be out the whole day today from 5am to 5pm so he wanted a few bits to keep him going, plus I wanted some cookies to enjoy on my "me-time" day. I bought some delicious looking choc chip macadamia cookies and DP got some fruit, Oreos and a large bag of crisps.

I just got back to the hotel room to discover that DP has taken ALL the snacks with him, including my cookies. He saw me buy them and knew they were mine. Plus the greedy bastard already had his own snacks. I just messaged him to ask if he took them and his reply was, "I was hungry". No apology at all!

He is usually kind and generous but occasionally has moments of thoughtlessness. I am now suffering from Severe Cookie Disappointment. Usually I wouldn't care but this was meant to be a "treat" day for me, it's rare that I get to have a day of self indulgence like this so I'm annoyed. I guess I could go and buy some more but it's a million degrees outside.

Am I being petty and unreasonable, or should I start thinking of creative ways to punish the greedy fucker for being a cookie thief? GrinGrinGrin

Just call it what it is.. a baked , sweet circular chocolate chip and macadamia condiment which is chewy. ..

Bakie would be more accurate actually. I hate that word too! 😂 I think it must be cutesy words that I hate on reading this.

@MiniGuinness, I used strikethrough as it was tongue in cheek. I always thought of 'cookie' being an Americanism (whether or not it's used frequently or not on your side of the pond)

OP if ever a thread justified suggesting you LTB this is it Grin

Crikey ... and accusations of racism? In relation to a baked snack? Good lord.
