AIBU?

So rude of DH

We briefly visited my grandmother earlier to take her some shopping. She got a big box of broken biscuits out and DH ripped into the box, complained that it was “full of custard creams” and just started throwing them onto the coffee table saying “these can get to fuck” whilst hunting for a specific type of biscuit. It’s not the swearing that got me ( my grandma swears more than I do) but literally chucking unwanted biscuits onto the table?? I told him I thought he was being rude and he says I am over reacting as my grandma wasn’t bothered but she clearly wasn’t happy as she marched into the kitchen to grab a packet of Ringtons instead. Aibu thinking he was rude?? I’d never do that in front of his family. He’s refusing to acknowledge it now and has got a face on over it. I’m so embarrassed.

So he touched all the biscuits, even the ones he didn't want to eat?

I've been teaching my 6yo not to do that.

Yes, extremely rude!

I doubt she’d want him fingering all the biscuits let alone throwing them onto the table so nobody can have them. What’s wrong with saying ‘I’m not a fan of custard creams, do you have any others?’

Does he perform the "down-to-earth diamond in the rough" bloke act everywhere he goes?

Good storytelling though, the scene described did make me laugh.

Ringtons do the most amazing brazil nut biscuits. They're dangerous because they just jump into your mouth Sad

She threw the discarded biscuits away.

It’s not totally out of character, he calls her snotty nose and she calls him “stupid sod”. He tells her her ringtons coffee tastes like hot chocolate and is disgusting etc

Weirdly she’s very fond of him. Not many people get to see those ringtons biscuits. I’m just annoyed that I feel he took it too far. There’s having a laugh with someone and there is being obnoxious.

Anyone behaving like that in this house would have all biscuit privileges removed immediately and quite possibly a clip round the earhole as well

Hope it wasn't the ringtons double choc cookies that she brought out they are lethal and not for sharing with custard cream abusers

That's not just rude and bad mannered, it's pissing territory 'I can do this to you'.

I hope that he remembered licking every single bisquit he took out on the table, just to make sure any virus or bacteria stuck after being touched and put down 🤮.

All in all he is disrespectful and clearly showing it. Is it against you or your grandmother?

Just seen your update. He's like a toddler looking for boundaries. I would never take him anywhere.

Your DGM was being unreasonable to palm off broken biscuits onto her visitors. Shows you just where you are on her pecking order IMO.

The biscuits are meant to be broken, they’re bought like that.

Blimey. I'm trying to imagine this happening, but I can't.

Me neither. Maybe we just don’t have a good imaginations.

I worked on a biscuit factory once. Taking home big bags of broken biscuits was the best part of the job.

Your boyfriend is a arsehole.

Ringtons ginger biscuits are ace. Also a fan of their Earl Grey teabags and coffee bags.

@BigBadVoodooHat

Is this the same poster who has been relentlessly starting weird, vaguely gibberishy threads over the last few days ~ ones about unexpected gifts, drunk plumbers, rogue tenants, etc? Confused

Ugh. I should have done AS.
