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.

Mmm hmmm, please do elaborate on this fascinating occurrence!

Lightningrain · 23/09/2020 23:05

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

SmellyDogBed · 23/09/2020 23:09

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

Washinglinewench29 · 23/09/2020 23:09

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

giantangryrooster · 23/09/2020 23:09

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?

Shannith · 23/09/2020 23:11

@BigBadVoodooHat I though the same Hmm

giantangryrooster · 23/09/2020 23:11

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

Fatted · 23/09/2020 23:11

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

SmellyDogBed · 23/09/2020 23:13

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.

Just did a search, guess you are right. Wasted words Grin.

terrelontane · 23/09/2020 23:21

He sounds vile. I couldn’t be with someone like that.

TonytheDog · 23/09/2020 23:27

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.

Burnthurst187 · 23/09/2020 23:31

He sounds like a spoilt brat, circa 3 yrs old

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.
StephenKong · 23/09/2020 23:43

He sounds like a complete savage. Why do people think grown adults acting like chimps is entertaining?

CuppaZa · 23/09/2020 23:44

You married a rude, obnoxious man child. Winning

Topseyt · 23/09/2020 23:50

I think you have accidentally married a toddler!

EL8888 · 23/09/2020 23:51

Terrible manners. I think custard creams are shit and boring but l wouldn’t be rude like that
