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.

I literally do not know anyone who would behave like that unless they were pissed as a newt and not at a grannies house.

WorrierorWarrior · 23/09/2020 23:55

It is lucky for him he was not visiting my granny. She could swear like anything but she could not stand bad behaviour or language. She would have slapped his ear for that conduct.
Maybe you should try to find a finishing school for this child!

Italiangreyhound · 23/09/2020 23:59

I'd be embarrassed if my toddler did that. So you must feel mortified.

What an idiot.

Thanks
FourDecades · 24/09/2020 00:05

I find that an utterly bizarre way to behave!

This made me laugh so much, it's my new name. Imagine being so angry over a biscuit 😂😂

@Fatted

Your DGM was being unreasonable to palm off broken biscuits onto her visitors. Shows you just where you are on her pecking order IMO.
Boxes of broken biscuits are a thing. You buy them like that and then you get all sorts of biscuits. It's not like crumbs, it's just a bit battered. I haven't seen boxes of broken biscuits for sale in years

I’m on the fence. Granny is fond of him because he speaks his mind and is real. I dunno. People are so highly strung these days. I think if she minded she would have probably told him to shove off home then. Maybe just let them get on with it. She sounds capable of putting him in his place

beachydreams · 24/09/2020 00:35

I had a chortle over “these can get to fuck”

Havaiana · 24/09/2020 00:42

Your grandma swears and they have nick names for each other.

She gave him her favourite Rington biscuits even though he calls them disgusting.

She’s fond of him (God knows why)even though he calls her snotty nose.

There’s no problem here, OP. Your grandma sounds more than capable of standing up for herself.

We used to be sent a box of broken biscuits every Xmas by my (very wealthy) paternal grandmother. Peak Freans. Mostly they tasted stale, but we didn't get many treats in those days so they got eaten.

I think your dh was rude, unless they were both laughing while he did it.

TitsOutForHarambe · 24/09/2020 01:12

Was he drunk?

MerchantOfVenom · 24/09/2020 01:19

You married him knowing full well what he’s like....

SeekingCoffee33 · 24/09/2020 01:33

Grin “these can get to fuck.”

😂 this is something people might think in their head, but they don’t say it out loud to granny.

And as for granny being rude given broken biscuits to visitors (someone wrote) I did lmao.

@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
@BigBadVoodooHat drunk plumber poster has different name?
Elsewyre · 24/09/2020 03:19

I could get it if it's a bit of a family in joke and the throwing was onto a plate/biscuit tin, but surely lobbing broken custard creams onto a table top makes a hell of a mess?

Elsewyre · 24/09/2020 03:23

Broken biscuits are ace though, a bit of mystery and a big bag usual full of the M&S/finest stuff as they use them to get rid of over production.

Got a 1kg bag once that was litteraly all caramel rockey bars with no wrappers Grin.

Weirdly I notice they're a middle class thing, my working class friends think theyre cheap

Inkpaperstars · 24/09/2020 03:59

Waste of perfectly good custard creams Hmm

thesecangettofuck · 24/09/2020 04:21

I really want a box of broken biscuits now. I really like a random selection.

Plesky · 24/09/2020 04:26

Are you married to Begbie from Trainspotting?

Kolsch · 24/09/2020 04:42

If he'd have done that in front of my grandmother, with her biscuits, she would probably have put them back in the box and then rammed said box up his arse sideways.
While telling him to get to fuck herself.
😂 At ops DH.

TheWho67 · 24/09/2020 04:50

Sounds very Royale family to me but I don't think even Jim would do that to Nana. Maybe make sarky comments when you got home. Unless it was a personal insult to offer him them, your poor Nan! He needs to learn some manners. Let him sulk, you know you're right.

HaggieMaggie · 24/09/2020 04:52

She buys broken biscuits (cheap) and Ringtons (not cheap). I wouldn’t have got the Ringtons out for him, there’s a reason she gave him the broken biscuits.

QueenOfPain · 24/09/2020 04:57

I want to see this made into a short sketch for TV.

yorkiepuddies · 24/09/2020 05:15

Urgh on saying 'Get to fuck'. What does that even mean? Is fuck an actual place now?
