DH and his obscenity

109 replies

BaylisAndHardon · 02/11/2020 20:34

When DH picks a chocolate from the box, he just dives in and picks any without even looking at the little chocolate menu card.

AIBU to think that this is completely obscene behaviour? Should I LTB?

It is not acceptable.
He should be leaving your favourites well alone.

Not just scooping them up along with everything else.

@PatriciaPerch

mine and one of my sons, dives in, has a bite and it they don't like it they chuck it in the food recycling it annoys me so much
Oh I couldn’t be doing with that! Maybe give them their own box of something cheap & cheerful, and keep something special for yourself!

I like getting rid of the crap ones first before eating the best ones. Next time pick out the good ones - let him have the crap ones. Hopefully he wouldn't notice Wink

JaffaCake70 · 02/11/2020 21:57

LTB. There's no way back from this.

I dont like chocolate but I do have an addiction to Skittles. And they HAVE to be eaten in flavour order, least fave to best. So.....Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow and finishing up with the lushness of Green.

Tell me that Green is everyones favourite flavour?!

giantangryrooster · 02/11/2020 21:59

Ah, I hate the card readers, faffing endlessly. For heaven sakes just pick a piece and give me the box ( no please here, get a move on its chocolate).

nosswith · 02/11/2020 22:00

Do you think he can recognise by the shape and is trying to keep it secret from you?

Shoppingwithmother · 02/11/2020 22:02

The worst thing about this is when you really like some of the chocolates and not others, it’s heartbreaking to see someone who doesn’t care which one they have throw your favourite one down their throat with gay abandon right before your eyes!

Shoppingwithmother · 02/11/2020 22:03

No, Pyongyang - that’s wrong - purple are the best- fact!

Magpiecomplex · 02/11/2020 22:05

@PyongyangKipperbang I'm sorry, you have that order almost completely backwards. Everyone knows that red Skittles are the best.

Tell you what, let's set up a Skittles swap club. I'll eat the red and orange ones and send you the rest!

That works!

I'll take your yellows and greens and we will send @Shoppingwithmother our purples!

Win/Win/Win!

Lisa78Lemon · 02/11/2020 22:11

But what if he were to get shudders a Turkish Delight?
He's a bolder man than I.

Shoppingwithmother · 02/11/2020 22:11

I’m in!!!

NC4Now · 02/11/2020 22:17

But what if he lands on a strawberry cream?! Russian roulette, man....

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 02/11/2020 22:18

No, no, no, this all kinds of wrong. My mum trained my Dad properly so that he only ever got the chocolates that she didn't like (the toffee ones mainly as they got stuck in her dentures) and he never complained, the poor bugger, and was grateful for the dregs. Needless to say I followed my Mum's example and trained my own gentleman callers the same way.

NC4Now · 02/11/2020 22:19

I knew my husband was a keeper when he told me he likes the soft centres but isn’t keen on toffee or nuts.

@Mulhollandmagoo - ☺️ shooting's too good for 'em

Poppynit · 02/11/2020 22:20

I voted YABU because, although it’s unacceptable behaviour, it’s sometimes necessary. In my house, once you open the chocolates they’re gone within 10 minutes. You need to just dive in. Even if you get an orange or strawberry creme, it adds to the drama. It’s a dangerous game, but a game I love to play.

Wiredforsound · 02/11/2020 22:21

LTB, and phone the police. That’s seriously freaky behaviour. Everyone knows that perusing the menu is the best bit of having a box of chocolates (and making sure you get all the caramel ones before anyone has a chance to get their mitts on them).

SenorFrog · 02/11/2020 22:22

OMG how alluring, I've always liked a bad boy!

AdoraBell · 02/11/2020 22:25

OMG that’s disgusting OP

Definitely leave him, but kill him first. That’ll learn him.

IckyPop · 02/11/2020 22:25

@wowfudge

He is nowhere near as heinous as the person who raids the second layer for their favourites when there are chocolates left on the top layer.
🙋‍♀️ that'd be me. Take no prisoners when it comes to the good chocs!
AriesTheRam · 02/11/2020 22:28

Does he do it with revels too?

bobby335 · 02/11/2020 22:29

Does he realise he could end up with a nougat or worse still, a Turkish delight? Madness.

Yep. That's the real crime here!

If he doesn't mind which he has, he can have all the 'orrid ones!,
