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?

I can’t stand this, you just end up with half eaten ones being thrown over!

DuckonaBike · 02/11/2020 22:37

I love Turkish Delight and now I really want one. Quite partial to an orange crime too. Does that make me some sort of pervert?

I admire your DH’s daring attitude.

DuckonaBike · 02/11/2020 22:38

creme not crime though some people may regard them as a crime.

DahliaMacNamara · 02/11/2020 22:40

Anything that arrives as a family gift, he can fill his boots, and I don't care how carelessly he chooses them. My proper handmade chocolatier delights, it's mitts off, since he eats them with the same care as he'd give to a square of Dairy Milk. To be fair, I don't touch his personal chocs either. He just doesn't get many of those.

Your OH is some sort of deviant. There is no other explanation.

For fellow chocolate cream lovers, may I recommend Aldi’s Christmas range? Orange creams, strawberry creams, aloe gin creams and several other flavours I haven’t tried yet. Delicious and £1.50 a box.

dolphinpose · 02/11/2020 22:59

Remove your favourite ones before offering to him as he clearly doesn't care if he ends up with strawberry creams.

Mcmole · 02/11/2020 23:08

Mine does the same and I hate it, especially when he realises he's picked one he doesn't even like that much (and I do!!) I like to savour the chocolates and part of the enjoyment is in the anticipation of them, and reading the description.

5zeds · 02/11/2020 23:17

I think he’s a God. How did you catch this devil may care maverick? Envy

EmilySpinach · 02/11/2020 23:23

Is his name Forrest by any chance?

BrightYellowDaffodil · 02/11/2020 23:27

N.b. Post above should read SLOE gin. Not aloe gin, that sounds revolting.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 02/11/2020 23:34

if he is that unfussy, present him with the ones you don't like.
Hide the truffles and chocolate marzipan.

DishingOutDone · 02/11/2020 23:43

Loving the kit kat picture. I want to do this. OP have you got any pictures of your DH's hand in a box just grabbing something, really hard? (rubs thighs)

Maddison12 · 03/11/2020 00:54

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?!

@PyongyangKipperbang
Oooh I do this. In reverse order though, red and purple being my favourites and the green ones I don't like so give them to OH or the bin if I'm in a mood with him

You BIN the green ones?!

I am generally a forgiving person but frankly you are no longer someone I can give time to.

My heart is hurting.

PyongyangKipperbang · 03/11/2020 01:05

15 yr old DS just came down and I asked whether it was ok to just dive in and he said (and I quote)

"NO! Is he a psychopath?! Everyone reads the map!"

Thedogscollar · 03/11/2020 01:08

@PyongyangKipperbang
Love it.🤣🤣🤣

Maddison12 · 03/11/2020 02:06

@PyongyangKipperbang
Sorry I'm still in shock from finding out someone actually likes the green ones best! How about swapping my greens for your reds? Would that go some way to making amends?

echt · 03/11/2020 03:48

This has reminded me that there used to be a poster called limebarrel on MN.

orangejuicer · 03/11/2020 03:54

@NC4Now

But what if he lands on a strawberry cream?! Russian roulette, man....
Then he's won, clearly?
Rollmopsrule · 03/11/2020 05:46

I like his approach to life

Susanwouldntlikeit · 03/11/2020 05:52

Oooooh, lime barrels were my absolute favourite,

Can I just say what a lovely thread this is.

Nobody needed to type "lighthearted" in massive letters and no sign of the miserable fuckers reminding us that violence is always wrong.

rebeccachoc · 03/11/2020 08:33

What a monster! Take all your faves out first so he doesn't accidentally dive on one of them then just leave him to it I say.

user1471538283 · 03/11/2020 08:35

I like the cut of his gib! I like a man who will eat anything!

TartanDMs · 03/11/2020 08:36

He is an animal! Grin
