Ok ladies - AIBU or not?

My family (parents and sis) are visiting for the weekend, and whilst tidying the house I sent DH out to get provisions for lunch. Knowing that he needs slightly more direction I suggested nice rolls and a selection of meets and cheeses, salads etc.
DH has just walked in the door with....5 microwave curries
His reason? They are quick and easy!!Hmm...well I'm sorry but how does microwaving 5 separate meals for 8 minutes each allow us to all eat together at lunch?
Besides which, he KNOWS what I feel about microwave meals (that they are cancer inducing). And we already had a "discussion" when he went out to the shops a few months ago with my shopping list and came back with a week's worth of ready meals (along with the classic line "I know you sent me out with a list of ingredients, but I thought it was more sensible to get the ingredients ready made than have the hassle of cooking". As if he does the cooking anyway!!)
So AIBU??

Madamez is right, he is doing this deliberately. Either consciously manipulative intending you won't ask him again, or just not bothering to pay attention because what you say isn't important. Either way, he's being bloody rude and disrespectful.

We call this the 'do you put salt in that' manoeuvre. If people keep trying to get you to make tea, and you don't want to, just ask alarming questions (or fuck it up) until they never ask you again.
