My f****** brother

He does this absolutely dickish thing when presented with a plate of roast dinner where he picks up a roast potato and drops it back on the plate to hear the sound it makes and therefore, he thinks, how crispy it is. Then he gives the chef a mark out of 10. I just want to rip his fucking head off! He has never cooked a meal for me in his whole adult life and he had the nerve to nitpick every single bit of the roast I’ve cooked him. And I am a good cook! This is not one of those meals you see on Slimming Hurled or mealsforpeopleyouhate. I am so angry! Even if the meal is gross surely you are polite and grateful to the chef?!

🤣 just don't serve him any.

ScarlettSing · 17/04/2022 19:52

🤣🤣🤣
If my brother rated my roasties any less an 8 I'd kick him out the door.
Sorry this funny op

40 and still waiting 🤷🏼‍♀️

ScarlettSing · 17/04/2022 19:52

Also I wasn't expecting this from the title 🤣

How annoying. I'd want to chuck one at him but that would be a waste of a lovely roastie.

nocoolnamesleft · 17/04/2022 19:56

The first time he did this would be the last time he'd get any of my lovely roasties.

Iflyaway · 17/04/2022 19:58

Why are you putting up with his abuse??

Tell him to fuck off and block him.

We deserve being treated with kindness in life.

HellyR · 17/04/2022 20:00

Give him a still-frozen Aunt Bessie's next time, see what sound that makes when splatted onto a plate.

steff13 · 17/04/2022 20:01
  1. Next time serve him his own plate of potatoes, burned, and ask him if they're crispy enough.
  2. Stop inviting him for dinner.
WildFlowerBees · 17/04/2022 20:01

What did he say when you told him this annoys you?

TheRocketWillFly · 17/04/2022 20:16

He would have a potato between his eyes even before his potato landed on the plate.

PrincessInPyjamas · 17/04/2022 20:19

I'd have picked his plate up, swept the lot into the bin and kicked him out!

How utterly disrespectful! What did you do/say to him????

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 17/04/2022 20:21

From now on he’d be getting a puréed roast dinner.

Moochio · 17/04/2022 20:23

Have you told him it's really rude and annoying and makes you want to never cook for him again?

CarmenThePanda · 17/04/2022 20:24

Ugh, what a knob.

Tell him if he wants to handle his food, display terrible manners and pass judgment on the food he does it at his house, his cooking. Until then just stop being so irritating and rude.

Pantsomime · 17/04/2022 20:25

If he ever scores less than 10/10 ask him to tell you what his cooking tips are to get his to perfection- or just say that is so rude you’ve never cooked for me, don’t do that again if you expect to be invited back here -
He probably thinks he’s being amusing

Moochio · 17/04/2022 20:26

Chuck one at his head?

Heronwatcher · 17/04/2022 20:28

Erm, don’t cook for him? Or serve soup, with nothing droppable? Or glue the sodding potatoes down? Why women insist on taking this crap is utterly beyond me, the first time someone did that to me would be the last time they ate in my house.

ThinWomansBrain · 17/04/2022 20:29

it's really rude and annoying and makes you want to never cook for him again?
it's really rude and annoying and you will never cook for him again.
Twat.

Heyisforhorses · 17/04/2022 20:30

He's your brother, he knows it gets this reaction so he's never going to stop.

Don't do roast potatoes when you cook for him or don't react, instead give a massive thanks for a rating.

This wouldn't irritate me to your extent but if it did i just wouldnt give him them.

VeganGod · 17/04/2022 20:31

Did he give you a bad score? 😬

MadMadMadamMim · 17/04/2022 20:31

I'd have said calmly You are such a fucking ingrate. I will never invite you for dinner again. I've marked you as 0/10 as a guest. Now eat your dinner in silence and then fuck off.

And I'd have meant it.

Craftycorvid · 17/04/2022 20:32

How annoying! Is he 12? I’m with the pp who suggested the still-frozen Aunt Bessie’s spuds. He clearly thinks he’s being hilariously endearing - he’d be wearing his dinner as a hat if he came to my house.

Litt1eDorrit · 17/04/2022 20:34

Don’t invite him to dinner again.
