Stolen chocolate

Could people give me their thoughts on this please. I bought myself a large family sized bar of chocolate yesterday. My son and partner came round today. His partner went into the kitchen to make a call came back in the they both said bye and left. I went to get chocolate later on and it had gone with the wrapper in the bin. My sons partner must have eat it said nothing then left.
Aibu being annoyed x

Just tell your son that you had been really looking forward to your chocolate and appears his partner has scoffed it. Explain wrapper in bin after phone call taken in kitchen.

Tell son to tell partner not to help themselves without asking, as its extremely rude to just help yourself!!

Yanbu, but let it go. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. If your ds is happy in the relationship, that's what matters.

BMW6 · 29/07/2022 21:25

Why would you give a shit about her taking offence! She has no consideration for others!!

We don't have that sort of relationship she would really take offence if I said that. I don't want to upset her but it does seem a bit odd x

Well to be honest she's took the right royal pee. She clearly needs putting in the picture about the ethics of stuffing her face with a whole bar of chocolate that wasn't hers.

Ring up your son and ask him to speak to the chocolate robber about replacing it.

Floofboopsnootandbork · 29/07/2022 22:03

She ate a whole family size bar of chocolate in 15 mins?! 😳 That’s kinda impressive haha

If you don’t have the kind of relationship where you can turn it into a joke then you most likely don’t have the kind of relationship where it’s okay to open up the fridge and help yourself to something. Can you text your son and ask about it?

1982mommaof4 · 29/07/2022 22:08

I'd be fuming, espy if I'd made a cuppa to go with it!

catandcoffee · 29/07/2022 22:11

She would take offence ....come on OP don't be a doormat.
How dare she go in your fridge and steal your chocolate... that's taking the piss.
It's the principle that matters.

What a disturbing thing to joke about Confused

But anyway, @OP she was bang out of order! I’d message your son and ask why his partner has helped herself to your chocolate (especially as it couldn’t have been him if he doesn’t even like it!)

YABU for keeping chocolate in the fridge though.

Sunnysideup · 29/07/2022 22:14

Well this is just odd, she went into thr kitchen into the fridge ate a whole family bar of chocolate in fifteen mins and said nothing?

Stressybetty · 29/07/2022 22:15

That's crazy, was there anyone else in the house who could have eaten it? If it was her she must have looked in the fridge, grabbed it straight away and stuffed it down. How rude!

ThePumpkinPatch · 29/07/2022 22:17

Who eats whilst on the phone?!

henryhoover3 · 29/07/2022 22:17

I live by myself so it could not have been eaten by anyone else. I am going to have to say something it is bazaar x

Why was she even looking in your fridge!!!

jputthekettleon · 29/07/2022 22:21

How unpleasant for the person on the other end of the call to have her masticating through the whole call!

Sweatinglikeabitch · 29/07/2022 22:24

Honestly my first thought was that she has some kind of eating disorder because who does that? I'm bloody good at eating chocolate, if I do say so myself, and I couldn't eat a full family sized bar during a 15 minute phone call.

I'd send a message to your son just asking that they both ask before taking food, you don't want to make a big deal of it. But while they were there a full family bar of chocolate got scoffed and you'd been looking forward to it. But it's so super weird.

inshskj · 29/07/2022 22:26

You sure its not the person living in your loft?

sunsetsandsandybeaches · 29/07/2022 22:27

Are you sure she didn't ask your son and he said she could have it?

henryhoover3 · 29/07/2022 22:27

My son was sitting with me he never left the room

AuntieDolly · 29/07/2022 22:28

Would you seriously not say anything? I'd be fuming!

Tothemoonandbackx · 29/07/2022 22:33

It's honestly as easy as "Hey (insert sons name) I bought a bar of chocolate earlier as a treat for myself and left it in the fridge, did (insert CF Gf's name) have any, as it's all gone and the wrappers in the bin???" There's no denying it really, she didn't give a fuck who's it was, so why are you bothered about upsetting her???? It would literally have taken two seconds for her to ask, even ask your DS who could have asked you to check first before she stuffed her piggy face with it all.

Justleaveitblankthen · 29/07/2022 22:37

So the 'kind of girl who gets offended' thinks nothing of going into someone else's fridge and eating what is clearly being saved as a treat for yourself?! Cheeky sod! It's not as if it was a mini baby bel or a random apple left on the counter..
What next, she nips upstairs to the toilet and uses your perfume? Takes your jewellery? Borrows the odd tenner left for the window cleaner?
Tell your son in no uncertain terms that you want it replaced. It's then up to him how he chooses to 'offend' her 😏

FabFitFifties · 29/07/2022 22:40

Family bars of chocolate aren't the chunky things of my youth any more 😭You could eat one in 10 mins easy - though talking on the phone at the same time takes some doing.

IrisVersicolor · 29/07/2022 22:41

I’d wonder if she has some kind of ED. It’s kind of a binge on someone else’s chocolate. You’d have to have really poor impulse control to do that.
