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

@Glitteratitar you have really weird boundaries.

If my husband nailed an entire bar of chocolate I’d bought for myself, I’d be raging. It’s an insane lack of self control. Plus it’s bloody rude.

@Herejustforthisone Wait, I didn’t say I would be happy my chocolate bar was finished when I was looking forward to eating it, I would be secretly disappointed (though I wouldn’t be fussed at all if it wasn’t something I was looking forward to later). I think the reaction to her going in the fridge uninvited, combined with eating the chocolate, is a massive overreaction.

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?

Impressive? You have haven’t met my husband lol

Brigante9 · 30/07/2022 16:59

Did you ask your son why she did it? So bizarre.

StridTheKiller · 30/07/2022 17:51

@Floofboopsnootandbork You'd be well impressed with my personal best. I'd demolish that in 5 minutes flat, no problem.
Would never go rooting through fridges and or steal chocolate though. I do have some standards.

Eating a family sized bar of chocolate from someone else's fridge goes way beyond being a "greedy shit"

I've heard many people share in AA meetings of very similar stories with alcohol (they share because they are mortified in sobriety). But I think they have generally done it covertly without leaving evidence.

Either way if your son is now aware and he wasn't before, maybe she will get some help if she needs it.

Stressybetty · 31/07/2022 22:29

Still bewildered why she was rooting in the fridge to start with if you don't have that kind of relaxed home from home relationship. I can see her maybe absent mindedly eating it while on the phone then realising she'd scoffed the lot, stuffing the wrapper in the bin and being too embarrassed to say anything.

I'm really not sure what to say x

You say " Did either of you eat my chocolate?"
Simple!

DianneITV · 01/08/2022 16:24

Absolutely not!!!!!!! If this happened to I would be proper FUMING!!!!!! What was done here was stealing which believe it or not is illegal.

Sorted I texted my son and his partner has just called round with the biggest bar of chocolate I have ever seen full of apologies and embarrassed x

Good news

Was it a bag of Maltesers ?

Yes, it's outright theft. A PP said she'll be after your money next.

She will deny all knowledge of swiping the chocolate and you will end up looking petty and/or paranoid. Hope this isn't the start of some genuine gas lighting.

I suspect her making the telephone call (on her phone or your phone if you have one in the kitchen ?) Was an excuse to be in the kitchen. Was it an important call or was she just bored ?

How come the cheeky bitch was rummaging in your fridge anyway ? (Not because she was peckish, it wasn't something Like cheese, was it. Oh no, it was a treat she helped herself to. The whole chocolate bar. Grabby and entitled. She would have gobbled it really quickly too. What finished first I wonder, the chocolate bar or the phone call ?) Sorry, but this is how it starts. If she comes round again, I wonder what she will be up to.

What will mysteriously disappear next time she comes round ? Just little bits. Have you got a jewellery box ? Do you leave your purse/handbag out of your sight ? Do you have nice ornaments or c.ds./d.v.ds.

She sees you as a push over and your property as nothing more than fair game. Sorry.

You sound truly unhinged Confused

I'd be tempted to say "I'd bought you a bar of chocolate, but it seems to have disappeared. I'm sorry about that, I can't think what could have happened to it". Then hide the next bar of chocolate somewhere less obvious, perhaps with a "hands off, it's not yours" sticker on it. She can only be offended if she finds it...

blimey what an absolute pig to eat a whole family bar, do they have eating issues, that sure isnt normal.

What are you considering a family sized bar though? One of those 80g bars of Dairy Milk that cost £1 or 360g bar of Galaxy? Or 1KG even?!

Happyher · 02/01/2023 12:57

That’s really rude. I wouldn’t dream of helping myself to something in someone else’s house. Tell your son and that you expect it to be replaced
