To be really fucking annoyed with MY BIL?

Making caramel at home today. Was just about done when he and my sister called in. I warned them both not to touch the bowl because it was still extremely hot.

Fucking muppet BIL sticks his finger straight in it. I genuinely can't believe he did it (he's the type to touch a gate with a wet paint sign to see if it's actually wet!)

Cue him screaming in pain and needing to be driven to A&E to get it seen to. No doubt he'll have to have time off sick from work, because he works in a wet fish shop and I don't see how he can work with a bandaged finger.

I'm annoyed because he's apparently blaming me for leaving the bowl out! Apparently saying "do not touch that, it's extremely hot", wasn't good enough.

He is a TWAT - A&E need idiots like him !!!

IncompleteSenten · 14/08/2022 19:11

Is he twat enough to sue? 😁

Jubaju · 14/08/2022 19:13

Is your BIL 5 yrs old ?

Maybe you can send him a grip as a get well present?

How will he hold it with his poor ickle burnt finger?

EnjoyingTheSilence · 14/08/2022 19:13

I had an old friend that tried picking up a fire pit and obviously burnt his hand. He then had a go at me for not having whatever cream he thought I should have. I told him if he hadn’t been such a licking idiot and touched the fire pit he wouldn’t need any damn cream. He shut up after that.

what is it with twats doing something stupid then blaming others

StaunchMomma · 14/08/2022 19:14

What a feckin pillock!!

Do not let him blame you, OP. Tell him straight that he was warned but insisted on acting like a child and also pull him up for putting his dirty fingers in your food!

Absolute idiot.

RampantIvy · 14/08/2022 19:15

Who on earth voted against the OP?

Of course you don't stick your finger in hot caramel!

KyaClark · 14/08/2022 19:15

My first thought was for the wasted caramel. So gross.

Then it was "who the fuck makes caramel in this weather?!"

NumberTheory · 14/08/2022 19:16

He’s an idiot.

He may just be lashing out a bit in pain though, burns are very painful, and will acknowledge that he was an idiot tomorrow when he’s had pain killers and some time to calm down?

FatEaredFuck · 14/08/2022 19:16

Sounds like someone with severe impulse control! As above even if it wasnt hot I wouldn't want him sticking his finger in a full bowl of food I was preparing.

ItWasJustifiedHeWasACunt · 14/08/2022 19:17

What a twat

35965a · 14/08/2022 19:18

He’s a massive dick. If he moans then say “I did warn you.”

TokyoTen · 14/08/2022 19:18

Pretty gross that he just sticks his fingers in a bowl of food in my opinion. I wouldn't even say "I told you it was hot" I'd say "you're filthy for sticking your hands in a bowl of my food".

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 14/08/2022 19:25

Burns can be nasty but tbh it serves him right for being such a monumental twat. Who sticks their fingers in other people's cooking?

This is so ripe to be picked up by thewider media that he'll soon be able see that everyone thinks the same.

excitingusername · 14/08/2022 19:30

Hm. There's hot and then there's caramel hot. He was warned but I'd have been the type to have warned that it was sugar and how dangerous it is when it's melted. It's different to other things. He probably thought he could hack it but was ignorant about sugar. Still - he had to learn the hard way.

rnsaslkih · 14/08/2022 19:31

Just forget it. He’s an idiot and he can pay the price.

QuestionableMouse · 14/08/2022 19:32

This has cheered me right up 😂😁

His finger really did look quite badly burned (scalded?)... He ruined new trousers a couple of years ago by leaning on a newly painted wall that had a wet paint sign. He's a tit, honestly.

It's been pretty cool and foggy here all afternoon, though I'm making it because I promised a friend a batch for her birthday. Having to start again now after his tittery.

You have unhygienic relatives

I've no time for self-inflicted wounds.
What a waste of scarce NHS resources.

Hidingawaytoday · 14/08/2022 19:44

YANBU, he's a twat. Also, will you be my friend? 😋

Cas112 · 14/08/2022 19:44

What a muppet, teach him a lesson not to stick his fingers in things he shouldn't

DingDongDenny · 14/08/2022 19:46

Am I the only clarty one who would eat it anyway?

Staygoldponyboystaygold · 14/08/2022 19:50

i put my finger in hot fudge that I was making myself once because I’m an absolute tit! Didn’t blame anybody else for my stupidity though. Hurt a lot 🙄

PeloAddict · 14/08/2022 19:51

Georgeskitchen · 14/08/2022 18:40

Course he can go to work. Has he never heard of a plastic finger cover? I've worn one in food prep in the past. How long did he keep his finger in the caramel? Must have been ages if the idiot needs to go to A&E!!

It doesn't take long
I spilled a pot of boiling caramel over my wrist and hand and ended up in the burns clinic
Put cold water on it straight away but then the caramel obviously set...

Jellytottss · 14/08/2022 20:01

I'd be pissed off that his unwashed hands were in my bowl of caramel..... eurghhh!
