Slapped in the face with a tortilla wrap.

[SaphiraBlue]

Title says it all really.

Backstory:

Just cooked tea for the family (though not myself as I wasn’t hungry)

DP took his time coming to the table, which was slightly annoying but is what it is.

He sat down and asked for sauces, I looked at him and told him where they were (as in get them yourself)

He looks at me with mock puppy dog eyes and says “but I have a bad foot and I’ve been working on your house all day”

1. He does have a bad foot after he impaled it on two rusty nails while building a fence at my house.
2. He’s been plastering walls all day at my house

The house we live in is in his name so I’ve recently bought my own as an investment/security for myself. He has been incredibly helpful with doing up the property so I got up and got him the condiments…. ….only to be slapped in the face with a tortilla wrap!

He thought it was funny, DSS thought it was funny (my DS still hadn’t made it downstairs to the table at this point) and when I was clearly unamused DP’s response was “It’s a thing!!” And tried to justify himself by saying it’s something trending online. I did pick up his drink and threaten to throw it over him but stopped as I didn’t want to be the one to clear up the mess after - it feel guilty for it as I undoubtedly would.

So
AIBU - lighten up it’s just a joke
AINBU - Cheeky (Expletive) can make his own food in future.

Often the opposite is true. Online trends are often stupid af.

It's almost as if not everyone finds the same things funny.

Just because someone doesn't think being hit in the face with food items is hilarious that doesn't mean they have no sense of humour. We laugh and muck about a lot in this house but none of us would think hitting someone in the face with food was funny because "it's an online thing".

I thought it was meant to be a wet tortilla!

It is! Or it doesn't make the noise or stick or whatever

This, online trend or not. Jesus, the things that pass for humour these days. Maybe mildly amusing with a couple of kids, but adults, seriously?

And am a bit perplexed by all those agreeing it's funny, are you the same people demanding an OP ltb and call the police at any post that involves violence?

Just curious where the line is - when does it start and stop being funny to you? Personally I don’t find ‘jokes’ at just one person’s expense funny.

And I don’t think that being helpful to someone means that you can treat them poorly. My DH recently washed my car - does that mean I shouldn’t mind if he pies me in the face unexpectedly? Weird logic.

Grow up.

I've seen some "wet lettuce" threads on MN, but this is something else.

Yes it's a wet tortilla thread.

Im worried as your partner seems to be underage?

Just mentally it would seem. He’s older than me, in his 40’s.

Disappointingly dry it seems

Is this like the throwing a cheese slice to stop a baby crying thing?

I would have found it funny and thrown it back, probably wiping it on my arm pit first! 😂

I'd have found this funny and got him back another time.

At least it wasn’t a wet fish… 🐟

I'm a very easy going person but I wouldn't have appreciated this, joke or not. It's like the trend of parents cracking eggs on their kids heads. It's horrible.

I don't want to be slapped on my face because of some stupid Tiktok trend.

It is a thing, as in it's a game that is quite funny in a group. (Kevin Hart and Duane Johnson were very funny playing it). The idea is that people have a mouthful of water and take turns slapping each other with a tortilla until someone laughs and spits out the water.

That's not the same as slapping someone with a tortilla without warning or consent. Just because "it's a thing" doesn't mean you have to put up with it.

I wouldn’t find this funny at all, if he’d used mock puppy dogs eyes I’d have asked what the fuck was wrong with his face. We don’t muck around with food at the table in this house. What a childish prat.

I thought jokes are when everybody laughs.

I wouldn't have been amused.

Its not a joke if the 'victim' of the joke doesn't actually find it funny.

He isn't justified in his actions because he's been putting some effort in on her behalf either.

But obviously this makes me a wet lettuce, so I am going to lighten up and now that my DP has cooked dinner, and since I have after all been at work 8 hours today to fund both our lives... I shall go and wallop him in the face with checks plate a bowl of salad and a cheeseburger.

Hilarious!

I'm a single mum and would KILL for a practical, helpful bloke like your partner.
Well, not really, as I'm happy on my own.
All things considered, I'd forgive the tortilla slap

The fact that you cooked when you weren't even eating yourself and then was slapped in the face with a food item and laughed at. All because it's a thing on the Internet. It's so ridiculous.

This!

Honestly OP I'd have been livid. Feels super disrespectful and terrible that it's in front of kids. What he's done isn't the trend (and even if it was, what grown man thinks it's socially acceptable to essentially throw food at someone's face).

I haven’t seen it.

I would not like that.
I wouldn’t be in a relationship with someone who had that sense of humour.
Embarassing and startling people in that way is disrespectful and hurtful. You teach kids not to do things like that.
