He called a wasp a moron at dinner

Ok, this isn't a serious thread exactly just a weird moment

So I was having dinner with my partner, a very nice outdoor meal. Very romantic and looking into each other's eyes etc.

Then a wasp came along and dropped into his wine. He responded by saying 'get out of there you moron' which caused the couple next to us of stop talking and stare at him then me. He then gave the wasp a small pep talk after rescuing it.

I felt embarrassed as I felt it was a really OTT response! I wanted to say was it really necessary to verbally abuse that wasp but seemed an odd thing to say...it just felt like a very angry response

No!

My point was we were having a nice meal and him calling the wasp a moron caused other diners to look at him like he was mad. I was embarrassed

They want to get a life 🤣🤣

In Wales, one of the colloquial terms for them is cont-y-bin, or the bin cunt.

Maybe a PP is right

Maybe the diners thought he was calling me a moron, hence the response

That was my first thought when I read the OP.

Wasps are the absolute worst (although I do love bees!), and one trying to ruin my restaurant priced wine and stop me gazing into my dates eyes would have been a step too far.

Off with it's head, I say.

I don’t swear but use the word moron quite flippantly (usually when driving) and even in front of my kids - it’s hardly an aggressive term 🤔

Hereforaglance · 06/10/2024 21:44

Who the f is sharon

Penguinfeet24 · 06/10/2024 21:47

Good lord 😂 I think there are far bigger things to be getting wound up about.

Hekett · 06/10/2024 21:53

I’d have called it a cunt, but I’m allergic to them.

YABU.

Minimili · 06/10/2024 22:39

Sounds like when Jason Manford was perplexed by the Manc man who worked in the bank and called a bee a “Fucking Dickhead” 😂

MrsMeanwhile · 06/10/2024 23:27

He sounds fun.

You sound uptight.

gretathegremlin · 07/10/2024 00:08

Did the wasp feel victimised?

sarahzbaker · 07/10/2024 00:23

Me cyant believe it

ChristmasFluff · 07/10/2024 05:44

He'll be T-Rex-ing in Asda next, so LTB is the only advice.

At least he didn't throw the wine at the wall.

wombpaloumbpa · 07/10/2024 10:58

Maybe the other diners didn't realise that he was talking to a wasp? So they were surprised and thought he was talking to you

I called a bluebottle a bellend the other day. It refused to go out of the wide open window, definitely a bellend.

WaterBuffalo · 07/10/2024 11:06

I've called wasps worse than that.

I think your husband is incredibly sweet for rescuing the wasp.

TheGoddessFrigg · 07/10/2024 11:08

"in Wales, one of the colloquial terms for them is cont-y-bin, or the bin cunt."

I love this. Finding this out is definitely going to be the highlight of Monday

Last time a wasp bothered me (last week in Eastern Europe) I shouted Fuck off you fucking motherfucker

And did the person at the next table get up and leave?

Sharptonguedwoman · 07/10/2024 17:37

That’s really funny. And very mild.

Correct.

OP needs to get a grip.

So basically he gave you 'the ick' 🤣

Nanof8 · 07/10/2024 17:44

Sounds like something I would say, just before threatening to hit it with my bug zapper.
😆 🤣

husbandcookingtonight · 07/10/2024 17:46

Good grief I think you need to chill out a bit - he probably didn't realise he said it loud enough for others to hear but for me I'd have laughed😁

Sleepytiredyawn · 07/10/2024 17:51

If have told it to ‘fuck off’ but hey ho!
