He called a wasp a moron at dinner

[PrueHal]

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

God help you if you thought that was a display.

Op,I think you should end the relationship and then the boyfriend can find a girlfriend who isn't so concerned about what total strangers think of him.

That wouldn’t embarrass me, when a wasp lands in my wine I tell it to get out of my wine and get its own.

I would have laughed

Maybe the wasp likes a drink. Booze can make you appear a bit dozy. Come to think of it I was pissed most of the time for about 30 years,

He was nice to a wasp, what's the problem? What a nice man. Cherish him. Assuming this is not a joke btw.

I think perhaps you worry too much about other people’s perception of you?

Your partner sounds like a good guy with a great sense of humour!

Like PP said - the other diners may have thought he was talking to you.

But the wasp was a moron! And certainly needed to be made aware of that fact, otherwise waspy will just continue with the same unacceptable behaviour!

Personally I’d find this hilarious. I like people that aren’t afraid to be a bit different.

Assuming he let the wasp dry itself out and then let it go?

Wasps can be annoying at this time of year when they are sleepy, but it's not going to be annoyed at being called a moron, as it can't speak human language.

Why were you embarrassed? Had you already drunk a lot of the wine? If a wasp landed in my drink I think I would have called it a lot worse than a moron!

He sounds nice that he let it go, I’d have smushed it flat.

He should have swallowed the wasp without comment and continued staring into your eyes so as not to interrupt the romantic moment. I would bin him, OP - if you don't respect yourself enough to demand the very best without ever settling, then who will?

Meh.....I called a box of teabags 'an absolute twat' this morning. They fell out of the cupboard and scattered allover the worktop. My colleague turned round laughing and said did you just call a box of teabags a twat ? Then we both laughed.......absolutely no embarrassment. It was a lighthearted, funny moment. Same as the wasp situation, the only weirdo in this scenario is you.

if it’s that big of a deal to you just break up with him, if you don’t care enough to break up, why complain over something this stupid?! I always thought Moron is like saying idiot just a bit stronger.

That's fucking funny 😂 I would have laughed at that

I think you are overreacting

Wow, lighten up!!!

YABU

Wasps are bastards and deserve all they get.

Call my husband and eldest moron possibly daily🫣

I’ve had a really crap day and this made me laugh for the first time all day. 😂😂

I thought this too 😂

I mean yes it's a bit performative and he maybe was trying to front it out after the other diners looked at him. Is he ND? I have ADHD this would have made me laugh and probably join in the joke offering the wasp words of encouragement 😄

Sorry to be frank, but it sounds like you need to get more of a life tbh.

😂😂😂

That gave me a much needed laugh 😂

Tough one really, were they a bit snobby at the next table!? 😁 depends if he 'acted weird' saying it I guess?
