AIBU to think DH should stop taking discounted food out of peoples trolleys.

This happens every time we're in Tescos on a Sunday and they put the discounted stuff from the bakery out. Lots of customers surround the racks and DH just waits outside pushing each other over the goods and DH just waits a couple metres away then takes the goods out of peoples trolleys and shouts at people if they try taking it back.

AIBU to think he is completely in the wrong here, even if he other customers are pushing each other? I don't even know why he does it when we're not exactly short of money.

Is this a joke? If it’s not, is he mentally well?

Penguinmouse · 22/03/2025 08:33

WTF?! Yes he’s completely unreasonable. What a weird thing to do.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 22/03/2025 08:33

Do you really need to ask? 🤔

BallerinaRadio · 22/03/2025 08:33

This can't be real

Thirteenblackcat · 22/03/2025 08:34

What a massive dickhead. That’s a huge turnoff

FaerieGodmother · 22/03/2025 08:34

Ew. And I'm hardly The Queen Mother

Pigeonqueen · 22/03/2025 08:34

Wow that’s incredibly rude of him!

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 22/03/2025 08:34

Wtf?! How do you even need to ask if you're being unreasonable. Your husband sounds disturbed, frankly.

drspouse · 22/03/2025 08:35

YADNBU but it is a bit funny.

CruCru · 22/03/2025 08:35

I have questions. People are pushing each other over discounted baked goods?

This seems like a whole world of grief (the pushing each other and the husband taking stuff out of people’s trolleys) for some stale loaves.

Realistically, someone is going to complain to the shop, they’ll check the CCTV and your husband will get banned from the shop.

MrsMurphyIWish · 22/03/2025 08:36

I can’t believe this is real! If he tried that with me, I’d give him what for! I can’t imagine him taking it out of my DH’s trolley - a tall, fit man.

Edit to say, I could never imagine being involved in a scrum to get discounted goods but if I did, I would not be happy!

Tooty78 · 22/03/2025 08:37

One of these days he will do it to someone even more deranged than your DH.

The outcome will not be pretty.

LoveWine123 · 22/03/2025 08:37

Is your husband not quite there? Or is he just a cheeky fucker and also an asshole?

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 22/03/2025 08:38

I hope a staff member sees him and bans him from the shop.

What a dick

CassiasC · 22/03/2025 08:38

Really obnoxious behaviour on your husband’s part!

It’s one of those things a self-centred smartarse would argue isn’t breaking any rules without acknowledging it’s so obviously shitty no one has ever thought to spell it out.

It happens in a lot of supermarkets afaik, come near closing time when the bakery items are 90% off and there are always battles.

People get punched in the face for less.

JeanGenieJean · 22/03/2025 08:38

Yet another troll post

Twinstudy · 22/03/2025 08:39

I bet he doesn't take stuff out of big burly mens trolleys. Your husband sounds like a dick.

Yikes, I just can’t ever imagine wanting stale baked goods enough.

Are you below the poverty desperate for food?

Holdmeclosecooedthedove · 22/03/2025 08:40

This can't be real

Penguinmouse · 22/03/2025 08:41

Often the reason that people are so desperate for those discounted items is because they can’t afford things at their full price. Yes it’s undignified to be pushing and shoving to get yellow sticker discounted items but just have a think about why. As someone said, there will either be a complaint about him or more likely, someone will wallop him for being a prick.

TheatreTraveller · 22/03/2025 08:41

This can't be a genuine post. No one would choose to be with someone who behaves like that.

CruCru · 22/03/2025 08:41

I would say that this is nonsense but a few years ago there were riots in French supermarkets over discounted Nutella.

Zanzara · 22/03/2025 08:41

Why are you married to this oaf? Please don't have children with him.
