He threw my beautiful cake tin away!!

[beholdtheidiot]

My daughter bought me a gorgeous cake tin for Christmas and so I filled it with stollen and other Christmas treats.

I came home from work earlier, made a cup of tea and went to get a piece of stollen and the tin was no where to be found. Husband came home and I asked him where was the tin - in the bin he said!!

Apparently he thought the tin was a tin that came with the stollen and once empty would go in the bin! So he’d bunged it into the bin where it’s git a bit dented and looks a bit shit as the lid is bent.

Hes remorseful but absolutely thinks that the tin was a single use item. What a fucking Idiot!

He has ordered me a new one as DD told him where she got it from as I was raging but who throws cake tins away!!

AIBU, is it really such an easy mistake to make????

LTB

What a dick!!

Did he not see you open the gift?!

Ffs, I bought a cake this year just so I could keep the lovely tin it came in, I'd be royally pissed off if that was thrown away, never mind an actual proper tin that was a gift!

What weirdo throws a tin away? Mine would never throw any tin away. He loves them more than I do.

I buy things just for the tins as well.

He made a mistake and he's put it right. What more do you want?

God I miss my tins....I could only bring small ones with me when I decamped from UK. I was especially fond of some M&S ones over the years. One had licorice sweets stamped out all over it and was a perfect sewing box. I would rather throw out the cake than the tin ! Silly man.

You mean in the bin bin? Not the recycling? He’s a savage.

YANBU. I have vintage Cadburys and Oxo tins, a Mere Poulard tin and a gorgeous Italian biscuit tin that some of DH's relatives gave us a couple of Christmases ago - it's huge and had about 8 packs of biscuits in it, I spent the week after Christmas force-feeding offering biscuits to every guest we had until the tin was empty and I could cuddle it like Gollum and find somewhere for it to live. DH knows that if he binned any of them without very good reason there would be Consequences.

I’m also a tin fan! DH bought a whole job lot of useless items at an auction because it included two vintage OXO tins which I fell in love with 🤣

YANBU I love a nice tin. Or box. And don't get me started on baskets. I am not allowed to get any more baskets.

Oh hell no. I'd want that out the bin, dent pressed out AND a new tin to make up for the trauma.

Tins are treasured here, by both of us. We're tin-aholics. Buy stuff just for the tin quite often and that Your Honour, is why i eat too many biscuits, I swear

Guessing the greedy pig polished off the cake and binned the evidence.

He was trying to hide the fact that he's finished the stollen (there were 6 pieces left yesterday) and thought if the tin was gone you would forget about it. He's greedy and a twit and will never clear up in future "because I always get it wrong"

Tins. Love them. Whenever it’s “there’s no food” Look in a tin!

Yes OP this needs a better explanation. Do you have a recycling bin and if so does it take metal. And if so, why was he putting metal in the bin bin?

It's thoughtless - my mum collects nice tins and uses them for sewing things. But as he has realised and bought you another one, remaining angry is a bit counter productive isn't it?

What a fucking idiot!

I’d keep both - the bent bit will straighten out. He sounds like a dick.

I don’t think you’re reading the room quite right.

Can we have a photo of this tin please, taken from its pristine side?

Where did you get the cat tin from? I am looking for a tin to keep cracker biscuits in and for some reason think it should be square or oblong,

Can you keep cracker biscuits in a round tin? Is it just me?

I voted you're being unreasonable because although what he did was stupid, he's bought you a replacement straightaway and doesn't seem to have gone all aggressive on you. Plus you're now getting more stollen. Enjoy!

No, crackers belong in a square tin, cake in a round tin and tray bakes go in a rectangular tin. This may be why I have multiple tins in all kinds of shapes and sizes. My DC follow the tin rules to the letter.

Lol. What a knobber.
