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????

Weird that he wouldn’t just ask if this is for keeping or for the bin (yes recycling police I mean the bin 🙄)

I have kept a musical M & S Christmas box (sadly not a tin) which we refill with chocolates made in moulds. (Shout out for M & S caramel, shortbread and chocolate crispies milk chocolate.) The tune gives away anyone sneaking a choc as @Vroomfondleswaistcoat says and always makes us laugh. We’ve had hours of fun with young children moulding the chocolates then poring over the illustrations to determine the time of day, the time of year, the animals and activities depicted. Love it!

I had to get rid of loads of tins when I moved house last year (recycling or gave them away) but I’m rebuilding! Christmas is a good source of tin collecting. I especially like French and Italian ones 😍

I think it’s worse than he took the last bit of Christmas stollen when it was your gift!

Oooh I like that tin as well. I have cats so it has to be cats

You know that feeling when something has been missing from your life, and you are not quite sure what?

it was this. These tin rules. The heavens have parted, glorious sun shines down, epiphanies have occurred and all is right with the world.

thank you.

It's annoying but I can kind of understand it and he's ordered you a new one

Was it the Waitrose Mother's Day Cherry Panettone?

I bought that for the tin.

I love this one

@Moneybum I do too! Beautiful!

I regret getting rid of my carousel tin! I think it was from Tesco.

Yeah he’s an idiot but at least he’s sorted it, Although I’d still be annoyed because him sorting it will have come out of the family money (unless you have separate finances, in which case great, I’m just going from our own set up) and wouldn’t really feel like a gift in the same way.

Well, she might want her husband to acquire a brain . . . .

Sounds like he’s tried to keep the house tidy, made a mistake, apologised, replaced the item. I couldn’t be raging about this 😂

My DD bought me this from M&S in december - beautiful. My DH had better not throw it away! The panettone was lovely too.

Its not the mistake thst matters its how its dealt with and how you move on from it that does. Come on he's doing sll the right things. Lighten up.

I'm shocked and stunned!

Most empty things in my house are put back where they were eg an empty milk bottle, juice carton, butter dish, toilet roll middle...

Let me clarify, not by me 😁

I’m glad he has ordered you more!
I need some more cake tins - I’d love to see yours if you’re happy to share a link?

I’ve only voted yabu simply as he has ordered another one to replace it, but is he a knob - yes! I’d be fuming too but I’d let it go as he has ordered another replacement

Life is too short to fall out over a cake tin but would I let him know how much he’d upset me - absolutely

You are not in the wrong but he has at least tried to put it right (not that you should be in this situation in the first place)

Where do you all keep your tins, this thread is a nightmare for me as Im trying to declutter but I love a tin

He rectified it, so stick your claws back.
Drama for a cake tin. 🙄

I can see why you miss those tins. They are fab!

He's replaced it. Drama over. Move on.

I love my christmas tins but there is an Emma Bridgewater in the sale that I am coveting. This is a sign that I need to buy it in case DH throws my other one away!!

I have to confess. I throw tins away!
