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????

@Aintgointogoa

I have this cat tin and happy to send it to you if its one you miss?
I'm not attached to it can't even remember how I acquired it xx

What a wally. No stollen for him, I hope.

Throwing away tins is a hanging offence in this house.

This thread gave me a chuckle, my Mother In Law asked me to take about 20 tins home with me after Christmas!
You know, the usual shortbread and cake ones. My Father in Law is a bugger for taking them out of the recycling and keeping them.
Never actually does anything with them, more a case of "Oh that will come in handy" He is a professional hoarder/skip surfer, and it causes my M-i-L a lot of stress.
She is as bad with food in the freezers & fridges (Yes 2 of each) that should have been binned ages ago, but I love them both dearly and given they are in their late 80s won't be here forever, so just quietly take home stuff to put in our bin or recycling.

I was This Close >< to buying a set of cake tins in TKMaxx (storage not baking tins)

Three tins , stacking , with a hare pattern .
Good for Easter , I thought .
I calmly put them back and walked away , knowing full well they won't be there next time I go in.

I am so pleased to hear he is an ex. Throwing out photos of your children is unforgivable.

I'm almost speechless but can just about manage this;
He will never ever ever make that mistake again
Will he?

The big plastic lidded croissant containers from Costco make great mini greenhouses for seedlings

My penfriend in Italy once sent me a Dolce and Gabanna Panettone. I would be gutted if the tin was thrown out.

Cake tins are the most bourgeois thing imaginable. Worse than doilies and fish knives. You should be thanking him.

YANBU to want to keep an especially nice tin, but you ABU to be “raging”. The guy made a mistake. A little irritated is a more appropriate level of response.

I remember that liquorice all sorts tin

Love it 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

I love a tin,but tbh I love a beautiful box more ....

I have a beautiful box with washi tape in , one with different inks in, one with homemade tags from old Christmas cards - even if I used a tag per present for the rest of my life I probably have too many tags

I use my Jo Malone boxes (very sturdy) for so may things - one is currently under my bed housing my tablets , another stores my special cards from DS and DH

I have one that looks like this. I use it to keep the Jaffa cakes in.

Well quite. Cook makes us fresh cakes every day. Any leftovers are, I suppose, eaten by the staff, but it’s so middle class to want to store cake.

Our fruit cakes for Christmas are fed with brandy and decently wrapped in grease proof paper.

I love Christmas tins too and always keep them. This year I bought a Pannetone in a lovely tin to add to the hamper I make for my daughter. She texted me today to show me a picture of the contents! All my leftover Christmas ribbons and labels! I now need to check the decorations cupboard to find the Pannetone.

He should have asked first.

Easy done. My mum buys me loads of products in fancy tins (that go in the recycling) as I just dont have room for

Nooooo at least take them to a charity shop, pleaseeee

I have some vintage cake tins that belonged to my granny who died in 1989. I’d be very upset if someone threw them away. I feel your pain

Honestly, Poor Bloke. He clears up the kitchen and you yell at him over a tin!!! You don't know your born,

I'm a sucker for a nice tin, and keep all my teas in Monty Bojangle cats.

This is a recent favourite - bought in France only partly for the biscuits it contained.

I also have a stash of M&S shortbread tins which I use if I'm taking things elsewhere - then it doesn't matter if they don't get returned.

OMG are we married to the same man? So fucking annoying!

I had an ex who binned half a roast chicken once rather than use it for leftovers 😱
