…to want my cake tin back?!

DH made a cake a while ago that he took to his sister’s, in the baking tin 🙄 he left the tin there. I then went to make a cake a few weeks later and couldn’t find the tin anywhere, which was very irritating as I was mid way through baking. Realised what had happened, and that he’d obviously left it at his sister’s. It’s a 20cm cake tin, but a good quality one.

Anyway, he met up with his sister yesterday and she gave him the tin back - but it’s not my one! It’s a cheap poundland one! Just thin aluminium, not my nice thick one.

Is it ridiculously petty to ask for mine back? It’s the same size, so I can imagine it would look petty. But not all cake tins are created equal! Maybe I am being unreasonably irritated about this. What would you do? Would you accept the tin with a smile? Would you say something? Am I being unreasonable?

Do you reckon the DH is blind or demented as he didn't notice he'd got the wrong tin either?

He's clearly selfish, careless and/or not very wise if he doesn't know the difference between the tin that you bake the cake in and a suitable container that you transfer it to for storing/transporting it until you eat it.

I wonder if he also plonks saucepans of veg and baking trays directly on to the table when serving up meals, rather than transferring the contents to plates and bowls once ready to eat - and puts out big wooden spoons and carving knives instead of cutlery?

You may have lost it now. 🤷‍♀️

Get your DH to replace it, or you do. (Originally mistyped dog for dh 😀).

Surely you'd make a point of going around there to collect it by now.
