Sitting at home this evening with my partner when my phone pings. It’s the chairman of our local cricket club where my partner plays.

“Bit of a crisis, don’t suppose you’re at home? We need someone to pop to the shops and get 50 burgers. Would you be able to? No worries if not.”

Partner is beside me, his phone hasn’t made a sound.

Obviously I didn’t do it, DP did, and once he delivered the burgers they asked him to cook them as well.

They were expecting me to give up my Friday evening because vagina!

The Audacity!

Well yes of course.

Didn't you know that possessing a vagina makes a person especially able to buy and cook 50 burgers at short notice??

What are they teaching in schools these days!

Yes awful!! Glad your DP did it.

Error404FucksNotFound · 19/06/2026 21:55

Cheeky buggers.
I bet they were surprised when he turned up
They planned to have you cook.

My vagina has magic finding household items powers. I’m very blessed.

RudolphTheReindeer · 19/06/2026 22:28

How do they have your number?

SwitchUpTime · 19/06/2026 22:44

Do you usually help out at the club?

WinterBlues26 · 19/06/2026 23:33

Why wasn't DP invited as a guest at the burgerthon if he played for the club? That's just as weird.

So... many... questions... I'll start with: If your DP plays at the club, why wasn't he at whatever event this was already yet free enough to pop down and help out when asked? And how does the chairman have your number? And has your town heard of JustEat?

Plus, did you roar laughing down the phone and say ‘Good one, Nigel! You nearly had me there for a minute!’

All of these questions can be answered with a variation of "because this didn't happen".

PinkyFlamingo · 20/06/2026 00:42

Shouldn't your DP have been at the event?

Ozmumofboys3 · 20/06/2026 01:16

I’ve said you’re being unreasonable because there MUST be more to this. Are you on the board? How come they have your number?

or they trusted you more than your dp, or they preferred you ?

outerspacepotato · 20/06/2026 01:22

Chairman of the Bored called you, who is not a member, to go get him 50 burgers for a do that your partner, a member, wasn't at?

Awkward.

MyKidsAreTooNoisy · 20/06/2026 01:32

Clearly there is more to this..

Teanbiscuits33 · 20/06/2026 04:51

I would have text back, ‘No, sorry, I can’t help. I’m not sure if you’ve accidentally messaged me but please message DP directly instead with any requests. He might be happy to help out’

You’ve set a boundary then that tells them that any future requests are to go to your DP and are nothing to do with you without being confrontational. What a cheek.

Bristolandlazy · 20/06/2026 04:54

Yeah ok

Chelsea26 · 20/06/2026 07:35

Wow ok - don’t know why people would think this is made up 😂

To answer questions
There are loads of events down at the cricket club, tonight was a youth game so DP wasn’t playing and didn’t plan to go down and watch.

Chairman has my number because we’re friendly and have done social things in the past, not without DP, but some I’ve took the lead on arranging.

I do go to social events at the club, and I have helped out, again with DP, on a stall for the summer fete occasionally but I’ve never shown any interest above and beyond that.

I did just reply saying DP is here, text him.
