DP being greedy

41 replies

Hermeone · 16/09/2009 13:00

Me and DP have set up a grocery budget in which we both pay half each. So, say the weekly budget was £60 ... we pay £30 in each.

Now, whenever we buy fresh orange juice, DP drinks it all. I like to have a glass of it in a morning with my breakfast but there is never any left as DP just drinks it all day constantly. The other week we bought 4 massive cartons of it to last the week and it lasted 2 days.

I have spoken to him about it and he agrees that he is greedy with it and says he'll limit himself to one glass a day but he never does.

SO, last week I went to pour myself a glass and the carton was empty. I was pissed off and so told DP that I would be buying myself a bottle of fresh orange juice out of my own personal money (not the grocery budget) that he wasn't to touch. He said it was petty but agreed that he wouldn't touch it.

Yesterday, I cam home from work, checked the orange juice and half the bottle had gone. He denied that he'd had any, kicked off, got all defensive and finally blurted out "FINE, I'LL BUY YOU ANOTHER FUCKING BOTTLE OF IT AND YOU CAN KEEP IT ALL TO YOURSELF".

AIBU????

Reality!

Now my DH IS greedy - he hogs the PC all the time to play WOW and look at the football. Should I dump him?

YABU. He likes to drink orange juice - hardly a sackable offense.

And YA both BU to like orange juice. It's bad for your teeth, full of calories and tastes horrible.

Good lord.
Do you count the slices in a loaf of bread to make sure you're having equal amounts?

I bet he shits through the eye of a needle.....

PfftTheMagicDragon · 16/09/2009 14:44

Why don't you just go the whole hog and start writing your names on things?

What a bizarre arrangement!

crokky · 16/09/2009 14:45

Don't argue over orange juice. Life is too short!

It's the same in our house, the dc have always said that they don't like it. The other day I bought myself 3 cartons so I could have a large glass on a morning instead of breakfast.

Went to get some today and the little swines have put the empty carton back in the fridge.

I shall be having words I tell ya

Is this the same troll as the guinea pig mess and other assorted smelly tales?

LadyoftheBathtub · 16/09/2009 14:52

If you buy 4 cartons for a week, two of them are yours, so hide them. Winter's coming up, you can keep them in the garden under a bush.

Portofino · 16/09/2009 15:05

Couldn't you pee in one then put it back in the fridge! I can guarantee he'll go off juice after that - though Top Tip - remember that you have done it.....!

I like that idea portofino!
