He has eaten a fat ball

[ManifestoMT]

And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

[K8Middleton]

Has he had his coffee yet? I reckon he has 25 mins post espresso, 40 mins post filter/latte/cappuccino and until he has a cup of tea after instant before the poosplosion.

[SumBex]

I love the fact that you didn't need to. Specify it was your DH in the title or op, like he pulls this kind of stuff all the time.

[DameFanny]

Crying laughing! Need to know what he said about the string please!

[ipswichwitch]

Just watched a bloody great magpie swoop into our garden and fly off with a whole fat ball in its beak. He tried the same thing yesterday til he caught sight of my cat. I shall henceforth call him Mr Manifesto

[RowanMumsnet]

We've moved this to Classics now (hope that's OK ManifestoMT)

I thought this had to be either a dog or a toddler - not a 48 year old!! He really is legendary in his fuckwittery! Though I suspect he is still beaten by the Man Who Lost A BMW!! Only just, though!

As they were on string, did he dangle them in front of himself, and eat them like trying to eat apples on a string (the Halloween game)? Maybe you should put all his food on string from now on?

[BuzzardBird]

Birds are very perceptive you know? I can see an Alfred Hitchcock scene coming on when they sense the fatball in his stomach as he is walking down the road...

[BuzzardBird]

If he is into foods with string on I would hide your tampons OP he will be in for a shock if he pops one of those in his mouth

[Northernlurker]

Very pleased to see this is now in Classics!

[PrincessOfChina]

I didn't laugh at this at all and have spent a while wondering why and I figured it out...

It's because my DH would absolutely, 100%, definitely eat a fat ball if I left one in the fridge.

[DameFanny]

I'd be tempted to start filling the house with stringy objects... Sweet shop sugar mice, soap on a rope, decorative chilli garlands... See how far he'll take it...

[SuburbanSpaceperson]

That's hilarious. I agree with whoever said that it's still working it's way through is system. There will be consequences, I'm sure of it.

[SuburbanSpaceperson]

its not it's - flipping iPad

[MothershipG]

May be there should be a new MN term to add to spoonyfuckers? Should we now have fatballfuckers for DHs/DPs with no discernible common sense and a tendency to eat anything?

[Iloveonionchutney]

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius The man who lost his BMW?!!! I am intrigued by this one!

This is hilarious OP, if he gets away without repercussions I'd have to wonder how often he does this sort of thing!

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

The husband of a regulation poster, LaQueen, lost a whole car. They were moving house, and had just bought a new car, but hadn't yet sold the older one. When they actually moved, they drove the new car to the new house, leaving the other one to be collected later. In all the chaos of moving, her dh forgot to get it, and some months later, he saw it for sale, on a garage forecourt - his neighbour had reported it abandoned, claimed it, and sold it to the garage.

She is not entirely cross about it because, as she says, it doesn't matter if she goes OTT at the shops, he can't complain because she has never lost a whole car.

It's a MN legend, now.

[Quinteszilla]

Did he eat the string, or did he think the string was there to floss the seeds out from between his teeth after?

[shemademedoit]

Hahahahahaha. Funniest thing ever.

[TheCunkOfPhilomena]

Manifesto I just saw your DH, he's headed East for Spring here.

[ManifestoMT]

Quick update

He said as I bought stuff at tebay services he thought it was of those artisan treats sort of scotch egg things.

He didn't eat the string nor the twig anchoring the string through the ball.

I think he was expecting a black pudding centre or something.

He has a loose stool but nothing to malevolent.

[ManifestoMT]

Thanks for all the comments. Blushes

My first classic.

Pity it's for a fatball and not utter genius on my behalf but thanks for your gleeful interest in bowel movements and string.

[BertieBotts]

There was a twig?!

Priceless!!
