DH and I just fought over Hot Pockets

[hausmaus]

Glossing over our choice in trashy food, who's right here?

As I was grocery shopping, DH texted that he wanted cheddar and broccoli Hot Pockets. I grabbed them and, my old college favorite, steak and cheese.

DH heats some up and offers me one, but I tell him I will make mine after I put DS to bed. Get DS down, and I'm all pumped for my snack and wine. Except, there are only nasty broccoli and cheddar in the freezer. I ask DH where the other ones are. He ate them all.

Who asks for a specific flavor and eats the other one? Who eats an entire package of Hot Pockets at once? I told DH it was inconsiderate and he blew up at me and stormed to bed. Guess I'll just stick to lots of wine.

[hausmaus]

Just realized I'm on the wrong board. Though, may be here soon at this rate!

[sessy]

I know this is the wrong board, but totally on your side. He ate your food after asking for something specific, I would be hostile.

[jojoandleo]

Uh, no. You don't ask for one type of hot pockets and then eat ALL of the other type. I mean, I could see eating one, but the entire box? What is he, bigfoot?

[CrazyLucky]

Totally on your side. But also, why did he blow up when you called him out on it? He clearly was inconsiderate. Did he seem more back to normal this morning? If this was me, I would buy myself new hot pockets and write "Crazy's Hotpockets" on the outside. DH would probably laugh because he would know he was inconsiderate.

This made me LOL for real and reminded me another reason I do not miss XH. He actually did look like bigfoot and ate everything in sight. I kid you not one time he was working at a prison (he's in construction) without his shirt and the prisoners were outside and started hollering that sasquatch was on the roof. Referring to XH. Anyway he used to eat EVERYTHING! Like 2 or 3 frozen totinos party pizzas as a snack before my actual meal I would cook for supper. I used to hide pop in the house because he would bring the whole 12 pack to work with him and drink it in a day. And never buy any at the store to replace it, I had to buy all the pop and it's like damn it I want to be able to drink a diet coke at night without having 10 cases sitting around just so there would be some for me. So I hid pop in my holiday decorations and would drink it after he went to bed.

But to OP, yes that was really inconsiderate and I'd be pissed too!

[TR]

I'd probably have thrown the box of HIS Hot Pockets at his head.

[arielroux]

Team you. Do not touch my food.

And ESPECIALLY do not touch my food when you specifically asked for something different.

[calle28]

Your H is totally wrong! He owes you a new box of hot pockets.

When I was younger, my mom would eat my restaurant leftovers, my Easter candy, my Halloween candy, etc., without telling me. Imagine being so excited to eat your delicious chocolate Easter egg the Easter Bunny brought...only to find remnants of its glittering foil, but no sign of the chocolate egg. MOM. And she was never sorry. So I'm super defensive about my food: don't even fucking think about eating it! I hope he remedies this by profusely apologizing and buying you two boxes.

[bl]

I am definitely team you on this one. I would have promptly sent his ass back out to the store to buy me the hot pockets that were MINE!

This is so sad! I totally raid my kid's candy, but know not to touch their favorites.

I hid DH's remaining Hot Pockets. Childish, I know. He hasn't apologized, but texted that he burned his tongue on the ones he ate. He's stressed at work, so I think that's where his blow up came from. I'll be bringing that issue up tonight.

[katieido]

He ate the whole box?! Have mercy

[doriswe]

Am I hallucinating, but doesn't a box of Hot Pockets only have two Hot Pockets in it?

I haven't had a hot pocket in years  So possibly.  In my head there were six.  Still, I wouldn't eat both if I had asked for a different kind.  I may be food ridiculous, though.  H and I are very particular about our ice cream and we always ask before eating the other person's preferred treat.

[katieido]

Oh.. well that is less alarming. I was also imagining 4-6 pockets in a box

Me too, but I would still be pissed. I just take back my bigfoot comment if there are only two.

[doriswe]

lol...I'd be pissed about my kind being eaten...but I'm like 99% sure they come in 2 packs.

[flatlan]

You are definitely right! Back off of my hot pockets!

Thank you for this. I was starting to feel shamed that I could eat two whole Hot Pockets!

I DIDN'T KNOW!   You aren't bigfoot, I'm sorry!  But don't eat MY hot pockets, or I will cut you (with my words).

On a related note, BF and I went grocery shopping and bought 2 different boxes of cereal; one for him and one for me. Bastard eats my kind before I can even try it. You can bet your ass I told him to go out to the store and buy more. Smart man came home with 2 boxes.

[youhadmycuriosity]

My only contribution here is that I ate an entire box of Hot Pockets for lunch today. I can confirm there are 2 in a box. That said, they were MY Hot Pockets to do with as I please, unlike your H.

Is it possible he didn't see that there were two packages and just assumed you grabbed the wrong kind? I only ask because I can see myself doing that at the end of a long day. If he knew there were two boxes, he has no excuse!

SS#2 lived with DH and I for a few years after I moved in. He would go through phases where he'd be trying to eat uber healthy, filling the pantry shelves with yucky healthy cereals, soups, etc. He'd still finish my sugar-laden cereals though, leaving me with almost nothing! I partly blame DH, though. He taught his boys that, if there is anything left in the container (milk, cereal, etc) that it's not empty and they don't need to replace it. I thanked DH, on behalf of all the roommates his boys had or would ever have, for teaching his boys to be assholes.
