My wife just bought the most disgusting, rotten bag of grapes... an animal that loved grapes would puke looking at these things.

ME: "We are either taking these back or tossing them."

WIFE: "We can pick around them, I've been eating them."

Which means she was feeding them to our daughter while walking around the store.

ME LOUDLY: "These are fucking disgusting, we are not keeping these."

WIFE: "Why are you treating me like this over grapes."

IN MY HEAD: "Maybe because any fucking life form with any fucking sort of intelligence would have inspected that rancid bag before buying it and feeding it to our child."

These things were red grapes, over 3/4's of them were black or white with mold, the other quarter which were possibly edible if plucked off the neighboring puke were a day away from molding.

She wastes more money on grapes, and no there are no other major problems in our relationship... but fuck... our daughter (18 months) was eating these fucking things...

Throw them grapes at her face and shout MORE GRAPES

Why do I hear an Eastern European accent when I read that.

 

[olimario]

I know she's in the wrong, but don't get so angry with her. Talk to her calmly and explain that you'd like to take them back for a better bag. Getting upset will just lead to her getting defensive.

You kinda come off sounding like an asshole (in your own story, no less). No offense.

its not his fault she baited him with "why are you treating me like this over grapes"

 

[Grifter]

You're a grown men venting about your wife on the GA forum. Think about that.

 

[levious]

blowing up over grapes... and you wonder why sex doesn't come easy?

 

[bishoptl]

What sort of idiot (no disrespect Boj) feeds their kids moldy grapes? Or "picks around them"? Then gets wound up when said stupidity is pointed out? I'd be ticked off too.

 

[Kiriku]

We need pics!






Nooo, pics of the grapes!!

 

[Keyser Soze]

This is just sour grapes

 

[Date of Lies]

This is a weird situation, I almost wouldn't know how to react. I guess I'd try speaking to her about it as if she were a mental patient.

 

[AntoneM]

maybe she was trying to make raisins??

 

[BojTrek]

The way I think of it... a piece of shit, surrounded by shit, is still shit. Just me...

I will take a quick picture and post...

 

[WedgeX]

"This was all over grapes!"

WIFE: words

IN MY HEAD: "Maybe because any fucking life form with any fucking sort of intelligence would have inspected that rancid bag before buying it and feeding it to our child."

You're acting like a whiny ass over (probably not even a handul of) old grapes, and you wonder why your wife thinks you're the bad guy?

 

[UltimateMarioMan]

Don't you know. In an argument the woman is always right. No matter how wrong she may be you are wrong she is right!

 

[demon]

I dunno, that was pretty brainless on her part to buy a bag of moldy, rotten grapes, and to feed them to her kid.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Even though she was wrong to feed your child rotting grapes, you still handled it wrong. You turned a situation where you had the high ground into one where you're in the basement. Smove.

 

[Atrex]

i dont know i think if he had said what he thought in his head out loud then maybe yeah that would of been over-reacting, but really he only said the grapes were fucking disgusting, which they were, so i dont see that he did anything wrong.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

women are SO FUN......

 

[Baconäger]

Divorce her.

 

[Ghost]

How the fuck did you get married before doing the grape pick test? Thats the second thing i look for in a woman.

 

[Deleted member 4784]

I'm confused: did she want to buy the grapes because they were cheap (due to being molded) or because your daughter had already started eating them before you got to the check out counter? Either way, if you were to bring the molded grapes back to the store along with your receipt, I'm sure that they would have been more than happy to return your money (assuming this all occured within the same day of the purchase).

I can understand that you were upset out of consideration to the health of your daughter, but I don't see why you had to take such a nasty tone with your wife; especially when (I'm assuming) the argument took place right in front of your own daughter. What you should have said to your wife was: "These grapes are molded and could give both you and our daughter food poisoning. I care too much about both of your health to have you eat them." That way she would know you were not being hostile towards her, but simply showing concern for both her and your daughter's health. Then you could have followed up by offering to buy her two additional bags of fresh grapes so that she wouldn't feel you were simply trying to control what she could pick out to eat/purchase at the store.

Your wife was in the wrong but that doesn't make it excusable to berate her for it in public or in front of your daughter. Obviously, your concern from the beginning was for them, so you should be more considerate in addressing that concern with your wife. Hopefully if you keep that in mind, you and your wife won't get into any more fights over fruits and vegetables in the future. :lol

I TOTALLY agree, I should have said "babe, these have to go back or in the garbage... they will seriously get you or the baby sick." I over-reacted...

I just got so pissed when she said basically... "eat around the mold"

Here you go... don't puke guys... taken before we left for a b-day party.

and another one...

 

[BojTrek]

She wasn't being cheap... she probably just grabbed the first bag on top... I check fruits/vegetables in/out, up/down, smell, look... that's just me obviously...

...how very scary. All ye had to do was pick off the bad ones and wash the rest, like most fruit buyers do

 

[iapetus]

Meh. I've eaten from worse, and I thought I was a whiney little bastard when it came to fruit that was going off.

 

[BojTrek]

yeah, let's pick out the 20% that are good and eat them before tomorrow when they turn white and black like their neighbors...

I'm sorry, they were surrounded by other moldy grapes... they are not healthy...

Wait til summer for a good batch damnit...

 

[karasu]

WTF? Those grapes are nowhere near as bad as you described. Those things posed no threat to your child. :/

 

[Monk]

OMG, thats gross.

 

[Vandiger]

I think your wife was right, you are a whiny ass bastard. Those grapes don't look as bad as your description.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

what's the thing in your garbage that says "Shark Tale"?

 

[Space Age Playboy]

Looks like less than 20% are bad, not the other way around. You should go apologize to your wife.

 

[belgurdo]

you are a whiny ass bastard.

Because it needed repeating

 

[iapetus]

I was expecting something more like this, at least:

Maybe with actual live maggots.

Those aren't all that bad.

Did either of you try...washing them?

 

[The Interrobanger]

:lol :lol :lol

What the hell is wrong with 90% of those grapes?

Just wash them off and you're good to go, it's not mold.

 

[BojTrek]

Are you guys looking at the freaking zoomed-in view? Yes, the 2nd. picture they do not look bad and look like they just need a wash... but I am telling you...

Grape-Ape wouldn't eat that shit...




Oh... and I did apologize...

 

[Deleted member 4784]

LOL @ all of the guys in this topic who are saying, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Those are perfectly good grapes!!1"

ROFL... "Just eat around it!!"

Grooooosssss

 

[iapetus]

Are you guys looking at the freaking zoomed-in view?

What, the zoomed-in view where most of the grapes on the right look just fine, and there's still some edible stuff on the left?

Yup, looking at that.

 

[miyuru]

Put them on her fucking beans, like that dude whose mom put oranges on his :lol

 

[Claus]

Those things look fucking rancid. The ones that look fine are probably rotting from inside out. Definately would not have paid for those.

 

[WedgeX]

Definitly looking at the zoomed in ones. The entire right side looks fine, and some of the left. Like I said...a little washing and it would be just fine.

Oh... and I did apologize...

:lol
The dots made me laugh.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

haha.

I would feed those grapes to a baby. (not the fucked up ones)

 

[Chipopo]

Put them on her fucking beans, like that dude whose mom put oranges on his :lol

You've never prepared food for yourself in your life, right?
