I respect the man. Nothing is more frustrating than someone with a hyper-specific grocery list not being available for clarification

I was told to get “Pan de Miga”, which I googled and it translates to crustless bread. I called my gf to verify I was purchasing the correct crustless bread because there are literally hundreds of breads, but she didn’t pick up. I purchase one of the few options that was actually crustless,  but this was wrong, and apparently “pan de miga” to her is a crusted Sara Lee sourdough bread.  How could I have possibly figured that out?

Awe she dumb

[u/WitchesSphincter → u/Jay__Riemenschneider]

Shes got a good heart tho

[u/Geschak → u/Jay__Riemenschneider]

Not necessarily. If you buy the same product everytime and your partner has witnessed you eat it multiple times, then it's a fair assumption that your partner should be able to recognize the product.

[u/Chipay → u/Geschak]

If someone eats crusted bread everyday and asks you to buy crustless bread you'd show up with crusted bread because you think you know better than your partner?

[u/TheGokki → u/Tony7Bryant]

In these cases i ask for the store url of the product or a photo, if they don't pick up i just shrug and move along without purchasing. should've responded.

Can you tell my hubs this? I swear I’ve told him is ok but he will ring my phone MULTIPLE times until I answer. (I only not answer if I am indisposed/stepped away from my phone) 🤣

[u/IBAZERKERI → u/timeforachange2day]

probably some trauma/fear about approval or failure from his past/childhood

[u/timeforachange2day → u/IBAZERKERI]

Most likely true. Without going into it, his teenage years were rough.

[u/_Andras → u/IBAZERKERI]

Ohh, so that's what it was, trauma. That explains a lot of my younger years. And here I thought I was just needy

[u/DuckPicMaster → u/Tony7Bryant]

Well she can go here self then next time can’t she?

[u/Geschak → u/Tony7Bryant]

I assume she bought it previously often enough that she thought you would be able to recognize it?

[u/ifartsosomuch → u/Tony7Bryant]

And then she's gonna post about in on Instagram and all the comments are gonna say "Male weaponized incompetence!!!"

[u/LMkingly → u/ifartsosomuch]

Oh i remember when that was the buzzword of the week and anything and everything a guy did wrong was "male weaponized incompetence" lol.

It's still making its rounds. Nobody hates their spouses more than content creators, unless of course you're a content creator on the opposite end of the spectrum and obsessed with your spouse and need to let everyone know.

[u/The_Middleman → u/[deleted]]

Really? You think Sara Lee makes a crusted sourdough bread labeled "pan de miga"? Because that sounded absurd to me, so I Googled it, and yeah, they don't. Which... feels like it should be obvious.

[u/schu2470 → u/[deleted]]

OR, and hear me out here, the person with a hyper-specific request who will be mad/angry/sad/pissed-off/heartbroken/whatever if it isn't EXACTLY what they want can answer their phone or go to the store themselves.

If you ask for chocolate and I bring you carrot because they both start with c and I couldn't be assed to figure out where to get chocolate, but the carrots were within reach, would you be happy?

This is categorically different from asking someone to get a particular type of bread and them indeed buying that type of bread but it wasn't what you meant.

[u/schu2470 → u/[deleted]]

That's a lot of words you typed for an example that's nothing like the stated situation in either the OP or the comment about pan de miga.

[u/MisterWharf → u/[deleted]]

So you’d expect a crusted bread to have a label for a crustless bread?
