      She didn’t communicate her needs well enough.

      Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.

        Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. …but that’s two things now, so…

        Didn’t communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond “get fancy dinner plates”? How do you fuck that up? If you’re unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

          These are fancy. and they’re dinner plates.

          They may not be “formal”, but they’re definitely fancy.

            No, they’re children’s dinner plates. That’s about as far from fancy as you can get. Made from sturdy plastic instead of ceramic or what have you so they don’t break when an unruly child throws it on the floor to spite their broccoli.

              Plain children’s dinner plate:

              Context is always important. Again, she meant “formal”,

              Should he have known better? Sure. But she should have known him better too

                You’ve picked out the single definition that fits your narrative, and many many things will fit the definition “not plain”. I also see that in the definition that you linked right after it says not plain it says “ornamental.” And while I’m sure there are some people who might use children’s bee plates as an ornament, I can’t imagine that there is very many.

                But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they’re not. Along with ornamental, impressive, of particular excellence, decorative, expensive, and high quality. Which these plates are not.

                    I gave objective reasons why they don’t fit the definition fancy, but you just had to latch onto the one that wasn’t.

                    You just keep picking one thing that works as an argument for you while ignoring all the ones that don’t.

          Seriously and if you fuck up buying dinner plates then it isnt the first thing they fucked up and was prolly the gf’s “this is the last straw” request and she really figured this was so stupid simple that she thought theres no way they could fuck it up.
