Do I confess and take the teasing or hide this melted board and say we never had a grey chopping board?

  1. Judging by your 1980s Mexicana tiles, I assume you burnt this on your hand knitted poncho that your auntie brought back from Cancun in 1993. A style so hot, even a polypropylene chopping board could not survive direct contact.

    I’d take the teasing, wait for them to finish, then leave, starting a new life as a Butlins redcoat in Skegness. Follow your dreams Eduardo.

  2. Take the chopping board and post it through the neighbours door. Then go buy a new chopping board. Then post that through the neighbours door. Then go and buy a new chopping board and post that through the neighbours door. Then go and buy a new chopping board and post that through the neighbours door. Do this 50 times. Then apologise to the neighbor and explain you were drunk and ask for the chopping boards back. Then ask them why they burnt one of them. It’s what I’d do anyway.

  3. But an entirely different and slightly more expensive chopping board and deny everything.

  4. Snap the bit off, put it away, then tommorow get it back out and shout “what have you done to this?!”

  5. Given how well playing with hot things has worked out so far for you, I reckon gaslighting might be inadvisable

  6. Do you have kids? Blame them, that’s what I do, especially when food gets eaten or stuff gets broken.

  7. All my plastic chopping boards are like that. All my wooden ones have burn marks on them. Take a carving knife to it and remove the lumpy bits = good as new…ish. Then get an induction hob.

  8. Buy a chopping board in a slightly different shade of grey and insist it’s always been that colour.

  9. Don’t use plastic chopping boards sorry..
    Wood has its own flaws, but I’m sure I have enough microplatics in my balls, I’d rather not be responsible for mixing some freshly chopped pp into my pp

    Thd right answer is to read a couple articles, become an anti plastic fanatic, and if the other half looks suspicious at the new glass top and wooden boards, replace the plastic tupparware with glass also and the Teflon pan with ceramic / steel
    Please note, this way you will be teased also likely…

  10. Just take the flak for it it’s not that bad. It’s not like it’s been in the oven and made a huge mess.
