MIL buys broccoli - the horror

I hate this name, but that aside, [this "rant"](https://www.removeddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/comments/iwjt4w/madame_poopypants_strikes_again/) really has nothing in it.

You tell your DH the broccoli needs picking. Ok. He tells SOMETHING to his mum. She then goes and buys some broccoli.

What's the motive. What's the reason. We've been assured her MIL is a huge "cunt" per OPs own description, and that she's absolutely horrible. But her last past alone also makes mention of "getting on in age and less energy" when she possibly accidentally opens OPs mail.

And here she could easily have misheard. Because we have no idea what DH actually said to her. Nor how much of what he did say was understood by her. He could've said "we need to do the broccoli today" thinking it's super obvious, but if she isn't in the garden, or spending time with OP (which seems like she doesn't), she may not have even registered the plant broccoli and just thought "fine I'll go get it".

Everyone is deciding it's some manipulative cunty move though.
