What's pathetic about paying for something and wanting to have it rather than watch someone else who didn't pay for it get it scot-free because they share DNA with someone?

Because he didn't pay for it.
I paid for it. It was a five pack and I very generously gave him one last week. Then I ate two, and had two left. They were mine to give away.
When he bought them on my behalf, I asked for one Crunchie - he couldn't buy one, so bought a 5 pack, which I paid for at the time.
Well, I think I did. I seemed to hand over a lot of money for a piddly sandwich and a yoghurt.
Then one of the men said he had paid for one of the Crunchie bars
Because he didn't pay for it.

Sounds like you are on a winner Jukesy, goes to shop to get a single Crunchie, finds that a 5 pack is 2 for the price of 1, flogs a single 5 pack to Barb claiming ownership of one Crunchie. Jukesy then sells the same pack he sold to Barbara to some bloke. Huge disagreement, Jukesy claims his single Crunchie and pockets the second multi pack:lux: :lux: :lux:

Usually stuffed with rice and vegetable and herbs. Not sure exactly what though. You can buy them in a tin from Turkish shops :p
And they are nothing like a cabbage leaf. They are a vine leaf, very different :)

He only got it right if he is going to change all my appliances to black ones.
Which I doubt he will and which I don't want changed, anyway.

Today I learnt my dog, Fin, has a taste for Speckled hen. And a man at the club we went to today learnt not to put his pint on the floor. :)
I can just picture this :D :D

Did he drink much of it?

Don't worry, I bought him another one (the man, not Fin!). I told him not to put the next one on the floor though. :)

Only about a 3rd of it. He was obviously very thirsty because he'd been chasing balls with a border collie for ages. It was nearer than his water bowl.
