    I would just be honest otherwise he might just do it again

    Is that like a valid thing to do though? Or am I just being super selfish and crazy?
    If I am, please let me know and I will promptly get over it :P

    You're asking whether it's appropriate to communicate things you feel to your boyfriend? Think about that for a minute.
    Oh yeah. Spot on.

    I think the main issue here is that she feels bad and a bit guilty and doesn't want to hurt his feelings.

    this has happened to me before... i've learned i just have to get things i want for myself if i want to make sure i get the right thing... sucks when i'm feeling lazy but its better than getting the wrong thing and feeling bad about not eating it

    smile at him. tell him you forget to say you wanted the other kind and that it was your mistake. thank him for being so thoughtful. ask him if he'd like it instead because you don't really like the type he got you.

    everybody makes mistakes. i'm sure your boyfriend will understand.

    This ^^^

    Tell him you should have been more specific and you will try to remember that next time. Thank him for being so nice to pick it up anyway. If he is a good boyfriend he will understand. Say it in a happy/neutral tone, DON'T say it with a guilt trip tone, DON'T say it sarcastically. Just be honest and sincere.

    I have done this with my husband before. He does it with me too when I accidentally grab the wrong thing, or he isn't specific enough. Honest communication is important.


    The collarbone idea sounds good too though.... ;)
