To think my friend shouldn't have eaten my burger?

237 replies

Out for dinner a couple of nights ago.

Me and DP, friend and her BF, and another friend.

All paying for our own food.

I ordered a burger but didn't finish it all, so offered it to DP. He said Yes please, but let me finish mine first.

Immediately after that, friend said 'Oh could I try a bite first?' - she ate about half of what was left, then proceeded to offer it to her DP, and when he said no, our friend.

AIBU to think this was fucking weird? Me and DP were both a bit like, Erm, wtf to say something at the time!

If someone asks to try it and theybare not immediate family then cut a small piece off the uneaten side and put it on their plate. Her eating it stright from where you ate it and passing it around is weird and gross. I would have cut a bit off for her to try and then given the rest to my partner. Not handed half eaten chewed food around the table. Actually youre all weird in this scenario lol

To add, assumed they would be cutting a portion off, you don't bite into someone's burger then pass it on unless family, even then not always. X

Jeannie88 · 19/04/2024 22:28

It was a case of sharing really. Yes your dh said yes but no problem with others asking for a bite to taste? She asked,you said OK? X

Seriously, 1200 Israelis were slaughtered in the Hamas Attack. The Gaza strip is on fire with 33.000 also being slaughtered in retaliation. Iran is declaring war in the middle east. Putin is responsible for tens of thousands slaughtered. And we've never all been closer to being incinerated.

Thank god for people who have weird friends and worry about who ate the burger!

By your remaining MN better shut down then.

Don't get why someone would want someone else's left overs unless it's dh food soo weird

RecklessGoddess · 19/04/2024 00:45

I'm shocked anyone has said you're being unreasonable, that's so messed up. I would never dream of doing something like that!

Bernardo1 · 18/04/2024 21:49

Really, who cares!

NotTerfNorCis · 18/04/2024 21:34

Personally I find the idea of eating someone else's half eaten burger pretty grim.

Op were you doing that thing where you pretend not to want to eat your food so you can give it to your partner?

is that why your friend made a point of them sharing it, as they all knew you weren’t eating so you could give it to him?

does he expect you to do that?

What thing is this?

You think she should have sent the burger to Gaza?

Perfectly normal I often leave food and only took glad to.ket someone finish it. I've even let strangers finish my meal before when they've asked.

burnoutbabe · 18/04/2024 18:26

Indeed what is this burger made of that so many people wanted to try it?

Mumof3confused · 18/04/2024 18:25

She’s really strange

HappyHolidays22 · 18/04/2024 18:21

I think your friend is weird.

pineapplesundae · 18/04/2024 18:13

I think it’s rude and weird! I wouldn’t want anyone to actually bite my burger, I would maybe have cut a small bite. And what’s so unusual about a burger that she needed to try it? If she was still hungry, she should have asked if she could have it. You know what to say next time she asks for a bite.

catonmyback · 18/04/2024 17:57

Honestly? Is this really worth a thread?

so so so so petty

funinthesun19 · 18/04/2024 17:45

Ew. It’s no wonder your dp chose not to eat it after your friend had had her mouth on it.

Her partner had the right idea and I bet he was cringing at being offered a burger that was yours and therefore he didn’t want a bite of. Made even more cringey because your friend actually thought your dp would still want it after she (and her partner if he had a bite) had a bite.

I can't believe the way this has kicked off 🤣 If only said burger knew what a phenomenon it has become.

Well it's apparently the size of the MN chicken that feeds a family for a week so of course people are interested!

She’s explained that, she thought she would take a bite then give it to her partner,

🤮

Yeah but that's gross. If my DH did that I'd be quietly fuming with him and pointedly not eat any of the burger afterwards and have a right go at him later 😆

OP why did you give her the burger though?! Were you just so surprised that she asked that you didn't know how to say no?
