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

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!

It is a bit weird. If no one else wanted it then that would be fine but your husband had already said he was going to have it.

No, she offered it to HER OH, who said no, and then when her OH said no, she offered it to our friend. Before she asked to try a bite, MY DP had already said Yes please.

Why didn't you say no when she asked? She's your friend, it shouldn't be that difficult to say "nope sorry, DP already has dibs! Get in faster next time" and move on.

You didn't want it, she ate a couple of bites, offered back to your OH who said no. Why shouldn't she finish it? Better than binning it surely, and her finding something else to eat (assuming she was hungry)?

I mean it would be nicer if she had cut off a piece to try - but that doesn't seem what you were worried about?

It doesn't seem that weird to me. You said you didn't want it.

When she said ‘can I have a bite’ you should have said no , at the end of the day the burger was going spare what does it matter who ate it .

Sometimes I feel like people on mumsnet do not really like their friends? It must be lonely.

I'd find that annoying! It is a bit awkward to have to say no if asked in that situation.

MILTOBE · 17/04/2024 11:31

But why didn't your husband say, "Oy, that's mine!"?

trippily · 17/04/2024 11:31

Why was it weird? You didn't want it!

She asked, you could have said no

I don't think it's weird.
