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

So when she was offering it to her DP and other friend, where were you? Why didn't you say something?

I work with a really annoying woman at work. Every time I am eating anything (I try and eat secretly now) she comes up says ' what are you eating?' and without even asking dips her hand in and takes some. Pi**es me off so much. I don't even go in the staff room now and go and eat in my car instead.

Why would it be up for grabs? She gave it to her husband.

Yeah, the idea that everyone at the table is entitled to your food and you were rude to only offer it to your partner is weird af to me.

I even gasp offer to let my husband try some of my food/drink/dessert and don’t offer to anyone else because gasp he’s my husband and gets preferential treatment.

Yes, she is very weird. I’m not even very germ adverse but a burger handled and bitten by one person would not be something I would choose to eat. Unless it was my husband.

Then she offered it around, that is so strange.

Classic MN where people insit the OP is wrong and also don't properly read the opening post.

Look, op, your just plain wrong because I was there and you wasn't. It's not all weird handing around a hamburger that you all take bites from. In fact its very normal here to order a 6lb burger from McDs and we just pass it around, doesn't everyone? 🙄

We aren't big eaters so normally buy a kids happy meal and that fills up all 6 of us. We then pass what we couldn't eat around the in laws.

I hope you feel suitably gaslighted now. Also it wasn't HER oh, he's married to YOU. You just don't really know who your partner is. Very easy to make this mistake. I keep thinking I'm married to the postman ( these men all look the same)

Anyone else think your friend must have misheard your DPs response? Miscommunication no?

Would your DP have wanted it after your friend had taken a bite?

I don’t think you are unreasonable for being annoyed and I understand why you would start a thread because I think I would be wondering why someone would do what your friend did and I’d be wanting an opinion on what is very bizarre behaviour.

Does your friend normally play pass the parcel with meals? Did she snatch it quickly before you had a chance to say your DP wanted it?

I often order a burger when we eat out at a specific place because they are lovely but huge, I save half for my DP and he orders a smaller meal then normal because he knows he’ll be having half of mine, if my friend attempted to take it from him he’d probably growl 😂. If he then had to watch it get passed round then I don’t think he’d be impressed at all and he certainly wouldn’t want it after someone else had their chops round it!

I don’t know why this has caused so much bickering amongst posters but it’s certainly been entertaining!

The burger version of Pass the Parcel. Yummy yum yum.

Your friend was bizarre. Greedy and bizarre, if she scoffed half of your otherwise claimed leftovers.

How did the third-hand burger offerees react? Who finished the burger?

Think I would have just cut a bit off for her when she'd asked to take a bite and then put the rest aside for dh.

Her behaviour was weird though. Almost seems like she was doing it to prove some sort of point? Has there been any incidents with food sharing before?

The responses show that many people often don’t read the OP well enough before responding.

OP, I feel like everyone has gone mad except you and me.

I would also offer to my DH and not 'the table'. I would assume that DP who is used to sharing saliva with me, and has a healthy appetite would be very happy to eat it, whilst non-family would rather not. Plus (minor point but...) you mentioned you were all paying for your own food which makes this a '@knowledgeablyclueless Family Burger'.

If friend wanted a bit BEFORE DP got his chops on it and you said 'yes', then she should have taken a bite and returned it to YOUR DP who had already staked his claim on it.

It was not 'hers' to pass around.

YANBU

BANGS GAVEL

Jeez it’s a second hand half eaten burher, who cares?!

...or

You were all splitting the bill, you and DH ordered a huge starter while everyone else went straight to mains. They all finished and had to watch you two ploughing through your vast quantities of food. DH was lining up your leftovers as a little something extra before you worked your way through the desert menu. Friend decides to put a stop to your over-consumption and also speed the meal along. 🤔

Nailed it 😂 you win the award for the best mumsnet reading between the lines award

Next time just stick it on his plate. Or just cut a bit for your friend to try.

It would seem some posters are being deliberately obtuse, just for the arseholeness.

OP did it even get back to your DP? Although he probably didn't want it after that anyway.

She knew he was going to have it by the can I have a bite first.

This can't have come out of nowhere. How else is she a CF/tight?

I don't get the feeling that @knowledgeablyclueless DH did eat what was left after everyone else had had a bite.

Did your partner finish the sloppy...fifths?

@memyselfi - the OP's partner didn't refuse it, he didn't get the chance after the lady friend took a bite and then offered it to her partner and other friend!

Weird and bit disgusting. Passing food around taking bites and then expecting someone to eat the left overs…🤮 no one touches Joey’s food , or mine.

This. A lot of people on here remind me of my mum - She also doesn't like most of her friends. Although OPs story is far calmer than most of these friend stories on MN.

It's a burger OP. Don't sweat it.

That’s weird for a friend to want to eat a burger that’s been in your mouth 🤢

What burger was it

Beef

Chicken

Squeaky cheese
