Me and my friend went to pizza express amd i got dough balls, i said she can have one and she dipped it in the butter then bite, then dipped it again.
In general i will find this disgusting but to top it all off she is ill
So i said to her why would you dip your eaten dough ball in the butter when you know you are ill and she said im being rude but how? Isnt this common sense?

Aibu?

She can't be that ill if she's well enough to be out for dinner. Don't share food if you're going to get so stressy over minor things, it wouldn't bother me that much unless the person had D&V or something in which case they shouldn't be out at all.

YouTheCat · 20/01/2016 18:11

She's a minger. Never offer her a doughball again!

CaptainCrunch · 20/01/2016 18:13

I'm sure she didn't mean to be rude, just a bit thoughtless.

PastaPrincess · 20/01/2016 18:15

I think your reaction is a tad OTT, but double dipping is a definite no no. I'm sure she didn't do it maliciously though.

SoleBizzz · 20/01/2016 18:15

See a Doctor immediately.

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 20/01/2016 18:16

Nope, never acceptable. Vile habit!

MuttonDressedAsMutton · 20/01/2016 18:16

You have without doubt now got the World's Worst case of Killer Cooties. Go home, paint a black cross on your door, never go out again.

ChippyMinton · 20/01/2016 18:16

Ugh, Double-dipping. YANBU

MamaLazarou · 20/01/2016 18:16

I don't see the problem.

Lucymatilde · 20/01/2016 18:17

I hate doughballs

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 20/01/2016 18:19

I didn't even know double dipping was a thing till I was 22 Blush

YANBU to be annoyed, I don't think you were rude.

It wouldn't bother me though

Adeleslostbeehive · 20/01/2016 18:21

Call 101

HermioneJeanGranger · 20/01/2016 18:22

Really doesn't bother me, tbh.

Katedotness1963 · 20/01/2016 18:22

I suggest you show her the Seinfeld episode about double dipping. If George found it disgusting...and he ate an eclair out of the bin!

Adeleslostbeehive · 20/01/2016 18:22

Lol joking. I think loads of people thinking double dipping is ok. The chances of you catching an illness from her- for the double dipping specifically- are tiny. Don't worry about it and don't be mean to your friend. You probably embarrassed her

StiickEmUp · 20/01/2016 18:23

My dad tells me never to eat bar nuts.
He said men go to the loo, not hands washed and then rifle through the nuts bowl.

I hate double dipping.
And wee covered bar nuts.

TiredButFineODFOJ · 20/01/2016 18:24

Yup I too was late to learn what double dipping is and what a social pariah it made me. I would have thought nothing of doing this until it was nicely pointed out to me that perhaps I could tear the bread before dipping.

dustarr73 · 20/01/2016 18:24

Ugh hate double dipping.Some people just have no manners.

TurnOffTheTv · 20/01/2016 18:25

I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose to piss you off, probably just a bit thoughtless. I'd be a bit annoyed if my friend called me disgusting.

GingerNutRiskIt · 20/01/2016 18:26

Meh...
Me and my friend double dip with a dominos and the garlic sauce. We love each other enough to share cooties Grin

steff13 · 20/01/2016 18:26

It's gross, but maybe it as an accident and she got defensive because you called her it in it. I'd have just gotten my own butter after she did that.

George did the double dipping in Seinfeld.

Iliketoparrty · 20/01/2016 18:27

Double dipping is claty. YANBU.

DimlowChips · 20/01/2016 18:27

I seem to remember Myth Busters covering the double dip concern and they disproved that it passed on more germs than just talking over the food... I think... Will have to go and look it up now!

It is a bit grim though, like licking the food really

Bananalanacake · 20/01/2016 18:27

I thought double dipping meant having sex with 2 people at the same time (but not together).

WilLiAmHerschel · 20/01/2016 18:27

I don't see the big deal. It's not like she spat in the bowl.
