To think this is disgusting and rude of my friend

[bellaSorela]

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?

Double dipping is gross but I am constantly at how many people will do it [vom]

I had never heard of double dipping as a disgusting horrifying tie them to the stake now crime until mn glad my friends and family have a tad more common sense

I don't like it when people double dip but I would never point it out to them, I'd carry on eating the dough balls dipless

Double dipping is unnecessary though when sharing food.

It's ok to double dip when it's your own food and you're not planning on sharing isn't it? Or should you not double dip just in case one of your meal companions asks if they can have one?

I double dip.

Well, if I know I want to I would break the food in half first.

Or dip with the not bitten part.

Depends who I'm with.

Double dipping with your own food is fine IMO.

The uber hygiene brigade never fail to amaze me. I worked with someone once who was all "ugh, disgusting" a really precious little Miss wrinkle nose. "ugh, I couldn't touch a lump of real meat" "ugh, unfamilar food" "ugh, my baby got her hands dirty - she'll be ill". Never worked out where the preciosity came from.

It's not 'uber hygiene' it's just manners.

At a family party years ago one uncle ate chicken drumsticks, double dipping each one into the mayonnaise with each bite, then carefully placed the chewed bone back with the rest of the drumsticks. I being 10, was looking around for an adult to stop him but no-one said a word but everyone saw what he was doing.

Vile. Just vile.

You see even at 10 you knew it was wrong tibba. That's horrible.

Agree definitely don't double dip, use your knife and fork to cut the dough ball in half before rolling it around in the butter.

why would I want to eat food that has someone else's saliva in it, same way I wouldn't say 'please just lick my food before I eat it'

No double dipping unless it's agreed by mutual consent.

don't be like George

other things to worry about

Yep double dipping. Genius Seinfeld episode.

I double dip dough balls. Wouldn't occur to me not to. Eat a dough ball with a knife & fork? Really? To me, that's really odd.

I wouldn't double dip shared dough balls.

Lol double dipping means something entirely different where I am from & it would be extremely rude to do that in pizza express....

Still mortified at my double dipping at a mum and baby gathering. I didn't think. It certainly wasn't to be annoying. I did notice no one else had any of the dip though . Never done it since.

I have never heard of this! Must be a double dipper

Im going to call 101 and report her

Well that's a bit OTT bella just tell her to stop it.

Thank God someone mentioned George.

what's a dough ball ?
