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?

Seriously ? Like a savoury doughnut ?
Agree about double dipping though , I gag if my husband of nearly 30 years does it and it's just the two of us Grin

They are basically balls of garlic bread.

I dont mind my dp or kids but any one else no.I had a friend who never brushed her teeth so i used to order her own dips.Plus what if someone ois a smoker you would be able to taste that.Ugh no.Disgusting.

Im glad you pulled her up,she is just annoyed because she knows you are right.

Hihohoho1 · 20/01/2016 20:10

Fucking hell I wouldn't give it a second thought as all my friends and family are pretty normal.

Why on earth would it matter? Sneezing into your face or nose picking yes, otherwise have a bloody grip.

And op she's your friend. Why would you embarrass or upset her like that.

ChatShitGetBanged · 20/01/2016 20:13

YUK

I had a disgusting friend like this once, her gross food habits were one of the many reasons I am no longer her friend

ewww ewww eww

Aramynta · 20/01/2016 20:17

OP, had you already double dipped your dough balls? If so, it's a touch hypocritical.

headinhands · 20/01/2016 20:17

When your title said disgusting and rude I thought she'd shat in your handbag!

NorthernRosie · 20/01/2016 20:20

I'd share a doughball with a friend. It's only saliva. What are you scared of.

Bettercallsaul1 · 20/01/2016 20:21

I once did this and had to leave the country. I have changed my identity and live under heavy disguise, but never really feel safe from detection.

Please don't be tempted to do this, even once.

I have a funny story about Pizza Express dough balls,,, I was in PE for my birthday (years ago) with my then BF, as always we got the dough balls to share. He would slice them in the middle and spread in some garlic butter and then he says to me in all seriousness 'You've got to get it all in your mouth before it starts dripping'. I screamed the place down laughing,,,

Horton glad you posted that classic Seinfeld clip.

Was looking for it myself but you beat me to it!

NorthernRosie · 20/01/2016 20:22

I bite a chip dip in ketchup bite dip in Mayo.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 20/01/2016 20:28

Correct dough ball etiquette - take ball, tear in half, enrobe in garlic butter, eat. All forms of aforementioned method are acceptable but sharing? NO!!!!!! Hmm

BeaufortBelle · 20/01/2016 20:30

Well there are undertones of "my God, you used my tooth brush, oh throw it away, it's disgusting - shock, horror. gasp" and then after about a hour "I would really like it if you'd give me a blow job". Ahem Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 20/01/2016 20:33

Bit OT BB. We've gone from two friends sharing dough balls to blow jobs and toothbrushes?

shazzarooney99 · 20/01/2016 20:34

Its not the biggest crime in the world is it?

Sparklingbrook · 20/01/2016 20:37

Well no, I do think there are more serious crimes. Possibly. It's not up there with murder or anything.

GwenethPaltrowIamnot · 20/01/2016 20:52

Ok deep breath ..... We had one of those massive jars of mustard that you buy from France , a friend heaped some on their knife , loaded their plate , then licked the fucking knife and went in again
Dry heaving thinking about it

BeaufortBelle · 20/01/2016 20:53

I don't think it's great sparkling but if it happens between two old friends, I don't think it's the end of the world the doughball of course. It's not quite the same as a drinks party with every Tom, Dick and Harry dipping their cocktail sausage in the same devilled sauce, or carrot sticks in the Houmous. I'd think Hmm but I'd keep it to myself. At a drinks party I tend to just avoid the dippy things.

correctly she should have torn the doughball in two and dipped each bit sep. But if she is ill why did you even offer
