To think this is disgusting.

Over my boyfriends house and his family are eating their dinner. His mum can't finish hers and offers the remainder of her corn on the cob around that she had already eaten some of. No one else wants it so his brothers girlfriends has it.

Am I the only one that thinks she's vile? Boyfriends mum had had her mouth on that then she takes it. Boak.

It's not something I would do

LumpyMcBentface · 30/08/2016 19:43

Wouldn't be a problem for me.

Donthateprocreate · 30/08/2016 19:43

Grow up! How old are you?! She's not "vile" at all.

Donthateprocreate · 30/08/2016 19:44

Oh and Biscuit

Grouchymare · 30/08/2016 19:44

I would do that with something my kids had left - or my husband but he doesn't leave stuff. I'm really not that grossed out sorry.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 30/08/2016 19:45

Bit harsh using vile to describe herHmm

user1471517900 · 30/08/2016 19:45

Hope you haven't (god forbid) kissed anyone on the mouth OP...... Some disgusting people like to do this for FUN!

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 30/08/2016 19:45

Vile is a bit ott.

Not something I would do, but I wouldn't really bat an eyelid if someone else did.

Seekingadvice123 · 30/08/2016 19:46

Vile??? That's a bit of an over reaction don't you think. What a horrible way to describe someone simply because they offered unfinished food.

SoupDragon · 30/08/2016 19:46

yeah, right...

user1471734618 · 30/08/2016 19:46

meh,,,,,
I thought it was going to be something truly disgusting.
I am most disappointed.

AnotherTimeMaybe · 30/08/2016 19:47

Yeah I find it disgusting too, if it was pieces of chicken yes but corn on the cob with all the slime of the drool noway

Omgkitties · 30/08/2016 19:47

Better than wasting it IMO.

Saying she's vile for one thing is a bit OTT don't you think? You make think sharing the corn on cob is vile but she isn't. Sounds like someone doesn't like their SIL. Grin

I'd do it, guess I'm vile too. Oh well, I'll cope.

booklooker · 30/08/2016 19:48

meh Not a big problem, I am sure I hav done this loads of times

Donthateprocreate · 30/08/2016 19:49

Sounds like someone doesn't like their SIL. grin

I agree. Sounds like more than just sharing corn.

Or you're jealous that you didn't the corn? Grin

SaucyJack · 30/08/2016 19:49

Vile is a bit much, but even I wouldn't eat my MIL's leftovers- and I eat off the floor.

It's a bit..... intimate.

dailymaillazyjournos · 30/08/2016 19:49

Yak! YANBU. Slice of meat etc but not not something that someone else had been slurping on unless you are close to them.

tofutti · 30/08/2016 19:50

No one's forcing YOU to eat it so YABU for calling her 'vile'.

I wouldn't have eaten it myself (and nor do I understand how people can share toothbrushes) but I certainly don't think less of people that would.

JacquesHammer · 30/08/2016 19:51

I'd do it

Soubriquet · 30/08/2016 19:52

Oh no! Someone is eating food!

sohelpmegoad · 30/08/2016 19:53

I think you need to ditch the boyfriend, they probably all share towels as well as all sorts of other habits that they will expect you to join in without throwing up

BettyOBarley · 30/08/2016 19:53

I wouldn't do it and would be a bit surprised if I saw it, but agree vile is a bit harsh!

Willywolly · 30/08/2016 19:54

YABU!! What a ridiculous thread. Grow up would you.

I'd do it without a thought. Also don't think sharing toothbrushes is the same as having corn that someone's bitten into!!

I agree with the posters that say their seems to be more and you don't like your SIL.

BastardBernie · 30/08/2016 19:55

That is disgusting, I agree.

Smrendell · 30/08/2016 19:56

Been with boyfriend for 2 years so not ditching him over his bothers girlfriend being disgusting.

She's not my "SIL" either.
