Fucking weirdest situation ever with housemate

I had had a horrible day at work and she kindly made me dinner. Stomach churning and feeling sick, I had a few bits but didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Then found a hair baked into it and felt even worse but obviously didn’t want to say anything. Thanked her profusely and took rest to my room to finish off...

Thanked her again on faceache today and said I had finished it. Big mistake but my mind is on other things right now. And didn’t want to hurt her feelings. She then asks if there’s any leftover (from my plate! It was a small portion of vegetable stew with rice!) then she would like to have it so can I put it in the fridge for her. I then repeat I have finished.

I’m in my room exhausted and she knocks twice asking how I am (but also to look for the plate I assume?!) - I awkwardly suggest we go downstairs but she clocks and asks me to put it in the fridge, and says she will eat it?! I say again I will and then she says I don’t have to lie! I awkwardly apologise and say it was delicious but my appetite had gone and I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

We then make awkward small talk while she spoons it into a small Tupperware tub.

I make myself a cup of tea and return to my room, not knowing what the fuck just happened. All this drama over a plate of food! I do realise I was in the wrong but I’m about to be fucking sacked from my job and then this happens. I’m not in the mood Sad

Sorry - this whole situation happened last night. And she came in today to find the evidence

She’s going to eat rice from your plate, that you’d eaten from, that’s been sitting out in your room all night? Is that right?
I think she’ll get food poisoning.

BigBaboonBum · 30/01/2018 22:26

She sounds like a proper weirdo tbh

ThisLittleKitty · 30/01/2018 22:26

Why oh why didn't you just flush it down the toilet!

ThisLittleKitty point taken but my room is a private space and other things are going on right now - just trying to get through each day!

She sounds like a right weirdo. Who in their right mind would want to eat somebody else's left overs.

If it were me and roles were reversed, I wouldn’t have fucking brought it up back up, I would accept they were stressed and leave it. Fucking weird

It won't be long until her stomachs churning and she feels sick 😷

ThisLittleKitty · 30/01/2018 22:28

Kinda nasty she wanted to eat your left overs though! Is she short on money?? Even then.. Yuck.

gamerchick · 30/01/2018 22:29

Bizarre, maybe she doesn’t cook much Confused

Lol at the Daily Mail thing Grin OP I'm gagging at the hair alone, poor you.

user1493413286 · 30/01/2018 22:32

She wanted your leftovers that had been sitting in your room all night? That’s odd in itself and being pushy about it is even weirder.

gamerchick · 30/01/2018 22:32

Even more bizarre then. I got nothing Grin

NSEA · 30/01/2018 22:34

Why not just give her the plate though? Seems weird to debate with her when you have other things to worry about.

I think you’re both weird tbh

kaytee87 · 30/01/2018 22:34

Rice that's been out all night will make her ill. Totally bizarre of her.

Namechangetempissue · 30/01/2018 22:34

Bizarre! So she wanted day old food that had been picked over and sat out overnight in a bedroom? Is she strapped for cash? It was a really nice thing to do, and you should really have just been honest and either said sorry, I'm really not feeling well but thank you, or yes, I didn't finsh as I'm not well so will put it back in the fridge for you (odd request, but its her choice!).
Hope you feel better soon OP Flowers

Patodp · 30/01/2018 22:36

It's like, she knew you didn't eat it and felt that you'd lied, reality is you were being polite,, so she made up the "can I have your leftovers" thing to put you on the spot, then came in to retrieve the evidence.
Properly weird. No one should care that much

Yes I appreciate that but I’d said twice I had finished so I’m not just going to back down am I! I panicked and didn’t want to hurt her feelings! What was I meant to do, say about the hair too?! Just not in the mood

And she wanted to shame me. FFS

helenoftroyville · 30/01/2018 22:39

Very weird! How did she know you hadn't finished it? I'd check your room for hidden cameras

ThisLittleKitty · 30/01/2018 22:39

Yeh I'm guessing it was to see if you had lied even then still very very weird.

weetabix07 · 30/01/2018 22:42

This is why I hope I never have to flat share again. I CBA with all that after a day at work.
