AIBU? Nacho etiquette

Started going to a quiz night once a month with OH & his friend (first time Fri night). As part of it, the pub kindly brings out a bowl of nachos & dips for each table. There was a huge bowl of nachos & 2 very small dips, therefore each time I had a nacho I took just a tiny bit of dip as I didn't think there would be enough otherwise.

However I watched in horror as OH's friend not only got loads of dip on each of his nachos (and he made quite an effort to ensure each of his was well loaded), but bit it, then returned each one back to the bowl for extra dipping!!!!! So not only is that very greedy but double dipping too!!!

Don't quite know how I'm going to get through the next quiz night without saying something. Even my kids know you don't double dip!!!!!

Double dippers are all creepy perverse bastards.

PalmTree101 · 18/02/2019 14:29

Ok, mate - don’t double dip! No one wants your germs!

Justmuddlingalong · 18/02/2019 14:29

Bleugh! I knew there would be double dipping involved in a nacho AIBU. It is beyond vile.

Oh God. Yes I meant the first definition. No sexual activity took place, honestly Blush

Make a light hearted joke about no double dipping and maybe he will get the picture

Juells · 18/02/2019 14:50

Bring your own dip next time and keep it at your side of the table Grin Though he's such a slob he'll probably try dipping in that as well.

FuzzyShadowChatter · 18/02/2019 14:52

That was very generous of the pub. I would have ordered extra dip bowls I prefer having my own anyways, but double after that dude's behaviour. YANBU to see it as selfish and a bit gross.

MrsJayy · 18/02/2019 14:53

Greedy double dippers get on my wick selfish buggers only out for themselvesGrin next Friday take your own dip least it is cleaner

AryaStarkWolf · 18/02/2019 14:57

Next time grab one of the dips and jokingly say "going to keep this one over here away from OHs friend so the rest of us might get some!"

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 18/02/2019 15:03

DH overloads when having dips. He also doesn’t take one or two crisps/nuts/whatever at a time, grabs whole handfuls so he touches half the bowl and eats way more than is reasonable. I gave up being subtle and just tell him to leave some for everyone else. It gives me the rage!

He doesn’t double dip using either definition though.

I remember going to dinner with some friends to a restaurant that only served sharing type food. There were 4 of us and each "course" had 4 things on it, so starters were 2 x prawns and 2 x mussels for example. The bloke of the other couple kept taking 2 things (so 1 prawn and 1 mussel) so one of us had nothing for that course.. he seemed blissfully ignorant.. Still gives me the rage..

Maelstrop · 18/02/2019 15:09

Get him told! Greedy slob fuck! No way would I tolerate double dipping. Tell I'm you don't want to share his fucking spit. Oh God, I'm gonna puke

Why didn't you say anything???

Juells · 18/02/2019 15:17

Still gives me the rage..

I can understand that, perfectly! It's actually an insight into how someone lives their whole life, isn't it? "All for me" Hmm

Bluesheep8 · 18/02/2019 15:21

I went out to eat with other staff from the office I worked in at the time. A shared starter was hummus and toasted pitta bread. A colleague not only treble and quadruple dipped but then proceeded to stick his finger in the hummus, wipe it round, put it in his mouth and then wipe his finger round the hummus pot again repeatedly. Grim !

Exactly.

Although the sight of someone massively overloading a chip.and shovelling it into their wide open mouth is quite gross in itself. But when you are trying to share it's incredibly bad manners. Plus the double dipping - no way!

TortoiseLettuce · 18/02/2019 15:28

Double dipping is disgusting. Basically nobody else can have any because he’s put his germs into it. And I’d have made a point of telling him that.

Exactly! MN is littered with people not saying anything then "raging" about it for months or even years later.
For goodness sake, surely the first time he did it you say "There are four prawns here and four of us so that's one each". Problem solved, no need to "rage".

RoseOfSharyn · 18/02/2019 15:30

'Joey doesn't share foooood!'

Too embarrassed I suppose. I couldn't understand why the wife didn't say anything but she just let him carry on.. It was cringe worthy.. hey ho!
