Nuggy nugs

Before I get a flaming for eating maccys: I'm a fit, 30 YO woman who does serious cardio 4x a week, with strength training. I'm a healthy size 10-12. I limit sugar, I eat salads etc etc. You get the picture.

I've been out tonight for a wine or two, so I treated myself to some maccys nugs on the way home. I LOVE maccys nugs. I once had a nugs salad because I couldn't finish a share box so had them with salad the next day.

Someone has just told me to stop eating them on the tube as it's disrespectful. I can't work out if I have offended the skinny, the fat, the under privileged or the overprivileged.

I had BBQ sauce. It's not all over my face. I work really hard, I deserve these nugs.

YABU Macdonalds food stinks

Sparklesocks · 19/09/2019 22:43

You don’t have to justify what you eat with caveats about exercise and healthy eating, you’re a grown woman. Eat what you like.

Butttons · 19/09/2019 22:44

Tastes good I should add. But stinks

AtrociousCircumstance · 19/09/2019 22:45

It’s disrespectful because you don’t care that the stink of the food is annoying the other passengers.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 19/09/2019 22:46

Wtf is a nug?!

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 19/09/2019 22:46

It’s because you didn’t share Wink

Igetknockeddownbutgetupagain · 19/09/2019 22:47

On a packed tube or train, it is annoying when people eat strong smelling food, especially when you can’t escape it. But it’s pretty late - couldn’t they just move away?

aibutohavethisusername · 19/09/2019 22:48

The smell Envy - not envy.

pinkelephantsanddietcoke · 19/09/2019 22:49

How strong to chicken nuggets smell? Hmm
YANBU.

Mablethorpe · 19/09/2019 22:50

Nuggets do not smell. YANBU.

SpoonBlender · 19/09/2019 22:50

Deep fried stuff will stink the place up. You're being one of those people by eating Maccies nuggets on public transport. It's the same class of thing as people watching video with their phone speakers - public nuisance.

ArtisanPopcorn · 19/09/2019 22:51

Eat them but please don't call them nuggy nugs.

LemonAddict · 19/09/2019 22:52

YABU for calling them nuggy nugs.

eating them on the tube is disrespectful to the other passengers who have to a. Sit in a confined space with the stink of your nuggy nugs and b. Watch you chomping your way through a McDonald’s on the tube journey.

Rejelio · 19/09/2019 22:52

YABU for calling them nugs

Angharad07 · 19/09/2019 22:53

They stink good though- people were jealous

JassyRadlett · 19/09/2019 22:53

Eating hot food on public transport is grim. Particularly anything fried. You can definitely smell it and it’s antisocial.

You are also being unreasonable for saying ‘nugs’ as I assume you are over 5.

EdWinchester · 19/09/2019 22:53

Nuggy nugs? Are you 2?

LaBelleSauvage · 19/09/2019 22:55

I hated it when people ate fast food on the tube. The smell is always grim in a closed space.

Of course there is a smell.

Also cringing at nuggy nugs.

Spinnaret · 19/09/2019 22:59

I've been out tonight for a wine or two

Would never have guessed. 🤣
Nuggy nugs. 🤣

dudsville · 19/09/2019 23:01

I'm loving the term. I had no idea what this thread was about and assumed it was going to be asking the line if the num nums were give our dogs!

FrangipaniBlue · 19/09/2019 23:02

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU for calling them fucking nuggy nugs no matter how much wine you've drank.

Clearly a nethuns infiltrator.

Singlebutmarried · 19/09/2019 23:03

Normal nuggy nugs or the spicy nuggy nugs?

I’ve a soft spot for a cheeseburger

(If KFC isn’t available)

MitziK · 19/09/2019 23:03

Doesn't matter if you're 8 stone or 28 stone - eating the things on public transport is horrible for everybody around you, as they can be smelled the other end of a bus, train, tram or tube, even before you get to whether the other passengers can hear - or worse, see - the things as you chow down on them.

In any case, MccyDs taste exactly the same if you take them home and microwave them.

DrVonPatak · 19/09/2019 23:04

Not sure if I find your choice of food or the premise of consumption more indigestible (to me the tube always smells slightly of railway toilets), but if you find it appetising, I'm sure you are well within your rights to proceed.

And please stop using baby talk.

GrandmaSharksDentures · 19/09/2019 23:05

Very rude to eat smelly fast food on public transport
