Who is BU about the chip?

[Kartoffelschmerz]

Person A has been making lunch, including air fryer chips. They dish up, then realise they’ve given themself too many, so redistribute a bit and put the plates on the table.

Person B comes down for lunch. They turn their back for a second and when they turn round again they spot Person A removing a chip from their plate.

Person B is furious that A has been “sneaky” and stolen one of their rightful chips.

Person A argues that they’d overcorrected when dishing up and gave B a lot more, hence the chip removal.

Person B carries on seething for nearly 24 hours. They argue that they always give A the bigger portion, so why wouldn’t A do the same for them?

Person A says they do give B the bigger portion, that this was a minor rebalancing and until everyone’s actually sitting at the table, the food is still under the cook’s control.

Who is BU in this incredibly petty dispute?

So B comes into the room, identifies his plate which contains more chips than anyone else's, sees A taking a chip from it, kicks off and sulks all day?

I'm so glad I'm single.

Chips! D, E and F would have been subject to the "fork" if they'd dared to show their faces, but no! Actually, C didn't either, funnily enough! 🤔 They must have heard the "forkgate" rumours! Ha! 😁

B needs to get a grip but it seems a pretty humourless household. I think C should move out.

@Kartoffelschmerz both A and B should go back to nursery till an adult comes to collect them!

I think YOU are the unreasonable one for posting such shite.
Seriously

I hope person A used tongs.

Person A is unreasonable. They served up. They can’t then decide to even up the portions. Especially in front of B.

Why is B touching As food? I don't like my food being stroked but I'd get over it quickly

oh for goodness sake - the only thing worse than this petty squabble is the bullshit person A, B rubbish etc

How would you write it, @Ceàrdaman , if you wanted to try to give as neutral an account as possible?

@Watchthedoormat Are you unfamiliar with AIBU? It’s the home of petty grievances.

Chips at lunch? Woah...

You dont need to be neutral

"I was dishing up dinner and DH upset me"

"DH was dishing up dinner and I got upset"

"My DM was dishing up dinner and DF got upset"

Person A person B is just painful and annoying

I don't think there were enough chips to start with so A is unreasonable for not cooking more

A and B both need to grow up

I think it's just chips. Forget it and move on.

I would want to know why the cook isn’t making bigger portions if the allocation of food is leading to this kind of squabbling.

The only appropriate response would have been for B to stand and throw their plate in A's face.

Person b. Especially as they had lunch made for them

Person A made a fuckload of chips. There were seconds.

I cannot imagine scrapping with someone over an air fryer chip tbh, now a chippy chip would be a different story obviously.

That was embarrassing to read! I can’t believe these people are actual adults 😂 B was an unreasonable greedy twat. A didn’t really do much wrong apart from giving this ridiculousness headspace.

children argue over the amount of chips they get. There needs to be a lot of growing up from the person angry about chips being removed after 24hrs. I’d hate to know what their anger is like over something actually valid

Do people really argue over this??? Seriously

Both - its so petty that they are both being unreasonable

Both sound like they have a chip on their shoulder about this 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting theory. Would Jesus be A or B in this scenario?
