To think my friend shouldn't have eaten my burger?

Out for dinner a couple of nights ago.

Me and DP, friend and her BF, and another friend.

All paying for our own food.

I ordered a burger but didn't finish it all, so offered it to DP. He said Yes please, but let me finish mine first.

Immediately after that, friend said 'Oh could I try a bite first?' - she ate about half of what was left, then proceeded to offer it to her DP, and when he said no, our friend.

AIBU to think this was fucking weird? Me and DP were both a bit like, Erm, wtf to say something at the time!

I don't think it's weird.

35965a · 17/04/2024 11:30

She asked, you could have said no

trippily · 17/04/2024 11:31

Why was it weird? You didn't want it!

MILTOBE · 17/04/2024 11:31

But why didn't your husband say, "Oy, that's mine!"?

deleteitforproduction · 17/04/2024 11:32

I'd find that annoying! It is a bit awkward to have to say no if asked in that situation.

trippily · 17/04/2024 11:32

Sometimes I feel like people on mumsnet do not really like their friends? It must be lonely.

Floralnomad · 17/04/2024 11:32

When she said ‘can I have a bite’ you should have said no , at the end of the day the burger was going spare what does it matter who ate it .

SilverSimca · 17/04/2024 11:32

It doesn't seem that weird to me. You said you didn't want it.

FranticHare · 17/04/2024 11:33

You didn't want it, she ate a couple of bites, offered back to your OH who said no. Why shouldn't she finish it? Better than binning it surely, and her finding something else to eat (assuming she was hungry)?

I mean it would be nicer if she had cut off a piece to try - but that doesn't seem what you were worried about?

MonsteraMama · 17/04/2024 11:33

Why didn't you say no when she asked? She's your friend, it shouldn't be that difficult to say "nope sorry, DP already has dibs! Get in faster next time" and move on.

knowledgeablyclueless · 17/04/2024 11:34

No, she offered it to HER OH, who said no, and then when her OH said no, she offered it to our friend. Before she asked to try a bite, MY DP had already said Yes please.

It is a bit weird. If no one else wanted it then that would be fine but your husband had already said he was going to have it.

iamwhatiam23 · 17/04/2024 11:34

Its weird, rude and greedy, especially her offering it to her dp and df!! I would have been annoyed!

billyt · 17/04/2024 11:35

Yep, weird. Wasn't hers to eat or offer cheeky bitch.

That's not what happened - it was her OH she offered it to.

But you didn’t want it? She presumably thought it was up for grabs, ate a bit and then offered it to your dp? If it was a problem why didn’t you say no? I couldn’t fall out with a friend for having a couple bites of your leftovers ffs

She offered it to her DP, not mine.

Because she'd already offered it to her DP and he had said yes duh

statetrooperstacey · 17/04/2024 11:38

It r sounds like she didn’t fully hear or comprehend the arrangement between you and your DH tbh rather than anything else , also how big was this burger?!!!

Beatrixslobber · 17/04/2024 11:39

Why don’t people talk to their friends? I would have laughed and said sorry Dh wants it, ask him or something.

Why would it be binned? OP offered it to her DP who said yes. It wasn't being binned. Fuck people are weird on MN. It wasn't going spare anymore. It was now OPs DPs

It wasn't "going spare" 🤔

YeahComeOnThen · 17/04/2024 11:41

I wouldn't mind her trying it, but as your DP had said yes to having it, it was rude of her then to offer it to her DP & the other friend.

was your DP still hungry, could he not afford to order any more food? Unless that was the case I wouldn't be too bothered, but it was rude, yes.

Therealjudgejudy · 17/04/2024 11:41

Your friend is weird...

memyselfi · 17/04/2024 11:42

Weird and actually gross . Who wants a burger that someone else's mouth has touched ?
It was your DP's , he said yes . Her asking for it , basically slabbering over it and trying to give to to someone else , pure boke !
Not surprised your DP passed on it .
