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

[knowledgeablyclueless]

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!

It clearly says in the penultimate paragraph of the first post

"she ate about half of what was left, then proceeded to offer it to her DP, and when he said no, our friend."

so I don't know why so many posters are saying that she offered it to the OP's DH. She didn't. Only to her own partner and then their friend.

Gross. Pig as at a trough.

It’s really odd of her to do that. You offered the burger to your husband, not her. Why would your DH want to eat a burger that has her and her husband’s greasy lips on it?!

We would do this with my sisters and nieces in my family but we love each other and don’t mind each other's leftovers.

Dear God why can't people read!

You made it perfectly obvious who she offered it to in your post OP -i.e everyone else on the table APART from your DH

I agree its weird. Most people would be happy to finish off something that their own spouse had partially eaten, but wouldn't be up for being the last mouth on a burger that had potentially been nibbled by four other people beforehand! (If there was even anything left had all the others tried a bit!)

I despair of the lack of reading comprehension on here sometimes

Yes it is a bit odd, but also odder still not to respond with: “Well DP has already said he will have it - do you two want to share?” And then take it from there.

Unless she plucked it from the plate without waiting for an answer - did she? Sounds like she might have done, in which case fairly cheeky, unless she misheard your DP.

Either way, one to sort out at the table rather than brood over later I think.

I don't think I've ever not been able to manage a whole (veggie) burger...
<misses point of thread>

Why didn't you say something?. How's everyone eating the same burger. I'm no clean freak but I wouldn't want a burger several people have held with their hands and bitten into. Unless they were eating it with a knife and fork?

I find it weird how much of this burger was actually available!

A Macdonald's burger I could probably finish in 5-6 bites, and a larger one maybe 10-15.

Say you had half, then friend had a quarter... is it really worth handing over a 'guy mouthful' to her DP?

I might suggest just a side next time if you don't want to waste food or make others feel like you need help.

Yabu OP.

When you offered your spaghetti to your daughter and she said no thanks, it would only have gone to waste if your father hadn't said he'd have it.

It was kind of your father to then offer the rest of it to the stranger dressed in the clown suit sitting at the next table and I'm not sure why you're even mentioning the horse you had tied up at the bar, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything.

😂😂

I think I'd have probably offered it to the table if there was lots left although I can't imagine how big this burger was. Were they special burgers? Unusual,fillings etc? I couldn't be bothered to waste energy over the sharing of leftovers.

You clearly have never had a GBK burger. Those babies are an entire food group in their own right.

I mean , on the face of it yes it's rude, but if she is basically a nice person the simplest explanation is she didn't hear, or didn't process, your husband's reply.

Nope.

I am happy to share food with partner but not burgers a few other people have also had a bite of.

A few chips is different.

Quite grim!

For me it would be first come first served, presuming she'd finished hers and was still peckish. If she still had plenty left it seems a bit rude. But I really wouldn't be bothered. She clearly feels comfortable with you enough to do this. I personally wouldn't share a burger without cutting it in half, but if someone wanted my leftovers I wouldn't care who ate them.

This one made me laugh 😂

It’s a little bit rude of your friend but I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it!

😂😂

Oh wait, is this actually a competitive undereating thread? ‘I had so much burger left my DP wanted it but my friend took it, ate some and offered the rest around the whole restaurant’

This! Presumably your Dh had already ordered the food he wanted, so wouldn’t have starved?

It would have been a natural assumption that it was up for grabs, but if not, you or your DH could have said no.

I wouldn’t personally want to eat food that someone other than a partner or my child had been biting from already, but that’s just me.

I'm going with this. Can't believe she heard your DH properly

I need a photo of the burger.

Yes as your husband had said yes, even more so for her to offer the remainder to her own husband!
But you should have either cut her a piece off it or said no (I mean how big was this burger to be offered around three people to have some)?

Yes it was rude and a bit gross. Personally I wouldn't want to indulge in someone else's half eaten burger.
