AIBU for leaving my DP's dad's BBQ?

[startinganewforonce]

Just a quick one because I do feel like an AH, but was IBU to leave my DP's dad's BBQ because he picked up burgers to put on the BBQ, didn't wash his hands and was touching everything?! I have contamination OCD and raw meat is my biggest fear. I was getting angry and upset and had to go, DP was mad as we had our two year old with us but I have heard about what e.coli can do young kids and it's a fear of mine..

😱

E Coli is most common from undercooked burgers.

Ocd isn't anxiety. And a lot of disability will impact family. It's ridiculous to say life for the family should be unaffected.

I'm not risking her getting sick!

She will get sick. Repeatedly. Over and over. She's a child.

And minced beef won't be the issue. Yes, we wash our hands after handling raw meat. But really, beef isn't going to give anyone anything. Steak Tartare?

OCD is a right bastard.

What is your problem. Just because you said something stupid and I called you out on it. Now your coming at me.

Sorry I think you were being ridiculous and you were completely out of order to leave.

Don’t ever order steak tartare in France 😱😱

Steak tartare shouldn't be made of bog standard burger mince

Shes not a prisoner why shouldn't she leave??

Completely different to minced beef or burgers as these have been processed and more exposed to harmful bacteria.

Leaving was OTT.

Not eating and controlling what the kids ate (if there really was real concern, rather than just your fears) is reasonable.

Kids can manage on sides and pudding.

There was really no need to walk out.

Yea Gods 🙄 isn't there some sort of basic knowledge school people can be sent to?

it was definitely raw minced beef when I was in Paris.. a bit of a shock 😳

I used to hang out with a guy years ago, and came to realise he didn’t wash his hands after using the toilet - I declined eating anything he’d made after that.

It should have been freshly minced beef though not processed factory mince like you get from lidl

It would have been fresher, and minced with more sterile equipment.

Hmm I'm sure it's hard but I'm afraid this is a you problem, and yes, yabvvu

Absolutely gross.
I would have asked DP to have a word with him he could have poisoned the guests.
I am now afraid of bbqs too op. Yucks.

Minced may contain more ecoli inside if it is not fully cooked. Yes, you were being unreasonable because you said nothing about him touching the outside of cooked meat.

This thread is horrifying! It's like a load of medieval people have time travelled to 2024.

I wouldn't want to go to your bbqs!

Why didn’t you or DP politely ask him to wash his hands?

Yabu. The burgers were getting cooked.

Have you not heard of cross contamination, then? It doesn’t matter a jot that the meat was being cooked if the host did not wash his hands in between putting raw meat on the BBQ and taking the cooked meat off! This thread is a shocker.
