My husband just made me a fried egg sandwich. Without asking he smothered the egg in mayonnaise. AIBU to say this is sodding gross.. Hot egg and mayo!

Yeah wouldn’t be for me so either.

needs to be bread smothered in real butter with the fried egg really hot and runny and BBQ sauce to dunk it in 😋

One of the worst food crimes I’ve read on here. What was he thinking!

DenholmElliot11 · 21/04/2025 12:32

Did he do it deliberately to be spiteful?

shellyleppard · 21/04/2025 12:32

🤢🤢🤢 fried egg sandwich has to be with white bread and brown sauce.... anything else is sheer travesty!! 🤣

FullOfLemons · 21/04/2025 12:34

So what does it taste like ?

Soundsfamiliardoesntit · 21/04/2025 12:35

I've never heard of mayonnaise in a fried egg sandwich.

Sounds disgusting to me.

I don't understand why anyone would do something like that without asking the person they are making the sandwich for first to see if they want it.

Sounds like actual vindictiveness rather than thoughtlessness. Of wanting to make the sandwich uneatable.

I rarely say this on mn. But LTB.

I like a lightly boiled egg, chopped, mixed with mayonnaise in a sandwich.

I got him to make me a new one, I can’t believe it’s taken me 9 years to discover how grim he is. He is trying to explain it away with.. you eat hot chicken burgers with mayo, What’s the difference! It is obviously entirely different.

Was it a triple decker fried egg and chutney sandwich?

ErrolTheDragon · 21/04/2025 12:37

Maybe he mistakenly thought it’d be a bit like eggs Benedict?Confused

Dirty fu**er

You know the expression ‘who pissed in your cornflakes’ when someone is in a bad mood…I think we should replace it with ‘who put mayo in your friend egg sandwich’

WaffleParty · 21/04/2025 12:39

He’s a monster.

is this the only red flag is your relationship?
Don't say he puts ketchup on beans.

Like 99% of people out there…🤷‍♀️

Personally I believe mayo to be the Devils Spawn so its mere existence in your house is VVVU.

AdaColeman · 21/04/2025 12:44

He sounds like a man after my own heart, he can make me fried egg sandwiches anytime! 🍳 🍳 🍳 🍳

You'll be telling me next that you don't have mayonnaise on chips!

Completely agree with him. Also chips and mayo. Can’t see the problem! Sorry!

Entirely different thing. ‘Eggs mayonnaise’ is a classic dish. Cold boiled eggs, not hot fried ones.

Boiled egg n mayo for egg mayo.. but fried egg??? 🤢

Egg mayo sandwich, just that the egg is fried, wouldn’t bother me especially if the bread was toasted, on in toasted bread I probably wouldn’t be so keen

Gross 🤢

EmotionallyConstipated · 21/04/2025 15:02

AcquadiP · 21/04/2025 15:04

Have you considered divorce 🤔

That is horrific who puts mayo on fried egg.
