To be in tears about what Billy Crystal said?

We were on a train and he was really rude about what I’d cooked. It was some sort of cheese casserole. It’s the first time I made it but I thought it tasted ok.

He also took the last seat at the table so I had to sit on my own. He ended up admitting the casserole tasted better than he’d initially thought but it was too late. I was so crushed that I woke up in tears.

I’m no stranger to night time disappointment; Many’s the time I’ve had to have words with DH first thing in the morning because he’s cheated.

But I thought better of Billy.

These celebs. Coming into your dream space and shitting all over your casserole. Typical.

KillMeMounjaro · 30/09/2025 08:21

The bastard! I've gone right off him now!
Cheese casserole is the best.

Underblankie · 30/09/2025 08:22

Dh is a complete bastard to me in my dreams, and takes no responsibility for it even though it’s obvious that my subconscious has to balance out how lovely he is to me during the day, so it is his fault.

I bet your cheese casserole was lovely Confused Shame on Billy

You don’t have sleep apnea op? Vivid dreams can be a sign

HurdyGurdy19 · 30/09/2025 08:23

I could never watch anything with him in it again. That was just spiteful, and I'd not be able to get past it. Ever.

Be gentle with yourself, OP. You've had quite the traumatic experience and will need time to heal.

Thoughts and prayers xx

PersistentRain · 30/09/2025 08:25

At least he didn’t throw you off the train….

It’s never their fault is it? 😡

I don’t think so, no. I’d fallen asleep on the sofa and didn’t actually go to bed til 4, so probably had a bit of a “bitty” sleep which I guess might explain it.

I’m not so upset any more. I’ve moved to being quite pissed off.

Time heals OP. I had a similar traumatic experience a few months ago and can't remember any of the details now. Hugs.

Pancakeflipper · 30/09/2025 08:31

I'm so disappointed in Billy. I thought him.a kind man. I'll give him evil stare when he appears on my TV screen again.
Maybe he was having a bad day?

Bluescissorsbluepen · 30/09/2025 08:31

I’m glad you posted this because I was beginning to think I was unreasonable. Dh asked me to stop talking about my dream cause it was making HIM feel bad. He left me for a beautiful woman, just ghosted me and my family agreed she was much nicer than I am and went camping as a group while she had to reglaze the house. He said he’d never do that, but he did do that last night.

MrsLeonFarrell · 30/09/2025 08:32

I think you are being very unfair to Billy. He may be lactose intolerant and was trying to politely turn down your casserole. Instead you forced him to eat it, which led to his hospitalisation and rumours in the press that he had a nose job. Shame on you OP.

😀

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 30/09/2025 08:35

Cheese casserole? Is that like a fondue?
I want one now!
(Always thought Billy looked a bit mean).

ElBandito · 30/09/2025 08:37

Saw To be in tears about what Billy C in trending and am just relieved Billy Connolly hasn't done anything awful.

How do you make a cheese casserole? or is it something that only exists in the Dream Realm?

That’s as maybe but I don’t think I’m quite managing to put across JUST how cutting he was. No need for it.

No casserole involved.

No idea. It looked a bit like Mac&Cheese but I think I’ve read about cheese casserole in novels.

Dont be so sure that you'll get over it! John Travolta was mean to me as a child. I don't remember the details but I've never forgiven him.

ExitPursuedByABare · 30/09/2025 08:52

Do you have the recipe please?

MyBirthdayMonth · 30/09/2025 08:54

I had a proposal last night from my first ever boyfriend. Several decades too late. I told him to jog on. Funny how he hadn't aged at all though.

I’ve just been googling. Apparently cheese casserole is indeed a thing. Have a search and take your pick. There’s one involving broccoli and mushroom soup that I definitely don’t fancy. Maybe it was that one.

Show quote history

Billy, who is sounding rather nasal but insists he hasn't had a nose job, wanted you to know that he didn't mean to sound cutting, he was distracted by the threat to his colon.

Dolamroth · 30/09/2025 08:58

Well now I've gone right off him. How dare he? I'd like to see him cook a decent cheese casserole on a train fgs. YADNBU

Nannyfannybanny · 30/09/2025 08:59

Well, I dreamt I was marrying DH (actually been married 26 years) in a country hotel (nope,it was the local, very pretty Register office) Did anyone see the film "Clockwork"? Everything was going wrong, journey, clothes,there was a stage play going on right next to where I was trying to get changed. People with SA don't normally reach REM or dream..as a veggie, like the sound of cheese casserole.
