To have ran upstairs in case I smelt of burger

Just now

Treated myself to a Big tasty meal on the way home from work. Happily driving along in the dark and rain, listening to 90’s tunes 🤣
Dropped the bag evidence in the big bin round the corner from my house, getting soaked in the process, but all worth it.
Had to do the quick check of the car and car seat for any random bits-there was shredded lettuce-got rid.
Came in the house, coat off and Ddog smelling my hands, so I ran upstairs saying to Dh and Dd that I was tired 😂

In bed feeling satisfied, but wondering if I smell of burger

Love it 🤣

I do this sometimes if I go shopping! Get a cheeky maccies and eat it in the car, I always park up though - I don't like driving & eating! It always feels like a naughty forbidden treat 😂 I've never thought about smelling of burger though, will keep some hand wipes and breath mints in the glove box from now on!

Prepare yourself OP … eating disorders .. lack of willpower … rude to family …🤣🤣

Yes! the forbidden feeling 😆

I didn’t really have time to park up as wanted to get back and was starving so just wolfed it down

Great work OP. Text book.

These are the moments that make life worth living.

KilkennyCats · 10/02/2026 20:20

What would your family have done if they got rush reports that you’d eaten a burger?

ImPamDoove · 10/02/2026 20:20

Why did you have to hide the evidence? I don’t get it.

Notfeelinit · 10/02/2026 20:20

Is a Big Tasty better than a Big Mac? Is it like a 1/4 pounder with cheese sort of thing?
Had a lovely maccies a few nights ago, chicken McNuggets are my downfall and always have been..

FurForksSake · 10/02/2026 20:21

So you drove and ate it in the dark and rain?

The burger is fine; but please dont eat and drive if that’s what you did. It’s really dangerous and you’d get points for it if the police saw you.

ZenNudist · 10/02/2026 20:22

I'm really confused why getting a burger is a secret?

Merryoldgoat · 10/02/2026 20:22

Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Really amateurish @Whydoesitalwaysrainonmeeeee

You need a good strong throat sweet and a nice handcream. Hides all traces. 🫡

Dollymylove · 10/02/2026 20:23

Don't deny it. You must face the consequences of your evil deed 😅😅

Because everyone else would moan they didn't get one probably

You forgot… controlling husband forcing OP to binge eat in secret…

It’s bizarre. Op sounds like she’s escaped from captivity.

Yogabearmous · 10/02/2026 20:25

Ummm….it was almost too easy…

Flailingaroundatlife · 10/02/2026 20:26

Love it!! I ALWAYS get 2 snickers on the rare chance I 'get' to do the food shop on my own. And yes, I hide all evidence... pathetic that I class it as 'me time' 😂

Terip · 10/02/2026 20:28

Why are people asking why hide the evidence? Because there’s nothing better than a covert burger or other guilty pleasure.

I sometimes have pork scratchings. A whole bag to myself. Stinky, salty, delicious. I eat them alone and then bury the bag deep in the bin, never to be found.

Then I resume my life as a respectable middle class person.

likelysuspect · 10/02/2026 20:29

Lol!

Dollymylove · 10/02/2026 20:30

I sometimes eat a cheese and onion pie or a sausage roll on my way home and say nothing 😁😁😁

EmeraldRoulette · 10/02/2026 20:31

I don't get why the burger has to be a secret

Are you planning to eat dinner now? 😂

BertieBotts · 10/02/2026 20:32

This is what I do when I have a stolen fag on a night out Grin I rush upstairs and put all my clothes into the wash before anyone can smell smoke on me, like a bloody teenager.

I don't know why I do it because DH wouldn't say anything and the DC probably don't even know what cigarette smoke smells like, but for some reason it is important that I keep the secret.

Ooh I love an illicit fag 😉😉

FancyBiscuitsLevel · 10/02/2026 20:34

But why would you hide what you’ve eaten? I really don’t understand either.

Is this secret eating thing something lots of people do? Why?
