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

No, I can honestly say I have never done something that would make me come home at 6pm and go straight to bed without seeing my husband and kids in case they smell burger from me! That's literally insane.

IT WAS NOT 6 pm!! what is wrong with you, stick up arse about such a lighthearted topic, I mean 😂

I know!

It’s interesting how I can see from a single lighthearted post who I would be friends with and the sort of people I wouldn’t vibe with at all in real life

So, to clarify -
if you live in a house where you all judge each other for what you eat to the extent that you have to eat food in secret, this means that you’re more fun than those who live in households where they live and let live?

SlinkyMal · 12/02/2026 20:20

I’m amazed by the number of people who appear to think anyone is objecting to OP eating a burger 😂

Apparently people do think eating unhealthy food in secret, hiding the evidence is a fun activity to do and makes you a fun person.

you live and learn,

But you usually eat and drink delicious things in front of other people at parties

AllWasWell · 12/02/2026 21:35

I must admit I’ve gone food shopping. But had actually already booked a click and collect order and just ate McDonald’s in my car and chilled 😂😬

Stealth burgering is fun. 🚀

I still don't get it.

No no, apparently it’s more fun to go and hide and eat it in secret. Then you’re the life and soul..

Apparently they're just so impishly fun and deliciously sneaky with their secret treats, and we just don't get the joke. I don't get it either.

Women have enough of a hard time being taken seriously without this stuff being trotted out.

Yeah I agree, I think if people owned it and said , I’ve a weight problem, I don’t want to be judged or whatever and it’s more a me problem, everyone would have been more sympathetic.

but to pretend you do it because it makes you a really fun Person is utterly bizzare.

Some of you really need to get laid like.

What, in secret, like you lot? To make it 'fun'?

What's tragic (but also very funny) is that such a harmless thread can attract such anger and indignation, and "moral comment", like the above.😂

Sheesh, some of these replies - it ain't that deep, bro 😁
Sometimes you want 5 minutes to yourself, with something just for you. Doesn't mean you're "letting down the sisterhood" or whatever nonsense as you're not being serious for once 🙄😂

arethereanyleftatall · 13/02/2026 13:33

I can’t imagine it’s made anyone cross, more baffled at the attempts to spin having to hide food in to some kind of positive. And then more baffling, the weird attempts to denigrate those who don’t have to hide food.

Jegggg · 13/02/2026 13:37

Bet the car smells of burger.

KarriTreeSullivan · 13/02/2026 13:44

I think this is one of the most bizarre and confusing threads I have read on here, and that's saying something! Completely over my head! I must be a humourless prude!

Although, thinking about it, I wish my husband would immaculately dispose of his MacDonald's waste as I can't stand the smell of them!

brunettemic · 13/02/2026 14:01

It’s like you’re having an affair with maccies 😂

There should be separate streams to MN threads, one for the smug, the miserable, and those with no sense of of humour, and another for the rest of us.
