To have ran upstairs in case I smelt of burger

[Whydoesitalwaysrainonmeeeee]

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

You are unreasonable to have written "to have ran upstairs".
I am open to suggestions as to why I think this is unreasonable.

Good point - similarly MN should created a WIBU section for threads about things which happened in the past 🤣🤣

🤣 no they wouldn’t.

you sound like a barrel of laughs 🙄

great work OP.

Is it your family would have wanted some, or are you concerned about your weight, so didn’t want them to see.

im curious why you had to hide the evidence, even checking the car, so it doesn’t seem like the former.

It seems to Be, some people are congratulating the op, like it’s something achieved.

Well done OP! A sneaky treat always seems to taste better 🤣🤣🤣

What suggestion is needed other than the fact that it is gramatically incorrect?

I don't get the secrecy about it either. If I decided to have McDonalds for dinner ony own I would just make sure DH knew so he didn't cook something else. From other responses though it seems to be a thing. Weird.

Yes. “Great work, op”.
What on earth is that about?

Because it is lovely, doing something on your own sometimes and not having to share it. It lands differently.

The easier to achieve equivalent of a secret day off. I used to love taking a day off work in secret and just going out somewhere whilst everybody thinks you are working. Feels amazing somehow.

I like a secret Chinese myself, I have posted this before. I keep cutlery in the car for the very purpose.

I don’t need to do it now I’m divorced which is a bit disappointing!

You've just reminded me that when I went shopping at the weekend I got 2 mini Easter eggs...one was eaten in the car park, the other hidden in the boot. But not for long.

Are you my husband? 🤣
DH frequently steals away for a sneaky burger/fried chicken/kebab. I caught him once as I was coming home, I waved from the car and the look on his face 🤣 he actually tried to hide the bag behind his back!

While it’s not strictly illegal, eating and driving in the dark and rain would probably constitute not driving with due care and attention.

I couldn’t give a fuck if you think I’m not a barrel of laughs for thinking that in those conditions and for the reason that they wanted to rush home makes what they did at best questionable.

I also couldn’t give a shit if they made this up to rile people or get mumsnetters to get into a froth and provide entertainment for people to laugh at people who disagree with them.

I will just continue driving safely and eating my burgers in the carpark or at home and not while in charge of a machine that could kill or maim someone. I’m just such a bore.

😮 You can’t eat whilst driving?!

Grow up. It would be a right laugh if she couldn’t react quickly enough to avoid a child in the dark and the rain because she was holding and eating a burger when driving.

They truly do 🙏

Yeah, you don’t get it. The whole point is not to tell someone. It doesn’t have to be food related and has nothing to do with not being able to tell them. But that’s an entirely different experience.

It works best with junk food obviously- it’s like when I have told DD she can’t have selection box for breakfast and then hiding in the bathroom to inhale a Wispa and hiding the evidence. Or telling everyone smugly that you don’t touch UPF and then having a secret stash.

I think she's unreasonable to have ran upstairs because someone who eats secret burgers should only be fit enough to have been sat on the sofa all night.

🤣

Stolen sweets are always sweeter,
Stolen kisses much completer,
Stolen looks are nice in chapels,
Stolen, stolen be your burgers apples.

YABU. It's 'to have run upstairs' not 'to have ran upstairs'.
I ran. Past tense
I have run. Perfect tense
I have ran. Just wrong

I was just going to ask why, but now understand from replies that it is a sacred ritual to be carried out in secret 🤣

I'd want some fries with mine but to each their own.

What on earth?
Isn’t there a less disturbing way you can think of to get some excitement in your life?
Those of us who “don’t get it” seem to manage this.

You've declined to mention what drink you got with your meal. This is the deciding factor for me.

I bought my kids brownies from the Lidl bakery today and ate them in the car home. I’ll pick them up more over the weekend but I have to say I enjoyed them so much knowing I was effectively stealing from my children.
Won’t sleep in until a reasonable time on a Saturday morning?
Well the fuck you getting brownies for a treat on a Tuesday afternoon.

Of course, but then who would you use to feel superior and incredibly interesting and exciting?

It's a vital service to society for that reason.
