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

I find it really ruins the vibe of a thread when people have to over explain to people that just dont read the room or 'get it'.

I hear you sister 😆

No, not judgy. Just find it odd.

The feeling of being judged must be wired into the head of secret eaters. That is why they must eat secretly to begin with and then get a thrill from eating fast food thinking they are stealing a march on judgy people.

No, have no opinions on someone enjoying a meal, other than 'bon apetit'.

It really is...

You’ve misunderstood what people are saying.

I do this too with chocolate milkshakes and ice creams . Hide the evidence but was caught out with a wrapper left in car door. DH commented on it and I said it was from ages ago . Then I got a whole series of when and why didn't you get me one questions. Next time be more careful.

I sneak eat my McPlant in the car parked round the corner from my house. In my case it's because DDog will wake up and be all interested and take ages to settle. Car maccers is sooooo satisfying.

Hahaha....you are better at this than me! Forever on a diet I had a cheeky one on a journey to my Mum's .... thought I'd got away with it until my DH found the receipt down the side of the car seat - my face just fell...but I then compounded it and blamed the kids...until he pointed out they were both at Uni on the date....BUSTED - and he's never let me forget it! What a muppet! 😆

I have a packet of Chocolate Digestives stashed in my bedside table to have when I'm laid in bed watching TV. 😬

Made me want a maccies now! I totally get you though, my kids would abuse me if they knew I went to maccies without them (I sometimes do on a Weds lunchtime 😅).

Of course I haven't, but this is always what people say when you make fun of what they're saying because it's so daft.

I’d expect this from a man with a ‘very important job’ who is only staying late so he can buy dinner out . Then soon as he arrives home after spending ridiculous money on a fucking burger can’t even be bothered to spend two seconds with his wife and children. Leaving her to do all the dinner, homework, and bedtime routine. Oh and all the work of a dog too. He rushes upstairs saying he’s ‘tired’ and then lies in bed feeling satisfied bragging about it online.

Really underwhelming.

Aah this just reminded me of before I stopped eating meat, grabbing a Greggs on the way to "working breakfasts"; which was always fruit and granola.

Always always a sausage bap, red sauce and a large latte. Bliss.

Why would I need to be apologetic for doing something for myself?

If one of us had gone into town or somewhere near a fast food outlet we wouldn’t mind of the other one got themselves some food. If I knew my husband was out and I fancied a burger I’d message him but if not I’d just crack on and make my own food. If he came home and told me he had a burger whilst out I wouldn’t care.

I’d think it was strange if he hid it from me. It is just food.

Where the hell did that come from

I’ve done that with a sharing bag of peanut M&m’s - literally crack

Sorry, but I'm baffled.
You're paranoid because you live in a vegetarian household? You're frightened because your husband beats you if you choose food for yourself? You're so browbeaten that you feel you have to essentially lie to your family?
I have no idea what the context is here.
And if for some insane reason you're worried about the smell, why didn't you take a shower?

"Odd"!

Had odds (haha) of 3/2 of this one coming in yet again, it's a definite MN favourite to find it odd. Are we going to get another "bemused"? Likely. We haven't actually had "baffled" or "baffling" yet despite it being very popular, so there could be a great payout on that one if it appears, do people want to lay their bets?

The one thing you can always be sure of, odds at absolute certainty, is that whatever it is that's odd and bemusing and baffling is always something extremely mundane and very, very simple and uncomplicated.

BAFFLED!!!

Who had their money on it??

I always get a sneaky MC chicken sandwich whenever I have to visit the tip

You seem to be finding yourself hilarious, @ThatCyanCat
Glad you’re entertaining yourself.

I keep a stash of plastic gloves (the ones you get free at petrol stations) in my driver's side door pocket. They are perfect for eating fast food without getting smelly hands.

You can wake up now and stop having strange fantasies.

The mundanity of exactly why it is baffling and bemusing. There's nothing significant or exciting or worthy of subterfuge in the perfectly normal act of going to McDonald's. It is indeed utterly uncomplicated. Which makes the desire to hide it so odd.
