Would this give you the ick?

I've een seeing a guy for a few weeks. This morning we met for breakfast at a local cafe.
He ordered toast with butter. Instead of just picking it up and eating it normally he pulled bits off, rolled them into ballS, appeared to suck the butter off then eat them. Meaning it took about 25 mins for him to actually finish the piece of toast. His hands and mouth were covered in a buttery greasy mess, not to mention the excessive crumbs all over the table 🤢 it was like dining with a messy toddler. I had to tell him to wash his hands afterwards as they were so covered in butter. Was making me feel quite ill.
Other than this he's a nice guy, we've eaten together before and no issues. But this is the first time he's had toast whilst with me.
Would this put you off?

This can’t be real 😂

sonofrageandlove · 23/10/2024 17:23

Instant ick

BeMintBee · 23/10/2024 17:24

That’s grim. Imagine staring at that every morning at the breakfast table!

EBearhug · 23/10/2024 17:25

It would give me the ick, but it doesn't matter what any of us think. It gave you the ick, and that's what's important here.

TwistedWonder · 23/10/2024 17:29

Absolutely yes. I’m not sure I would have stayed the whole meal without making an excuse to run

LoafofSellotape · 23/10/2024 17:30

Omg how did you not instantly ask wtf he was doing??!! 🤢

Guavafish1 · 23/10/2024 17:36

Bye

Jessie1259 · 23/10/2024 17:36

Weird, I'd just ask him why he's eating like that and to eat it properly as he's making a huge mess. How he reacted to that would tell me more I think, then I'd decide if I was put off.

LTB - Leave the Toast Bastard!

TheFunnyPinkWriter · 23/10/2024 17:37

It's giving me the ick and I don't even know him!

betterangels · 23/10/2024 17:38

I know small children with better table manners. I think I would have left. That's too weird. Total ick. Imagine kissing him after that.

Lwrenn · 23/10/2024 17:54

Ick isn't the worry, it's the fact he's clearly a fucking psychopath who will wear your skin to dance around his mother's basement listening to Kajagoogoo if you do not end things immediately with this utter lunatic.
Run, ideally in a zig zag.

I wouldn't have been able to help asking 'whats the deal with the toast balls, Steve?'.

My DP whom I adore rolls his pizza into what he calls 'involtini', and insists it creates the perfect ratio of base to middle and an extra thickness of cheese. There could be method to the madness. He didn't start doing it until he had his feet well under the table, mind you.

Buddhalover · 23/10/2024 18:03

Pml at Lwrenn's response! Lol 😆 But totally agree, run and run fast!!

FictionalCharacter · 23/10/2024 18:45

He is either attention seeking like a small child or has serious food issues, and both are ickworthy.

SnoopysHoose · 23/10/2024 18:46

I don't think I've been seen a toddler do this, I dread to think how he eats spaghetti bolognese!!

ProjectsGalore · 23/10/2024 18:47

Bloody Nora, I've got the remote ick just imagining it!

PunkrockerGirl59 · 23/10/2024 18:48

100% LTB 😃
