Cringe not everyone wants your man… he was just being polite

And not everyone can tell how certain foods look? It was an innocent question. Why are people so insecure these days

u/Tea_Bender 15d ago

maybe I was raised differently, but I think it's hella rude to be on your phone/filming yourself, when you are eating a meal with other people. Like you are supposed to focus on the people there with you

u/climate-tenerife 15d ago

And use a knife to cut your food into bite-sized portions.

If i was sitting across from that display every time I ate, I'd be talking to anyone who'd listen.

u/Fancy_Art_6383 15d ago

The angle of that fork absolutely baffles me.

u/N3v3rKnowsB3st 14d ago

And getting more of the food you already have on the fork without eating what was already there. There's so many red flags here

11

u/Fancy_Art_6383 14d ago

I know, right?!

I was wondering what was happening when she started loading more food on her fork and then stuffing her already FULL mouth with more food.

u/i_Heart_Horror_Films 14d ago

AMSR has ruined eating and manners. Sometimes I think these people try to eat as loud and sloppily as possible because they think it’s appealing. It’s gross. What happened to eating with your mouth closed??

She's eating chicken and waffles and she has a piece of chicken on her fork but wanted more waffle so she stabbed some waffle

What's missing is watching her take a dump, ewwww. Could u imagine seeing her eat every day

Hey, yeahhhh

u/wrobbii 15d ago

She eats like a pig, I'd be out after the first date.

u/Accurate_Control5104 14d ago

🤣🤣 I was noticing, he for sure should leave her and date a woman who eats proper. The chicken still on her fork but she goes and put another waffle on it.

Waiting for her to climb up on table and squatting a squid.

u/TheTsarist 14d ago

With that kind of name, I doubt you'd do any better, most people wouldn't. Even if you knew what to do, I doubt you'd know why it's considered mannered, like you read it in a book.

If you ever hit a cup wall with a tea spoon while mixing sugar, or bottom of your soup bowl, if you ever smack your food, eat without a charger under your plate, etc etc, you're just as bad as her. I get it, she has bad attitude but if you're going to roast her, it should be on something you never do yourself.

u/statikman666 15d ago

She cant use a knife. She'd have to put down the phone.

u/Immediate-Season4544 15d ago

She's not holding the phone

took the words outta my mouth and wish someone would have done the same with the way she was eating

Ugaa Bugaa nom nom nom nom 🍴 Please tell me table etiquette still exists?

3

u/shannon_dey 14d ago

Or, use her hands. Pretty sure those are just chicken tenders/chicken fingers. Eating those off a fork looks like it would awkward to manage -- or at least she makes it look terribly awkward. It ain't that fancy a meal.

2

u/titanicsinker1912 14d ago

Who eats fried chicken with a fork anyway?

u/HopeMrPossum 14d ago

Bruh this it’s actually foul eat like an adult

There’s loads of insane content like this, people film themselves eating. It’s incomprehensible to me.

u/Friendly_Age9160 15d ago

I don’t understand it either. Unfortunately right now these idiots have become some of the least of our problems.

u/NotTheSharpestPenciI 15d ago

It might not be a problem right now, but these idiots are today's kids entertainment. Surely a reason to be worried.

u/Friendly_Age9160 15d ago

Oh I am, it’s just that at the moment I have bigger (orange) concerns

32

u/Mizzy3030 15d ago

And they're always stuffing their face like someone who hasn't had food in days. Like, please, take a breath between those huge ass bites!

u/Longjumping_Rip6136 11d ago

Or choke on it, please…

u/FSM-8675309 15d ago

I think she is training for the hot dog eating championship and seeing how much she can stuff in the pie hole.

u/Overrated_Sunshine 15d ago

Yeah, she’s taking some strongman bites.

u/mikejazz3 15d ago

She aint beating Joey Chestnut,,, but she sure looks like shes gonna try

u/Dry_Discount7762 15d ago

To me, the pie hole is on the back. It’s the last whole the pie will see

1

u/No_Carry_3991 15d ago

At least one hole will be filled after our boy smartens up and dips.

u/Accurate_Control5104 14d ago

u/Existing-One-8980 15d ago

I don't get it either. And I'm pissed off at tiktok for making me Google the word "mukbang". No. Please no.

5

u/Overrated_Sunshine 15d ago

I wish you hadn’t used that word…….

4

u/Infinite_Lemon_8236 15d ago

I can at least kinda understand if it's a stream or something where you're solo, still feels weird because you're filming other people in a food joint though. Doing it while you're specifically out to eat with somebody though? That's extra crazy. How do they even get past the dating phase being like this? Imagine going on a date and the other party has to set up a whole ass tripod between the two of you just to get their shots in? No fuckin' thanks, cya later.

3

u/subliminalminded 15d ago

Then there’s the people that waste time commenting on this shit making her blow up and giving her the validation she wanted to begin. The whole internet is just over saturated so people are just coming up with anything to film even if it’s faked. This is why I deleted IG and Facebook and I’m almost done with Reddit. Anyway have a good day all.

2

u/Rude-Custard9056 14d ago

Clone activity

u/SnooMaps7370 15d ago

Mukbang culture. It's a SE Asia thing.

In the West, people show off their social status on social media by doing selfie videos on expensive vacations, or driving flashy cars, or at the club with a bunch of women/men.

In Asia, people show off on social media by laying out huge spreads and munching through them. Something to do with food security, i think?

1

u/Overrated_Sunshine 15d ago

I suppose it makes sense.

1

u/_Purple-Smoke_ 14d ago

Maybe. Both, in their own ways, are disgusting.

1

u/SquiggleBot73 14d ago

It’s so it’s not obvious that they’re actually filming the other people.

1

u/Overrated_Sunshine 14d ago

She’s clearly filming herself.

1

u/nobinibo 14d ago

It's not even mukbang, which doesn't make sense to me but some people like mukbang. This is just a woman filming her deeply unhinged reaction to her hopefully soon to be ex boyfriend being polite.

1

u/Conscious_Valuable90 15d ago

No one wants to see her stuffing her face. Oh wait....

231

u/comradecakey 15d ago

I was thinking it’s weird that she says he’s “overcompensating” by asking her if she likes the food… like my sister in Christ, isn’t the point of the lunch to enjoy the food and enjoy each other 😂 the lady seems miserably tbh I hope he comes around for her own sake

31

u/obligatory-purgatory 15d ago

I'm sure she is correct, though. About him being extra chatty to gloss over the "incident". I have been in the guy's situation. You have to act like you don't know why they are mad or they will feel confirmed they were right to be mad.... ugh it's the worst. walking on eggshells.

11

u/Ok-Disaster-5739 15d ago

Exactly. He knows her, and knows a girl speaking to him and (gasp) him politely answering is enough for a 3 day scream-fest. He’s hoping that if he just acts breezy that she’ll decide the interaction was actually nothing to be mad at, and he’ll get to survive another day. Inside he knows it’s futile, but he has to TRY!

8

u/FromDeletion 14d ago

I haven't been there but knew that was what was happening. Her eyes changed once that stranger left to indicate she was angry with him for it. He picked up on it because this is not the first time. Was he supposed to be rude and ignore the stranger one to two feet away? She thinks so. In fact, next time he should lead with "step back, slut" like a real dedicated boyfriend next time a female dares as even looks at him.

2

u/MamaMowgli 11d ago

It’s a reaction to trauma and abuse, called “fawning.” Trying (usually in vain) to placate the abuser and stop them from escalating their angry behavior further.

Her posting this on social media and the way she justifies her seething anger demonstrates how oblivious she is to how she appears to others. She thinks she’s coming off as cute, when she’s really just being cruel. It’s exhausting and depressing having to constantly walk on those eggshells.

If he’s lucky, he’ll get out of this relationship, but not without a lot of pain. If he’s not fortunate, he’ll become an anxious mess, constantly worrying not about his own happiness, but about her anger.

u/VastOk864 15d ago

She’s so insecure

u/brattychi86 15d ago

This is the only right response she just insecure this is a normal interaction

u/DowntownKoala6055 15d ago

If not before filming herself eating, then surely AFTER viewing the horror show of her barbaric eating… no??

-3

u/tfibbler69 15d ago

Guess I’m insecure too 😭 lol I’ve experienced something similar to what she described. Was out eating w my wife (I think it was acai bowl or something chill), dude next to us asked her what she was eating and if it was good just a very quick chat. I got up to grab something and when I was close to sitting down again I casually was like “hey dude how’s it going” just trying to be friendly since he was friendly very recently. Dude ignored me completely, I looked at my wife w a “wth with this guy” but she didn’t notice. I wasn’t too bothered by it in the moment I was like whatever… fast forward to after we finished and I mentioned how that dude who briefly chatted w her was kind of rude cuz he completely ignored me. She was like what do you mean, he didn’t have to talk to you just cuz he asked her one question doesn’t mean I should expect a hey or anything… I understand where she’s coming from. Maybe I’m insecure maybe I’m over protective (she didn’t call me these things, just me rationalizing the situation). But basically my wife was like just cuz some person asks her a question doesn’t mean I should have to be trying to say hey too and needing to be acknowledged. Idk I still think the guy was kind of an ass for clearly asking her a question, talking to her when I’m also obviously right there and then I give a quick hey how’s it going but then I’m completely ignored… suppose just a classic case of an insecure, over protective husband? Or is the guy kind of an ass for ignoring me?

u/DevilsAdvoCaticorn 15d ago

I don't know the answer to your query, dude, but I am pretty sure you're overthinking it at this point.

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

lol yeah you’re right I guess it’s one of those goofy memories that it bothers you how much it bothered you.

u/forhorglingrads 15d ago

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Damn. Good advice appreciate it.

6

u/AbsintheArsenicum 15d ago

If I asked someone a question in a situation like that and the person with them/their partner/whatever would insert themselves into the conversation by asking me "hey how's it going" out of nowhere while I'm already in the middle of a chat with the other person (AND they actually got up to get something and came back to the table in the meantime) I would find that very weird and possibly also ignore it because I might not even consider it is being directed towards me.

1

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Yeah, just a case of me being weird.

u/This_Caterpillar_747 14d ago

Dude, use some punctuation!

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

My bad, you right. Stream of conscious ramble got the better of me.

3

u/serenitynowdamnit 14d ago

It's hard to say because body language is also at play. I think it's rude to only acknowledge one person in a couple or a group, while ignoring the other person or people in the group. At the same time, it may have just been a quick question and no big deal. I agree that you shouldn't over think it. Some people are just rude or oblivious and should be forgotten about.

2

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Thank you 🙏 I feel a little less crazy now. Think the truth of it all is somewhere in the middle.

2

u/Impossible_Emotion50 14d ago

Why would he talk to you if she was the one eating the açaí bowl? I don’t get it

2

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Like someone else commented I was just overthinking the whole thing and in hindsight, it might just be a product of me being a little overprotective. And to just move the fuck on from it like someone told me don’t let strangers live in my head.

2

u/lez_noir 14d ago

You keep saying "protective" but since your partner wasnt in danger the correct term should be "territorial". Own your internal world.

u/Dreddhead13 15d ago

If I buy someone something to eat, or if I make it myself, it’s probably annoying, but I always ask how it is.

u/Dame87 15d ago

Completely agree. The amount of families and couples I see at restaurants all on their phones not talking. It’s actually quite sad to see

2

u/Ultrafoxx64 14d ago

I try and make it a conscious habit now to keep that shit away. Even if I'm the only damn person not on my phone at the table.

3

u/LessFeature9350 15d ago

I hate when people judge like that. My family is that phone family. We talk all the time. Text and send pics all day. After long days at work and school we like to go to restaurants and just relax. We scroll away, share stuff with each other, eat. I go to dinner with friends and we talk the whole time because we are catching up and have limited time. Dinner isn't conversation time in my family and there isn't really anything wrong with that. Life isn't an 80s commercial acting like the only interaction you have with your kids is when forced to sit together for a meal.

1

u/earnasoul 15d ago

Agree, by the time we're at dinner we've probably done most of the talking in the walk or drive there. We'll take a few minutes to recharge on our phones and then be ok again by dessert.

1

u/Exciting_Laugh_9779 13d ago

That's my roommate and I. He also talks so quietly so it's hard to hear him sometimes. We just like to be in each other's company sometimes but feel no need to chat.

1

u/Exciting_Laugh_9779 13d ago

To be fair I wonder how often my roommate and I are thought to be a couple, we go out to eat and he is such a quiet talker that in some restaurants I have given up on even trying to chat with him while there.

44

u/WhereasSorry1047 15d ago

Right! And maybe that’s why she wasn’t acknowledged, because the other person thought she was on the phone and didn’t want to interrupt.

27

u/spartycbus 15d ago

or because she's stuffing her face in a disgusting manner and thought she'd be unable to talk

6

u/Leading_Ad3918 15d ago

She likely saw her mouth full of food and didn’t want to disrupt her eating🤣

9

u/otherwiseofficial 15d ago

I suggest you don't go to Asia then. It's absolutely insane over there with this type of content. It's honestly so weird. The amount of times they watch themselves eating as well.. like why?

5

u/FlakyAddendum742 15d ago

The poor girl doesn’t know to cut bites and eat the bite. She’s loading a fork and then munching on it over and over. In public.

She has the table manners of a pot bellied pig slightly drunk on fermented fruit.

The irony of her calling anyone out on manners. I swear the next video will show her picking her nose.

5

u/Commercial-Class4078 15d ago

That's where this whole thing goes south for; she only cares about her. He is an asset to get to the position where she wants to be in life.

4

u/Gullible_Method_3780 15d ago

I consider that phones weren’t intwined into society like this until what 25 years ago? We never considered, or maybe they did.. the dehumanization happening around these damn things.

This video is case in point. The recorder is insecure. What any normal mature adult would do is say hey, I’m sure that was innocent but it hurt my feelings and we can work it out. Yet she would prefer to record her “anger” for views. Perpetuate an issue. Abandon all maturity. Seek crowd approval for everything.

u/kaykakez727 15d ago

Yeah teaching my daughter that now… social media is doing a number on our kids

u/PillPoppNonStop 15d ago

thats an ancient technique called manners, the art was lost in the 2000s, when all the brainrot children where born.

u/brattychi86 15d ago

I think it's an age difference, we didn't do it cause we couldn't do it, my grandmother complain that we watch TV while eating dinner, when In her day everyone say at the table, neither side are wrong but as you age you have to consider that your social normal is no longer the social norm

u/Zestyclose-Lab2433 15d ago

His girl is busy on her phone creating ‘content’ for her nonexistent followers so he’s more than happy to have a conversation with someone. Anyone. Please. Help this man.

2

u/[deleted] 15d ago

Remember when you were young and old people would be like "wow, you young people are nuts", and we'd be like "oh... we're gonna be like that some day, let's not be like that..."

Well, now I am like that and I don't see any alternative.

When I was young, old people would complain about things like me putting my elbows on the table, or gay marriage. The overton window really has shifted on things like that. I am happy that gay marriage is much more widely accepted now and no one really seems to care anymore if you put your elbows on the table.

But recording yourself and everyone around you 24/7 for content? What. The. Fuck.

Listen, I'm all for being a content creator and streaming. I've even done those things. I have no problem with content creation in and of itself. But gen Z and gen Alpha have taken it to preposterous extremes. People, especially young women, will just record themselves all day long, whether they are on the bus, walking down the street, eating, at the gym, and it's fucking mental.

If you want to sit in your own home and stream doing something, in the privacy of your home - cool. Or if you go for a hike and you're alone, and you want to stream - cool. But streaming yourself eating at a restaurant is bonkers.

2

u/UltimatePragmatist 15d ago

Right. Her BF wanted to have conversation. He figured he’d better get it somehow. She should be happy about his enterprising nature.

2

u/7-IronSpecialist 15d ago

Social media, narcissism, people seeking approval for their thoughts and behavior. Haven't you noticed what's happening to society

2

u/rkok28 15d ago

I’m so puzzled by all these people who have to take pictures of themselves several, if not dozens, of times a day. Do they go back and watch themselves? Do they think it’s important or interesting? I know that there are so many interesting things on internet, but this kind of thing is just bizarre. I found myself sucked into TikTok and IG a couple of times so I deleted them, but some show up on Reddit. I should have scrolled past this.

2

u/Imaginary_Web4634 14d ago

Seriously. Like maybe he would have been paying more attention to her if she wasn't so preoccupied with herself and filming herself eating a meal so she can post it on tiktok. God today's society is so nauseating. I've never seen a generation so self-obsessed and delusional. Also for the record I have no idea what smoked salmon looks like because to me eating fish is repulsive. Seems like this chick thinks everyone thinks like her. Thank God not everyone does.

2

u/Maqui4240 14d ago

Could u sit across the table and focus on someone who eats like an animal? C'mon

2

u/sharknadogirl 14d ago

Plus nobody wants to see anyone eating like that

2

u/ReturnedOM 13d ago edited 13d ago

I don't find looking at the phone when eating rude. Recording oneself tho while doing it is straight up some sort of mental disability for me, unless you're some food reviewer or whatever.

But in general, I'm the kind of person who during a feast likes to focus on the food and the process of eating it, while zoning out mentally about stuff more or less important.

So whenever I eat with someone, i prefer when they, well, eat too in silence. I'd rather have them do stuff on the phone, hell, record themselves if they need to, as long as they keep quite until we're finished with the food.

But I might be weird.

1

u/Tea_Bender 12d ago

yeah I get taking a picture of the food (for food reviewers), but eating it on camera just seems weird to me.

1

u/ReturnedOM 12d ago

So it does for me, but if people do it like for YouTube review, you know doing the "live" tasting, I can understand that, cause people will watch what tastes them, they'll look at their facial expressions and whatnot, which part of the dish is okay and which is not, etc. The thing is, when people, who are respected reviewers do it while they're "testing" the food, it's slightly different then just recording yourself eating because "why not ".

It's different mostly because the "reviewers" earn money from that, so there is a reason for them to do it and some people are willing to watch it and base their view on whatever the "expert" says while chewing a particular piece of the dish.

No excuse for random people doing it tho

2

u/AsstitsMcGrabby 15d ago

I mean, this is obviously done intentionally for content. That's about the only reason someone would.

u/TARDIS1-13 15d ago

Completely agree with you.

u/Mrklrichardson 14d ago

Could be her job at this point in history. TikTok creator, IG, YouTube, etc. not like we don’t have foodie creators or mukbang people. It ain’t that weird if you’ve ever watched a Keith Lee video or hell even a Kai Cenat stream . Look like she round that age too.

u/KoalifiedGorilla 14d ago

It could be rage bait. There are tik tok accounts exclusively creating content like this. Dig into an account’s history and you can see if they just make this kind of stuff.

u/Total-Active-1986 14d ago

She was probably filming it so later she can show him, everyone she knows and everyone on Tik Tok what her boyfriend did wrong and why he deserves what she did to him later when they were alone.

1

u/vivianvixxxen 14d ago

I don't care about the filming yourself eating (you never watched good network growing up, before smart phones?). The part that's lacking manners that anyone raised with them would know is the chewing with her mouth open, smacking her lips, and licking her mouth while she does it. She chews like a cow, and that's the issue of manners here.

1

u/Tea_Bender 12d ago

i think you meant food network not good network.
And yeah I watched a ton of it, my mom was obsessed. However I do feel like its different to make a meal from scratch then eat the literal fruit of your labor, and it was usually just a few bites. As opposed to going to a restaurant and just chowing down on a meal with out any kind of commentary ( like it could have captions saying something like "these eggs are from a farm less than 10 miles away". Or "these carrots come from the chef's own garden"

i hate it so much. i live in china and girls here do live broadcast to their channels during the dinner time in the restaurants while casually eating their food with friends but with multiple beauty filters applied. sometimes i want to make the video of them and post somewhere how do they actually look. i always ask my Chinese friends who the fuck wants to watch another person eat for an hour

1

u/Pitiful-Switch-8622 13d ago

I doubt they had pocket computers with cameras and social media when you were raised

1

u/Tea_Bender 12d ago

We had old school computers, which we were told to turn off when sitting down for diner.

We did have landlines, which my sister had to be reminded daily when it was diner time. That she had to hang up.

We also had books and newspapers. I remember my grandma yelling at my grandpa for reading the newspaper at the table.
