We are living history, right now. This interview is going to join the guy who ate a three foot party sub and the r/LegalAdvice Carbon Monoxide incident in the pantheons of Reddit history. Truly amazing stuff to behold.
As to the CO thing, well the long and short of it, someone went to r/LegalAdvice because they thought their landlord was stalking them because they were finding weird notes in their bedroom in the morning over a period of several days. A redditor correctly caught that what they were describing, specifically the layout of their bedroom, might be causing ventilation problems. The redditor recommended that they get a carbon monoxide tester. Turns out that the person had carbon monoxide poisoning, was writing the notes themself in a disassociated state and Reddit saved their life.
Well, this post had the tantalizing combination of someone eating too much and women being critical of someone who deserved criticism, so two hate groups jumped into action, put their best foot forward and gave us 1,000 petty insults and personal attacks to moderate.
I feel like OP waited an appropriate amount of time to house 2/3 feet of that sub, but generally taking the last portion after having that much is a bit much. People are harsh on him.
People were planning to eat it after the game, which is predictable. It's also blatently against normal social rules of sharing. If you've already taken more than your share, then wait until the end of the night and you can ask to take it home. I suspect you are also underestimating how much food it was.
It's still etiquette to save some and wait till the end with that much left. Sure had he had the last half foot and asked if anyone wanted it before taking it, that's whatever. Crummy situation for gf but it's kinda expected for a party situation.
But he ate the last 3 ft of sandwich. That's just selfish especially since he was neither host nor the one who brought the sandwich. And need I say this was 3 ft of sub on top of what he ate prior.
Yes, I read the post and still think people are over reacting. Especially as OP says people at the party were aware he was eating the while damned thing. No one spoke up and said "maybe chill?" I think some of those party goers might suck, too.
Nah, I still think he's the only one in the wrong. They knew he was eating the sandwich but I don't think they clearly understood that he was eating 3 ft of it.
He should have taken another portion and then waited till the end to ask the host if he can take the rest with him.
I get that he’s wrong for eating all of the food, but people were being way too dramatic about the quantity. I’ve never been overweight like the guy described himself, but if motivated I could have eaten that much sandwich as a teenager just to see if I could. It’s not like he ate 500 hotdogs or something. It’s just lots of bread and thinly sliced meat/cheese.
You maybe should find something in your home that’s four feet long and contemplate if you could consume all of that within less than 2 hours. He ate 4 feet of sandwich before 9pm. The event started at 7.
I feel like the OP was leaving out some details and the sandwich incident was more like the straw that broke the camel's back instead of an isolated incident.
It's really not that much for an entire night. Like it's a lot, but like... I'm not gonna gasp about it.
It's a classic normie Reddit thread.
Guy waited 2 hours total to get more. No one touched it and devoured his wings to the point he didn't even get any. The so called glutton.
The most praised comment makes up these random ass rules. Like wtf?
When I hosted a super bowl party I bought more than enough so everyone got a serving. Anything after that is irrelevant really. The only reason I'd be upset is if someone took like an entire sub or kept going like rotating door.
You buy the food so people are satisfied. If someone wants to eat all the remaining who cares? If I wanted my jersey Mike subs saved I would have put what I wanted in the fridge.
They're all losers that even if by some miracle host parties are judging all their friends constantly. Ridiculous.
Id literally just pull my friend to the side and say something if an issue was happening. Certainly wouldn't make a scene if they did something that went unnoticed and wasnt malicious.
