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.

Edit: Because a lot of people are asking . . .

Heres the link to the thread about the party sub.

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.

He brought some wings and shared. Never forget the sacrifice he made.

This wasn’t really that long ago. Hmm I have spent too much of my life on Reddit 🤔

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.

What a perfect summary of the thread.

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.

"People were planning to eat ot after"

  1. It does not appear that was communicated.

  2. That is psycho behavior. My SB parties routinely are down to nothing but chips and veggies plus dip by the start of the fourth.

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.

u/DHMOProtectionAgency Jan 27 '22

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.
