Redditor Shares Their Over-The-Top Way Of Ensuring They Never Have To Share Their Food

If you're a Friends fan (and who isn't?), you'll be familiar with the phrase, "Joey doesn't share food!" Well, neither does Reddit user u/ThrowAwayFoodie22 who recently posted about it in the AITA (Am I The A**hole?) subreddit.

The original poster explained that they don't like sharing food with people, so they feel awkward when people want to sample their food. The Redditor says they get worried about other people's saliva getting on the cutlery and contaminating the food.

The OP is also very careful with monitoring their caloric and protein intake each day. So, when someone eats some of their portion, it makes tracking their macros very difficult.

The Reddit user says that every time they go out for a meal with family or friends, they order two of everything. The OP pays for all the extra portions, and whenever someone asks to taste their food, there is always a spare portion available.

The Redditor says they sometimes get a few odd glances, but it has never been a real issue before. But recently, the OP and their cousin went out for dinner at a nice restaurant.

Seeing as OP was paying, they asked their cousin if she was going to try any of their steak. When she said yes, the OP called the waiter back and ordered an extra portion.

The Redditor's cousin was offended, and the rest of the dinner was extremely awkward. They sat in silence for most of the evening.

Later, the OP heard that their cousin had been talking about what happened with other family members. She told everyone that the Redditor had acted like an a**hole, and some of the family agreed with her.

The OP says they don't understand why everyone thinks they were being selfish, so they turned to Reddit for advice. Keep scrolling to see how people reacted.
