Enjoyingspicy foodor, to be more specific, hot sauce isnt such a rare thing.
Well, apparently there are some people who dont think this way.
And by doing this, he effectively strained his girlfriends friendships.
Granted, she never took her own sauce to restaurants.
She says it would be poor taste in her culture and not allowed in the restaurants.
For some, it seemed like quite a reasonable thing to do.
For example, maybe a restaurant doesnt serve a hot enough sauce that a person wants.
Others deemed it as a rude gesture.
Manners expertThomas P. Farley was on the latter side of the debate.
Well, as the OP said herself, she never did anything like it.
Her emergency sauce was for take-out food and her spice-intolerant close friendscooking.
She also doesnt drown her food in the condiment she likes to mix it with regular bites.
Thishabitwill become a catalyst for the events described in the story.
Once, she, her husband, and herfriendshad planned a dinner.
One friend brought her new boyfriend Jim to the outing.
It was about how people with Down syndrome are a drain on society.
Not so funny, is it?
Then, when the food arrived, the OP habitually asked for a second bottle of hot sauce.
When she started using it as she always does, it caught Jims eye.
He gave a dirty look and asked her why she was using hot sauce like an idiot.
She explained her habit, but this didnt hey him.
He turned to his girlfriend and called the author the R-word.
Basically, using it isno betterthan using any other slur against a minority group.
So, no wonder the OP saw red after getting called this.
Then, she decided to retribute.
But instead of using slurs, she called him disgusting and disrespectful.
But the story doesnt end here.
Whats even worse is that after the original poster left, all the other friends followed.
Apparently, they couldnt stand the dude either.
She felt that this incident made everyone hate her, thus alienating her from the friend group.
This dude didnt deserve it.
People on Reddit agreed with this sentiment.
They talked about how awful the friends boyfriend was.
They also noted that the friend seemed to be stuck in atoxic relationship.
