That's a copypasta reference of another post from the guy's perspective.

From his perspective, she is just a weird coworker who likes to touch his food, and he gets tired of telling her off.

I've never seen that link before in my life

[–] tungsten5@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

My brother did this to me once. Not because I was trying to fuck by touching his food, he did it just to fuck with me.

Hey Tungsten5, watch this

Punches the fuck out of my macdons burger, flattening it

He also pulled the same line before doing burnout in my car.

Deserved, you don't mess with people's food PERIOD

This sounds like the kind of flirting I'd expect after seeing '80s and '90s teen angst movies. In retrospect screenwriters just don't understand how humans interact, or rather they just don't care and go for madcap antics instead.

I'm way neurodivergent, and was completely unaware of human interaction, so I was looking at Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo's Fire (etc. etc.) trying to decipher how all that works.

I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction. (Note that I matrix-dodged a barrage of incel-to-fascist pipeline bullets thanks to some amazing strokes of fortune.)

After the fact, in recollection, I realized then that a lot of women in my young adult life were signalling me and I never knew.

I also realized my aunt was totally hitting on me when I was sixteen. That's all sorts of awkward to reconcile.

"I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction."

Solidarity fist bump. My own experience was somewhat different, but there is the common ground of learning communication skills on a lag, and learning from a niche community of lovely weirdos

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 3 points 23 hours ago

That's exactly my experience, minus the creepy aunt and the kink community. My girlfriend is the exact same and I still don't know how we managed a first kiss. I wouldn't miss it for the world now, though.

seriously who touches others food to flirt?!

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 123 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Flirty people in movies.

Real people in relationships.

Weirdos who deserve to have their reheated fast food burger smashed.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

LOL my partner is a germaphobe and would be very upset if I touched his food. I'll cook it, sure, but I sure as fuck wouldn't poke his food with my bare hands randomly at dinner.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's one of those things that works in movies because it's something you can get away with if you're incredibly attractive. There's a whole stock images category involving girls licking their fingers, mostly in a seductive style. But, in the real world, it's something you do with your husband or long-term partner, not a random cow-orker.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (5 children)

But those girls are licking their OWN food off their fingers, not pasta sauce from sticking their hand into a co-worker's spaghetti! Even within an intimate relationship grabbing the other person's food isn't appropriate without consent.

It wasn’t flirting, but this ADHD positive girl I was crushing on(and was crushing on me) once absentmindedly stuck the tip of her finger in a full glass of water in front of her to ask whose it was and I had to desperately fight falling in love right then and there.

Now, that was an accident born of silly brain vs purposefully fucking with someone’s food so I understand the difference, but I really like my story so…

ITT: people taking a shitpost from 4chan seriously.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 79 points 1 day ago

I made this greentext with photoshop in response to this post

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You can discuss the events of a story, and the relative morality and social etiquette of the characters in it, even if the whole thing is entirely fiction. Functionally, it makes no difference if it really happened or it didn't. Sometimes that matters, but here is doesn't. You don't know these people, you'll never meet these people, and there's no real-world effect of discussing this story (except maybe someone learns not to touch somebody else's food?).

Fuck it, you could be a bot programmed to complain about people taking shitposts seriously. I could be an AI created to respond to your prompts to try to convince you not to complain about fabricated stories. This entire interaction could be four bots engaged in a learning exercise in a simulated online forum. Or maybe it was all a dream the whole time.

It's not weird to touch other people's food everyone does it just for fun. Go to your neighbor's house and touch their food and you can laugh together.

How are we so sure bro wasn't just flirting back?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

Because he was smashing the burger, not femanon.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (6 children)

"Touching his food" can run the gamut between:

Take one of his potato chips and eat it

to

Stick my thumb in his soup

If a friend or family member took one of my potato chips and ate it, I'd probably be fine with it. At worst I'd be a little annoyed. If an acquaintance or cow-orker did that it would be a little more strange, but not the end of the world. But, the other end of the spectrum is much weirder.

Grabbing a potato chip, if done carefully, will mean not touching anything else. Any dirt or germs on the toucher's hands aren't going to get spread around the rest of the food, but touching a liquid or something with sauce on it is different. IMO, touching someone's pasta is definitely on the germ-spreading end of the scale.

Fake: well obviously

Gay: almost certainly written by a guy

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

Anyone who sticks their hands in my food uninvited is not someone I would like a relationship with.

Respect boundaries.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Instead, he smashes my burger to bits without even looking away from his coffee, just stares at me
Without looking away from his coffee
Just stares at me

how he do that

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 day ago

She forgot to mention his lazy eye

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

She was lounging in his coffee cup like it was a hot tub.

I'm not sure if the guy was trying to protect his virginity, or if he was genuinely bothered by the damn bitch constantly touching his food. I'd be annoyed too if someone kept sticking their hand in my food every single day.

This is not flirting. It is socially maladjusted behaviour. Just because it has worked before doesn't mean it is a good idea.

Pickup artists do all kinds of stupid shit that works that isn't socially acceptable either.
