And the entitlement just continues to run amok, folks. It sounds like the whole dynamic that's present in this relationship between our angry chef and some entitled neighbors has spiraled out of control in terms of toxicity. Maybe the neighbors learned their valuable lesson about not complaining when it comes to free food. And if you do, perhaps don't expect to receive any more free food in the future. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/throwaway98760123, who recounted their story of standing up to their neighbors after being completely disrespected. The reality is that these neighbors need to develop a filter and get over themselves. If they decided they didn't like the food, they should know not to ask the Redditor to cook for them, even if it's just for their benefit. The fact that they had the audacity to voice their dislike and then demand that she cook for them again is some kind of lack of self-awareness we can't even begin to fathom. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

    Font - AITA for refusing to cook for my neighbours My neighbours are distant relatives of our family, so we have a good relationship with them. They are a family of three, an aunt, an uncle and a little girl (let's call her S) who's practically like a little sister to me. I love to cook and I always cook or bake something everyday. My parents came to my house to visit, so my aunt and uncle asked if I can cook so that we can have lunch together at my home. I said okay and spent half day cooking a

    Font - so he takes it everywhere. While eating, my aunt said the rice was undercooked and my uncle said it was overcooked (yes, they contradicted each other) and tried to make S say something bad about the food but she was so embarrassed (I think) and yelled at them that the food is good and then my uncle refused to eat the chicken because I would've added butter to it. I know he doesn't like dairy products so I specifically made this with oil and didn't use anything related to dairy (he's not a

    Font - After two weeks of this incident, I was going out for grocery shopping when my aunt and uncle saw me and asked if I could make chicken and we could have dinner together. I just politely said that they didn't like my cooking last time so l'm not doing it. They said no, we didn't like the fried chicken so this time you can make gravy or something because S liked my chicken better. I firmly said no l'm not cooking for them today and went on my way. They had called my parents and said I was d

    Font - AedynBlayse · 7h You're NTA OP. You already did them a favor of cooking for them. Nobody would want to cook for someone, spend their time on it, only to receive cutting criticism. Furthermore, even if they were really happy with your food the first time, you aren't obligated to make food for them again. + G Reply 98

    Product - Is this a joke? If not, your family is full of petty, entitled child-like adults who go out of their way to pick a fight over nothing. Their utter lack of basic manners is also remarkable. NTA, but you know you don't have to play along, do you? Unless you're a minor and still live with your parents. 6 Reply 1 115 3

    Font - NTA, if they want someone to cook whatever they want for them they can go to a restaurant. You did something nice for them and they spend all their time criticizing the food you made. Now they're asking you to do it again? Seems to me they are feeling entitled to your cooking and want you to make whatever they request. G Reply 4 15 3 ... +

    Organism - Wtf did I just read? Is this some sort of a cultural norm where you're expect to cook for older family members when they decide they want it? If so l'd stay away from this level of entitlement. You are in now way TA, you're not their maid and they are treating you like one. NTA G Reply 1 36 3

    Font - katonymus · 3h NTA. You are not a short order cook/restaurant. If S likes the chicken you did, you could have provided the recipe, but a recipe doesn't mean YOU have to cook it. If I were you I would try to fix the relationship with S and it still doesn't mean you have to cook. G Reply 仓29

    Font - NTA but perhaps you could invite S over for dinner sometimes on her own? If the parents act that way at home, she's looking at a future eating disorder. A little sane food might help. G Reply ...
