Selfish But Hungry Pet Owner Turns To Reddit For Advice, Hilarity Ensues
A lot of the time, our pets turn out to be our life partners, and every good relationship requires a little bit of sneaking around every once in a while. No?Hear me out! My partner's birthday was last week, and I didn't want them to find their presents before the big day! So, I had to sneak over to a friend's house and hide them and act all nonchalant as my partner questioned me about what I'd bought them. Yes, honesty is almost always the best policy, but in this context, I think it was fine.
Another person who had a similar thought recently was Redditor u/Twentyonehotdogs. This week they posted in a thread called r/TrueOffMyChest to confess their crime and ask to be excused. What was their crime you ask? Why were they sneaking around? Well, apparently Mr. Hot Dogs decided to hide in his car and eat a whole cheeseburger meal just so he wouldn't have to share it with his dog! Unbelievable.
But get this- while some comments shamed the owner, saying that the dog deserves his own cheeseburger now, others applauded the owner and revealed that they do the same thing! And it's not just pets who are getting left out. Mothers responded saying they eat French fries before coming home to the kids. Grandmothers responded saying they eat ice cream while hiding from the grandkids. I mean what happened to sharing, people!?!?
Anyway, we picked out our favorite comments and stories from the thread and figured they could teach us all a few things about honesty and friendship. We think it'll make you laugh, and maybe even push you to buy your dog a treat. Enjoy!

So Many Levels of Shame
The shame… u/Twentyonehotdogs obviously didn't feel good about it, but eating their cheeseburger meal in the car seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I'm sure we've all had that thought before. Eat in the car, our pets don't realize they're missing out, it's a win-win- if you can still sleep at night. And, if you read to the end of this thread, you'll actually see that u/Twentyonehotdogs came to their senses and learned to share in the end!

Caught Red and Yellow Handed
This commenter really hit the nail on the nose when they pointed out that the dog definitely knows! A dog's sense of smell can be up to 40 times stronger than a human's, and the oily smell of fried fast-food can linger on fingers and clothes for hours. Point being, this dog knew what he was missing. Hopefully, though, he won't hold a grudge.
